Part 01 - When fantasies became reality
Stephanie is a successful young woman of 25 years. She has set up a small well-functioning boutique. This is even so good that she can afford two employees. Which gives her the time to go to the gym three times a week and to the sunbed in winter. Her 70 kilos are well distributed on her 1.75m. She also has the figure and the look of a model. Her breast is not too small, but not too big. Just right to turn the head of men, she always says when she is addressed on her body and breasts laughing! Her appearance is rounded off by her blonde lion's mane, which extends to her shoulder blades. She is also engaged to Jürgen, whom she loves above all else. In 3 days she should finally become his wife. From day to day their excitement and anticipation increases, on this day that has been so longed for for weeks.
But she is especially happy that Bernd was able to set it up and that she is the best man. Yes, Bernd her sandbox love. To whom she had sworn then to marry him. The two had been inseparable until 4 years ago. They attended the same schools. Had the same circle of friends and you could always be sure that if one of them in the disco or on a party appeared the other was not far. That was probably the reason why none of their friends or even their families did not understand that the two had not really become a couple. But except a little smooch here and there, nothing had ever gone between the two. And the smooch was now already at least 6 or 7 years back. Mostly, they only happened when they had played truth or duty in the clique and had been more or less condemned to it.
The two have seen in the last 3 years at most 2 times (when it came up 3 times) a year. What Stephanie often sad, because she misses his friendship. His always crazy ideas with which he had baffled her or the clique and put them in the strangest situations. But his job simply did not allow them to see each other more often. Because Bernd works as a computer scientist on an oil rig in the Indian Gulf and of course he can not even look over so if he wants. Even this time he has to accept a lot, so that he can be her best man. He has to fly back directly two days after the wedding and then has to stay on the rig all the rest of the year. Which means that he will be away for 10 months.
This diminishes a little their joy over his coming. Because otherwise he could at least a second time this year to go home and see them. At the age of 17 he had had a well-trained and well-built body through his martial arts. He is a full 20 cm taller than you, which is why she always has to look up to him. He had jet black hair back then. What he will probably have now for a color, she thinks. Bernd often dyed his hair in recent years and chose a different color each time. He weighs just under 90 kilos and is also very well fitted in the right place, she remembers. Sweaty she must grin. That it is at the white she visits from the countless common sauna.
Stephanie is always wondering if he has changed or if he still looks so damn good. Bernd is really a very handsome man whom the girls used to run after in a row. What her partially even disturbed or disliked. At that time she had been afraid that one might crowd into her friendship. Or was it maybe another reason? Was she perhaps a little in love with him herself? Stephanie has no answer to these questions. She only knows that for two reasons she is the happiest woman in the world. These are her upcoming wedding with Jürgen and on the other hand the reunion with Bernd!
She looks at her watch and says in amazement, "What's so late"? "Is what Stephanie?" Asks Judith one of the shop assistants of her boutique. Stephanie attaches great importance to the fact that she has a friendly working atmosphere, which is why she offered Judith and Sophie the Du. "Only if I do not make my way quickly! You can do it here without me. I have to pick up my best man at the airport "! "Well then, leave your room with you, not that your wedding falls into the water because your best man did not want to wait any longer and flew back"! Stephanie laughs heartily and answers: "Thanks Judith, but you know Bernd badly. But he would think of something mean to give me a memo. As I know Bernd then something would happen during the wedding or the wedding and it should better not come to me! " "Is he such a scoundrel that he would spoil your most beautiful day"?
"He would not spoil him. But his pranks always have it! "Laughs Stephanie. She grabs her bag, which is in a compartment of the counter and sets off. "Then I hope for you that you arrive in time" calls Judith still afterwards. But Stephanie does not even get it right because the street noise is too loud. She gets into her car, starts the engine and gets into the traffic. If there are no unexpected incidents, it takes half an hour to get to the airport. Landing should Bernd's machine in 40 minutes. So it has a small time buffer. Her heart begins to beat small somersaults. The joy of Bernd is greater than she had admitted to herself.
Although the traffic is viscous, Stephanie is making good progress. She drives to the airport grounds and parks in one of the parking garages. She gets off the car quickly, goes to the lifts and heads upstairs. Just as fast she looks up one of the countless monitors, on which one can read at which terminal which plane arrives or when this landing should be, etc. "Damn too late, already landed 10 minutes ago! Well, maybe he's not through all the controls yet! " With fast steps she walks the way to the exit of the terminal. Once there, she sees that people are still coming through the doors. "Did you come from Tamile Nadu?" She calls a couple. "Yes, that's the machine" answers the man. Stephanie thanks and waits for Bernd to come out.
Since the doors are closed. This means that Bernd is either already running around in the airport or not in the machine. Stephanie turns around, the only thing she can do is call him out. On the way to the information desk she hears about the intercom of the airport. "Mrs. Stephanie Weiser is requested to report at the airport accident station! Mrs. Stephanie Weiser is requested to report at the airport accident station "! You drive the announcement like a shock in the limbs. "My God, nothing happened to him?" She thinks to herself. Still on the way to the information booth. Because she has to first describe the way. Thanking you then makes you on the way. With a beating heart she enters the emergency room and reports to one of the helpers. But this does not know that a Bernd Geiger would be treated here and also ask questions from colleagues bring nothing!
Confused, Stephanie turns around and leaves the emergency room. With her head bowed, she goes lost in thought towards the exit as she suddenly hears a familiar voice behind her. "Are you ill or why were you in the emergency room"? Stephanie turns around and stands in front of her grinning Bernd. "You stupid man, I was honestly worried!" She hisses Bernd and bangs her fists lightly against his chest. Bernd grabs her hands and pulls her to him. "Punishment must be, after all, I had to wait, too!" Stephanie frees her hands and hugs Bernd tightly. "I am so glad that you are there"! "Did I miss you"? She looks at him puzzled and answers: "There you have to ask after all these years and what we have already experienced together"? "Then you may marry the wrong one" is his answer and with a jargon he grins at her.
"Fool, even if it were, it would still make more sense, since you're almost always hiding on your stupid oil rig!" Bernd leaves the sentence uncommented, picks up his bag from the floor and the two make their way to the car. You reach this climb and go directly to Stefanies parents. Since these have a large house with many rooms and the wedding is supposed to take place there anyway, Stephanie without Bernd asked him to stay with her parents. However, Bernd has not assumed anything else, he has known the Weisers for so many years. The reunion pleasure is huge. Have her parents become something of his second parents over the years? How many times had he stayed here and how often had they said through the flower that they would like to see him as their son-in-law? However, Bernd is quite exhausted from the long flight and the associated jetlag and so he quickly says goodbye to rest a little.
Stephanie walks into the living room with her parents, while Bernd goes upstairs. "I think on Sunday we have to keep an eye on the maid of honor and bridesmaids," says Stephanie's father. "Why is that?" Stephanie does not understand the small hint with the fence post of her father. "I think what your dad wanted to say is that Bernd looks everytime he comes in and looks even better! And since he used to always have it easy ... "she leaves the sentence unfinished. "Rubbish Bernd knows how to behave" Stephanie tries to finish the topic directly. Nevertheless, she does not come around to agree with the two in thought. What makes you even more confused is the fact that it does not matter to you, but that the thought of it makes you even jealous. What should you say these thoughts? She loves Jürgen and wants to marry him too or had she been fooling herself for the last 4 years?
