2024-10-29 19:42:56Agent Angel just successfully finished her 23rd mission. Natapos nya ito ng walang pawis at pagod dahil para sakanya, hindi uso ang salitang "mahirap" lalo na pagdating sa paggawa ng misyon.
"Nandito ka ba ulit para humingi ng panibago?" tanong ni Quel, ang kaniyang overseer na itinuturi nya ring isang matalik na kaibigan."Oo sana, pero kung madali lang ulit yan kagaya ng mga nauna kong misyon, ibigay mo nalang sa iba..." she answered bago umupo sa sofa at ipinag-krus ang kaniyang dalawang braso at paa."Iba ang misyon na 'to. Tungkol ito sa magnanakaw na hanggang ngayon ay hirap na hirap hulihin ng mga kapulisan.""Isang magnanakaw?" Agent Angel asked while raising one of her eyebrows."Yup. Kilala sya sa alyas na 'Silent Thief' at ang kanyang mga ninanakaw ay mga mamahaling jewelries at paintings. Huli siyang nakita 5 years ago, pero kagabi ay merong report na natanggap ang mga pulis na bumalik na naman daw ito sa pagnanakaw. Ilang taon na ang nakalipas, pero hindi parin ito mahuli-huli ng kapulisan kaya humihingi ito ng tulong saatin...""Wala ba talagang nakakakilala sa magnanakaw na yan? Wala bang nakakita man lang sa mukha nya?""Sad to say, pero wala. The thief always wear a mask and a white cape. At dahil gabi lang sya kung lumabas, wala talagang nakakakita ng maayos sa mukha nya dahil nga madilim."Quel puts the thief's photo on the table to show it to her. Agent Angel stood up from sofa to look at the photo. Ang tanging nakikita nya lang ay ang kasuotan nito dahil kagaya nga ng sinabi ng kaibigan ay nakasuot ito ng mask.After seeing the photo, Agent Angel suddenly has the urge to unmask that thief's face and catch him using her own hands.Quel handed her a small envelope. Kinuha nya ito at sinuri kung ano ang nasa loob. Meron doong letrato ng mga alahas at paintings na ninakaw nito.One of the jewelry was a necklace that's very familiar to her. Dahil dito ay hindi na sya nagdalawang isip pa at agad na sinabing tinatanggap nya ang misyon."I will expose that thief's face in front of the people and make him apologize publicly. I'll take this mission, Quel." she said.Quel grinned as he have seen it coming—especially when the girl saw one of the jewelries the thief stole. He knew that she wouldn't say no after seeing that. He knew it, because she's his friend.Sinundan nya ng tingin ang kanilang ace-slash-top agent na ngayon ay naglalakad na palabas ng kaniyang opisina.Their top agent vs. Silent thief. Who would win?"Well, this is going to be interesting." Quel whispered to himself before he widened his grin.He knew his friend could ace every mission, but this one is different. However, he would still give his cheers and full support to her.Kaugnay na kabanata
Captivated by a Thief Chapter Two
Silent Thief is not just like an ordinary thief.Bago sya magnakaw ay nagbibigay muna sya ng update sa pulis kung saan at kailan sya magnanakaw sa pamamagitan ng paghack ng computer data nito.His next target would be displayed on their computers' screen with a sketch of blue roses beside the name he's popularly known as—— Silent Thief.Nang marinig na pupunta ito sa Salazar Museum ngayong gabi para nakawin ang painting na isasali sa isang auction ay agad na nag-isip ng plano si Agent Angel para simulan na ang kaniyang misyon.Upang hindi mahalata na iba ang kaniyang pakay doon ay nagsuot sya ng makintab at magarang bistida na hapit na hapit sa kaniyang bewang. Hindi nagtagal ay nagsimula na ang auction para sa mga paintings. Maraming businessman at business woman ang nandoon upang magwaldas ng napakaraming pera para makuha ang painting na gusto nila o kaya naman ay gusto lang magmayabang sa mga kakilala nilang nandoon din.Agent Angel doesn't have any plan of joining the auction at

For the very first time, Gabriella went home from the mission, devastated.Nakatanggap sya ng tawag mula sa agency pero hindi nya ito sinagot dahil pakiramdam nya ay napahiya nya ng sobra ang sarili.She just lost 300 million dollars for a single painting and she also failed to catch the thief.She's so mad and disappointed at herself and she doesn't want to talk to anyone—specially someone from the agency. Siguro ay gagawin nya ito mamaya kapag napakalma nya ng konti ang sarili nya.Pumasok si Gabriella sa banyo ng kaniyang kwarto at nagbabad sa bathtub habang sumisipsip ng red wine sa hawak-hawak nyang wine glasses. She keeps on recalling the events that happened at the museum earlier and remembering it just makes her face look more annoyed.Silent Thief...Naalala nya ang sinabi nitong muli itong babalik para kunin ang painting bago tumalon sa bintana at tumakas. It's as if giving her a warning that she needs to be ready because he's going to visit her anytime.Gabriella's grip on

Isa itong secret agent na ang misyon ay ang hulihin sya at ipakulong.Base sa ibang inpormasyon na nakuha ay ito ang nanalo sa auction ng painting na tinangka nyang nakawin noong isang araw. He researched more about the girl and found out that both of her parents and grandparents are billionaires.He didn't got surprise because she bought the painting using her own money for 300 million dollars.

Pagkalipas ng tatlumpung minuto, merong appointment na kailangang puntahan ang daddy ni Gabriella kaya nauna itong magpaalam sakanila na aalis na.Maya-maya pa ay sunod na nagpaalam ang mommy nya na mag sho-shoppong kasama ang nanay ni Ryce na si Fiona. The man didn't disagree and immediately gave his golden card to his mom. Pagkatapos ay hinalikan nya rin ang noo nito. He reminded them to be careful as Gabriella's mom is the one who'll drive—the two will use Celeste's car because his mom can't drive.Celeste glance at her daughter before winking, making Gabriella rolled her eyes. Kagaya ng ginawa ni Ryce ay pinaalalahan nya rin ito na mag-iingat sa pag drive.Pagkaalis ng magulang nila, sila nalang dalawa ang naiwan."So... Meron ka bang ibang gagawin o pupuntahan? If you are going somewhere, I can drive you there." The man asked Gabriella to break the awkward silence that's starting to build between them."Wala akong ibang gagawin o pupuntahan. Kung meron man, meron naman akong sari

"What?! You're going to get married?! How come, you don't even have a boyfriend?"Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Quel nang ikuwento ni Gabriella sa kaibigan ang deal na nangyari sa pagitan nila ng kaniyang ina.Napatayo ito mula sa kinauupuan at halata sa mukhang hindi nito kayang paniwalaan ang mga narinig."Bakit? Do I need to have a boyfriend first before getting married?" walang emosyong tanong ni Gabriella pabalik."Are you seriously asking me that, Gabriella Pauline? How would you survive a married life if you don't even have any experience in dating?" muli nitong tanong.May punto naman ito. Ni isang beses ay wala pa syang naging nobyo dahil lahat ng mga nanligaw sakaniya noon ay binusted nya. She doesn't have any interest in dating and being in a relationship before dahil bukod sa wala syang oras para gawin iyon ay wala talaga syang nagugustuhan na lalaki. Merong nagpatuloy na manligaw sakanya kahit pa binusted nya ito, pero sumuko rin ito pagkalipas ng apat na taon at sinabin

[flashback~]When she was eight years old, Gabriella prefers to play mobile games than playing with her friend—Quel, and cousin, Jewel outside. Palagi syang niyayaya ng dalawang maglaro pero palagi nya ring tinatanggihan iyon."Riel, sige na, sumali ka na saamin! Bahala ka, kapag hindi ka sumali, sasabihin ko kay mommy na babalik na akong Amerika!" Pananakot sakanya ng pinsan habang niyuyugyog ang dalawang balikat nya.Gabriella didn't bother to look at Jewel because her eyes were focused on the game that she's playing on her mobile phone."Kung babalik kang Amerika, tutulungan kitang mag empake mamaya." seryoso nyang sagot na agad ikinagulat ng pinsan.Hindi napigilang maiyak ni Jewel dahil sa sinabi ni Gabriella.Quel, who was standing beside her cousin immediately comforts Jewel as he doesn't want to see or hear the girl crying."You don't need to be that mean to her, Gab. Gusto mo na ba talagang umuwi si Jewel sa Amerika?" may halong inis na tanong nito."How rude of you. When she

Gabriella heaved a deep sigh before she pressed the door bell on the gate of Ryce's own house.Meron syang dala-dalang spare key sa bag pero hindi nya ito kinuha at naghintay lang na pagbuksan sya ng lalaki.She's going to move here and live with her husband starting from today. She prefers living alone, pero wala syang ibang choice dahil kahit arrange marriage lang ang nangyari, legal parin silang kasal.Pagkalipas ng tatlong minuto, bumukas ang gate ng malaking bahay at nagtatakang mukha ni Ryce ang sumalubong sakanya. The man is wearing a plain white shirt at isang blue shorts. He's also wearing his eyeglasses."Oh, Gab, nakalimutan mo bang dal'hin yung susi na binigay ko sa'yo kahapon?" he curiously asked. He called her Gab and that's actually fine with her."Hindi naman. Ayaw ko lang na bigla-biglang papasok sa ibang bahay kaya nag doorbell ako." sagot nya."Pero hindi naman 'to ibang bahay dahil bahay mo narin 'to simula ngayon." paalala ng lalaki.Kinuha ni Ryce ang dala-dala ny

It was afternoon when Gabriella told Ryce that she would go outside to meet her friends."Kapag hindi agad ako nakauwi before dinner, huwag mo na akong hintayin at mauna ka ng kumain." she told her husband."Okay, pero kung sakaling makakauwi ka ng maaga, ano bang ulam ang gusto mong lutuin ko?""Can you cook Kaldereta? Matagal na kasi akong hindi nakakatikim non eh.""Sure, walang problema." nakangiting pagsangayon nito at matamis syang nginitian. Ngumiti rin sya dito pabalik."Thank you... Sige, alis na ako.""Take care," Nang tuluyang makaalis si Gabriella, nakaisip ng plano si Ryce na imbes na mamayang gabi ay ngayon nalang sya pupunta sa dati nitong apartment para kunin ang painting.Dahil umalis ang asawa para makipagkita sa mga kaibigan, hindi nito malalaman na umalis rin sya ng bahay. Ryce see it as the perfect chance to make a move, kaya pagkalipas ng ilang oras ay umalis rin sya habang suot-suot ang kaniyang pang disguise bilang Silent Thief.Papalubog na ang araw nang makar

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

"Niana! 'wag kang tatakbo baka madapa ka!" Sigaw ni lolo Anton sa pitong taong gulang na apo na si Niana nang makarating sila sa bukid kung saan sya nagta-trabaho.Kauuwi palang ng bata galing Amerika at sakanya ito iniwan para bantayan. Makulit, masayahin at madaldal kaya mabilis itong nakahanap ng kaibigan.Katulad nalang ngayon.Hindi pa ito nagtatagal ng isang araw sa bukid ay may nahanap na agad itong mga kaibigan na hindi nalalayo sa edad nya. Her friends' names are Zephanie and Merkely.Masaya silang naglaro ng tago-taguan, habol-habulan. Hanggang sa mapagod silang tatlo kaya niyaya nya ang mga itong kumain kasama ang kaniyang lolo.She's obviously a lolo's girl.Malakas sya dito kaya kada uwi nya ng Pilipinas ay palagi sya nitong ini-spoiled.They ate fried chicken, lumpia at gulay na malunggay. Kumain rin sila ng manga bilang panghimagas.Pagkatapos ay lumabas ulit silang tatlo kasama ang kaniyang lolo para tumambay sa ilalim ng puno at doon nagsimulang magkwento ang kaniyang

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
