Captivated by a Thief Chapter Ten
After changing clothes, tinali ni Gabriella ang kaniyang mahabang buhok at naghilamos ng mukha sa banyo ng kaniyang kwarto.Her eyes are still hurting dahil sa pepper spray na ginamit sakanya ni Silent Thief. It's itchy, but it's not red or swollen. Hindi kasi ito literal na pepper spray dahil ito mismo ang gumawa ng sarili nitong spray.Silent Thief is not that cold-hearted to use a real pepper spray to a girl, specially, to his wife.Pagkatapos punasan ang mukha gamit ang maliit na twalya ay pumanhik pababa si Gabriella para pumunta sa kusina at kumain.As her request, Ryce indeed cooked Kaldereta for dinner.Habang sabay na kumakain ay pansin nya na sobrang saya ng lalaki. Pinaghila sya nito ng upuan kanina pagkarating nya at inalalayan pa sya nitong umupo. Ito rin mismo ang naglagay ng kanin at ulam sa plato nya. Kahit naguguluhan sa kinikilos ng lalaki ay hinayaan nya lang ito at nagpasalamat.She just sat there and eat silently. Preventing herself to smile kahit na ang totoo ay

It's been already two weeks since Gabriella started living with her husband. Now, she's also back to work. Tumanggap sya ng panibagong misyon dahil dalawang linggo na ang nakalipas simula nang huli silang nagkita ni Silent Thief sa kaniyang apartment. Magmula noon ay hindi na ito muling nagparamdam pa.Sa dalawang linggong nakalipas ay palaging ang asawa nya ang nagluluto ng pagkain nila kaya gusto nyang matuto kung paano gawin iyon para naman hindi ito ang palaging nagluluto."So you finished your mission in less than 20 minutes para magbasa ng libro tungkol sa pag-aaral kung paano magluto? You want to impress your husband that much?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Quel na halatang gusto lang syang asarin."Shut up, Quel." Gabriella hissed.She wants to learn how to cook not because she wants to impress someone—specifically, her husband, but because she just want to learn how to make herself useful sa loob ng bahay."I just want to help at home and that's all." she answered simply.

"I'm sorry for making a mess inside your kitchen. If you're going to give me a punishment, I'll gladly accept it." Paghingi ng pasensya ni Gabriella sa kaniyang asawa habang nakaupo silang dalawa sa harap ng lamesa at tahimik na kumakain.Masarap ang niluto nitong Menudo kaysa sa niluto nya kanina na napakarami ng sabaw. Well, she's still learning. Balang araw ay alam nyang makakaluto rin sya ng masarap na Menudo at iba pang ulam."I didn't think of giving you any punishment, but do you want me to give you one?" Ryce asked habang patuloy parin sa pagsubo ng pagkain.Saglit na napaisip si Gabriella at maya-maya'y dalawang beses na tumango."Yes. You're also the one who cleaned the mess, so I really think I deserve a punishment."Nagsalin ng isang baso ng tubig si Ryce at ininom ito ng isahan bago sya muling binalingan ng tingin."Then how about bringing me lunch tomorrow?" Ryce suggested."You mean, on your workplace?""Yes, on my workplace."Gabriella's forehead creased."Akala ko ba n

The next day...A loud thud was heard after Gabriella shut the door of Quel's office."Totoo bang nagparamdam na ulit si Silent Thief?" tanong nya pagkalapit sa lamesa ng kaibigan.Ramdam ni Quel ang pagmamadali nito kaya bago sumagot ay hinayaan nya muna itong kumalma."Yeah. Just like before, he hacked the police computer data to tell his next target. The warning is authentic because there's a blue roses beside it. But I really think that he already gave up on the painting because his next target now is a jewel."Gabriella smirked. It doesn't matter if Silent Thief has a new target. As long as she can catch him with her own hands, she doesn't mind what he's going to steal next. She's been waiting for this day to come. She's been waiting for Silent Thief to make a move again.This time, she would make sure to catch him. Pinapangako nyang huhulihin nya ito gamit ang sariling kamay nya.##A diamond necklace that is worth million of dollars. Ito ang bagong target ni Silent Thief.Dahil

Gabriella gave the diamond necklace back to its owner at ikinuwento nya dito ang nangyari. Of course, she didn't tell everything lalo na ang ginawa sakaniya ni Silent Thief.Mabuti nalang at hindi naman ito nagalit na nakatakas ang magnanakaw dahil sakaniya. Ang mas mabuti daw ay hindi nito nanakaw ang totoong kwintas at iyon ay dahil sa naisip nyang plano.Lamapit sya sa anak nitong kambal at lumuhod sa harap ng batang babae na nakausap nya kanina.Nahihiya syang magsalita nung una pero ginawa nya parin nang makitang hinihintay nito ang sasabihin nya."I-I'm sorry... Hindi ko nabawi mula sa magnanakaw yung kwintas mo..." paghingi nya ng tawad.It might just be a replica, but it's still the girl's necklace.Saglit syang tinignan ng batang babae pagkatapos ay ngumiti ito at agad syang niyakap ng mahigpit. She got taken aback because of the hug, but she still manage to move and hug the girl back."Tinupad nyo po ang promise mo saakin na hindi mo hahayaang manakaw ang kwintas ni mommy ka

a week laterNagyaya sina Celeste at Fiona na maglaro ng golf kasama sina Gabriella at Ryce. Agad na tinanggihan ni Gabriella ang inbitasyon ng ina pero nang malamang sasama ang asawa ay pumayag rin sya.She doesn't know how to play golf. She only played golf games on her phone before but she never get to try playing golf in real life so Ryce volunteered to teach her.Pagkatapos i-explain sakanya ng asawa ang basic rules ay tinuruan naman siya nito sa pag set up ng kaniyang swing.1) Stand with your knees and hips slightly bent. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart, with your weight evenly distributed between the centers of your feet, not your toes or heels. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at your hips so the end of your club is reaching the ground where you’ll be hitting the ball.2) Bring your club back and parallel to the ground first. When lifting the club, the order from out to in should go clubhead, hands, arms, shoulders, and hips. Your dominant arm should stay

Quel and Ryce continued to drink.The thoughts that Gabriella likes him continued to echoed on his mind. Si Quel ang unang nalasing sa kanilang dalawa at panay ang pagkukuwento nito tungkol sa kaniyang kaibigan."Gabriella is my childhood friend. We're really close. Pero mas gusto nyang naglalaro ng mobile games mag-isa kesa makipaglaro saamin ng pinsan nyang si Jewel sa labas. Alam mo ba, noong minsan namin syang makumbinsi na sumali sa laro namin na tagu-taguan at sya ang naging taya, hindi pa sampung minuto ang nakakalipas na hindi nya kami nahahanap ay umuwi agad sya. Nang tanungin namin kung bakit, sinabi nya na bigla daw syang naboring at inantok. Tapos tinamad din daw syang maghanap saamin kaya iniwan nya kami. Your wife is unbelievable...""Ito pa, noong may nanligaw sakanya na exchanged student from China, nainis sya dahil kahit marunong itong mag English ay panay ang pagkakausap sakanya nito ng Chinese, kaya ayun, kinausap nya ng Spanish. Though I don't think she's aware th

Quel is hurt. Being rejected by Jewel for the second time hurts a lot. But he's not mad at her.Hindi nya kayang magalit dito dahil hindi naman nito kasalanan na nagustuhan nya ang babae.It's his own feelings. He's the one who fell in love with her so he needs to deal with it on his own. He can never get mad at his friend and blame her for hurting his feelings twice.Nanatili si Quel na nakatayo sa labas ng malaking gate habang nakayuko at hindi makagalaw. Hindi sya makakilos dahil sobrang bigat ng nararamdaman nya.But he knew he couldn't stay there forever kaya gamit ang natitira nyang lakas ay kinaya nyang maglakad pabalik sa loob ng kaniyang kotse.Mahina nyang sinara ang pinto at bumuntong hininga bago nagsimulang magmaneho.Instead of driving back home, dumiretsyo sya sa bar kung saan sila nag celebrate noong kaarawan ni Gabriella.It's not fun to drink alone kaya kinuha nya ang kaniyang cellphone at tinawagan ang kaibigan.It took 3 rings before Gabriella answered his call.

It was 4 o'clock and Quel was busy scrolling on his social media account to kill his boredom. When nothing piqued his interest, he searched for Jewel's account and check if she has a recent post—only to find out that his friend has switched her account to private.Quel frowned. 'Bakit?'Ayaw nyang isipin na sya ang dahilan pero mukhang sya nga.'If she won't public her account in a week, I'm gonna delete all of my social media accounts.'Pinatong nya sa counter table ang hawak na selpon at tumayo. Pumunta sya sa kusina ng kaniyang bahay para uminom ng malamig na tubig.He remembered his last conversation with Jewel.Inamin nya dito ang totoong nararamdaman nya but he's already late. Jewel has a boyfriend that she's been dating for 3 years. Maybe he shouldn't have confessed his feelings for her. He doesn't know that she's already taken. But of course, it's not surprising. Jewel has always been popular with men. He tightened the grip on the glass he's holding.Sa t'wing naiisip nya na

Gabriella loves spoiling Niana.Iyon ang napansin ni Ryce sa pagsama sa dalawa dahil kahit anong ituro ng bata ay binibili ng kaniyang asawa na walang pagdadalawang isip.Perhaps, Gabriella already sees that coming kaya isinama sya nito para gawing tagabuhat ng mga pinamili nila.Mag-isang pumunta sa parking lot si Ryce at inilagay sa backseat ang mga paper bag na bitbit para makapagpahinga ang kamay nya.Pagkatapos ay bumalik sya sa loob ng mall at malalaki ang hakbang na naglakad papunta sa pwesto kung saan nya iniwan ang magpinsan kanina.May hawak sina Gabriella at Niana na dalawang malaking popcorn at tatlong juice. They were going to watch a movie together. Malapit ng magsimula ang palabas kaya pumasok silang tatlo sa loob ng sinehan.While watching the show, ayaw syang hatian ni Niana sa hawak nitong malaking popcorn. Umupo ito sa gitna nila dahil ayaw nitong magkatabi sila ng kaniyang asawa.Ryce frowned.He could feel that the kid doesn't like him. Did he do some wrong? Bakit

Ryce opens the gate, walang tao.Sinara nya ulit ang gate at papasok na sana sa bahay nang muling tumunog ang doorbell.He opens the gate once again and his forehead wrinkled when there's none. He frowned. Is someone pranking him?A few seconds later, he felt something hit his head. When he check what's it, he saw a transparent umbrella."I'm here,"Looking down, he blink twice when he saw a kid.Meron itong suot na bagpack at hawak na payong sa isang kamay. Ito ang ginamit nitong pamalo sakanya at ang ginamit nito pamindot sa doorbell dahil hindi iyon abot ng bata."Sino ka?" Ryce asked the kid with a curious look.He doesn't expect any visitor today. At mas lalong hindi nya inaasahan na meron sakanyang bibisitang bata."Is ate Gabriella inside?"Imbes na sagutin nito ang tanong nya ay nagtanong rin ito. 'So si Gabriella pala ang pakay nito dito.'"Yeah, my wife is inside. Pero anong kailangan mo sakanya? Kaano-ano ka ba nya?"Wala naman siguro itong tinatagong anak mula sakaniya 'd

Bandang alas otso y medya, dumating si Quel sa hospital. Hindi daw kasi sumasagot si Gabriella sa mga tawag nya kagabi kaya hindi sya maayos na nakatulog dahil sa sobrang pag-alala sa kaibigan.He called her again this morning, and finally, Gabriella answered and explained to him over the phone what happened and how her target got arrested by the police.She mentioned Jenna's name and told Quel that the woman got shot last night. Nang magtanong kung saang hospital ito dinala ay hindi ito nagdalawang isip na pumunta para bisitahin at kamustahin ang dating kaklase. He even bought flowers for her.Gabriella noticed Jenna's cheeks turning red dahil tanda nyang meron itong gusto kay Quel noon. But Quel was too blind to notice it dahil si Jewel lang ang laging nasa isip nito."I thought you didn't come to the reunion dahil ayaw mo akong makita.""That's not true... I'm just really busy with my work. At saka, ba't mo naman naisip na ayaw kitang makita kaya hindi ako pumunta? Masyado kang mag

Pagkarating sa hospital, agad na inoperahan si Jenna sa operating room, at sa kabutihang palad ay naging maayos naman ito.Panay ang pagpapasalamat ni Gabriella sa doktor na umopera sa kaibigan. When she heard the doctor said that her friend is safe, tila nabunutan ng tinik ang dibdib nya.Nilipat si Jenna sa isang kwarto para maayos na makapagpahinga. Dahil wala na itong pamilya at nag-iisa nalang ito ay naisipan ni Gabriella na huwag umalis doon hanggat sa hindi pa ito gumigising.Pagkasilip kay Jenna sa kwarto at nakita itong payapang natutulog ay naisipan nyang umupo sa mahabang upuan sa labas.Her phone rung, her husband is calling. Sinagot nya ang tawag at kinuwento dito ang nangyari kay Jenna. But she didn't tell him all the details katulad na nakita nya itong mabaril sa mismong harapan nya. Before the end of the call, Ryce told her to wait for him dahil pupunta sya sa hospital para dal'han sya ng damit pamalit.As she waits for her husband to arrive, she stares at the ceiling
