Chapter 2 - BECAUSE OF YOU :

Adam's life had undergone a profound transformation. He was no longer the old Adam, the aimless young man with no discipline or punctuality. His life had changed completely for the baby girl who had come into his world like an angel. Before Radva, Adam had been reckless, involved in dangerous activities because he didn't know how to protect himself from the harsh realities of the world. As a teenager, he had suffered immensely, having no one to hold his hand or guide him.

But everything changed when he found Radva. Seeing her, he was reminded of his own painful past. He made a firm decision to protect her from every hardship. The first step was to give her a name, a strong name: Radva, which means "Harder Mountain."

Determined to shield her from the dangers he had once faced, Adam took Radva far away from their village. He chose a secluded place where no one could find them. This marked the beginning of a new journey with his angel, a journey that brought light to his once dark life.

"Radva," Adam said one evening, looking at her with a mixture of pride and affection, "do you know why I named you Radva?"

She shook her head, her curious eyes meeting his.

"It means 'Harder Mountain.' I wanted you to have a name that symbolizes strength and resilience, something I knew you would need in this world."

Radva smiled, touched by his words. "Thank you, Adam. I love my name. It makes me feel strong."

Adam's heart swelled with love. This girl, his angel, had given him a purpose. Before her, he had been lost, drifting through life without direction. Now, every day had meaning. He had become disciplined, careful, and fiercely protective.

"Adam," Radva asked one day, "what was your life like before you found me?"

Adam paused, memories of his turbulent youth flashing through his mind. "It was very different, Radva. I wasn't always the man you know now. I made a lot of mistakes and faced many dangers because I had no one to guide me."

Radva listened intently, sensing the pain in his voice. "But you changed. You became the best father anyone could ask for."

"That's because of you," Adam replied softly. "You gave me a reason to change, to be better. When I found you, I saw myself in you, alone and vulnerable. I promised myself that I would give you the life I never had."

Their new life, far from the chaos of the village, was simple but filled with love and learning. Adam taught Radva everything he knew, from fishing and hunting to reading and writing. He nurtured her talents and encouraged her curiosity, always emphasizing the importance of strength and kindness.
