DIAGNOSIS: US

He was never supposed to become her weakness.

Ayra Krishnan has always been the sunshine in her family.

Nineteen, a second-year MBBS student, endlessly pampered and slightly too mischievous for her own good, Ayra has grown up believing that life is meant to be enjoyed-and that someone will always be there to catch her when she falls.

Then there's Dr. Rishab Kapoor.

Twenty-seven.
General Surgeon.
Assistant Professor.
And the one person Ayra has known almost all her life.

To her, he was once just her brother's irritating best friend-the older boy who teased her, annoyed her and somehow always seemed to know when she was getting into trouble.

Years later, he's no longer just that boy.

He's the surgeon everyone respects.

The professor everyone is careful around.

The man who seems to have built an entire life around keeping people at a distance.

And Ayra?

She's still the one person who doesn't seem to understand the meaning of distance.

Maybe because she doesn't know what he's hiding.

Maybe because he doesn't know what she's beginning to feel.

Or maybe...

some relationships were never meant to stay where they began.

Sometimes, the most unexpected person becomes the one diagnosis you never saw coming.
