Pulse Doesn't Pretend

Advay and Anaya grew up around each other because their fathers were childhood friends. Their families were close, their lives often crossed, and even as kids, they had a quiet bond.

Advay came from a big joint family where the house was always full, but he kept to himself. He didn't like being involved with his cousins or the constant noise. Anaya, on the other hand, lived in a small, warm home. Being expressive came naturally to her, and she always pulled Advay out of his silence without even trying.

They weren't in love back then. They were just two kids who understood each other without needing too many words.

As they grew older, life drifted them apart. The families still knew each other, but Advay and Anaya stopped being as close.

They found each other again. This time, they were older, more aware, and carrying the pressure of becoming doctors. What started with sharing notes and checking up on each other slowly became something deeper. Advay became her calm when she panicked. Anaya became the warmth he didn't know he needed.

They didn't say it out loud, but something was definitely forming between them.

But love isn't always smooth.
Anaya's overthinking, a third person's involvement, and bad timing created misunderstandings between them. Small things piled up, assumptions grew, and before they could fix it, they broke apart.

Still, no matter how much they tried to move on, their feelings didn't fade. They kept coming back to each other's thoughts, even when they weren't talking.

and finally with time they clear everything. They choose each other.
