Protecting The President's Nephew

Introduction

Hi. My name is Camelia Louise Lim. I'm a 3rd-year medical student.

My dad works in an office. My mom is a nurse. My brother is still in high school and he is younger than me.

We look like a normal family from the outside but as we all know, every family has its secrets right?

Right now, papunta ako sa bahay kasi tinawagan ako ni papa. May ipapagawa daw siya sa akin and it is urgent.

Nang makapunta ako sa bahay, dumiretso ako sa office niya at kumatok sa pinto.

"Come in," he said. Pumasok naman ako at tumayo sa harap ng table.

Binuksan ni papa yung drawer niya at may kinuha na brown envelope. Inabot niya sakin yon. Kinuha ko naman yon at tiningnan ang laman.

Pictures ng isang lalaki na parang kaedad ko lang.

"That is Mr. Samuels' son. Do you know him?" he asked. I nod my head sideways as an answer.

"He is the President's brother. Gusto niya na bantayan ko din ang kapatid niya at ang pamilya nito kahit pa hindi sila magkasundo. He still wants his brother and his family to be safe despite of them not being on good terms," he explained.

"So? What does it have to do with me?" I asked.

"Since I am the one assigned to protect and guard the President, I won't be able to do that. I already assigned someone to guard his brother and his family. But," he paused and pointed at the picture, "that young man right there separated from them. My friend can't be in two places at once so I want you, to guard and protect that man." he said.

My eyes widened in shock and looked at him.

"Ha? Ako? But why me? I'm not your agent, I'm not a professional. How am I going to protect this man? We're not even schoolmates!" I protested.

"This is why you are going to have to transfer schools. You are going to transfer to the school where he belongs. And besides, I know you can protect him because I already trained you myself. I taught you all the skills you are going to need to do this mission. All you have to do is to watch and protect him at all costs. He must never know that you are guarding him because I heard that he doesn't like that," he said. I frowned in response.

"Ikaw na bahala kung paano mo siya ma poprotektahan. Do whatever it takes to protect him. Okay?" he said. I just nodded in response since I know I can't say no to him, he is my dad after all.

He smiled and stood up to stand beside me. He tapped my shoulder and said, "I know you can do it, hija. I believe in you."

He went back to his seat and sat down. "Don't forget to report to me every day okay?" he said and I nodded.

Sinenyasan niya ako na pwede na akong umalis kaya umalis na ako palabas ng office niya.

Did I mention that every family has its secrets? Well, ours is this.

My dad is a secret agent. He is the one in charge of keeping our President and his family safe and sound. We kept it from our neighbors and told them that he is just a mere office man.

I have participated in so many medical missions already, but it looks like this one is going to be a new and unusual mission for me.
