Chapter 1 - PRECIOUS THING :

Radva had endured immense suffering in her childhood. Her life took a drastic turn after a tragic accident.

When she was born, her parents, overcome with despair because of a hapless future, attempted suicide. They jumped from a bridge, taking their newborn daughter with them. They drowned in the river, but the baby became entangled in a net. Baby survived thanks to a fisherman named Adam, who happened to be passing by the river in his boat and had spread his net in the water. Coincidentally, only the baby was caught in it. Adam felt something unusual in the movement of the net. Afraid it might be a sea animal, he rushed to pull it out—and found a one-and-a-half-month-old unconscious baby.

Adam, a young man of just 18, was startled when he found the unconscious baby in his net. His initial fear quickly gave way to calm determination as he pulled her from the river and rushed her to the nearest village clinic for emergency care. By the grace of God, she was only unconscious from the height of the fall into the river. After a while, she cried as if it were her first cry since being born, needing warmth and care.

Adam, however, was unsure how to provide the comfort and security she needed. He was all alone, with nobody beside him, just surviving his own life. "I have no idea how things turned out like this," he laughed to himself, having no clue what the next step would be.

His priority became the baby's health and safety, as well as finding a safe place for her, despite his lack of financial resources and his humble lifestyle in a small village. After confirming with the nurse, he took her home. He stared at her, unsure what to do, while she slept soundly, with no idea where life was taking her from here.

After searching extensively for any information about the baby, he gave up. All he found were two dead bodies rescued by swimmers from the very same river where he had seen the baby,... whom he assumed were her parents. He decided not to tell anyone about the baby, fearing they might give her to some agency, and God only knew what would happen to that tiny little life.

Adam made a life-changing decision: he resolved to become her family, taking on the responsibility of raising her and ensuring she had a bright future.

As the years passed, Adam worked tirelessly to provide for the baby. He himself learned many things to become the best for her. He decided to give her a real name after calling her "Angel" for a year, so she could be recognized by the world.

While watching the mountains far from his home, he stared at the baby lying beside him, babbling and making sounds. "Radva… I'm going to name you Radva. How does it sound? Do you like it?" Adam asked, facing her. Radva glared at him with her wide, shiny hazel eyes, her mouth watering, making sounds of excitement.

During the first few months, Adam faced great difficulty taking care of her, as he had never babysat a child in his life. But over time, he became an expert.

They faced many challenges together, but their bond grew stronger with each obstacle they overcame.

Years passed, and they managed to spend ten years together, facing many of life's obstacles. Radva had now become ten years old and had gone through all the struggles. 

Adam and Radva had grown close, like family, relying on each other to get through each day.
