Born Assassin

Struggling for Space

           Ivan enjoying the sight of his province as he travel through towns and cities by his motorcycle. He in his late thirty and singles no child as far as he could remember. He had no friends  his to call or to talk to but he travel places writing hi thought on his computer. His books were not really famous but still it gives him enough money to spend in his simple way of living. He live in the same city with his parents and siblings but he had his own house and enjoying a life alone. He was once work abroad but he got accident that makes him un able to return to his work in one of a technology company. His agency on the Philippines makes sure he is well and live a decent life. He usually eats on his parents house he buys them supplies regularly. 

         He is about to finish his books and he want to ease his mind before writing the end of it. He finally arrive on his destination a small town from the north where he live. He travel two hours to reach for the spot. There is a lighthouse in the cliff and on the foot of the lighthouse there is a small cabin and a bench under the tree. The light house guard is one of his acquaintance and from time to time message him to visit him. He keep him posted about the best season where there is a huge wave hitting the rocky seawall. The sound of the troubled wave splashing and hitting the rock wall eases his mind and calms his body.

"Perfect season Ivan i have prepared some seafood for us". Dylan said

There are clams and sea shell from the market but of course no fish since Ivan does not like the smell of the fish.

"Wow that would be great tonight. O brought some beers and little stuff on my way here". Ivan said

"Why would you? you are my guest and it i am always glad to see a friend". Dylan said

Ivan smiles at Dylan but he cant remember when did they become friends. The accident in the company abroad makes him forget some of his memory and still struggling to fill the space since then. Everytime he tried he ended up with a bad head ache.

"I'm fine i'm glad i see you too, you know a person who just like me who love the sea and being alone!" He relied to him.

"Hows your recollection? do happen to remember something new?" Dylan asks him.

"No chance i stop trying, i'm just living what and make myself contented of what i have for now. If it happens that i remember something i think id does not matter or i dont think it is something that will change who i am". Ivan said.

"Sure thing man! but i want you to know that i am just a phone away from you". Dylan said.

"Thank Dylan". he replied

Dylan goes inside his cabin house to clean the clams and sea shell he bought earlier.

Ivan started to open his laptop and began to soak himself in the depth of his thought. During that time he feel he is back to the time where his characters live in Medieval time he could hear the waves but totally un aware of his surroundings.

Dylan watch his friend working on his laptop. He is a peaceful man and quite, he is as harmless as a butterfly a very opposite of what he knows of him. Dylan just shakes his head the accident made his friend a different person. The only thing he could do is watch him and protect him as much as he could. Their place is a perfect hideout since no one know them especially his friend who born a loner. He hates people and arguments the two thing he avoided. He knows everything about Ivan but choose to keep his mouth shot. His brain must not be pressure or overthink, he will be healed as long as he calms his mind regularly. He throw a gun to Ivan and without looking Ivan catch the gun and drop the its magazine.

"Such a reflex by a table tennis player" Dylan said but deep inside he enjoy it his friend his partner still has it.

"I dont know but my hands has incredible reflexes. My eyes are sharper and the other day a car is about to hit me but from behind my body move as if i see it coming. I stood on it hood but the driver maneuvered sideways to drop me off from the front hood of his car so i just jump and rolled to the ground like it is natural to me. The car went away when people start approaching and help me. It amaze me how my body move like that, i dont even remember that i went in any martial arts school, my parents cant afford that". Ivan tells Dylan who seems shock
