IT'S NOT OVER Chapter 84
The following week, Reyansh and Saarayu, with a wide-eyed Avi in tow, ventured onto the bustling campus of Reyansh's university. The cacophony of student chatter and the purposeful stride of professors was a stark contrast to the quietude of their mornings spent building castles with blocks.Avi, perched on Reyansh's shoulders, bounced with excitement, her tiny hand clutching a stuffed elephant named Ellie. "Big school, Dada!" she squealed, pointing at the imposing red-brick buildings.Reyansh chuckled, his heart swelling with a pride that went beyond his scientific achievements. He loved showing off his world, and now, he had the opportunity to share it with the two most important people in his life.Their first stop was Reyansh's lab. He carefully opened the door, revealing a space filled with gleaming equipment and bubbling concoctions. Avi, momentarily speechless, took it all in – the whirring centrifuges, the microscopes with their curious eyepieces, the rows of beakers fille

The sterile lights of the operating room cast a harsh glare on the tense scene. Dr. Reyansh, his brow furrowed in concentration, meticulously completed the final sutures on his patient. Hours had melted away during the complex surgery, the atmosphere thick with the quiet hum of equipment and the rhythmic beeps of the heart monitor. Finally, with a satisfied nod, Reyansh stepped back, a wave of exhaustion washing over him."Successful surgery, Dr. Malhotra," the attending nurse announced, her voice laced with relief.A tired smile tugged at Reyansh's lips. Relief washed over him, battling the fatigue that threatened to consume him. Another life saved, another victory against the ever-present threat of illness. Stepping out of the OR, he was greeted by a wave of concerned faces – colleagues, family members, and most importantly, Saarayu.Her eyes, usually sparkling with amusement, held a deep well of worry. The prestigious pediatrician award ceremony she was supposed to attend that even

The following days unfolded in a whirlwind of activity. Reyansh, fueled by strong coffee and a renewed sense of purpose after his successful surgery, threw himself back into his research. Saarayu, still basking in the afterglow of her well-deserved award (a ceremony Reyansh insisted on attending despite his exhaustion), juggled her demanding shifts at the hospital with playtime adventures for Avi.One afternoon, while Saarayu was busy checking on a young patient, Reyansh received a call from his lab. A breakthrough! A critical component in his research had yielded unexpected results, potentially paving the way for a significant advancement in his field. Excitement crackled in his voice as he shared the news with Saarayu later that evening."This is huge, Reyansh!" Saarayu exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with pride for him. "It could change everything!"He grinned, his enthusiasm infectious. "Exactly! I need to get back to the lab and run some more tests. Maybe you could join me later? W

The afterglow of the Nobel Prize ceremony had barely faded when the media storm hit. Photos of Reyansh and Saarayu, their faces beaming with joy at the reception, flooded the news. Headlines screamed: "Nobel Laureate Finds Love!" and "Secret Romance Blossoms Between Scientist and Doctor!"Saarayu groaned, burying her face in a newspaper as the doorbell chimed incessantly. Reyansh, showered with interview requests and congratulations, emerged from his study looking slightly bewildered."Morning sunshine," he greeted, his voice laced with amusement. "Seems like the media had a field day with us."Saarayu peeked over the newspaper, a mock glare on her face. "Thanks to you, Dr. Nobel Laureate," she quipped. "Now I have reporters camped outside my door, asking if I'm your secret girlfriend."Reyansh chuckled, walking towards her and taking the newspaper gently from her hands. "Honestly, Saarayu, I have no idea how those pictures got out. I certainly didn't leak them."Saarayu studied his f

The afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the window of Dr. Saarayu Patel's office, illuminating the concerned frown etched on Revanth's young face. A college student with a mop of unruly brown hair and eyes that held a dullness that belied his age, Revanth had hesitantly sought counseling after weeks of feeling lost and unmotivated."So," Dr. Saarayu began, her voice gentle yet firm, "you mentioned feeling down lately. Can you tell me a bit more about what's been going on?"Revanth shifted in his chair, picking at the edge of his worn notebook. "It's just… everything feels pointless, Dr. Patel. Like I'm going through the motions, but there's no spark anymore. College feels overwhelming, my social life is nonexistent, and even things I used to enjoy don't seem to bring any joy."Saarayu listened patiently, nodding in understanding. This was a familiar territory for her, both as a doctor and as someone who had witnessed similar struggles in her friend, Reyansh."It sounds like you're

Heera kept glancing at her watch and then out at the road, her impatience growing with every passing minute. "How much longer to the railway station?" she demanded in an irritated tone. "If I miss the Tirupati train, you'll have to get me there in this auto.""Madam, why don't you book a cab?" the auto-driver suggested.She forced a tight smile. "I didn't ask for advice. Just focus on driving."After what seemed like an eternity, but was only 15 minutes, Heera jumped out of the auto, paid the driver, and dashed into the railway station. Her heart sank as she saw the train slowly pulling away from the platform. In her haste, she stumbled over someone's luggage and fell to the ground."No! Oh, God, no!" she cried out, watching helplessly as the train picked up speed and disappeared from sight.Meanwhile, the owner of the fallen luggage approached, exclaiming, "Oh no!" as he spotted his suitcase on the ground.He stretched out his hand to retrieve his luggage, but Heera, still dazed from

Both boarded the train and settled into seats opposite each other by the windows, each determined to ignore the other. Revanth sipped his juice and gazed out at the passing scenery, trying to relax.His phone rang, and he answered it with a sigh. "Hi, dude... You won't believe my luck. I planned to enjoy a trip with my family, but guess what? I'm stuck traveling with a dinosaur."Heera shot him a furious look, her eyes practically blazing.Just then, the ticket collector (T.C.) arrived. "Tickets, please," he requested.Heera handed over her ticket without a word. The T.C. then turned to Revanth."Sir, I showed you both our tickets, right?" Revanth said with a smirk.The T.C. looked confused. "I need to see both tickets separately, sir."Revanth sighed dramatically and pulled out his ticket, handing it to the T.C.As the T.C. moved on, Heera couldn't resist a jab. "Looks like even the T.C. knows better than to trust your word."Revanth rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. He was just doing hi

Revanth suddenly remembered something and jumped down, snatching his bag. Heera looked at him, bewildered. "What's wrong with you?""Ahh! My leg!" he exclaimed, acting as if he was in pain."Are you okay?" she asked, concerned."Yes! I mean, no!" he replied, wincing.She helped him sit down, checking his foot to see if it was hurt. She applied some balm, her touch gentle and caring.Revanth suppressed a laugh, recalling the gift he had brought for her. His antics were part of his plan."Are you okay now?" she asked, looking up at him with worry.He nodded, trying to maintain his act. "Yes, thanks to you.""Be careful next time," she said, her tone softening.Heera went back to her seat, and Revanth rummaged through his bag. He pulled out a small, neatly wrapped package. Approaching her, he extended the gift towards her."What’s this?" she asked, surprised."A peace offering," he said with a genuine smile. "I brought it for you."She took the gift, unwrapping it carefully. Inside was
