Chapter 16

One year has passed, and Axel is now more successful. The results of his hard work did not betray Axel, since he resigned from Mr. Jeff and helped his mother in the fields.
 Axel is not just a laborer in the fields, but because of his intelligence, he has to manage the fields for the better.
 "How are things in the fields, Axel?" asked Mrs. Anne, while bringing Axel lunch in the fields.
 Axel smiled and saw Mrs. Anne who came towards him. "Fine," replied Axel, while his hand took a glass of water and gulped it down.
 Mrs. Anne nodded, hearing Axel's answer. She was happy because Axel was getting more active at work, and was also able to manage the fields very well.
 "Here's your lunch, till have work at home. Don't forget to eat, ok?" Mrs. Anne's message, Axel nodded. Mrs. Anne left the field area, leaving Axel who was looking at the workers in the fields who were working.
 "Didn't think that I would be better than before," muttered Axel proudly, he was happy because he could develop what he had. Even though it is a field, if it is properly processed it will produce very large results.
 A man came up to Axel, who had just finished working in the fields. Sitting beside Axel, while shaking his hat to get rid of the heat.
 "Go home and eat first, or eat here together?" Axel offered while pointing at the food Mrs. Anne brought.
 The man shook his head. "No need, I'll be home for a while to eat," he replied, making Axel just nod briefly.
 "Oh yes, I saw a field that maybe no one cares about who owns it?" asked Axel, looking at the man beside him sitting casually.
 "Which field?" Axel chuckled, he pointed to a very large empty field.
 "That, it seems that no one takes care of the fields. Even though the land is fertile there," Axel said in surprise, because he had visited the fields and felt they were suitable for better repairs.
 "Oh belongs to a neighbor next door. Indeed, the land is good, but the price is not a joke. That's expensive, sir," he replied, looking at Axel. "But don't ask if the field is wide, it just looks small, let's just walk over the field it feels endless!" He added that made Axel even happier.
 Axel nodded his head, understanding what his friend was saying. "Yes, I've also been there just to see and it's really wide," answered Axel.
 "Sir, do you want to buy the field? Why are you suddenly asking about the field?" Axel just chuckled softly, while lowering his head for a moment.
 "I don't know, I just like that field. Maybe next time, I will have a field like that," replied Axel with a sweet smile, he stared at the empty field with a gaze that was difficult to decipher.
 "All right, sir, I hope so. In that case, I'll go home first to have lunch, I'll come back here later." Axel nodded, making the worker go back home, to fill his empty stomach, because he had been working since morning.
 Axel was the same, he ate the food given by Mrs. Anne with gusto. He thought of a wish, which he would be able to realize a few more times.
 ***
 Axel walked over the fields, along with several people to see the condition of the fields.
 "The fields here are quite fertile sir, maybe if you plant here I can guarantee that everything will produce good results," said a middle-aged man, looking at Axel who was looking around the fields.
 Axel nodded. "But why isn't anyone taking care of this field? Isn't it good to take care of it and produce lots of it," Axel asked the owner of the field, who was coming with them this time.
 "I'm old, I can no longer take care of the fields. My children too, are not at home, all work for the city," he answered, making Axel nod his head in understanding.
 Axel stopped, he then looked at the owner of the field. "Does that mean you sold this field?" The man nodded firmly, confirming Axel's words.
 "Yes, I did sell it. The price is according to what I offered earlier," he replied.
 "I will buy this field," Axel said, making them widen their eyes happily, because the price was also not a joke, making them feel they would not expect Axel to be able to buy it.
 "Okay then, let's talk about it in the hut shall we?" Axel and some of the farm owners walked towards the hut that was located there, with slow steps but they finally arrived at the hut.
The owner of the field immediately took out the files, and after finishing paying Axel signed a letter. And gave a land title to Axel.
 "Thank you very much, sir, I hope your luck will go even better," said the owner of the field, making Axel smile with pleasure.
 "Yes, hopefully, then I'll say goodbye first. Come on, sir." They watched Axel leave with sadness and pride.
 "It's rare for anyone of their age to be able to buy a field. Even the hard work is not a joke," said one of them, making the owner of the field smile.
 Another case with Axel with his happy face, walking to get home from work. With the papers in his hands, he will show them to Mrs. Anne.
 "Mom," Axel called when he got home, Mrs. Anne approached Axel when she saw Axel had come home.
 "Going home already." Axel shook Mrs. Anne's hand, and Mrs. Anne's gaze was fixed on the file in Axel's hand
 "What are you bringing?" Mrs. Anne asked, making Axel smile, he then gave the file to Mrs. Anne.
 "I have a present for you, please accept it," said Axel, Mrs. Anne stared at Axel for a while. Before his hand took the file, and opened it slowly.
 "Field?" Mrs. Anne was shocked, while Axel could only smile seeing the shocked look on Mrs. Anne's face.
 "For me? Is it true you bought it for me?" asked Mrs. Anne with emotion, she immediately hugged Axel's body tightly. Proud to have the youngest son like Axel.
 "Yes, sorry Mom, I just bought the field," said Axel
 "This is enough, that's enough. Thank you very much, Axel, I'm grateful if this is for me." Mrs. Anne hugged Axel's body tightly, channeling her emotion to Axel.
 Axel smiled proudly, finally he was able to buy Mrs. Anne a wider field. So that Mrs. Anne no longer needs to be a laborer, but be the owner of the field that she will find laborers to take care of the field she bought.
