The Surgeon Who Fell First
"If one day... your dad asks you to choose between me and him," Neil whispered one night, his hand tracing soft circles on her palm, "what would you do?"
Avni looked into his eyes, her voice trembling. "I'd beg him to understand. But if he doesn't... I'll still choose you."
"Don't promise me things you might not keep," he murmured, brushing her hair back. "Because I fall a little harder every time you do."

In the bustling corridors of a prestigious hospital and the dreamy cafΓ©s of a college town, Avni-a final-year medical student-and Neil-a third-year surgical resident, gym freak, social media star, and a man with eyes only for her-built a love story that was the envy of everyone. Four years of stolen glances, midnight study dates, cozy ward duty naps, and promises whispered in moonlight.
But fate wasn't kind. Avni's father draws the line-no love marriage, no public figure. Caught between the love of her life and the family she's terrified to disappoint, Avni breaks Neil's heart.
Now he hides his pain behind reels, surgeries, and anonymous blog posts that scream of a love too deep to forget. While her engagement looms closer, his words reach her, each post carving open memories she buried.
