Mishika watched as Dr. Soni expertly examined Aisha, his face a picture of concentration. She felt a sense of gratitude towards this stranger who was taking care of her baby.
As he finished the examination, he turned to her with a warm smile. "Aisha is perfectly healthy, Mishika. You're doing a great job as a mom."
His words were like a balm to her soul, soothing her fears and worries. For the first time in weeks, she felt a glimmer of hope.
Avyaan couldn't help but notice the way Mishika's eyes lit up when she talked about her baby. Her love and dedication were palpable, and he found himself drawn to her strength.
They discussed Aisha's health, he was struck by Mishika's intelligence and awareness. She was a formidable partner in her child's care, and he appreciated her proactive approach.
As they chatted, Mishika found herself opening up to Dr. Soni about her struggles as a new mother, her fears and doubts. He listened attentively, offering words of encouragement and support.
Their conversation flowed effortlessly, and Avyaan felt a sense of ease with Mishika that he rarely experienced with his patients. It was as if they shared a connection beyond the scope of medicine.
As the consultation ended, Avyaan realized he was looking forward to their next meeting. He wanted to see Mishika and Aisha thrive, and he was eager to support them on their journey.
Little did he know, this was just the beginning of a complex and emotional journey, one that would challenge his professional boundaries and stir up feelings he thought he'd long buried.
