The Playful Assassin

Prologue

***

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyare. Malabo ang lahat. F*cksh*t! I didn't even know her name.

What's clear is, my head aches. Damn! Hard pangs on my head. Geez. What the hell happened?

I tried to recall what happened, but, amp*ta! Wala talaga akong maalala. Hindi pa naman ako nagkaganito noon ah!

I searched for my wallet and there! Halos masuntok ko ang sarili ko. How could you be so careless Rio Maniago Alcantara? You're a f*cking Maniago, then this? Oh hell!

I quickly searched for my shirt then leave. T*ngina lang! Bakit ba ako nag aalala eh sanay naman ako sa ganoong bagay?

"One coffee, black, no sugar, no cream." Dire diretso kong order sa counter ng café. I don't hella care kung ano bang amoy ko. What matters right now is, kailangan kong magising.

"Sir, wala po talagang sugar?" The clerk asked. Geez. What? What's wrong? Anong masama sa pag inom ng kapeng walang asukal? Sanay ako. Hindi naman ganun kapait eh.

"One coffee, black, no sugar, no cream. Now, do I need to repeat that for the third time?" Pinagtaasan ko sya ng kilay. Ke aga aga panira sya ng araw. Tsk.

Naghanap ako ng mapupwestuhan, and I just found myself sitting near the window. I just love this scene. Drinking coffee in the morning, watching peoples go by.

Ganito naman lage, after a wild, happy night, kinabukasan natatagpuan ko pa rin ang sarili ko, thinking of her. Tss. For how long? Kelan ba sya babalik? Aba! Naiinip din naman ako noh!

Kung pwede nga lang sa eroplano pa lang pakakasalan ko na sya eh. But no. I have to settle down alot of things bago ko sya tuluyang makuha. Malaki ang galit nya sa akin. And I know, I need to erase those.

Ayoko naman na sundan sya, tsk. Mamumukha akong kaawa awa nun. Desperate? No way! Sa gwapo kong 'to? Ewan ko ba, I'm not yet decided. Hindi pa rin ako ganoon kakumbinsido that she's the right girl for me.

Yeah, f*ck! I love her of course! But the thing is, I might just hurt her. I am a flirty person, I admit that. Marami akong babae, flings or what they call such. Isa pa lalake ako, madali akong magsawa. Sobra sobra ko na syang nasaktan, at ayoko nang dagdagan pa yun.

I just want to play my games, and girls are my favorite toys. Masaya silang paglaruan at paikutin. A cycle ika nga. Flirt with them, sweet talks, f*ck them then leave them. Easy as one, two and three. But what I hate the most about girls is, they're too clingy.

F*ck them tonight, tomorrow they'll chase you. I don't want serious relationship. That's sh*t, you know.

"R-Rio?! Rio Maniago?!" Muntikan ko nang maibuga ang kapeng iniinom ko sa mukha ng babae sa harapan ko. Tss. Ang tinis ng boses nya. Is she planning to break my eardrums?!

"Uhh. I'm sorry, but, do I know you?" I check her out. She's pretty. An hour glass girl. Pero wala ata ako sa mood magkama ng ganitong kaaga. She's wearing a fitted black tube dress, halos ipagduldulan nya pa sa akin ang hinaharap nya. As much as I want to grab those mountains, I don't feel like. Ewan!

"Aww. You forgot me na. It's me Tracey." She said as she pout her lips. Tracey? Based on my memory, hindi ko sya kilala. Oh well, maybe isa sya sa mga napaligaya ko na. I smiled on that thought. I'm such a great man. Kaya kong paligayahin ang kahit sinong babae.

"Oh no babe, of course not. But as much as I want to talk to you, I'm sorry I can't. Marami pa akong aasikasuhin." I stood up and took a last shot of my coffee. Bahagya akong lumapit sa kanya and gave her a peck on her lips. After then, I winked at her and started to walk away.

"But--

"Gotta go!" I waved my hand backwards. Easy. Of course. Girls love sweet words, sweet lies. Tsk.

Tuluyan na akong lumabas ng café at kumuha ng taxi. My car, sigurado akong nasa bar yun. I'll look for it later, for now, I want to sleep and relax.

Nakakainis talaga sya! Swear, kapag nakabalik ako, ang unang una kong gagawin is kick his balls! Ang walang hiyang lalakeng yun!

Habang hirap na hirap ako rito sa Canada, aba't sya palandi landi lang.
