He rubbed her back lovingly, trying to calm her down. Rose pulled herself out of his embrace again, wiping her tears. She had a murderous look in her eyes!

"My mother had just delivered a child after a surgery! She was weak, so she could not protect herself physically. Do you know what she did just the next day after the incident?" She said, looking in his eyes.

Rhahan shudered, looking at her facial expressions. He had never seen this angry side of Rose, not even when he had tried to make advances at her!

"What?" he asked her, again holding her hands.

"She sent me away to get trained under Master Xio Lee. Though I was quite young but I knew, getting me trained was my mother's ultimate goal. She would often tell me that girls have to be strong enough to fight away anybody who tries to harm their integrity," she said, as if in a trance.

Rhehan looked at her with dumb-founded eyes. He had done just exactly what she had been taught to fight against! He could not utter anything to her in reply.

"My mother sent me away for training and my brother at my aunt's place for whole one month to keep him protected. She fought hard, struggled day and night and ultimately after one month, the gang was granted a capital punishment by the court," she said, with a sad smile on her face.

"My mother did not let my father's death and assault towards her, affect her dedication towards justice. She has dedicated her life to protect the rights of innocent and that's what me and my brother have been taught to do. We are strong enough not just to fight for ourselves but also for every innocent and needy," she said, looking at her perfectly tonned up arms and hands.

"So that's why you saved me, from the gang," he said to her. He was somehow feeling lucky to have her in his life now! He did not deserve it though, he thought!

"Yes. I couldn't just let you die. Millions of people are dependent on you. Also, I knew you are a nice man, irrespective of our bad encounters," she said, seriously.

"Thank you," he said, feeling greatful. He lovingly caressed her hair and from his eyes, she could tell that he was proud of the girl sitting in front of her!
