Chapter 1: The First Step

It was Myra's first day at the hospital, and she was filled with excitement mixed with a tinge of nervousness. Her heart raced as she walked through the grand hospital doors. This wasn’t just any hospital—it was the place where Dr. Avik, the renowned surgeon, worked. Myra had heard stories about him, his brilliance, and his unshakable calm in the most intense situations. Today, she was stepping into his world. As his new assistant, she felt both nervous and eager to prove herself.

The morning began with a rush. Myra woke up early, her hands slightly trembling as she prepared a simple breakfast. A quick look in the mirror showed her well-prepared, but she couldn’t stop the butterflies in her stomach. “You can do this, Myra,” she whispered to herself, straightening her uniform. She wasn’t just here to learn—she was here to shine.

She reached the hospital with just enough time to spare. The atmosphere was electric, filled with doctors, nurses, and staff moving with purpose. As she walked towards the break room to meet her fellow assistants, she could feel the weight of the day ahead. But she wasn’t alone—today, she would be meeting others who, like her, were here to support Dr. Avik.

The break room door creaked open, and Myra stepped in to meet three other assistants. The room buzzed with conversations, but as soon as they saw Myra, they paused, giving her curious glances. Nisha, the oldest and most experienced of them, smiled warmly and reached out her hand.

“Hey, you must be Myra! Don’t worry, it’s normal to feel nervous. We’ve all been there.”

Myra smiled, feeling her nerves ease. “I just want to make a good impression,” she admitted.

Ria, a more reserved assistant, nodded, offering a quiet, “You’ll do fine.”

Anjali, who had a mischievous glint in her eyes, added with a playful smile, “If you can handle Dr. Avik’s serious face, you’ll fit right in.”

Myra’s eyes widened. “Is he really that strict?”

Nisha chuckled. “He’s intense, but if you stay focused, you’ll learn a lot. He’s brilliant.”

With a deep breath, Myra joined the others. The camaraderie was comforting, and as they chatted about their roles and the hospital’s busy routines, Myra started to feel a bit more at ease. The nerves that had gripped her seemed to loosen, replaced with a growing sense of excitement.

Soon, they were all heading toward their respective floors. As Myra walked down the hallway, her heart skipped a beat when she saw him—Dr. Avik. He was everything she had imagined—tall, sharp, and commanding. His presence filled the room, and the way he moved with such confidence made her almost forget how to breathe.

“Are you Myra?” His voice was deep and calm, yet there was something about it that made her stand up straighter.

“Yes, Dr. Avik,” she said quickly, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice.

He nodded and motioned for her to follow. “There’s a lot to do today. Let’s get started.”

As Myra followed him through the hospital, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. Every step she took with Dr. Avik felt like a step toward something bigger than herself. The hospital felt like a world on its own, and Avik was at its center.

“Stay focused,” he said without looking back. “This isn’t an easy job. You need to keep up.”

Myra’s heart raced, but she nodded, her resolve firming up. “Yes, Dr. Avik.”

And so, the day began. Myra’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She was here, in the heart of the hospital, working alongside the man who was as much a legend as he was a mystery. Little did she know, this first day would mark the beginning of a journey that would challenge everything she thought she knew about herself—and about him.
