Still Protecting You (Protectors Diary #1)

Chapter 2.1

Mr. D's pov; ***

The new protector trainee just arrived. I ask one of my staff to call the kid na. "Sir. David, Good Morning po" he greeted. "Morning, Where's your parents ?" I asked him while reading his papers.

"Hinatid lang po nila ako sir. They have agendas this week po"

"Ok.. But you can't start training without their permission.. You'll be watching the others do their training lang if ever hindi ko pa sila makausap." I explained to him, He can start classes naman na but trainings... Nahh I need to hear his parents approval first before letting him to practice his skills.

"Umm.. Sir.. My parents wants me to give you this" he said while handling me over a paper, I took the paper and opened it.. Its a letter containing his parents consent.

{THE LETTER}

~~~~

PARENTS CONSENT

To whom it may concern: I hereby allow my son Rhyzo Nathan Lopez to join and finally start his YSO training.

Aleiya & Ryan Lopez

"Rh- What's your name again?"

"Rhyzo Nathan Lopez po sir." he exclaimed and added "But you can call me Nate po". What a nice name..

"Take a sit, I'll just read this letter from your parents." I commanded. "Suit your self"

After reading his parents consent letter I ask him to sit in front of me so I can talk to him.

"Nate please come here and sit in front of me, Let's Talk." I said but he seems nervous when he stood up from the sofa he's sitting on a while ago.

"Your parents already gave consent so you can start your training tomorrow" I exclaimed. "Yes!" he whispered. I can't believe this kids how can they be happy when they can already start training.

"But You need to answer my Questions first"

"Sure sir, Feel free to ask po" he answered.

"Ok, First and foremost, Do you really want to do this or you're just obliged by your parents?" It took him about two minutes before answering the question.

"Yes sir, I really want to be a protector and I'm not obliged by my parents. It's my choice to be one sir. Even though I have doubts about it I still want to try at least I know for the fact that I tried. If I fail some test I'll accept it, It's part of life naman po ehh " he answered with a big smile.

"Ok.. Next question, Are you willing to sacrifice your childhood to be a trainee protector?" He smiled at me and answered without even hesitation.

"Yes sir, I'm willing to sacrifice my childhood to be one. Even though it means that I will have less time to play with my friend from my neighborhood at least I can still make friends here. Being a trainee of YTC ( Youer Training Center and Studying in APS ( Axiallaian Private University ) is a honor and I don't want to waste this opportunity"

"Last Question.. What did your parents told you about joining AAOP [Axiallian Army of Protectors]" I don't usually ask this to kids for their interview but I ask it to him, I'm kinda curious about what they told him. Mainly how did this kid feels invested on being a protector. I mean I also started at a very young age ehh but I don't feel happy about it.

"They told me that being an axiallian protector is a very hard duty. They also told me that it's dangerous. Despite of those description of my parents about being a protector I still dreamt to be one, They say If you really want to then no one can stop you from doing what you like or love. Actually sir when I was 4 I always wanted to be a detective and the closes from being detective is being a protector. My mom tried to stop me but I insisted, I told her na I really want to and she agreed after all din po" he narrated.

Ewan ko sa mga batang 'to ang hirap kaya maging protector hay nako.

When I was a kid my father obliged me to attend trainings even I if I'm not into being a protector. I don't really understand these kids, They always look so happy and invested to be a protector although they already know from the start that It's hard to be one, even Akeeva a young girl, a very innocent young girl. Although Akeeva is just forced to I can see that she's also invested.

"Elaine...Pls Call Akeeva please.." I ordered Elaine, My love-, I mean my secretary...

I saw her walk to the door and shouts "Aki!!" than I heard a voice responding "Yes?" . "Can you please come here darling?!" i shouted back.

Minutes later Akeeva is still not here in my office so I asked Nate to look for her "Nate can you please see if Akeeva is ok?" he nodded and left the room, i followed him after and I saw Nate holding Akeeva's hand like he's trying to help her stand up straight.

"What happened to you Akila?" I asked the girl. "Umm I-i tripped po" she answered. I turned my gaze at someone beside me It's Daniel the boy I adopted 7 years ago,

"Ohh Daniel why are you here?" I asked him but he just smiled at Akeeva foolishly "Dan I'm asking you"

"I just walk by DAD" he said emphasizing the word 'DAD'"and I saw her sitting on the floor, I tried to help her stand up but she's too heavy HAHHAHAHA" what he said is not even funny, I treat him as my own child but I don't tolerate his behavior towards Akeeva. I'll talk to him later. I dont want to embarrass him in front of Nate, He'll be mad at me if so.

"Ok then, Off you go" I said then turned my gaze at the girl Akeeva , "and Akeeva can you walk?" she just shook her head saying no. "Ok Nate?"

"Yes sir?" he replied. "Do you mind if I ask you na alalayan si Akeeva to my office" the boy nodded his head and I went straight to my office.

When I saw that Akeeva is already stable, I left my office to look for Dan.

I saw Daniel training for boxing in his own mini training room. "DANIEL!" I said furiously. "Yes Dad" he responded. "Are you the one responsible for that? Pinatid mo ba si Akeeva ha? "

"Dad chill he's a jerk anyway, Why'd you keep on making panig to her ba?"

"Daniel remember this, YOU ARE NOT MY BIOLOGICAL SON SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR SUPERIOR"

"She's not your daughter din naman dad ahhh"

"Do that again and you'll be punished learn to respect she's younger than you yet you still act like your younger than her GROW UP DANIEL" I said and left the room without listening to his response I don't want to hear any nonsense right now.
