There are a lot of activities on a farm. Widya's finger also interspersed with her curiosity against the Caucasian who are not too good at Indonesian.
POV Steward Berg's
Steward was the third of five children. Steward's parents live in the village of Leiden, Netherlands. Leiden is a village where the majority of the population is farmers from cattle, chicken, sheep to horse breeders. The Stewards own a family business in the field of cattle and horse processing. From cattle breeders, produce milk, milk is processed into yogurt drinks, ice cream or can be processed into cheese. Each of the Steward brothers held one company, Steward himself, given the confidence to hold the milk processing section. Milk processed into cheese, ice cream, boxed milk or bottle milk, after all, Steward himself supervised and sent all of them to nearby cities including Amsterdam, amsterdam is a favorite customer.
In his spare time, Steward still takes care of his cows which number 200, because Steward himself is a graduate of the farm, assisted by his brother. While his sister opened a shop that provides warm drinks made from cow's milk coupled with family secret ingredients with a blend of toast is a shop frequented by locals.
Steward himself is a best graduate veterinarian at the University of Amsterdam, so Steward easily completed his studies for only three and a half years. Later, Steward continued his schooling at Wageningen University & Research to major in agriculture.
Because Steward is determined to work and can be useful in his village, namely the village of Leiden. After almost 9 years of completing and living his education in the city of Amsterdam, then with the knowledge they have, Steward is sure to help the family business. Steward still lives at his parents' house in Leiden. The Steward family is a family that is used to working hard, they have a cow pen that is not far from home. Every morning, Steward releases his cows into a fenced-in cow yard and someone is put in the milking section. After that, Steward checked each document located in each house of his cow pen. The documents are arranged so that, easily supervised by the health development of the cows.
Steward and his brothers took care of the cow dung and then used as waste that is useful for household needs and can become manure and agriculture. Steward was grateful and enjoyed because his science was very useful for his family business. The Steward family is one of dozens of volunteers who donated dozens of her cows to her cows' milking on a floating farm in the Netherlands. The Dutch company offers advantages with the floating farm sharing system is the first floating farm in the World built in the Netherlands, especially in the Rotterdam area. Dutch company develops offshore dairy farm. The floating farm can produce milk and yogurt near downtown Rotterdam, and occupy unused land.
In the Netherlands, the Dutch people are very fond of parties so often hold festival events, especially in the village of Leiden always hold a routine festival every year.
This month is winter, which coincides with November, where in November in the village of Leiden held a Thanksgiving event.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia and Liberia. It began as a day of thanksgiving for the blessings of the harvest and the year before. Similar holidays take place in the Netherlands and Japan.
Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the Americas and around the same part of the year in other countries. Although tanksgiving has historical roots in traditional religions and thanksgiving culture it has also long been celebrated as a secular holiday.
Then, in December, still winter, usually the Steward family always gather to celebrate Christmas together in Leiden, the home of his parents. Although it is often met with his brothers but gathered on Christmas, a special day and family warmth, it is mandatory for the Steward family to gather.
Steward often visited the coffee shop owned by his first steward sister, Linda. Because Linda makes a special drink that no other shops around her have.
Steward always ordered, Linda's warm milk coffee drink and a plate of spaghetti. Unasked, Linda has served him Steward's idol menu.
When Steward eats food.
“Hai."
“Oo..hi Amanda."
“Yuk sit down join me."
“Steward, will you help and help me find trinkets for my booth?” Amanda asked hesitantly and nervously to Steward.
“Ooo... Can, when?”
“How about now, you don't mind Steward?" Ask Amanda for doubt.
“Oo.. no problem, after we finish breakfast, we leave, okay”
Amanda was Steward's High School friend first.
Amanda is a girl who used to love and have a crush on Steward, not because Steward was a rich man, because the average Leiden resident worked only to raise and farm, so their lives were more than enough, but because Steward is not only handsome, he is also kind-hearted, and light-hearted to help people who need help.
In High School, Steward is also a popular guy because Steward is one of the members of basketball players who always bring victory to his High School which all makes almost all women admire him.
Amanda and Steward had the pleasure of buying knick knacks to decorate the booth that would be installed at the winter festival event, in this event in addition to celebrating Christmas at this festival selling items in each booth, also for fundraising handed over to nursing homes in the Leiden area. Christmas knickknacks adorn the trees of electric poles, around the square in the middle of laiden village.
The houses in the village of Leiden are quite far away, surrounded by fields and cages on several hills with smoke billowing factories in their chimneys, a sign that the factory is actively working.
A festival is an event awaited by residents of laeiden as a consolation, because the average leiden resident diligently works hard in each of his work.
The winter festival went by very lively, Steward helped Linda, her sister in a booth that sold Linda's warm coffee and some Linda's pastry bread. A week of Winter Festival events passed by satisfying Linda because her merchandise was always sold out.
Linda saw clearly that Amanda liked Steward, and always asked Steward about it, but Steward thought Amanda was just an ordinary friend.
‘I see Amanda likes you.”
“Ah. We are just regular friends.” Answer Steward who is insensitive.
“Where are your eyes Steward?Since High School Amanda always approached you, then your attitude to her?” Grouse Amanda.
“I just thought of him as a friend of brother.”
“Some people are sweet, beautiful, kind, diligent, what is lacking in her?” Ask Linda.
“I have no taste in him brother, it is already.” Stewar said it was getting uncomfortable.
“Ya... It's up to you that” Linda left Steward alone in the living room.
The Christmas event for Steward is just a gift exchange and give each other gifts, gather in the living room with a room that is added a beautifully decorated Christmas tree of various colors and decorative lights placed near the furnace, fire, Along the firebox is attached a large and red and green socks that are placed alternately with beautiful decorations on her socks.
The first event after gathering all the families, they all moved towards the dining table for dinner together, then continued by sharing stories in the living room, and sharing gifts. Happy laughter on their Christmas Eve.
The next day the routine returned.
Five days later, the village of Leiden held a new year event held in Leiden square. All residents have fun together, to decorate the trees with various colored ropes are connected and connected to the trees in the square. In addition, the lights, knickknacks are also not forgotten in pairs to make a new night even more enlivening in the village square Leiden.
Steward posted his activities that day on his social media page. And he was quite surprised when he saw a notification that someone liked his post.
“Widya,” Gumam Steward mentions a name while staring at the layer of his phone.
