2. Anecdote

Arya

I am Arya Montez John, the youngest child of John's household. I am only 22 years old. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering. I love the machines. I like to fix material and make new things. Even I built my motorbike on my own. I used old body parts of my father's old motorbike and bought some new stuff and paints to make it perfect.

I have an elder brother, Ryan, only two years older than me, who is now a successful commercial pilot. He said he wanted to try for air-force after gaining some years of experience. My parents and I support him and encourage him to go for it.

Our parents were both in the army. They always stayed far away from us for their job. We never argued over it, instead we support them from our childhood. Our parents met in some camp while training, our father was a senior of our mother back then. They kind of hit that of and became friends to lovers and later got married.

Our parents are very strict. Obedience and discipline are everything to them. They taught us how to shoot the target instantly and also trained us in kick-boxing, martial art, and other military stuff. We learned eagerly. Even they kicked us out from bed early in the morning and forced us to take five laps and push-ups. We had to complete our task before breakfast at seven o'clock.

Father forced us to take swimming and kung-fu lessons from the nearby institute. They always told us to learn everything before time who knows what situation we came across. Our parents are open-minded and strict at the same time. They never forced us to follow their path in the army.

They forced us to keep certified guns and other defensive stuff with us for safety. We hide those in our vehicle and chloroform and needles are kept hidden in the wristwatch and our locket. We can always knock our attackers using our skills but it is always better to keep those with us. It is better to safe than sorry.

Unfortunate things happen, which can affect our life thoroughly. Two years ago, our father lost his life to save our country from terrorists. We became devastated. But the mother kept her head high and calm. She said we should feel proud of our father, he used to tell us never to let a teardrop for him if the time comes, always remember that life is bound to end sooner or later, we need to save our country and people from evils first.

Our mother held our family and her job gracefully at that time. We vowed to follow our mother's steps and stop mopping about our loss. And we did it. Now our mother is in Newyork, West Point military camp, to train the new trainees. She informed us that she would take her to leave after two years finally. We are happy with her decision by the way.

I am an introvert. I like privacy. I don't like it when people tried to make a conversation. In college, I got barely two friends. We are different from each other. They are my teammates. They are Zack and Ethan. Zach is a Geek and an underground boxing champion. Where Ethan is a typical bad boy, he is a racer and also came from a wealthy family, carries a rebellious persona. Where I'm a badass nerd cum tomboy with a dark hoodie. I wore big glasses and have two visible tattoos on the neck and right wrist. I got piercings as well.

Students from seniors to juniors, they all fear us for some unknown reason. Well, whenever we three are together, we kind of emit a sinister aura. Despite that, we have great bonding. We know each other from our preschool. Ethan introduced me to his racing world. He encouraged me to take part in underground racing events. It's been over a year I am participating in motorbike street racing events where Ethan takes part in car racing. Zack isn't into racing but boxing.

Back to the present, I am living alone in Canada, Toronto and here I am studying a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanics. My elder brother Ryan is not around for his job, he has to travel around the world all the time. He owns a Porsche which I am using with free will. He doesn't mind though. As I mentioned before, we are all faithful to each other.

Here go a few things which I despise the most. One I don't like gossiping. I prefer to stay away from the glamorous world. And the second thing is, I don't like to be intimidated. I don't give a damn. I would rather throw a fit before thinking about the consequences. Not that I avoid trouble. I am pretty optimistic. I am born to fight and survive.

About my love life, I am single, prefer to be a loner. I love my family and adore my friends. That's it. I don't need a new responsibility on my shoulder. I like the way I am.
