Where Love Waited Treated

Treated

Meher squinted like she was making a mental note.

Young Meher

Hmm. Do you want to walk properly or not?

Aarav blinked.

Young Aarav

W-What?

Young Meher

Because I can help,

She declared.

Young Meher

Main tumhe chalaana sikhaungi.

Aarav looked at her then , really looked.

This loud little stranger with chipped nails and fearless eyes…

Promising something even doctors couldn’t. He almost laughed. Almost.

But Meher wasn’t joking.

And that’s how it began.

By evening, she had brought him marbles, a skipping rope, and two pieces of mango candy

Young Meher

For motivation

She said.

By the next week, she was dragging him out every morning at 6 AM for walk practice in their street.

Aarav resisted at first. Then gave in.

Then started to look forward to it.

Her voice was louder than the pain in his legs. Her laughter distracted him from his fear of falling.

Her relentless scolding pushed him harder than any physical therapist ever had.

And slowly, step by painful step… Aarav began to walk better.

Then faster. Then without the brace.

One morning, he stood still at the gate of their lane, no crutch, no support, no trembling.

Meher stood beside him, arms folded, pretending not to tear up.

Young Meher

I told you na. You owe me big time.

He nodded.

Young Aarav

I’ll repay you someday,

He whispered.

She smirked.

Young Meher

You better.

They became inseparable. They shared tiffins, raincoats, comic books, and secrets.

Aarav began to laugh again. Meher began to dream about planes.

She was obsessed with the Air Force.

She said she'd marry a fighter pilot someday. Aarav never said anything.

But he knew then, he wanted to be that man.

Not just to fly planes…

But to stand beside Meher. Proud. Strong. Worthy of her dream.
