Athena

Athena
2nd Day's


After getting ready, they all headed for a garden that looked very extraordinary. The garden was given a roof. All needs including water needs, fertilizers and others are completely controlled by humans.


This garden is 1 hectare. There are 4 levels of potato plants in this garden. Some are newly planted, some have grown, some are 60 days old and one level will be harvested in a few days.


In general, potatoes will be harvested on days 80 to 120. Depending on the type of plant.


"Where's the owner, sir?" ask Eros.


Mr. Kades saw his watch.


"Three more minutes he will arrive." replied Mr. Kades.


"Is the farm here this advanced?" ask Kevin.


"not all farmers use this method. Some of us still rely on rainfall"


"When with this method, it can save time because there is no need to wait for good or bad weather. The results are definitely more" Eros said.


Mr. kades nodded.


"Farmers also complain about fertilizer. The seedlings can also be said to be quite expensive" said Mr. Kades conveyed the complaints of his citizens.


"I'm sorry, it's too late" said a man whose body was no longer firm. Behind him a young man with an age range of 34 years followed him.


Athena looked. How shocked he was to find Abraham here. It turns out that the one with him is Run.


"No problem, sir" said mr. kades.


"You guys must have waited long enough. Again, forgive this old man" he said.


"It's not a big deal, sir" Raga said.


Abraham turned to Athena. He was about to approach Athena, but Run quickly held her back.


"Did you know, these are students from Maheswari. They are sent to study in each of their chosen fields. It just so happened that they all chose agriculture, and were sent here to study" said Mr. Kades.


"Thank you for choosing the farm. Though most millennial children like you will definitely choose offices and the like. As long as they are not dirty" Abraham said.


"It's an honor for us to be given the opportunity to learn from you. Please guide him, sir" said Eros.


"Include me, he's one of my partners who came a few weeks ago" Abraham said, introducing Run.


"Greetings know everything" Run said kindly. His fierce and scary face while in town A is now invisible.


"Greetings, brother" Eros shook Run's hand, followed by another. They also shake Abraham's hand.


"Women are only one man?" ask Abraham.


"Yes, sir" replied Athena softly.


Abraham turned his head towards Run, confirming what he saw. Run nodded slowly. Abraham understood. Athena is not much different from her mommy.


"You take care of each other. Keep your own name, family, school and village" Abraham said.


"Good, sir" compact Athena, Eros, Raga, Small, Darren and Wildan.


"Young people are different. His spirit is still stirring" said Mr. Kades after hearing the compact answer from his six guests.


"Sir Abraham, Mr. Run, then I say goodbye first. There's a meeting at the village hall" pamit pak kades.


"Sisters, you step down first"


"Thank you, sir" said Eros and Kevin.


"Be careful, kades" said Abraham. While Run just nodded.


For the past four years Abraham has been a farmer here. He did not jump directly in taking care of his garden. It will only come once a month. But after Lathief called her, if Athena chose agriculture, and the school happened to be putting her in this village, Lathief would be willing to submit his land to the school as a medium of study for Athena and her friends. Min, Run and Ram of course occupy Abraham's house as his duty house to guard Athens.


Abraham and Run accompanied the teenagers on walks around the garden.


"Four years ago. This is our third product trial. The first attempt failed. Caterpillars arriving. The second experiment, arguably successful but somewhat took up to 120 days. Hopefully this time it works, it can be harvested in less than 100 days" explained Abraham.


"Does my father grow his own products? Seeds for example?" ask Kevin.


"of course. Even the fertilizer I brought from the outside" replied Abraham.


"Isn't that hard enough? Or the farmers here will feel alienated." asked Athena.


"Actually it's quite difficult. At first the farmers objected. Especially after seeing my failure twice, they were worried that the plants did not work" explained Abraham.


"Are you not worried about the outcome?" ask Eros.


"Failure and success are two things that go side by side. I have prepared mentally before I start" replied Abraham.


"Sisters, I'll tell you about your schedule. As in school, you go from Monday to Friday, so we also choose that option. For the clock, you only need to be here until 11 pm." explained Run.


"Okay, brother" answered everything.


"Sir, is there a market?" ask Athena.


"There, once a week. Every Saturday. It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday, so you suggest buying necessities that cover up until the next week. Ohiya, you don't have to worry about vegetables, people here like to give it for free"


"Thank you, brother, for the explanation" said Eros.


Abraham looked at the clock on his wrist.


"Now it's 11 in the afternoon. As your father's gratitude for your presence, we invite you to lunch at home." Abraham asked.


"Wahh, thank you, sir" Wildan said happily.


Abraham chuckled amusedly at the look on Wildan's face.


"Cold weather. Keep getting hungry" Darren said plainly.


"You take care of your health" Abraham's message.


They left Abraham's farm, and walked to Abraham's house.


Abraham's house resembles a villa with a large courtyard. There's a swimming pool in the back. Athena was amazed.


"It's cool" he said.


"Take a. Living in the village, the taste of the city" Wildan said.


Abraham asked them in the back garden, which was why they could tell there was a swimming pool at the back of the villa.


"Gue won't freeze, will it, if you swim here?" ask Darren plain.


"Son, Ren. At least you're just hypothermia" joked Kevin.


Abraham chuckled at Darren's question.


"Please sit down" said Abraham.


They sit in the gasebo.


"Sister Run where? Not eating?" ask Eros.


"Jam this way Run will sleep. He will eat after waking up. Afraid of sleeping too late if you eat before going to bed, he said" replied Abraham.


Food served. There is fried chicken, vegetable chayote leaves sauteed, also potato soup.


"Eat a lot. The cold weather keeps us hungry" Abraham said.


"Thank you, sir" they said in unison before eating lunch in front of him.
