He's My Spy

Prologue

PROLOGUE

"Dad," I called. He's standing and watching the breath taking view of manila through the floor-to-ceilling glass wall of his office.

"Son!" sabay lahad niya ng mga braso niya habang papalapit sakin.

Tss... I'm not a child anymore para yakapin niya. I step backward kaya huminto siya. Buti naman naiintindihan niya ang body language ko.

"What is it, son? I hope you have a good news regarding your girlfriend?" he smirked.

Sabi na nga ba eh. He's treating me good dahil alam niyang may mapapakinabangan siya sakin.

"We're done, dad," napabuntong hininga ako bigla nang maalala ko siya. Sh*t! I can vividly remember her treachery! Niloko niya ako.

Nagulat nalang ako nang biglang may kumalabog at nakita kong may kaunting crack ang table ni dad at nakadikit pa dun ang kamao niya. I looked at him. He's scowling at me. I took a gulp. Mas malala pa pala ito sa ineexpect ko.

"What did you say?" he said through gritted teeth at hinawakan agad ako sa kwelyo.

Bakit ba galit na galit ang tandang 'to? Ano bang meron sa babaeng yun? May gusto ba siya dun? Eh di sa kanya na. Tss.

"I said I broke up with her." I said cooly. "Ano, masaya ka na--" nagulat nalang ako nang suntukin niya ako dahilan para sumalampak ako sa sahig.

Shit! Ano bang problema niya? It's just a girl! Tumayo ako habang pinupunasan ko ang gilid ng labi ko gamit ang right thumb ko. F*ck. It's bleeding.

"Are you out of your mind?" bigla niyang sinipa ang office table niya pero hindi ito natumba. Ano bang nangyayari sa matandang 'to? "Gamitin mo nga yang utak mo, Ethan! Malaki ang impluwensiya ng pamilya nila at gusto kong magkaroon ng ugnayan ang pamilya nila sa atin."

I just stared at him impassively. So that's the reason. Kaya pala he gave his full support to me nung nanliligaw palang ako.

"So now you know the possible concequencess of what you have done."

"Yes, dad, I know." I said, still expressionless, "But I.don't.care." I mouthed to him.

I don't know why but he smirked at me. Ano bang iniisip ng huklubang ito?

"You really are my stubborn son," he said slyly then sit on his chair ang looked at me intenly, his elbow is on his table and his chin is resting on his knuckles. "Now here's what we're going to do. Make her your girlfriend again--"

"What?" I shouted in disbelief, "Dad, are you out of your mind? She betrayed me!"

"Yes, Ethan, I'm out of my mind." sumandal siya sa upuan niya and he crossed his legs: right ankle to his left knee. "I don't care whether she betrayed you or not. Do as you're told, Ethan."

"No, dad! I don't want to eat my pride over that girl!" I growl pero mukhang hindi niya ako papakinggan.

He smiled mysteriously at me then said, "Well, actually, that's the first option."

"What? First option?" I frowned.

"Yes, my dear son." he smiled at me sweetly. Ano ba! Pwede bang huwag siyang umaktong mabait dahil hindi naman bagay. Tumayo siya at pumunta sa drawer niya kung saan niya nilalagay ang mga files ng mga pinapa-embistigahan niya.

Ano na naman ba ang gagawin niyang kalokohan? Huwag niyang sabihing idadamay niya pa ako?

"If you don't want to do the first option," he handed me the folder, "Here's the second option. I want you to spy that person."

When I open the folder, my mouth drops open.

"Dad! This is ridiculous!" no, I don't think I can do this too! "This girl is so irritating--such a crazy girl, Dad!"

"I don't care what she is, Ethan, but she also has a very rich and influencial family and of course we both know that you're in the same university." then he gave me a triumphant smile. "So choose, son. Which of the two? The first one wherein you'll have to chew your pride or the second option which you will just spy her?"

"No! Of course I'm not going to choose because I don't want to do them!" I threw the folder to his desk and walked out from his office.

But before I could shut the door, I heard him said, "Let's see kung hanggang saan tatagal ang pagkatigas ng ulo mo." then he laughed.

Tss.. Such a crazy man.
