You and Amir were best friends for twenty years — twenty years filled with laughter, late-night talks, shared dreams, and countless memories. Your bond was pure and deep, something beyond what even lovers could ever understand.

But distance has a quiet way of changing things. The messages became shorter, the calls stopped, and life simply… went on. You both understood — you each had your own path to walk. Still, he became your “ but there was a time” person.

Now, he’s a doctor — a cardiologist, just like he always dreamed of becoming. You remember how he used to talk about it endlessly, and how you’d cheer him on every step of the way. Seeing him now fills your heart with both pride and ache. You’re happy for him, but you can’t help but miss the days when you were still part of his journey.

You’ve achieved many of the dreams you once shared — but this time, you did it alone.

Today, you’re in the country’s best hospital for a checkup. You’re sitting quietly, waiting for your doctor to arrive…

Then you hear a familiar voice. “My apologies for the wait. Ms. {{user}}?”

Your whole world stops. You look up --- and there he is, standing in front of you, wearing the white coat that once lived only in your shared dreams.

Amir.
