Confessions of a Playboy

Chapter 1- The 'Lady-Killer'

Chapter 1

——

Another day at the mall, kasama ang isang magandang dalaga na mahigpit na naka-akbay sa'kin. How can I blame her? Kung ganito ba naman ka-gwapo ang kasama mo,na pinagtitinginan ng ibang mga babae, panigurado maging over-protective ka.

And, no, she's not my girlfriend. Fling lang siya. 'Flavor of the month', kung baga, and in this case, 'flavor of the week', kasi balak kong palitan na ulit 'to. Nakakabagot na 'tong kasama eh, walang thrill.

"Honey," tawag niya, "Saan na tayo pupunta?"

"Doon sa favorite café natin, babe." sagot ko, "I'm gonna tell you something important."

"Ha? Anong sasabihin mo, hon?"

"Mamaya na lang sa café, okay?" ,tugon ko as I gently pinched her cheeks. Ngumiti siya sa'kin. Sayang, ang cute mo pa naman, kaso ang boring mo eh, kaya...well.

Pagdating sa café, we ordered our usual drinks, and we sat down on our usual place.

"So, honey, ano nga pala yung sasabihin mo sa'kin?"

I looked at her as I drank my coffee. Pagtapos ko, I placed it on the table and moved closer to her.

"Well, babe, I bought you here to say that..." I trailed my voice off,

"Ano yun?"

"I'm breaking up with you."

She stared at me, the smile in her face fading away. Gulat na gulat siya, and I can't blame her. Kahit sino din naman magugulat kung biglang makipag-break ang boyfriend mo ng biglaan. Her eyes widened and I can see tears forming.

But, no, hindi ako naawa. Sanay na 'ko sa ganitong scenario; women crying and chasing after me.

"W-what? Pero, kanina lang, okay tayo, honey, 'di ba?" Paiyak niyang sinabi sa'kin, "May ginawa ba 'kong mali?"

"No, it's not you, it's me. I just don't want to be tied up anymore."

"Pero, paano na lang yung promise mo sa'kin na 'di mo ako iiwan?"

"Ah, yun ba?" I said, and chuckled, "Oh, babe, you're so naive. You know promises mean nothing to me. Sa simula pa lang, alam mo na kung anong klaseng lalake ako, 'di ba? At sabi mo okay lang sa'yo yun."

Unti-unti nang lumalabas ang luha niya, parang malapit na nga siyang humagulgol eh.

"Pero, kasi, akala 'ko kaya kitang baguhin, eh. Please, honey, don't leave me, I love you so much!" Pagmamakaawa niya, at hinawakan niya ang kamay ko ng mahigpit.

Ngumiti ako, "Babe, you know, no one could ever change me. Ever." Sabi ko sa kanya, at bumitiw ako sa pagkakahawak niya.

"You're a great girl, I know. Maganda ka, mayaman, may pinag-aralan, and I'm sure you'll find someone better than me. Goodbye~" I said as I stood up, kissed her cheek, and left.

I walked out of the café nonchalantly. It feels so great to be free again! Matawagan nga yung tropa 'ko.

I took out my phone and dialed my friend's number.

*Phone rings*

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ren, what's up?"

"Eto, tending the bar, as usual. Ikaw, kamusta na kayo ng girlfriend mo?"

"Ah, I broke up with her."

"WHAT?! Again? That's the third time this month, pre! 'Di ka pa ba nagsasawa?"

"What, I'm just having fun, Ren, you should try it sometimes."

"'Wag mo akong itulad sa'yo pre, I have better things to do. By the way, may kailangan ka ba?"

"Oo, I need to get my files, paki-send na lang via email. Tsaka, ihanap mo na rin ako ng bagong chick sa bar mo, haha."

"Screw yourself, pre. Ikaw mag-hanap ng chicks mo, haha. Sige, I'll send them later."

"Ge, bye."

After calling I placed my phone inside my pocket and started wandering around the mall aimlessly. Wala naman akong gagawin today, tsaka I have no girlfriend to take care of, anyway.

Oh, I haven't introduced myself, right? How rude of me. I am Julius Marshall Dizon, 23 years of age. Not to brag, but I'm handsome, rich, smart, and pretty much awesome. Short brown hair and hazel eyes, 5'6 ang height, at...well, yun lang muna. ;)

Naglakad-lakad ako sa mall, and saw some girls eyeing me. Well, what can I do? Mahirap talagang itago ang kagwapuhan eh.

I flashed a wink and smiled at them, then proceeded to walk again. Then suddenly,

*THUD*

"Owww....What the heck?" The other person exclaimed, "Pwede ba, 'wag kang humarang sa daanan!"

What the— Aba, at siya pa ang galit?!

"Excuse me, pero ikaw ang may kasalanan, 'no. You weren't paying attention to where you're going." Sagot ko. Tinignan ko siya; 'di lang masyadong halata, but I know it's a girl. Maliit, may magulong buhok na naka-ponytail, at ang weird ng suot niya; white polo sa loob ng black cardigan at jeans na mukhang kupas na. Tae, taga-saang probinsya ba 'to?!

She looked at me furiously, "Che! Manahimik ka na lang! Pahara-hara kasi, nakakainis!" She said as she stomped away. Good riddance, napaka-antipatiko ng babaeng yun, kala mo maganda. Nasira tuloy good mood ko.

But....it's kinda funny. She looks familiar, I guess? Oh well, mahirap kasing maalala ang mga not-so-beautiful girls.

Oh, may text pala ako.

[Yo, Jules, Rence 'to. otw sa bar ni Ren, punta ka ha?]

Ha, ako pa ba? Makakahanap ako ng bagong ka-fling doon, kaya pupunta ako >:D

I replied, [Ge, i'll be there asap.]

I placed my phone back in my pocket and went to the parking lot to get my car.

And I have a feeling this night's going to be fun.
