Kate's P.O.V ends....
As Ariel's friends leave for home Aiden notices that Ariel is a bit lost . He understands that Ariel is feeling emptiness after saying good bye to her friends . Aiden sits beside Ariel and he speaks out ," Hey Ariel what is the one thing that you regret about your life?". Ariel thought deeply for a few minutes then she spoke out , " I regret not living my life to the fullest , I mean I was just living my life just for the sake of living it without any zeal about it until the tumor tremor came in my life and then I realised how important it is to cherish life because indeed the length of life is uncertain. If your life is cut short all of a sudden then you will feel regret for not embracing life fully ".
Aiden nodded in agreement and then Aiden said , " Ariel your idea of making a wish list and fulfilling it will at least remove your regret because now you are living your life to the fullest even in the last days of your life and this is what matters the most". Ariel smiled briefly in response .
Aiden then asked softly," What's your next wish Ariel ?" . Ariel replied beamingly," To see the colours of life !". Aiden got confused and he asked ," Colour of life , what do you mean ? Where can be the colours of life seen ? Life is an abstract word right, then how can we find and see colours of life ?". Ariel replied ," You can definitely see colours of life . You can see colour of life in a rainbow because a rainbow is made due to refraction of water and light . Water and light are the elements of life .Therefore , rainbow is a source of life and colours of rainbow can be interpreted as colours of life ".
Aiden looked at Ariel amusingly then he said," Ariel you are a deep thinker , I never thought about rainbow in this way . Ariel you have a splendid look towards life . Life of colours are hidden in the rainbow magically ".
At twilight someone woke up Ariel swiftly . Ariel wakes up and see Aiden looking at her intently . Ariel rubs her eyes and she looks out of the window and she sees the dark sky . Ariel says,"Hey it is night!Why are you disturbing my sleep Aiden , you want me to sing a lullaby for you to make you sleep like a baby ?". Aiden laughed hearing Ariel's sarcastic reply and he said ," Look my company is making you much more hilarious and has improved your comic timing ".
Ariel smirked in response . Aiden then pointed outside the window and he said," Look it is raining and the sun is about to rise". Ariel looked out of the window. Rain drops were gently pitter patting against the window glass . Ariel with the help of Aiden opened the window. Ariel then felt the raindrops on her palm .
At this very instant , the sun rose from the east making the gentle raindrops shine . As the raindrop glistened with sunrays , a beautiful rainbow enchanted the sky. Ariel gasped seeing the magnificent rainbow with the ravishing red , incredible indigo , yearning yellow ,gorgeous green , breathtaking blue and outstanding orange .
Ariel exclaimed ," God this is beautiful , colours of life , the colours of rainbow are marvelous! Aiden you fulfilled my fifth wish, Thank you so much Aiden !".
Aiden replied ,"Anything for you Ariel, you are my buddy , you my partner ....my partner in cancer , my last comrade , I will do anything to make you happy". Ariel hugged Aiden tightly ,meanwhile the sun rose higher making the sky glow with golden hues . Two teens are communicating the gratitude of friendship through a warm embrace ,an embrace which has emotions of gain and loss along with happiness shared together and a hug which shares pain .
The golden hue of the sky fell on both Ariel and Aiden , both looked at the sunrise . 39 days left , Ariel whispered which Aiden heard . He as a response side hugged Ariel and said ," Every human should live his each day of life as his last day by embracing life's small beautiful moments , seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets, glowing stars , magnificent rainbow because living life to the fullest is the ultimate chant for spending life happily and to make peace with approaching death".
