Hans Viktor Fliggentzimis Jr., a 28-year-old, recently hired as a starting apprentice at the Constantinopatanisher- Doodle-Sachen und Fifenmaken Gesellschaft. knew in his Bavarian heart that his new romantic crush on Olga Fafuffnik, a bookkeeper at the company was ill-fated. It was in fact, less than a mere two weeks after having been hired for his entry-level job that he had noticed, Olga, a 19-year-old blond-braided and provocatively attractive clerk at the factory, and instantly fell in love with her. However, by covert inquiry, he learned to his profound dismay, that Olga was the daughter and only child of the widowed factory owner, Leopold Von Faffufnik, and that, his hope that she would be his inamorata was entirely hopeless.
It had been an otherwise ordinary Tuesday afternoon, when Hans Viktor was busily eating his regular lunch of Leidercrantz cheese, sausage, and pumpernickel, when he had noticed the provocative, blond-haired, Olga. On every Tuesday following the regular company lunch hour, Olga would return to her desk only to find a handful of white Eidelwise flower petals (the only possible love message), surreptitiously articulated by the agonized and frustrated Hans Viktor). Olga had also questionably noticed the frequent sight of Hans Victor, passing by her office door but never associated the same with the daily appearance of the mysterious flower petals.
At the company’s regular Octoberfest, Olga did not attribute any special significance to the nervous delivery of a mug of beer by Hans Viktor, deeming a mere holiday gesture by one of her father’s employees, to the dismay of the disappointed donor. Hans Viktor left the happy boisterous celebration, early and in a morose state of mind.
The disheartened, and entirely frustrated Hans Victor could not refrain from often spending weekly evenings, usually lasting as much as one hour, regardless of the weather, staring up at Olga’s windowed, second-story balcony at her residential apartment, sighing and gazing at her moving silhouette through the slats of her shutters. On a few occasions, he painfully observed that she was cuddling her small fox terrier, and left the venue feeling jealous of the pet in tearful self-pity.
After several weeks of this frustrating activity, Hans Viuctor, having previously met and chatted with a co-employee, arrived somewhat later than usual at Olga’s residential building to surprisingly (and frankly speaking, frighteningly) observe that she was standing at the entrance of her apartment building, sadly wringing her hands, loudly weeping. Her emotional state, combined with the energy of his unrequited love, lent him the courage to approach her to inquire after the cause of her intense sorrow. Olga, recognizing Hans Victor from the factory, explained that her small dog, Rapunzel a valuable gift from her late mother and a beloved companion for upwards of five years, had gone missing. Hans Victor, feeling her sadness, later returned home to miraculously find Olga’s precious dog, sitting peacefully at the door of his apartment. He cried and kissed the dog on the head and excitedly rushed back, gently and lovingly cradling little, fluffy Rapunzel in his arms, and excitedly set out to return the precious darling to its mourning mistress. He soon arrived at the familiar residential building; to bring the dog upstairs to Olgas’s second-floor apartment. After knocking excitedly, the door was opened by Olga’s father who had been unsuccessfully attempting to console himself and his daughter, was surprised,overjoyed and immensely grateful to observe that little, fluffy Rapunzel was miraculously returned by Hans Victor.
Olga’s father then sent out for the delivery of a sumptuous banquet for the three to celebrate. After the joyful dinner, Olga’s immensely pleased father suggested to the joyful surprise of Hans Viktor, that the celebrants get to know each other better.
The next prominent banquet took place approximately, one year later on the occasion of the marriage of the recently appointed Vice-President of der Constantinopalitanisher Doodle-Sachen und Fifen Machen Geselshast Shaft, his new son-in-law, Hans Viktot Hans Viktor to his beautiful daughter, the newly married Mrs. Olga Fliggentzimis.
