The Royal Healer

I was seventeen. . . Seventeen, when I met Atulya Singh. Nineteen, when I became his close mate. Twenty when I was friend-zoned. Twenty-three when he decided to join the same hospital as I. Twenty-four when he decided to date the one girl that I wasn't fond of. Twenty-five, when he told me that he might be falling in love. Twenty-six, when he came with a broken heart. Now, I'm twenty-seven, telling him to fuck off.

I was eighteen. . . Eighteen, when she caught my eye. Nineteen, when destiny brought us together. Twenty-one, when I realised my feelings for her. Twenty-four, when I decided to follow her. Twenty-five, when I didn't want to risk anything. Twenty-seven, when she announced her engagement. Now, at twenty-eight, she's telling me to fuck off.
