After we finished breakfast, Aunt Effie and I started clearing the table.
As we do so, aunt Effie says something to me.
"Today I have to go deliver some milk and egg orders, and sort out some errands for the bar. Have you finished your preparations for today?"
"Yes, i have."
Aunt Efi asks me if I prepared my things for today, despite her easy going personality Aunt Effie is very organized in such matters.
That's also the reason why she's having a very successful business as a bar owner.
As I think that, Aunt Effie says to me.
"Good, then I leave first to get ready. Oh, I almost forgot about the chores of the farm, you don't need to bother much, just do the basics, leave the heavy part of the work to me, okay?"
After she says this, I look at her with a worried expression and I say to her.
"Are you sure Aunt Effie? The heavy part of the farm work takes time and it is tiring, you have so many jobs to run, you won't get tired?"
After I say that, Aunt Effie smiles confidently and she says to me.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I did the heavy part of the farm work."
"The last time you said that aunt,you got a backache from doing the heavy part of the farm work and…"
As I reminded Aunt Effie about the accident she had the last time she decided to do the heavy part of the farm work. I suddenly feel a cold stare from the direction of Aunt Effi. I look at her and I see her smile at me.
But it wasn't her usual warm smile, it was a cold smile, the one the women have when they are angry but they still want to remain calm, as she keeps staring at me she tells me in a cheerful but cold voice.
"Did you say anything, my nephew !?"
When I hear her in that tone of voice, I know I've made a big mistake and I know exactly what a mistake I did.
The last time Aunt Effie did the heavy part of the work in the farm she got a backache, the doctor said it was from the lack of exercise and the fact that she is forty years old and the early signs of middle age are starting to appear.
After that, Aunt Effie was angry for an entire week and I paid the price for that, fortunately she got over it, but after that, this incident became a taboo subject for Aunt Effie and for that reason I never mention it, well, except now.
"I just said to have a nice day, Aunt Effie."
Being trapped by her cold stare, I say the first thing comes to my mind and fortunately it works.
"That is what I thought you said. Anyway, I need to go to prepare for the delivery, make sure to check everything it's locked before you leave, ok?"
As she says that, I breathe a sign of relief and I say to her.
"I will be. you too, please be careful on the road."
As I say that, Aunt Effie looks at my way with a smile and she says.
"I'll be, see you later nephew."
"See you later, Auntie."
After I say that, Aunt Effie leaves the kitchen and I continue washing the rest of the dishes.

After Aunt Effie left, I finished washing the dishes and I started the work on the farm.
The farm has size of *10 acres, it's separated in the north area, east area, south area, west area and central area.
The north area includes the wheat field and the vineyard, one gives us wheat and the other grapes, both useful for generating income for the farm.
Next is the east area which includes the greenhouse, the vegetable garden and the orchard, useful for the production of the fruits and vegetables that we consume and sell to our suppliers.
Then we have the south area where the entrance, the warehouses and the garage with the farm's agricultural machinery are located, useful for the maintenance and the cultivation of the farm.
After that we have the western area, where the barn, the silo, the piggery, the chicken coop and the goat pen are located. The eggs and milk that Aunt Effie delivers daily come from there.
Finally, we have the central area where the farmhouse with the garage for the car is located. The farmhouse is a two-story house with many bedrooms, a living room, bathroom ,kitchen and dining room. It also has a basement with a cellar that has wines that have been made by my grandfather after years of research.
The entire farm was built by my grandparents, but they retired and left it to me and my aunt so they could travel the world.
I miss them, but they call us almost every day and every three months they return to see how we are doing.
As I think about all this, I finished the farm work. It usually takes me one and half hour to finish the farm work, but since Aunt Effie decided to do the heavy part of the farm work for today, I finished earlier than usual.
Today's schedule includes feeding the animals, milking the cows and the goats, collecting the eggs, cleaning the pigsties, watering and picking the seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Normally inside the schedule is also the cleaning of animal's inhabitants and also checking the fields, but these will be done by Aunt Effie for today.
After I'm done with all of that, I take a shower and now, I am putting on my university uniform.
After I finish wearing my uniform, I go down to the ground floor and check if everything is locked.
After making sure it is, I head to the garage, get the bike, head to the entrance, lock the entrance and start heading towards the university.
As I start heading to university, I think to myself.
'I hope things go well today and I don't run into these people.'
As I have this thought, I start to rush towards the university, not knowing that things will go contrary to what I hoped would happen.

As Stathis is starting the work at the farm. In a mansion east of Argyropetra, a girl in the same age as Stathis who is recently moved to Greece from Japan is starting her day
'Knock,Knock'
"Whah."
Due to the knock on the door, the girl opens her eyes, gets up from bed and starts stretching.
"Yes...come in."
When the girl gives permission to enter her room in a hushed tone, the door opens and a woman in her thirties with short black hair, red eyes, and a curvy body, enters her bedroom while she's wearing a maid's uniform.
"Good morning miss, how was your sleep?"
As she enters the room, the woman asks the girl how she slept, in a caring tone.
"I slept well Cecilia, what about you?"
The girl answers Cecilia's question in a friendly tone, and she asks Cecilia how her night was.
"I went out with the other girls yesterday to explore the area and we did it. We decided to stop in a bar and have a few drinks, we had a good time and we ended up returning late."
"I'm so jealous, I want to go out and drink with my friends too."
The girl says with jealousy to Cecilia and expresses her deep desire to go out with her friends too.
"Don't worry, miss, I'm sure your desire will be fulfilled soon."
As Cecilia says this, the girl looks at her with a melancholy expression and says to Cecilia in a doubtful tone.
"I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon. Anyway, go and prepare my bubble bath, please."
As the girl gives the order, Cecilia bows and says to the girl in a happy but obedient tone.
"As you wish, Miss Serena."
After Cecilia says this, she leaves the room and goes to prepare the bubble bath.
Serena, who stayed alone, begins to think about something.
'I wonder if something interesting is going to happen today?'
As Serena thinks this, She opens the drawer of her bedside table and takes out a white cloth with a colorful line sewn on it.
'I wonder if I'll meet him there?'
As Serena looks at the cloth she begins to think about the owner of the cloth and the story behind it.
Without knowing that she and the owner of the cloth will meet very soon.
