• True Bond   Speechless

  Together with her mother, Janna stood in front of Grandpa Wilhelm's sickbed. It had been three days since the surprising stroke, but it was the first time they came to see him. Grandma Gerda had asked in the neighborhood to let a few days pass and to refrain from visiting until her husband was feeling a little better. Nevertheless, Janna was deeply shocked by the poor condition in which Grandpa Wilhelm found himself. The left half of his face was still hanging uncontrollably and the corner of his mouth twisted downwards, distorting it. His swollen arm, unable to move, was raised on a pillow. He tried hard to stay awake, but kept falling asleep and could hardly speak. If he succeeded in a word, it sounded throaty and it took some effort to understand. Like a mother hen, Grandma Gerda scurried anxiously around her beloved husband, to make it as comfortable as possible for him to wipe the sweat from his forehead or to moisten his dry lips with a wet stick. No matter how,

  Janna was angry. And that was a state in which she shouldn't be underestimated, Eike knew that too. As her brother, he had provoked her several times until she was finally as angry as she was at this moment. He could easily tell by her flushed cheeks and fluttering nostrils. Waiting, he looked at his sister. It had been so clear that she would react this way and he had been looking forward to her coming home for the last few minutes and then teasing her with her new nickname. Good job, Jo, he thought and grinned."When did you talk to him?" She asked tightly and he knew exactly who she was talking about."Hm, who do you mean?" He said hypocritically.He took a sip from his glass and ignored her fixed gaze."I mean Jo, who else? T," she squeezed out angrily. He loved to tease her like that. It was just too fun."Oh, he ..." said Eike drawn out. "Jo called ten minutes ago and told me about your little encounter." She snorted. "But why didn't you tell

  Janna frantically brushed her hair back and tried to concentrate on the order of the customer in front of her. It was late afternoon and the line of customers in front of her didn't seem to want to end. Again and again new people came into the coffee shop, so that, as usual at this time, they queued up to the door. Today she was assigned to the cash register and Jan, her gaunt colleague, prepared the drinks. He was uncomfortable to work with as he always teased her with loud sayings that everyone in the room could hear. Her bright red hair bit itself mercilessly with the dark red of the uniform and the green apron, which caused him to call her "the blob of paint" with an intentionally squeaky voice. He was happy to transform this original word into different variations. Like right now: “Hey, blob, watch out. The customer is already placing his order for the third time. "Normally she hated it when Jan tried to boss aro

  Janna ...His thoughts lingered on her.Thoughtfully, he reached for the tobacco pack lying on the table, opened it and took a fine piece of paper between his fingers to fill it with tobacco. He practically turned the structure into a cigarette, then lit his metal lighter and made the cigarette glow with a deep breath while he listened to the soothing crackle. From some distance a familiar double gong of the church bells could be heard, telling him the time. Presumably all the residents of the small suburb were in a blissful sleep, after all it was the middle of the week and only he was kept awake by the inevitable jet leg. He took another drag on his cigarette and tried to imagine the architecture of the small local church.But it just didn't help, Janna's fine face pushed into his thoughts again. Sometimes

  was a starry night and only the crescent moon was white in the dark sky. Although the view into infinity looks almost the same from anywhere in the world, this perspective had a familiar note and filled him with the confident feeling of being home again. The black contours of the surrounding trees stretched up familiarly and it seemed to him as if nothing in his home had changed and yet everything was somehow different.A few minutes ago the last light that had fallen from his grandparents' bedroom window onto the terrace had gone out and now his immediate surroundings also enclosed him in a soothing darkness. Jo leaned back relaxed on the old wooden garden chair and smiled as he thought of the two old people who were tired but who had fought bravely against their feet. It had been obvious that they were really happy to see him again and that they wanted to enjoy the newly gained time with him as long as possible at al

  Come on, Janna. It was just a little joke ”, Jo's soothing voice fluted behind her back. He hurried to her side, put his arm loosely on her shoulder and dangled his hand in front of her chest as he drove on forgivingly."I like it. The color looks really good on you. Goes well with your complexion. "For a brief moment he looked directly into Janna's brown eyes and smiled at her. He was obviously serious." Besides, Jo likes carrots, "her brother teased. Janna rolled her eyes annoyed , she had to but also laugh along."Eike is right. I've always been particularly fond of carrots," said Jo with a laughing voice and added a short: "Honestly". She looked at him a little overwhelmed by his proximity. nice to have you back. I missed you so much ".He smiled lovingly at her, but then quickly looked away and took his arm from her shoulder. Much too early for her taste, as Janna had to admit. She could do not put it in concrete terms, let alone descr
