Ariel lays on the bed as she felt exhausted after 18 hour journey back to home . Ariel notices a clump of hair on her pillow . Ariel gets horrified , she runs to the bathroom . She looks into the mirror and sees a bald portion near her hair line, the after effects of 2 weeks of chemo are finally showing up.

Terrified Ariel brushed her hand through her hair and another  bunch of hair came out in her hand . For two seconds Ariel blankly stared at her fallen hair then a realisation hit her . As a result, Ariel shrieked loudly and wailed . Alice and Rayan came in , they saw Ariel crying helplessly holding the  bundle of fallen hair in her fist .

Alice hugged Ariel while Rayan patted Ariel's back to soothe her . Now Ariel was a crying mess , her face and eyes swollen due to excessive crying . Rayan carefully picked up Ariel from the floor and placed her on the bed . Ariel soon closed her eyes and slept beside her mother .

Alice looked at the pale face and fallen hair of Ariel , a lone tear escaped Alice's eyes as she realised that  she is loosing her only  daughter bit by bit . Rayan sat there staring at Ariel's face .

Alice 's P.O.V starts....

My angel loved her hair so much . My poor baby is just so broken now .God give her strength to stay strong . It breaks my heart into million pieces when I see my angel daughter crying in pain and agony , God fill my daughter's heart with peace and happiness . Give us courage to get through this . Show us the light of positivity , guide us in this difficult phase . Reduce my daughter's sufferings and give her peace from within .

Alice's P.O.V ends...

Rayan's P.O.V starts...

My baby sister , I know how much pain you are going through , I can't make your pain go away . But as your big brother I will ensure that you smile even in pain , I will do anything to make you happy. Seeing you cry jolts me to the core when I realise that you will go , leaving us alone . I can't reduce your trauma and pain but I will be by your side no matter how difficult it is and I will still  give you my shoulder to cry on . Sissy your bro will  replace your  pain with joy.

Rayan's P.O.V ends....

It's dinner time , Daniel is just so remorse hearing about Alice's hair loss . The pain of losing his daughter is making his  soul cry although he is showing himself strong from outside and be the man of the house .

Everyone's appetite to eat dinner  is gone away . The food lays on the table but nobody eats even a spoon from it . Rayan tries to make his parents eat something but they refuse . Finally, Rayan brings down Ariel .

Ariel urges their parents to eat the dinner . Rayan feeds Ariel while Daniel and Alice too eat their  dinner . Then Rayan brings  back Ariel to her room. Ariel speaks up  abruptly, " Bro thanks for feeding me today ". Rayan replies," Anything for you sissy , when you were small you use to puke your baby food on me , seeing my annoyed face you then used to giggle and mock me . You were so notorious as an infant and also as a kid" .

Ariel laughs listening to her brother then Ariel speaks again , " Bro each corner of this house has memories of me and you together , I can't imagine how hard will it be for you all to cope up when I will be gone , I feel guilty when I see you all worrying and crying for me ".

Rayan replies , " Sissy it's not fault , don't  blame yourself and your fate or anything that sort of . I know it is hard on each one of us but remember memories don't live in places but memories reside in hearts .You will live in our hearts with good old and new memories ". Ariel smiled in response .

Rayan then teasingly said , " Sissy you won't look that bad with a bald head because I have seen you bald as a baby and seriously bald head suits you ". Ariel's smiled disappeared and she knitted her brows in annoyance and then  she just smashed the pillow on Rayan's face with all of her strength .
