THE NOURA VAN KEMMERS

Rubber Plantation

Mrs Helena's goal is good. She wanted Noura to learn sewing. Isn't sewing a very useful skill. Especially for women who really like fashion styles and models. Mrs Helena hopes Noura can be interested in learning to sew.

Last night he told Noura that Elsye Van Beek will be here at around nine in the morning. Elsye would teach him how to sew using a machine.

"Mama hope you want to learn to sew, Noura. Don't you want to be like Miss Elsye who's good at sewing. The result of the stitching is famous neat and good. Many people are satisfied with the results. Learning to sew is not boring. It is very good for enhancing your creativity. You can make your own dress later or you can open a convection business. Look at that sewing machine. It's a sewing machine left by your grandmother and has not been used for a long time" Ms Helena said enthusiastically.

"Yes Mama" answered Noura short. Yes, that's the most appropriate answer to make Mama stop babbling. Deep down, there was not the slightest interest in learning to sew.

Why not just Mama who learned to sew, if it is interested, murmured Noura in the heart

The morning after breakfast, Noura settles into the side yard, where his papa puts the car. Near the 1925 Jeep car and sitting in the back seat.

"Miss is just surprising" said Sudarman who was sitting enjoying his coffee.

Noura placed an index finger on her lips, giving Sudarman the code to not make a sound. Not long after Mr. Adrian appeared and immediately got into the car. As usual, that morning he planned to go to the rubber plantation to check the crops. Sudarman said his greetings and then prepared the car.

"Hey, are you here apparently?" Mr. Adrian was surprised to see Noura sitting in his car.

"I want to go with papa to the plantation. I want to help you tap the rubber. Can you?" noura Pinta.

"But didn't Mama ask you to stay home and learn to sew with Miss Elsye? Mama will scold you later!"

"I don't like sewing and I don't want to learn sewing. I know Mama's gonna be mad, don't you think Mama's been scolding me too often?"

"Well if that's what you want" replied Mr. Adrian. Again and again He could only agree without giving a reason, because it was certain that Noura would remain to the estate even though he forbade.

"Thank you Papa."

...****************...

The rubber garden located in the Tjibinung (Cibinong) area which has an area of 1.5 hectares is very promising. Each harvest is capable of producing 20 to 60 liters of rubber sap. The selling value is very potential, considering the need for the rubber processed industry is high at that time. Opa Willly acquired the land for free after he retired from his job at Herverman. Like most Dutch people, the rubber garden is one of the investments as well as a source of wealth in the colony. The difficult life of time in Harlingen made Opa Willy very frugal so that he could finally raise capital to develop the plantation.

In addition to the rubber garden, Opa Willy also has a fish preservation business in Harlingen. The business was lived after he settled back in Harlingen. The departure of his wife, Roseline due to malaria had made him lose his spirit and finally decided to return to Harlingen.

He also assigned his only child, Adrianus Van Kemmers, to continue his work as chief of staff at one of the giant plantations in Batavia as well as cultivate his rubber garden. Adrianus who was married at that time immediately agreed and brought his wife and three children to move.

When he was a teenager, he lived in the Dutch East Indies with his parents and grandparents. The cool and beautiful atmosphere of the colony made him at home, but his need to complete his education made him have to return to the Netherland. There Adrian finished his education and met Helena and later married.

Adrian was still working at his father's friend's lumber company when his father asked him to go to the Dutch East Indies. At that time there was no other choice. The difficult conditions in Harlingen made him have to immediately move to the Dutch East Indies and start his luck there.

And sure enough, Adrianus managed to replace the position of the Father as chief of administrative staff on a large estate owned by one of the former VOC officials in Batavia, and not only that, he also managed his father's own rubber plantation until it was successful and developed. From the breadth is not much until finally can reach one hectare more, profits continue to increase every year and of course the economic life of his family was getting better.

Seriate.
