Part One:
In this part, Suhana is 14 and Sanju is 12
It was raining, young Suhana was looking out the window, deep in thought. She watched as the rain fell on the window, leaving streaks. She sighed, "This is so boring" she thought. Her mom and dad had gone to the doctor because of the constant headaches her mother had been getting. So her neighbor was asked to babysit them, unfortunately she was trying unsuccessfully to get Sanju to eat. Suhana looked at them, Sanju had crossed her arms and was saying that she wanted their parents to come home soon. Suhana smiled, she loved how her younger sister could get stubborn sometimes. Her thoughts were interrupted by the front door ringing. "Their home!" squealed Sanju as she headed for the door. The neighbor sighed and helped Sanju open the door. Suhana would never forget the look on her mother's face when she came in, "She never looked this upset" she thought. Sanju completely missed this and hugged their parents, "Mommy, Auntie is so mean! She said I had to eat without you! How could I do that? I love eating with you!" Suhana watched as her mother wiped rain off her eyes. "That's funny, didn't they take an umbrella?" she thought as she came closer to see. To her surprise her mother showed evidence of crying. She decided to mention it after the neighbor left. Her father talked quietly with her neighbor, who looked shocked about something. Then she did the strangest thing, she patted Suhana and Sanju's head, a action she never did until now. The neighbor hugged her mother and left. "Kids, I want you to come here" her father said after a few minutes. Suhana took the chance to ask her question "Dad, why is Mom crying?" Sanju was susprised, "She's crying?" she questioned. Her parents looked at their children sadly, then Suhana watched cleared her throat, "I have to go to the hospital more" she said. "Why?" Sanju asked worriedly. "Are you sick?" "Yes, I am you see my brain is sick, so I have to see a special doctor....called an oncologist." "Mom....." Suhana began. Her mother looked her children in their eyes and said,
"I have a brain tumor"
