Mohammed was heading to school, but this time he truly wanted to change. He was tired of the weak life he had been living. When he felt a bit stronger, his determination to become stronger decreased, but now, after this problem, Mohammed's resolve returned, stronger than ever. This time, he wanted to become the strongest without a doubt. Mohammed entered the classroom after seeing his results, which were somewhat good, but he was not satisfied. He promised himself that he would change for the better.
After school, Mohammed went to the boxing hall and told his coach that he wanted to increase the difficulty of the training.
Coach: Why would you want to increase the difficulty?
Mohammed: Simply because I want to become stronger. Please, coach, help me. I will do whatever you want.
Coach: Alright, from now on, your training program will change. This includes your sleep schedule and changing the foods you eat to a healthy diet. Be prepared. I won't go easy on you. I don't like those who talk too much. I prefer those who work more.
Mohammed started preparing himself seriously. He began his physical training and also focused on his studies. Mohammed wanted to change himself completely, not just in terms of strength. Meanwhile, Osama focused on his studies and started training. He organized his time well and drastically changed his lifestyle because he was tired of weakness and feeling inferior. The days passed with Mohammed and Osama working hard to achieve good results and not disappoint their friend.
Two weeks later, the winter break came. The coach decided to take his student to a training center in a nearby mountain close to the city.
Coach: Come on, run faster! Get up, no time to waste! We're here to work!
The coach trained his student strictly, and everyone knew that this break was meant for training only. But then a problem arose. A gang wanted to steal things from the boxing hall members. After a while, the gang members released their dogs on the students. The trainees tried to fight them off with words, but one of the gang members sneaked in and hit Mohammed on the head. Mohammed fell unconscious, and no one realized what had happened to him since he collapsed without uttering a word.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gang members withdrew from confronting the students. As everyone celebrated, the supervisors started calling out the students' names. When they reached Mohammed's name, no one responded. The supervisor kept calling Mohammed's name but got no answer. Then, at that moment, it was realized that he was missing. The supervisor quickly alerted the coach.
Supervisor: Coach, all the students are here, but there's a problem.
Coach: What's the problem?
Supervisor: Coach, Mohammed is missing, and I think the gang members kidnapped him.
Coach: I was shocked that Mohammed was kidnapped. Hurry up, call the police! This is an emergency!
After a while, the police arrived, and the head of the police team came to investigate the attempted kidnapping.
Police Chief: What happened? How did they kidnap the boy?
Coach: We were training when the gang attacked us.
Police Chief: Tell me everything that happened in the smallest detail. Don't leave anything out.
Coach: Alright.
And so, the police continued their investigation while the gang members had kidnapped Mohammed. When Mohammed woke up, he found himself tightly bound in a room. He felt scared and didn't know what would happen to him.
Gang Leader: So, boy, who are you, and who is your father?
Mohammed: (Fearfully) My name is Mohammed, and my father's name is "Alex."
Gang Leader: Your father is a foreigner, seems very rich. Looks like we'll become rich, guys. We'll exchange him for a lot of money, ha ha ha. But tell me, who do you think is stronger, me or your father?
Mohammed: If I tell you, you won't get angry or beat me, right?
Gang Leader: Don't be afraid, I won't hit you.
Mohammed: (Fearfully) My mom told me my dad is stronger than 100 well-trained men, and also, my mom is very strong, even though she's always kind, but I can say she's extremely strong.
Gang Leader: What did you say? Your dad is stronger than 100 trained men, and your mom is stronger than us? And why do you think that? You just said that your mom is very kind.
Mohammed: I know, but my mom is very strong. I feel safe when I'm around her.
Gang Leader: Well, we'll see if what you're saying is true. But don't forget, we are a gang with many armed men.
Mohammed: (Fearfully) Please, don't hurt my family. I haven't done anything to you.
Gang Leader: We just want money, but if they act violently, we'll kill your whole family.
And so, everyone left, leaving Mohammed alone in that dark room, crying in fear for himself and his family.
After the incident, the coach and the students returned with the police to the city. All the students went back to their families, except for Mohammed, who did not return.
The mother didn't know anything. While she was cooking dinner, waiting for Mohammed to come home so they could all eat together, she received a phone call.
Coach: Is this Mohammed's mother?
Mother: Yes, who is this?
Coach: I am Mohammed's coach.
Mother: Why didn't you call me earlier? Where is Mohammed? Why is he late?
Coach: That's why I called you. While we were training, Mohammed was kidnapped by the gang, and all the police are looking for him.
Mother: How did they kidnap him? You were with him! What were you doing when my son was kidnapped? If anything happens to him, you will all regret it. Where are you now? I'll visit you immediately.
Coach: I'm very far. I'm in the neighboring city.
Mother: I didn't ask you where you are. Tell me what I should do. Alright, I'm coming. Wait for me.
Coach: Alright.
Mother: (To herself) Darling, I'm going to ask you two questions, and the fate of this world depends on your answers. And I know you can hear me well.
Mother: Is my son still alive?
Father: Yes.
Mother: Where is he?
Father: He's in the neighboring city in one of the buildings near the mountains. It's known to be filled with armed gang members.
Mother: Alright, thank you, darling.
Father: He's my son, why are you thanking me? And he's fine, don't worry.
Lily (Mohammed's younger sister): Mom, who are you talking to?
Mother: I was just talking to myself.
Mother: Darling, I'm leaving. My daughter is under your care, and there's no need to remind you of what will happen if anything happens to her.
Father: Of course, my daughter. As long as she's alive, no one will even touch a hair on her.
Mother: Alright.
Then, the mother left the house, and Mohammed wasn't wrong in his assumption. His mother was very strong. She didn't take more than five minutes to reach the other city. She went straight to the coach first to avoid drawing attention from everyone wondering how she knew where her son was, especially since the police hadn't figured it out. She went to the police station and met the coach there.
Mother: Her eyes clearly filled with anger and fear for her son. She quickly greeted them. "Hello, I'm Mohammed's mother, my name is Juliana. Please, tell me everything that happened briefly." The coach explained everything that happened.
Mother: How could they kidnap my son in front of everyone? Why weren't there any guards? Tell me! (She yelled at the coach).
Police Chief: Please, mind your words. We know you're worried about your son, but show some respect. You're in a police station.
Mother: How can I respect someone who couldn't even protect my son? And what station are you talking about? You're all failures! You couldn't even save my son!
Police Chief: Watch your words or I'll have to remove you by force.
Mother: (Getting angrier) You'll regret it if anything happens to my son. You'll wish for death when it's too late. (Then she left).
Police Chief: Damn, she's terrifying. I almost feel sorry for the gang members.
Coach: Yes, she's dangerous. I guarantee you that if we tried to remove her by force, she would crush us easily. It seems like Mohammed's background is not simple. I'm getting more excited to know who Mohammed really is, where he came from, and what he is.
