Sunday
He had been preparing for it for days. No,
actually for months. Or better yet, for years. This big day when he would
make his entry into the big world and higher society.
At the age of 7, when his mother sent him to the
dumpster with a bag full of garbage, he put on his best shoes and pants with
a shirt, combed his hair in front of the mirror and hid the bag in his school
bag so that the neighbours wouldn’t notice.
That is why his family members only called him
the Sunday child. This nickname was later changed to Mr. Sunday because he
complained that he was still scolded as a child.
He never invited his school friends home because
he had to share his room with his brothers and sisters, actually only had one
bed and half a cupboard. But there was order, every piece of clothing, even
the socks and underpants ironed and carefully folded.
If there was an event at school, he did not
mention it at home for fear and preventing someone from his family from
appearing there and thereby showing someone in the education centre where he
really came from or how he actually lived. Yes, he was ashamed of his origin.
From his uncle, who had been in jail for fraud
and evasion, he learned tricks on how to make people believe that he was
someone else or how to inspire confidence in them.
A schoolteacher showed him the library and a
number of books that should read. He looked at the long shelves with wide
eyes, guessed that this would take years of study, and decided to listen to
other people who would sum up all of this for him. He was generally lucky
that most of the people, he came into contact with, had read less than he had
and therefore could not control whether what he was saying was really true.
He quickly learned that it was useful to approach
the powerful ones because sooner or later, there were always a few crumbs
falling off. But where did one find these rich, influential people? Of course
in church, where the priest immediately gave advice on which political party
to choose. He played the devout once a week with national symbols on his
suit.
As he got older, he desired to try out a man's
feelings. However, he was too stingy to invest time and money in an
acquaintance with a woman that none could be found. With the girls of his own
social layer, he probably would have had a better chance if he hadn't looked
down on them. Therefore, depending on what his wallet allowed, he found
himself incognito in the cathouse.
And today, on this big day, he should finally
come out into the high society. At the opening of the new stadium, he had
been asked to hold the scissors that the great leader was going to use to cut
the ribbon to the entrance.
