this is just a small part,

1. class Word {
    
    
     int count;
     String word;
    
     int maxLeftNearWords;
     int maxRightNearWords;
    
     ArrayList<NearWord> nearWords = new ArrayList<NearWord>();
     HashMap<String, NearWord> hm_nearWords = new HashMap<String, NearWord>();
    
     Word(String word, int maxLeftNearWords, int maxRightNearWords) {
        this.word = word;
        count = 1;
2.      this.maxLeftNearWords = maxLeftNearWords;
3.       this.maxRightNearWords = maxRightNearWords;
     }

I have a class that i create once called textAnalyser, that class holds 2 values (and more),
  int maxLeftNearWords;
  int maxRightNearWords;

textAnalyser also holds a ArrayList with the class word you see above, within word i need to know those 2 values that are in textAnalyser, what will be faster, giving it's parent or strore 
 int maxLeftNearWords;
 int maxRightNearWords;
in everyword?
