In the sterile glow of the operating room, Dr. Mauli Malhotra wields her scalpel with precision, stitching together lives. But beyond the surgical mask, her own heart remains an open wound.

At twenty-seven, she carries the weight of unmet expectations-a love unreturned. The man she fell for at thirteen, her life-long love, chose another path. Their union, a marriage of convenience, binds them in silent agony. 

Loneliness echoes through their home, and she seeks solace in knowledge. Yet, understanding reveals the jagged edges of her unrequited love. Life unfolds unexpectedly, leaving scars on her spirit.

As She faces her greatest challenge-to heal herself-she wonders if love can be measured in surgical precision. Can she cut away unhealthy attachments and suture her wounds? Or will she remain forever bound by invisible threads?
