Luke's pov

" Luke, wake up. It's already 4pm." Pete was shaking me forcefully

" Five mins " I said twisting around

" I can't believe you are sleeping from the morning.... It's 4pm!"

Easy to say that spider! You don't know what I went through this morning... Our softy Dad murdered me

Flashback

If I have ever had respect for the farmers, let's say it's doubled now. Dad woke me up so early in the morning, hardly 4 am or something.

" Luca, wake up... I got you breakfast."

I just hummed in response but didn't move a muscle

" Lucas, up right now." He said firmly

I know I can't resist if he gets that tone with me here so I opened my eyes and got up slowly

" Yes daddy?" I asked in a sleepy voice

" Morning kiddo, let's have our breakfast." He said nicely

" Good morning, daddy." I rubbed my eyes, it was still dark around here, I checked the time, "But dad it's not even 4 yet, why so early?" I asked

" We have some work, love."

" Okay, dad I will wash up and join you " I said as I got up stretching my arms

" Sure babe."

I washed up and came back for breakfast with him. I wonder what work we have this early in the morning. I hope I can finish it soon and return to sleep.

We had breakfast as I asked him, " What work do we have dad ?"

" Now, I'll do the dishes, go change your clothes. We are going to plow the field." Daddy said

" The fields? Why so early ?" I whined

" We have to water the grains at this hour to not get dried with the sun." He explained

" Okay dad " I said as I got up and went to change my clothes

I came back and joined him," I am ready."

" Let's go, Luca." He said

We walked to the field and God! It's way too big, how we will finish this

" Take the plow." He handed it to me and got himself one as two other workers were with us.

Damnit! It's huge! And so early for me to function too! We plowed it, watered it and even sowed the grains too! It took us a few nice hours to finish it. I put all the tools in their place and stretched my arms and back, now time to return to sleep!! I got so happy at the thought of returning to my warm bed and lovely dreams

" Where do you think you are going, lovely boy?" Dad grabbed me from my hoodie

" To sleep Dad " I said innocently

" Nah... You still have to shower the animals... Yeah and feed them... I'll be in the field." He said

I thought all over and I am gonna sleep, he took me to wash the animals. Ugh!!! I whined in my thoughts

We have loads of cattle, and they are not very compliant ! I washed the horses, the cows and those pets, rabbits too!! I love rabbits! And fed them all It took me 3 hours, I went to search Dad, I found him trimming some plants

" Daddy, I'm done!" I told him

" Good, go cut the grass in our garden." He said

" Dad, can I do that in the evening ?" I asked hopefully
