Muina's POV
The nurse came to me
Nurse:who were you talking to?
Muina: nobody, let's go
Nurse: okay.
(I came back to the hospital.The hospital had become my second home.I got my cancer from my grandma.My parents died in an accident)
My uncle was the one paying for my treatment but he lived abroad and wasn't allowed entry into the country to come visit me.
We always video called.I sat in my bed , obviously lonely.I began to read the books my uncle always sent me.
I was a huge lover of books.That night after praying I got a text from farouk.I couldn't help but smile.We texted each other's for hours until the nurse had to take my phone away.
We texted each other for weeks and it seemed like we were falling inlove.I didn't tell him about my condition
I always made up an excuse not to meet up , this was due to the doctors saying I needed to be indoors for monitoring.
I had cancer and now it had spread all over my lungs.I had little time on Earth.3 years is my estimated survival rate.
I have got nothing left to live for.Finally the doctors allowed me to go out.I decided to meet up with farouk and tell him the truth about my condition.
We met up at the park,the nurse went to sit on the other side.
Farouk:why do you have a nurse with you? Are you alright?
Muina: I need to tell you something, please sit(we sat)
Farouk: I hope you are well(he said worriedly)
Muina:am not well,I have cancer(he froze) it has spread to my lungs and it's still spreading.The doctors say I might not make it to even three years.
(He was speechless)
Muina: I understand if you don't want to see me again.(I got up and left)
