THE NOURA VAN KEMMERS

Traveling to the past

According to information I read from google, Van der Parra is a VOC governor general who is famous for glamour and often commit acts of corruption. Traces of the luxurious Van der Parra lifestyle can be seen from the magnificent former house in the Cimanggis region.

"My great-grandfather was one of Van der Parra's confidants. My great-grandfather started his career from scratch in the VOC. From his work, he could collect wealth to be stored in the Netherland. According to the story of Papa, the life of his great-grandfather and his family in the Netherland was very, very poor."

"Honey, he died on the way home. When the horse-drawn carriage he was riding after visiting from Mr. Van der Parra's house had an accident. He died on the spot and was buried in Batavia."

"Then Opa Willy, who was young, continued his father's work. Opa also worked at Herverman, one of the VOC-owned plantation companies that was eventually taken over by the Dutch government, after the VOC was declared bankrupt. Then along with his partner, Opa built a rubber plantation business in the Tjibinong (Cibinong) region and asked Papa to help him."

"Papa who was then taking care of Opa's business in Harlingen finally followed and moved here, especially when Omaku was gone," Noura continued the story.

"Then did Opa and your great-grandfather know Cornelis Chastelein, a Dutch landowner who built plantation land in this region?" my many.

"of course. My great-grandfather knew him well. The house was also built with his help. This house is a resting house owned by Grandfather's great-grandfather. Grandpa visits this house once a week or two."

According to the information I read, Depok in the 1700s was a wilderness full of shrubs. Later it was opened and used as a plantation area. The cool air at that time made some VOC employees build a rest house in Depok.

"After Omaku died of malaria, Opa decided to return to Harlingen and leave work including his plantation to Papa." Noura again.

"My life here used to be very happy. I grew up and grew up in this house. I went to a special Dutch school. I also often help my Papa on the plantation. I also have some friends from the natives. I think my life is perfect. There's a lot of life experiences that I've had here that are really very different from Harlingen."

I guess if it was alive, Noura would have been hundreds of years old. In my eyes, Noura is like a pretty vampire in the movies. Aah Noura, your smile really impressed me. I can't wait for your arrival.

With a relaxed step I headed out to the house. The work in this house is still the same. My dad is busy with office work. Go in the morning and go home at night. Galih who is very focused on his college affairs, Ratna who looks happy because she already has many friends, has many friends, and also Mama who is excited because the order Mpek-Mpek continues to skyrocket which makes him overwhelmed and must find additional assistants.

Mama's Mpek-Mpek is second to none. It really feels nampol. One try definitely addictive and want to taste continue, hehehehe. At least, that's the testimony of the buyers I read on the online buying and selling platform that helped market Mpek-Mpek Mama.

Sometimes I help my mom deliver the order. Sometimes I go to the market to accompany Mama to buy production materials.

"Bay, where are you going?" ask Mama.

"to the backyard, Mah. Looking for inspiration."Reply relax.

"When do you want to be like this? you don't want to find a job?" mama's question caught me off guard.

"Look almost every day you just paint and play guitar. Don't you want to try a new experience?"

"Aren't you willing to try applying at the Bank? if you want, I can help you make a recommendation." Mama said again.

"Pay no interest in working at the Bank, Mah. Mama knows, Bayu's brain is pasan. Bayu will definitely be looking for a job, Mah. Definitely in accordance with Bayu's interests. Mama doain, yes!"

Seriate.
