The next morning, Ravi awoke with a sense of anticipation tinged with nerves. As he prepared for the day, his mind buzzed with thoughts of the nursing program and what living as a girl would entail. He quickly dressed and joined Meera at the breakfast table, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.

"Did you talk to your contacts?" he asked, barely able to contain his excitement.

Meera took a deep breath, her expression serious as she set down her mug. "Yes, I spoke with the dean of a top university. They have an excellent nursing program, but there are some conditions."

Ravi leaned in closer, eager for the details. "I'm ready for anything! Just tell me."

Meera paused, weighing her words. "The program is exclusively for girls. They have a strict policy to maintain their legacy and do not allow boys to enroll."

Ravi's heart sank. "But I want this so badly," he said, frustration creeping into his voice. "I thought there might be a way..."

"I know," Meera replied gently. "But there's one option. I talked to a contact who can help create the necessary documents for you as Riya. However, you'll need to fully commit to living as a girl."

Ravi's eyes widened, hope igniting within him. "What would that involve?"

"You'll need to undergo a transformation," Meera explained. "This will include not just appearance, but also medication to help with the process. It's going to take about a month, and you'll have to make quick decisions. You only have 40 days of vacation before the program starts."

Ravi felt a whirlwind of emotions-confusion, curiosity, and excitement. After a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay. If that's what it takes, I'm willing to try."

Meera nodded, but concern flickered across her face. "Ravi, think carefully. Living as a girl means adapting to a whole new world, and it won't be easy. You'll need to navigate a lot, from your appearance to how you interact with others."

"I understand," he replied, determination settling in. "I've already stepped into that world a little as Riya. I can do this. Nursing feels like the right path for me."

"Alright," Meera said, her voice firm yet supportive. "Be ready for everything. We'll start your transformation tomorrow, and I'll be there to guide you through each step."

After breakfast, they spent the day discussing the transformation. Meera outlined the process: adjusting his appearance, adopting new mannerisms, and preparing for life in a hostel shared with other girls.

"Staying true to yourself while embodying this new identity is key," she advised. "You'll face questions and challenges, but it's all part of the journey."

Ravi nodded, his resolve strengthening. "I'll be ready. I want to give it my all."

As they wrapped up their discussions, a sense of anticipation hung in the air. That night, as Ravi lay in bed, he felt excitement mixed with anxiety. Thoughts raced through his mind about the transformation, the new friends he would make, and the challenges he would face. He envisioned himself walking through the halls of a nursing school, fulfilling his dream of helping others.

With a sense of purpose warming his heart, he drifted off to sleep, ready to embrace whatever came next. His dreams were filled with images of nursing, the white coat he hoped to wear, and the lives he would touch.

Tomorrow would mark the beginning of a profound journey, one that would challenge him in ways he never anticipated, but also open doors to a future he had longed for. Ravi was determined to embrace the unknown, ready to step into a new life as Riya once more.
