I rushed home from the restaurant and carefully opened the door, I knew that Ariane was probably asleep. However, when I saw the empty dining table and the quiet living room, worry clouded my mind. My gaze was directed to the bedroom where the lights were still on. I found Ariane lying on the bed, closing her eyes with a frown on her forehead, holding back her discomfort."Ariane, are you okay?" I called softly as I approached the bed.Ariane opened her eyes slowly. Her face was pale. She tried to smile reassuringly, but none of them were fooled. "Just still a little dizzy, Mark. Maybe because I've been too tired lately."I knew Ariane too well to believe those light words. Lately, Ariane had been visiting her flower shop less often. The small business she had pioneered with great enthusiasm seemed to be a burden as her health condition slowly declined without me realizing it."Ariane, let's go to the hospital!" I said firmly.

Mark's POV I explained to my twin daughters Zara and Zoya.“There are several steps we need to do, honey,” I replied with a smile. “First, we need to prepare all the ingredients for this chocolate cake. Have you seen the recipe?”Zara nodded and opened the recipe book on the table. “We need flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate, right?” she asked excitedly.“That’s right! Besides that, we also need baking powder and a little salt. Let’s get everything from the kitchen,” I said, inviting Zara and Zoya to help.After all the ingredients were gathered on the table, Dad continued, “The second step is to melt the chocolate. We can do it using a double boiler or in the microwave. Zara, do you want to melt the chocolate?”Zara hurriedly took the chocolate bar and cut it into small pieces. “Yes, Papa! I want to!” She was very enthusiastic.Meanwhile, Zoya had arranged the other ingredients. “I will prepare the flour and sugar,”

Ariane’s POVDays passed, and my headaches did not get better, but became more unbearable. Every second felt like the roar of waves crashing against a cliff, demanding attention and pain that never subsided. I knew something was wrong. However, I tried not to burden Mark, my husband, with my worries. He was already busy enough with his work, and I did not want to add to his burden. One day, while Mark was at work, I decided to go to the hospital myself. With steady steps even though my heart was shaking, I drove to the nearest hospital. After registering, I explained to the doctor about the complaints I was feeling. In a calm tone, the doctor asked me to undergo a series of examinations. After waiting for several hours, the results of the examination came out. How shocked I was when the doctor said that I had stage one brain cancer. Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, the world seemed to stop spinning. All the hopes and dreams that I had built w

It all feels so scary and confusing," I continued, my voice barely audible.Mark looked at me with empathy, as if he could feel the weight that was weighing on my shoulders. "Ariane, I know this is hard. But remember, you're not alone. We'll get through this together," he said, trying to provide some relief amidst my anxiety.I paused for a moment, trying to process everything I had just said. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders, replaced by a deep sadness."I'm scared, Mark. Scared of this whole process, and what would happen if…" my voice began to sound hoarse.Mark nodded, understanding my hesitation. "It's normal to feel afraid, Ariane. Everyone who's faced a situation like this feels it. But we can find ways to deal with it," he said calmly. "There's a lot of support out there

Ariane’s POVI nod, remembering the beautiful moments when they were babies. "Yes, and now they can run and play by themselves. It feels like time has flown by so quickly," I reply, trying to hold back the tears that are starting to pool in my eyes. Mark takes my hand, giving me the support I always need. "We will get through this together. I know it's hard, but you are not alone. We have Zara and Zoya, and they need you." Mark's words always strengthened me. Even though I felt tired and depressed by this disease, seeing my daughters' smiles gave me the spirit to keep fighting. We arrived at the park, and Zara and Zoya immediately ran to the swings. They laughed happily, and I couldn't help but smile at their happiness."Let's play together!" Zoya shouted, inviting us to join. Mark and I looked at each other, then we followed them.

He took my hand, holding it tightly. "We will find a way to be happy, no matter what.”I felt a little more at ease with his words. Although fear still gripped my heart, a glimmer of hope began to grow. "But what if I can't do it?" I asked again, voice still shaking. Mark smiled softly. "Let's not think about all that right now. Let's just focus on today. We can watch a movie, or maybe you can read me your favorite book. We'll find a way to laugh, even if it's just for a moment." I nodded, feeling the warmth of his embrace. "Okay, let's do that," I said, trying to take my mind off of everything that was scary. "But I want you by my side." "Always," he replied, and we both got up from our seats, heading to the couch in the corner of the room. That night, we spent
