They will date again! On his way back home, still happy about the date, it comes to his mind that he still has to do something&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Kapitel 13<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Max schaut auf seine\u00a0Armbanduhr. Es ist jetzt einundzwanzig Uhr. Wenn\u00a0er zuhause ankommt, wird es zweiundzwanzig Uhr sein. Eigentlich eine perfekte Zeit, da es ja dann dort Morgen ist. Mit einem L\u00e4cheln geht Max nach Hause. Die kalte Nacht f\u00fchlt sich pl\u00f6tzlich viel w\u00e4rmer an.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Als Max zuhause ankommt, ist es tats\u00e4chlich zweiundzwanzig Uhr. Er zieht seine Jacke aus und h\u00e4ngt sie\u00a0auf. Seine Schuhe stellt er unter den Kleiderst\u00e4nder. <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Er geht auf sein Zimmer und nimmt sein Handy aus seiner Hosentasche. Er\u00a0gibt\u00a0die neuseel\u00e4ndische Vorwahl ein und danach Olivers Nummer. Gut, dass er 60 Freiminuten f\u00fcr Neuseeland hat. Sonst w\u00e4re dieser Anruf s\u00fcndhaft teuer!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Er h\u00e4lt das Handy ans Ohr. Max h\u00f6rt ein\u00a0paar merkw\u00fcrdige Ger\u00e4usche, und dann den Signalton:\u00a0<\/em>tuuuut&#8230; tuuuut&#8230; tuuuut&#8230;<em>\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbHallo, hier ist Oliver\u00ab, h\u00f6rt er.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbHallo, Oliver!

Es ist hier Hochsommer, und es ist unglaublich warm. Ich kann ein wenig Abk\u00fchlung gebrauchen!\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbSurfen! Das muss echt toll sein. Ich habe heute Schlittschuh gelaufen!\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Oliver lacht.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbEs ist dort Winter, was?\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbJa! Ich habe mit Laura einen Gl\u00fchwein auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt getrunken.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbLaura? Wer ist das? Du hast noch nie von ihr erz\u00e4hlt.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDas stimmt! Laura ist n\u00e4mlich meine Mitstudentin, die ich erst letzte Woche begegnet bin.

Du willst nicht wissen, was mir heute noch so passiert ist.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbWas denn?\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbIch hatte heute Morgen einen Termin beim Augenarzt, und im Bus sa\u00df ein besonderer Mann. Er hatte einen rosafarbigen Regenschirm dabei. Und einen Hund. Ein Dalmatiner.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDas sieht man nicht oft\u2026\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbNein, das sieht man in der Tat nicht oft! Ich habe mit ihm gesprochen, und er war auf dem Weg zu einer Brustkrebsveranstaltung.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDas macht Sinn! Und wie war\u2019s beim Augenarzt?\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbIch habe einen Augentest gemacht f\u00fcr meinen F\u00fchrerschein. Und es stellte sich heraus dass meine Augen noch gut genug sind. Danach bin ich bei der Fahrschule vorbei gegangen um sofort die Bescheinigung abzugeben. Und schlie\u00dflich ging ich um zum Supermarkt um Zutaten f\u00fcr einen Kalten Hund zu besorgen. Kalter Hund ist Lauras Lieblingsspeise. Sie mochte ihn sehr gern!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Danach machten wir uns auf f\u00fcr einen Verdauungsspaziergang zum Weihnachtsmarkt, wo wir\u00a0Schlittschuh gelaufen und Gl\u00fchwein getrunken haben. Es war ein wunderbarer Tag!\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDas h\u00f6rt sich wirklich an wie ein wunderbarer Tag! Ich muss zugeben, ich bin ein bisschen neidisch\u2026\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDu kannst dich aber auch nicht beschweren, Oliver! Du wirst heute surfen!\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00bbDas stimmt! Gestern war aber nicht so ein sch\u00f6ner Tag. Es hat den ganzen Tag geregnet.\u00ab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Oliver erz\u00e4hlt weiter von seinem gestrigen Tag, aber Max wird abgelenkt von einem Gl\u00fccksgef\u00fchl das ihn durchstr\u00f6mt. Er hat den Augentest bestanden. Er hat einen Freund an der anderen Seite der Erde. Und er ist verliebt. Das Leben ist sch\u00f6n. Das Leben ist gut.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">THE TRANSLATION<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Max looks at his wristwatch. It is 9 PM now. When he arrives at home, it will be 10 PM. A perfect time, actually, as it is then morning over there. With a smile Max goes home. The cold night suddenly feel much warmer.<br \/>\nWhen Max arrives at home, it indeed is 10 PM. He takes off his jacket and hangs it up. He puts his shoes under the clothes hanger.<br \/>\nHe goes to his room and takes his phone out of his pocket. He enters the country code of New Zealand and then Oliver\u2019s number. It\u2019s good that he has 60 free minutes for New Zealand. Otherwise, this call would be outrageously expensive!<br \/>\nHe hold the phone to his ear. Max hears some strange noises, and then the signal tone: <em>tuuuut&#8230; tuuuut&#8230; tuuuut&#8230;\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n\u201cHi, here is Oliver\u201d, he hears.<br \/>\n\u201cHi Oliver! It\u2019s me, Max. I hope, I don\u2019t call you too early?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOh, hi max! Nice to hear from you. No, it is now 10 AM here. What time is it over there?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAlso 10. But PM! How are you?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m fine! I would like to go surfing today. It is midsummer here, and it is incredibly hot. I could use some cooling!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSurfing! That must be really nice. I went ice skating today!\u201d<br \/>\nOliver laughs.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is winter over there, hm?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYes! I drank <em>Gl\u00fchwein <\/em>with Laura today on the Christmas market.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cLaura? Who is that? You have never told me about her.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s true! It is because Laura is a fellow student of mine, that I met last week. We had a date today.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOoooh, Max! Great! And, how was it?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt was a lot of fun! We want to meet again next week!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNice! I hope, it will work out!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThanks! You don\u2019t want to know what else happened to me today.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhat?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThis morning, I had an appointment at the eye doctor\u2019s, and a peculiar man sat in the bus. He had a pink umbrella with him. And a dog. A Dalmatian.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat is a rare sight\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYes, it certainly is! I talked to him, and he was on his way to a breast cancer event.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat makes sense. And how was it at the eye doctor\u2019s?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI did a vision test for my driver\u2019s license. And it turned out that my eyes are still good enough. Afterwards, I went by the driving school to hand in the attestation right away. And finally, I went to the supermarket to get the ingredients for a hedgehog slice. Hedgehog slice is Laura\u2019s favorite dish. She liked it very much!<br \/>\nThen we set out for an after-dinner walk to the Christmas market, where went ice skating and drank <em>Gl\u00fchwein<\/em>. It was a wonderful day!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat really sounds like a wonderful day! I have to admit, I am a little envious\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut you cannot complain yourself, Oliver! You will go surfing today!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cTrue! Though yesterday was not such a beautiful day. It rained all day long.\u201d<br \/>\nOliver talks further about yesterday, but Max is distracted by a happiness that runs through him. He passed the eye test. He has a friend on the other side of the Earth. And he is in love. Life is beautiful. Life is good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">SOME WORDS TO KEEP IN MIND<\/span><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"height: 1051px;\" border=\"1\" width=\"687\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"100\" \/>\n<col width=\"100\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>die Armbanduhr<\/em><\/td>\n<td>wristwatch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>tats\u00e4chlich<\/em><\/td>\n<td>indeed, actually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>die Vorwahl<\/em><\/td>\n<td>country code, area code, dialing code<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>die Freiminute [Mobiltelefon]<\/em><\/td>\n<td>free minute [mobile phone]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>s\u00fcndhaft teuer<\/em><\/td>\n<td>outrageously expensive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>das Ger\u00e4usch<\/em><\/td>\n<td>sound, noise<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>der Hochsommer<\/em><\/td>\n<td>midsummer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>unglaublich<\/em><\/td>\n<td>incredibly,<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>die Abk\u00fchlung<\/em><\/td>\n<td>cooling down, cooling off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>erz\u00e4hlen<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to tell sth., to talk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>in der Tat<\/em><\/td>\n<td>indeed, certainly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Sinn machen<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to make sense<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Es stellt sich heraus&#8230;<\/em><\/td>\n<td>It turns out that\u2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>schlie\u00dflich<\/em><\/td>\n<td>finally<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>neidisch<\/em><\/td>\n<td>jealous, envious<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>der gestrige Tag (gestern)<\/em><\/td>\n<td>yesterday (yesterday)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>beschweren<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to complain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>ablenken<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to distract<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>durchstr\u00f6men<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to run through, to flow through<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>die Erde<\/em><\/td>\n<td>Earth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>verliebt sein<\/em><\/td>\n<td>to be in love, to be infatuated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Das Leben ist gut.<\/em><\/td>\n<td>Life is good.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading!<\/p>\n<p>Yours,<\/p>\n<p>Sten<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear readers, This is the last post of my short story &#8220;Zeit f\u00fcr eine Geschichte&#8221;.
