Hey, I'm Min Amreen. I'm turning 21 today. I have a party lined up tonight for which I'm getting ready. My mom is getting me ready.

" And you are done. " my mom said after she tied my hair. I looked myself in the mirror.

" Beautiful

" Beautiful. " my mom said.

" Mom can I remove this oxygen tube? " I asked mom.

" No. Doctor said its risky. " Sara said. She is my nurse. Wanna know why?

When I was 12 years old I got to know I have CF. Cystic fibrosis. It is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, pancreas, liver and some other organs on the body. This is an incurable disease. When this disease was diagnosed I was too small to understand. But as I was growing I got to know the only way to end this is death. Let's come back to today.

" You heard it? You can't remove it. " mom said sternly.

" Mom it's my birthday. This makes me look ugly. " I said.

" Nothing can come in between your beauty. Do you know till now boys are dying to be with you? " mom said.

" Of course. Because they don't know... I'm dying. " I said avoiding eye contact with my mom.

" Don't say that again. " mom warned me almost teary eyed.

" That's not going to change the fact. But for you I'll not say this again. I'll try. " I said. That's when mom got a call. She went aside to take the call. Sara gave me a weak smile. I smiled back. Mom came back.

" Your dad and jimin is waiting outside. Let's go. " Mom said. I nodded and bid goodbye to Sara. Then we left.

After we came out of the house dad and jimin were waiting in their tuxedo. Both looking very handsome. Park jimin is my best friend from high school. He also has the same disease I have. Cystic fibrosis. He was diagnosed before me. He is 1 year older than me. He's 22. But the fact is that I have never touched him nor hugged him. It's the rule. Two CF patients should maintain a distance of six feet. Because the bacteria can affect the patients and that can be lifetaking. That's very dangerous.

" Hello handsomes. " I greeted them.

" Hello beautifuls. " dad and jimin greeted back.

" Okay Amreen I'll go in my car. " jimin said.

" Be careful. " I said.

" I'm going to pick my friends. I have got the driver. Don't worry. " jimin said.

" Your friends? " I asked.

" Yeah. They were also invited because their dad's are business man's. They are very cool. You'd love to meet them. " jimin said.

" Okay. Are they normal? " I asked.

" Yes. I can be with them. " jimin said. I nodded. Jimin entered in his car.
