Manik pov:

"This morning, I reflected on the past six months and the transformative journey our hospital has undergone. As I strive for excellence in my profession, I'm grateful for the unwavering support of my friends and colleagues. Despite the chaos, my personal life has remained a constant source of comfort. Whenever I find a spare moment, I cherish spending time with my parents, watching them smile, and listening to their wisdom.

"Apart from family, my friendships with Avantika and Nandini have deepened. We often steal away moments together, laughing, and sharing stories. These fleeting moments recharge my batteries and remind me of the importance of human connection.

"Recently, my parents broached the topic of marriage. I hesitated, unsure of how to express my feelings. Though I didn't confess my growing interest in Nandini, I sense my mom intuited with my emotions. Her knowing gaze lingered, but she didn't press the issue.

"As Nandini and I grew closer, our friendship blossomed. I discovered her kindness, empathy, and exceptional medical skills. Our conversations flow effortlessly, and I find myself drawn to her warm smile and sparkling eyes. While our relationship remains platonic, I've begun to develop feelings for her. I sense she might reciprocate, but I'm hesitant to make a move, unsure of the future.

"For now, I'm savoring the present, grateful for the camaraderie, and the promise of new beginnings."

Nandini pov:

"Six months have passed since I started my residency, and it's been a whirlwind of emotions. As a first-year resident, I'm constantly learning and growing, both as a doctor and as a person. The hospital has become my second home, and I've formed strong bonds with my colleagues, especially Manik.

Whenever I see Manik, my heart skips a beat. I feel a flutter in my chest, and my palms grow sweaty. I've developed feelings for him, but I'm hesitant to express them. I want to share my emotions with my parents first, seeking their guidance and blessing. Only then will I feel confident enough to reveal my true feelings to Manik.

I remember the first time we worked together on a case. The way he smiled at me, the way his eyes crinkled at the corners, left me breathless. I felt like I was melting into his gaze.

Being a doctor is vastly different from being a student. Theoretical knowledge is one thing, but practical application is a whole new ball game. These six months have been a steep learning curve, but I'm loving every moment of it.

I recall the smell of disinfectant and the sound of beeping machines in the ICU. It's a sensory overload, but it's also exhilarating. I feel alive, like I'm making a difference.

As I reflect on the past six months, I realize how much I've grown. I'm no longer just a student; I'm a doctor, with real responsibilities and the power to make a difference in people's lives. It's a daunting yet exhilarating feeling, and I'm eager to see what the future holds."

Mukti pov:

"Six months have passed, and my life has undergone a significant transformation. Professionally, I've been striving for excellence in my field, and it's rewarding to see my hard work pay off. I recall the rush of adrenaline I feel when I'm in the operating room, the smell of antiseptic and the sound of beeping machines. It's exhilarating, and I feel alive.

But personally, life has been a bit more complicated. My parents have been pressuring me to get married, and I can feel the weight of their expectations bearing down on me. My heart sinks whenever they bring it up, and I feel a knot in my stomach. But when I'm with Abhi, all those worries fade away. I feel a flutter in my chest, a smile spreads across my face, and I'm filled with a sense of calm.
