Episode 19: "Love's Strength" (Ishan's POV)
Months passed, and therapy helped me confront my demons. Shubman's unwavering support made the journey less daunting. Dr. Patel's guidance illuminated the path to healing.
One session stood out.
"Ishan, you're doing amazingly well," Dr. Patel said, her smile warm. "Your progress is remarkable."
Shubman, seated beside me, beamed with pride.
"I knew you could do it," Shubman said, squeezing my hand.
I smiled, feeling empowered.
"Shubman's support has been instrumental," I said.
Dr. Patel nodded.
"Love can be a powerful catalyst for healing," Dr. Patel agreed.
Shubman's love had become my anchor.
At home, Shubman helped me practice coping mechanisms.
"Breathing exercises, remember?" Shubman reminded.
Together, we navigated triggers.
Shubman's cricket schedule demanded travel.
But even apart, our bond remained strong.
Video calls bridged the distance.
"I miss you," Shubman said.
"Miss you too," I replied.
Reuniting felt like homecoming.
As I continued therapy, Shubman's encouragement fueled my growth.
"Ishan, you're stronger than you think," Shubman said.
I began to believe.
