Our hero was born healthy and was like a treasure for the family. She became the apple of the eye for everyone. But not for a very long time, she was not even a year old,her sibling was born. It was hard for the parents to raise two children, it was not because of money but because of the father's work and the mother's condition. The father was always out for work as he had gained a lot of name in the law field and now everyones wanting him as their lawyer and the mother delivered two children in the span of one year. But the father sacrificed his work for the sake of his two girls. Our hero was taken care by the father and her sibling was taken care by the mother. But as time passed the father had to return to work and now their mother was fine so she could now take care of her two daughters. The siblings had only some months gap between their ages but their mother preferred the younger daughter more than the elder daughter, our protagonist. Things were running fine till they were 5 , both the siblings were put in a well known school specially made for the rich upper category of people. Both of them were excellent in their studies, our hero was one grade up than her sister but the teachers had faith that in both the grades the toppers will be from the same family.Our hero was an expert in making friends,she had many good friends until she was in grade 1. She had a tution class all the children were good friends and engaged in studies together except for one peculiar boy, he was a quite type but would do the work at the end without any hesitation. Although he was a silent person but had quite a name in the locality. The dark clouds were yet to come . One of our hero's friend was jealous of her because in the friend group he was the most ignored because he was nither good in studies nor he had a special talent, all this hate he had only at the age of 7. To get attention of his friends he would fill the ears of the friend group whenever our hero wouldn't come. One day he filled their ears so much they decided to beat our hero so she learns a lesson for the mistakes she didn't do . One day when all the students of class 1 batch were present , after the class they decided to play in the playground but it was just a trap to beat our hero. Our hero was excited to play together as they were almost 8-9 children and they could play with more joy as she believed the more people the more the enjoyment of the game. When they reached the ground all of them started yelling at our hero for the things she didn't even said. She was surprised and scared at the same time her body just freezed listening all those things from her friends and before she could even defend herself that boy who was jealous of her landed a blow on her , all of them stepped ahead to hit her , but here comes the saviour of our hero . The silent type boy stood in front of her defending her telling everyone that it's all lies that the jealous boy has spread , our hero didn't cry because of the pain from the blow but from the fact that someone took a stand for her whom she didn't even talk once . Our hero still remembers the words the boy said:-
"Kisi ko ladne ki jarurat nhi ye jhut bol raha "
(Nobody has to fight, this boy is saying all lies)
"Ham sab dost hai bahut time se kabhi ladai nhi hui abhi kyu ladna 1 se kyunki 1 uske khilaf kuch bol raha hai "
(We are so old friends why we have to fight because a single person is against a single person)
But the liar didn't wanted his plan to fail so he attacks the boy. It was a unbelievable moment for our hero, the boy who was a quite type suddenly changed and became like some monster. The 7 year old was 3.5 in height and was fighting 6-7 people alone defending the person who he didn't even know. They were all 7 but the monster was fighting like he was atleast 9 or 10 years old the brutality of the fight was so intense our hero lost her senses. She opened her eyes in a unknown house . She discovered someone had done her first aid while she was unconscious and she had a busted lip . The next thing she saw was the monster but he had a light smile on his face as if the monster had left his body, he was casually playing his arcade game set as if nothing had happened. He said that he had called her father through the tution teacher and he will be here soon. After some time our hero's father arrived and thanked the boy and his parents to keep her daughter safe. Our hero was surprised as she saw her father already knew the parents of the boy as the boy's father and our hero's father had worked earlier together. When she reached home , the environment was already tensed her mother embraced her and checked for injuries but she was fine. She said what actually happened and then went in her room to get some sleep. Next day when nobody in the house her mother calls her and makes her sit beside herself and said , we cannot change what had happened but we can change what could happen in the future, starting from tomorrow I will teach you how to fight so you could defend yourself without someone's help. Our hero agrees , the next day her mother starts teaching her karate, our hero was clueless that how her mother was so skilled in a combat sport but she eliminated all the questions in her mind and focused on the training. She trained hard day and night, had some sparring sessions with her mother, lost all of them but kept going. After 2 years her mother told her she has taught her what she had she gave her everything she had. Our hero bacme  happy, confident and Powerful in those 2 years. But her mother had different plans, she told her husband to find a martial arts gym in the locality and they will put our hero in it for training. The father after searching for days found a MMA academy which was opened a few months ago. They put our hero although she didn't wanted to join but joined because her parents wants to and she didn't want to hurt her parents. It was a fully new experience for our hero to go to a unknown place without any knowledge what it was but she was ready to face the challenge as her confidence was high
