Girl meets boy

He was a young boy with brown hair and a dazzling smile. He scuttered around in the kitchen preparing the lunch for about 40 people. 'La la la, di da da da da...' He hummed along in an upbeat mood and his enthusiasm was contagious.

The girl who was with him, his assistant, received instructions from him to cut the cabbage, peel the potatoes and at other times, just following the young man around the kitchen to see what he was up to. He taught her about the nutritions in each food that he was about to prepare. He even knows the difference between cow's milk and goat's milk.

'I studied to be a nutritionist,' he revealed.

'Such a cool guy,' the girl thought in awe. A nutritionist who plays the guitar in recording studios as a profession. 

When he had a minute to spare, they would chat a bit.

'I'll be leaving tomorrow,' he said.

'Where will you be going to?'

'I'll be going back to my country,' he continued somewhat with pride ,'I come from Israel.'

'Oh!' the girl exclaimed in realisation, then continued with disappointment ,'I could never visit you in your country.'

The boy's expression changed a little,' Why is that so?'

'It said there in my passport. It is valid to travel to any country except Israel.'

'Maybe we could meet somewhere else?' he suggested.

'Maybe you could come and visit me in Malaysia!' the girl suggested innocently.

'Well. They don't allow you to come to my country. Do you think they would ever allow me to enter your country?' the boy replied, somewhat passionately.

'I guess we would have to meet somewhere in between,' she joked, not realising that it was going to be their first and last two days together. The friendship created an impression to last for a lifetime.
