"Aargghh is delicious, so what are we going to do now?" ask Andre excitedly.
He had finished his breakfast and there was nothing left on his plate or in his cup.
"Are you ready to work with me today?" ask Grace's grandmother reassuringly.
"I'll always be ready whenever it's Grandma. All right, where are we gonna start?" ask Andre.
"Sana.." Appoint Grace's grandmother on a land filled with grass.
Andre looked at the piece of land that the bush grew by narrowing his eyes.
"Well, what am I supposed to do there?" ask Andre again.
"You clean up that piece of land, I'll plant chili there. There is not one grass that is still growing on the ground that I will plant later." Grace's grandmother ordered.
Andre took a deep breath and took it out of his mouth, he did a body stretch and ran in place for a while. Grandma Grace who saw that was astonished by what this man was doing.
"Hey, I told you to clean the bush, it's not morning gymnastics" said Grace, a little upset.
"Calm down, Grandma, I just warm up so that my body does not cramp when cleaning the thickets later" said Andre.
Andre walked towards the basket he had brought, he picked up a sickle and also a wooden stick behind the door of the hut. He tied the sickle with wood, so strong that he tried to beat it several times to make sure the sickle and wood did not come off.
"All right, I'll be working soon. Grandma can do grandma's work, don't worry about me." said Andre.
Andre left by carrying a sickle that now has a longer handle than before. With a definite step Andre came to the piece of land, now he was standing before the bush and staring at the thickets he was about to remove from the land.
"Alright, let's go back in time when you didn't know stocks yet." murmured Andre.
Eagerly Andre swung his sickle and cleared the thickets that were before him at the moment. For him, the thickets in Grace's grandmother's place today are no match for the thickets in Indonesia that are full of thorny grass.
Sweat soaked Andre's body, for a moment the clothes he was wearing had now been drenched in sweat. He cleaned with the details of the soil indicated by Grace's grandmother. Grandma Grace who was watching him from afar just smiled, she did not expect that Andre could do such a job.
The sun is getting higher from the contest, now the light is no longer warm. The heat burned Andre's body which was now drenched in sweat along with pieces of soil that had been blown away as he cleaned the bush. Lucy arrives at the cottage where Grandma's resting place while in the field, she searches for Andre for fear that grandma makes Andre difficult. Lucy surrounds the garden and sees her grandmother cleaning the tomato trees from the yellowing leaves.
"Grandma, where's Andre? Why don't I see it?" ask Lucy to worry.
"Are you here just worried about your girlfriend? Don't you think about me too?" ask Grace's grandmother to be angry.
"That month, it's just that I'm afraid he's not used to this kind of plantation" Lucy said.
"He's there, cleaning up the land that I'm going to grow chili later" said Grace's grandmother, pointing to Andre's place.
"Gosh, why did grandma do that to him? I'll catch him there." said Lucy.
Lucy leaves Grace's grandmother alone who hasn't had time to answer her questions. The girl immediately ran towards Andre with a look and a feeling of worry towards her lover. Lucy never knew how Andre's life as a child, which she knew if Andre was once only a child from the lower middle class. He never knew if Andre's parents were actually farmers, and what he was doing now was the usual thing he did when he helped his father in the garden.
