She noticed him as he was crossing the road, Felix by his side. She was so happy when she saw him she started laughing, covering her mouth with both her hands. He arrived on her side of the street and they were only a few meters apart. Kala then stopped moving, stopped breathing. She was paralysed, her gaze fixed on him. Now he stood in front of her, his hand under her chin to made her look him in the eye. The moment Wolfgang's fingers touched Kala's face, they both felt as if they were going to explode. Every inch of their skin had become a hundred times more sensitive. They felt as if they were in space or in the deep blue sea, lost and out of breath. No word could possibly describe what was happening They felt complete, like they were two parts of the same body, of the same soul, now finally whole again.

Wolfgang wrapped his arms around Kala and held her against him, her feet no longer touching the ground. She hid her face in his neck and breathed the smell of mint. While they held each other, the feelings that had previously submerged and overwhelmed them were gone. Kala could feel goosebumps rising on every inch of her body. She was so filled with these feelings she could hardly breathe. It was just the best feeling they had ever experienced. After a few seconds, he put her down and they both took a step back so they could look at each other. The man's left hand laying, as before, in her soft black hair.

Felix discovered a new version of Wolfgang as he witnessed the scene.. When Wolfgang was with this indian girl he was nicer, calmer, more tender, more caring. He seemed happier. Kala and Wolfgang had been starting at each other for a few seconds when Felix interrupted, separated them.

"Well that was intense huh? If you're still here on planet earth, may I introduce myself," he started, in a nearly perfect English, addressing Kala "My name is Felix and I'm Wolfy's friend since we were about eight," he added, making Kala laugh.

"I know you!" She replied with a large smile "Wolfy told me a lot of things about you didn't you Wolfy?" Sh insisted on Wolfgang's nickname.

"Sometimes I hate you man!" Wolfgang told Felix before gently hitting the back of his friend's head

"Outch!" He screamed dramatically "Is something wrong Wolfy?" he said innocently as Kala couldn't help but giggle

"Wolfy?" Kala was now laughing out loud

"If you don't stop right now I'll tell her about Anastasia or should I say Frank! What about that?"

"That's not fair man! If you say a single word I'll kill you bare handed!" Felix threatened his friend but he couldn't hide his smile

"Actually I've never heard of either of those people but now I'm curious," Kala said as Felix sighed "you'll have to tell me."

"Well, if you really want to know, Felix met this g..." Wolfgang started

He was interrupted by his best friend who had just jumped on his back and now had both hands over his mouth to be sure he wouldn't say another word. Kala watched them fight for a few minutes, sat on her car a huge smile pasted on her candid face. When Wolfgang managed to put Felix on the floor she decided it was time for them to move.

"Come on guys," she said "you must have had a tiring trip, let's go find you a hotel,"

As they were putting there luggages in the car, Wolfgang couldn't take his eyes off Kala. She was there in front of him; she looked brighter, prettier and lovelier than when they used to visit each other. He only stopped gazing at her when she caught him staring at her lips, and looked down embarrassed.

In the car they let Felix do the talking. He was, indeed, very good at it. In just 15 minutes he shamed Wolfgang for the rest of his life, telling every embarrassing things about his best friend that to keep Kala laughing. She learned he had once, at age twelve, bet he could French kiss a dog and done it to preserve his "honour".

"And it wasn't just a regular dog," Felix said "It was the ugliest, smelliest dog I had ever seen," Kala was amused yet also disgusted.

Next she learned that, the previous year, Wolfgang had gotten so drunk one night that he had tried, and succeeded, as the fantastic thieve he was, to break into his neighbour's apartment, being too drunk at the time to realize that the apartment wasn't his. The neighbour had heard a noise and called the police, totally freaked out, before finding a naked Wolfgang snoring on his couch.

When Felix paused for breath, Wlfgang got revenge by telling Kala everything about Anastasia alias Frank who was a twenty years old girl Felix had met on a website when he was twenty three and whom he couldn't stop bragging about, telling his friends he was a "serial lover". But that was until the day he finally met the so called Anastasia who was, in fact, Frank, a forty-four years old man with an enormous belly. Since this day, all the friends he had annoyed with his Anastasia constantly reminded him this horrible mistake he made looking for a girl on the Internet.

"But I still thing you would have made a beautiful couple!" Wolfgang joked "Hey!" He then screamed as Felix kicked the back of his seat. And they were all laughing again, like old friends.

Hearing all these stories, and even if she knew there was no reason to, Kala felt a bit embarrassed and, most of all, very inexperienced. She had never been to a club; she had never met anyone by the Internet; she had never made love. It wasn't part of her culture. Where she lived young people, especially young girls, didn't dance, didn't drink and didn't make out. It was quite a conservative place where many people still practiced the tradition of arranged marriages.

Now she was thinking about this she started to panic. How would her parents react? They had been pretty comprehensive when she had cancelled her wedding but their tolerance had limits. What would they think of Wolfgang and Felix? What would she say if they asked where she met them? She didn't want to lie to them but she doubted they would believe the truth. Seriously, who, apart from Felix, would believe someone who claimed he could see, talk to, and touch people all around the world.

When she turned to glance at Wolfgang on the passenger's seat, he was staring at her with a worried look.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Only then she realised she was so lost in her thought she had forgotten to pay attention to the people in the car with her.

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry," she replied, trying to smile "I was just wondering how I would introduce you to my parents. Because they are, you know, ...quite protective,"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way," he answered with a reassuring tone "Let's just say we're two lost German tourists you helped finding a hotel,"

"And let's say you offered to show us around while we're here," Felix added from the back of the car


fefwfecssc"And in case you don't feel like lying, Lito's very good at it, he helped me before," Wolfgang concluded, smiling at the memory.

"That isn't going to work," Kala said "Two men I just met in the street? Seriously? You could be thieves, rapers, even murderers. At least that's what my dad will think," she paused then added "I have absolutely no idea."

"I know!" Nomi shouted from the back of the car where she had appeared next to Felix "You could say you met by the Internet a while ago and you've become good friends. And when Wolfgang decided to visit India, he wanted to finally meet you and he asked you to show him around,"

"Sounds like plan!" Kala said relieved "we're pen pals!"

"What sounds like a plan?" Felix asked, lost "Oh, wait...one of the others is here right now?"

"Yes, Nomi's here with us," Wolfgang confirmed.

"Wait, you've told him? That's great!" Nomi said, smiling at Felix who could obviously not smile back.

"You were right, it is much easier now!" Wolfgang told Nomi "Not talking to you stupid," he then said to Felix he'd seen frowning in the interior rear view mirror.

"Do not call me stupid!" Felix said before hitting Wolfgang.

"Stupid!" Wolfgang provoked him.

The two of them then started fighting under the consternate look of Nomi.

"Is it always like that?" She asked Kala.

"It seems to be!" Kala replied. "I like it though, it is quite funny,"

"It is," Nomi agreed. "So now I'm going to leave you guys to it, good luck with your parents!"

"Thanks!" Kala answered, but Nomi was gone.

By the time they had left the highway, Wolfgang and Felix had calmed down and had returned to their civilised state.

"Please guys, don't fight like that in front of my parents!" Kala almost begged them. "And just... Please don't be too rude," she added.

"Do not worry dear, we know how to behave," Felix said with a posh tone which made Kala laugh. He was definitely one of the funniest men she had ever met.

After a few more minutes driving they arrived in front of a big building in a crowded street.

"Here we are!" Kala nearly shouted before glancing at the two men

Wolfgang and Felix were both amazed by what they saw. The sidewalks were full of people dressed in colourful fabrics. The buildings were extremely tall and the roads were so narrow and crowded it was a miracle they could drive through.

They arrived to what seemed to be a parking lot and after a few minutes minutes looking for a spot they were able to park.

As they walked through the crowd, Kala and Wolfgang explained the idea Nomi had given them to Felix and Kala warned the two men her parents' English was very poor.

When they got into Kala's father's restaurant, she felt very nervous and she even considered running away. Wolfgang must have noticed her hesitation because he, only for a few seconds, put a reassuring warm hand on her shoulder and whispered a comforting "it's gonna be okay" so close to her ear it made her shiver. Her father's head then popped out of the kitchen to see the visitors and he smiled widely when he saw his daughter. His smile faded a little when he noticed she wasn't alone but with two male strangers. He then quickly got out of the kitchen, a spoon in the hand, and moved closer to his daughter.

"Who are these two men? Where do you know them from?"(*) He asked her in Indi so Felix couldn't understand. And, for Kala's dad, neither could Wolfgang but, as he was connected to Kala, he understood and spoke fluent Indi.

"Uh..."

She had forgotten everything they'd said in the car. It was absolutely impossible for her to lie to her father. Her dear father who was currently waiting for an answer she couldn't give him. She was starting to panic when she felt a presence by her side, suddenly, it was as if she wasn't in her body anymore. She couldn't control anything and just watched Lito telling her father the story Nomi had made up earlier. He told her dad she had met Wolfgang on the internet and had bonded very quickly with him. He insisted on thr fact that the German man was trustworthy, punctuating his talk with charming smiles only he could do. Mid speech, he briefly turned at Kala and winked at her before getting back to the story. When she saw her father's face soften, she knew they had won. She mentally thanked Lito and Nomi and was back in front of her dad, in her body. Her dad who was now shaking Wolfgang's hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr Dandekar," Wolfgang told Kala's father. "I am Wolfgang,"

"Nice to meet you too, son,"he replied with a strong accent. He then turned to Felix and shook his hand as well.

"Nice so meet you sir, I'm Felix,"

"Nice to meet you Felix," he replied before turning to his daughter and talking to her in Hindi again. "How come you never told us about that Wolfgang?"

"I didn't want you to be mad at me for making friends on the Internet," Kala replied. It wasn't a proper lie, if she had actually met people on the Internet she would not have told her parents right away, knowing they would have been scared. "But I am really glad you're meeting him now because he has become a very dear friend of mine," She added, glancing at Wolfgang, who was now waiting next to the restaurant's door with Felix,with a soft smile. And this wasn't a proper lie either, even thought she was aware what she shared with Wolfgang was way beyond friendship.

"I wouldn't have been angry Kala dear. I am very happy for you. They seem to be really nice," Kala's dad said. "And where are they going to sleep?"

"They didn't know what hotel to choose so I told them about Shandi's and they decided to go there. Actually I'm going to show them where it is now so they can settle in,"

"Great! Tell them your mother and I would be very pleased if they had dinner with us,"

"I will,"

"And Kala?"

"Yes?"

"I love you"

"I love you too papa!" Kala replied, giving her father a quick hug.

She then turned around and, together with Felix and Wolfgang who had been waiting for her for the past five minutes, they left the restaurant. On their way to the hotel, Kala was ecstatic. She was so happy her dad had accepted to meet her friends but yet she was feeling guilty for having lied to him.

She was leading the way but she soon notice, the two others weren't following her anymore.

"Kala!" Felix shouted, panic in his voice

She turned around and noticed Wolfgang wasn't moving an inch. He looked like a statue. She instantly knew what had happened.

"He's okay she said, he's just... not here for now,"

"Oh...you mean he's with another one?" Felix said, relieved.

"Yes, exactly. We just have to wait for him to come back,"

"Does this mean he can't hear us nor see what we're doing? " When he asked that, Felix had a mischievous look, Kala knew that look. It was the same one he had every time he was going to attack Wolfgang or say something stupid.

"You're not going to do anything stupid are you? "

"Have you got a marker?"
