My Amnesiac Assassin

Chapter 2: The Amnesiac

ARTEMIS LARCENA

Nang matapos akong kumain ay dumiretso agad ako sa guest room habang dala ang tray na may pagkain at gamot. My doctor texted me the medicine prescription for that guy kaya naman inutusan ko si Addie kanina na bumili ng mga gamot. Noong una, kinukulit niya pa ako kung para kanino 'yon pero nang samaan ko siya ng tingin ay tumahimik din naman siya. She always listens to what I say and that's one of the things that I like about her.

Nang buksan ko na ang pinto ng guest room ay sumalubong sa 'kin ang tingin ng taong nakaupo sa kama. He looked straight into my eyes with an expressionless face while sitting motionlessly on the bed.

"Here. I brought food." I said. Inilagay ko ang tray sa side table at umatras ako para sumandal sa pader. I folded my arms while meeting his gaze.

"Eat." I commanded when he just looked at the tray.

Walang imik na kinuha niya ang tray at nagsimula nang kumain habang ako naman ay nakatingin lang sa kanya. It's probably uncomfortable to eat when someone's watching you, but this is actually a way for me to not regret helping him.

Habang kumakain siya ay sinusuyod ko nang tingin ang katawan niya. From his dark, soft looking hair, to his well-sculpted face. Medyo nagtagal akong tumingin sa mukha niya. How can someone as handsome as him not become famous in the showbiz world?

His face exudes freshness. Hindi nakakaumay titigan ang mukha niya. Ang hahaba ng pilik mata at ang kapal ng kilay niya. Sandali naman akong napatingin sa ibabang parte ng katawan niya.

I wonder if that part if that part is also thick...with hair.

Before my thoughts wander somewhere else, ibinalik ko na ulit ang tingin ko sa mukha niya. He looks half japanese and half american. I wonder if he can understand Filipino language?

After staring at his face for almost five minutes, my eyes automatically went lower. My line of sight slowly traveled down to his naked upper body; from his chest which has a barcode tattoo, then to his abs and lastly to his pelvis.

Feeling ko tumutulo na yung laway ko dahil sa nakikita ko ngayon.

"9/10." I mumbled. That's how I would rate him, overall.

Napakunot ako ng noo nang may mapansin ako. Why didn't I notice that earlier?

There's a familiar tattoo located on the right side of his pelvis. Matapos niyang kumain ay inilapag niya ulit ang tray sa side table pagkatapos ay pinunasan ang labi niya.

Lumapit ako sa kanya. I slightly pulled down the trousers he's wearing to fully reveal the tattoo without any ounce of hesitation.

"You must have a liking for tattoos, huh." The tattoos placed on his body have different meanings. The barcode placed on his chest symbolizes that he's part of the Camorra Mafia's lab rats while the unique serpent tattoo on his hip bone is an insignia of a famous organization of assassins. I've worked with them in the past so I know a lot of things about them.

Of course, those tattoos could be fake but I'm certain that they're not. Sa tagal kong natatrabaho sa organisasyon, alam ko na kung totoo ba ang insignia sa katawan ng isang tao o hindi.

Bumalik na ako sa pagkakasandal sa pader. I crossed my arms while submerging deep into my own thoughts.

But if he really is one of those assassins, then why does he have that barcode on his chest?

"Puh..." I raised an eyebrow when he made a sound for the first time.

"What? Spit it out." I was also curious about what he's going to say.
