2024-01-23 13:20:38Silent 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 first, but when she thought of a sudden plan that would make her mission more easier, naisipan nyang sumali sa auction dahil kailangang mapasakanya ang painting na iyon.If she won the bidding for the painting, magiging target sya ni Silent Thief. Nasa kaniya ang pakay nitong painting kaya hindi na sya mahihirapang hulihin ito dahil ito na mismo ang kusang lalapit sakaniya.Once the thief lower his guards, she would use her 'one-arm shoulder throw' to slam him on the floor at saka nya ito lalagyan ng posas sa kamay para hindi ito makatakas."10 million dollars."That is the starting price for the painting that Silent Thief plans to steal."50 million dollars,""75 million dollars!""80 million dollars!"Agent Angel's eyebrow arched as she started to get confused why the price of the painting suddenly reached like that. She got annoyed because it's REALLY expensive.Pero dahil meron syang misyon at gustong-gusto nyang ginagawa ang misyon nya ng mag-isa ay sarili nyang pera ang itinataya nya para makuha ang painting na iyon."100 million dollars."Hanggang doon lang ang kaniyang limit. Hindi sya gagastos ng higit pa doon para lamang sa isang painting.Lumipas ang limang segundo, walang ibang nagsalita. Unti-unti syang napangiti dahil akala nya ay sakanya na mapupunta ang painting, pero agad na nabura ang ngiti sa labi nya nang magsalita ang matandang babae sa kaniyang likuran."140 million dollars!""I80 million dollars!""195 million dollars!""200 million dollars!"Her jaw dropped.Like what's so special about that painting? She rarely even bought something for herself. Her teeth gritted in annoyance.Should she just let others have it?Pero kung hindi nya mapapanalunan ang painting, kailangan nyang mag stick sa kaniyang original plan na nakawin ang painting bago ito nakawin ng magnanakaw.Her plan A is more risky and she doesn't like the idea of stealing the painting either..."300 million dollars." that's her own voice.Natahimik ang lahat at nagsitinginan sakaniya. Doon nya lang napansin na nakataas na pala ang isang kamay nya sa ere at mabilis pa sa kidlat na agad nyang pinagsisihan ang kaniyang naging desisyon.Naghintay sya na may magsalita pang iba na mag o-offer ng mas higit pa doon, pero wala na.She won the bidding for the painting, pero pakiramdam nya ay talong-talo sya.'Damn, I used my own freakin' money just to make that painting mine. What a waste...'After a couple of minutes, tinawag sya papuntang back stage para sa transaction na gagawin at para narin makita nya ang painting na kaniyang iuuwi bukas o kaya pwede rin namang mamaya.Nilabas nya ang kaniyang tseke sa dala-dalang bag at nanginginig ang kamay na isinulat ang halaga ng presyo na kaniyang babayaran.Nagdadalawang isip sya kung pepermahan ba ito o hindi."This is the first and last time that I'm going to spent such amount of money for a mission." she reminded herself.'Darn you, Silent Thief.'After signing the cheque, the painting is officially hers.Pilit ang ngiting ibinigay nya habang nakikipagkamay sa staff kung saan nya iniabot ang pinirmahang tseke.Pagkatapos ay nanghihinang ipinatong nya ang dalang bag sa mesa, nang biglang namatay ang ilaw at lahat ay nagsimulang magtilian."IT'S SILENT THIEF!""NANDITO NA SYA!"Pagkarinig ng sigawan ay agad syang napangisi mula sa kinatatayuan."You finally came, huh?"Lumapit sya sa kaniyang painting para protektahan ito at dahil narin alam nya na ito ang ipinunta doon ng magnanakaw. As if she would let the painting she bought for 16 billion pesos to end up on that thief's hands.A few seconds later, the thief appeared infront of her. Para hindi mahalata ay agad siyang umarte habang kaharap ito."K-Kung itong painting ang ipinunta mo dito, i-ibibigay ko sa'yo... Just please don't hurt or kill me, I'm scared." she acted, eyes becoming watery as she raised both of her hands in the mid air so the thief would lower his guards."Tabi,"Malamig ang boses nito ngunit hindi nya marinig ng maayos dahil sa suot nitong mask."Ilagay mo ang dalawang kamay mo sa likod ng ulo mo at huwag kang gagalaw. Maliban sa sinabi ko ay wala kang ibang gagawin.""O-Okay," Kagaya ng sinabi nito ay tumabi sya at inilagay ang dalawang kamay sa likod ng kaniyang ulo.Pretending that she's shaking in fear, Agent Angel waited for the thief to take his step closer to the painting bago sya gumawa ng kilos.Hahawakan na sana nito ang painting ngunit hindi iyon nangyari nang agad nya itong pinatumba gamit ang kanyang kamay at balikat.Agent Angel cornered the thief by the floor and grabbed both of his hand to handcuffed it, but freaked out when she realized that she's not carrying the handcuff with her. It's inside her bag!Agad na sumimangot ang mukha nyang agad ring napalitan ng pagkagulat nang sa isang iglap lang ay sya na ang nasa sahig at ang magnanakaw na ang nakapatong sakanya habang hawak-hawak ang kanyang dalawang braso.Sinubukan nyang makawala sa hawak nito pero masyadong mahigpit ang pagkakahawak ng lalaki sakanya.Nagmamadaling tumayo ang magnanakaw at agad syang pinaikot— her back was harshly pressed against his chest. Ramdam na ramdam nya ang tela ng kasuotan nito dahil isang backless and suot nyang bestida. Maya-maya pa ay narinig nya itong bumulong sa kanyang tenga."I don't like hurting women so I would be glad if you'll just behave and let me get that painting."Her ears twitched after hearing what the thief said. He's asking her to let him steal her painting?"In your dreams,"Nagsipasukan ang mga pulis na nandoon rin para hulihin ito. Inilabas nila ang kanilang mga baril at itinutok sa direksyon ng magnanakaw.The thief know that he can't win over a gun."Pasensya na sa gagawin kong 'to, Miss. Kung sakaling magkita man tayo ulit, babawi nalang ako sa'yo." he said.She shook her head, not honestly liking what she just heard."No, we won't see each other again! I promise that I would catch and expose you tonight and send you right into priso---"The thief didn't let her to finish her words and covered her mouth using his hand at ginamit rin syang panangga para hindi makapagpaulan ng bala ang pulis sa direksyon nya.Pagkalapit sa tapat ng bintana ay muli pa itong bumulong sa kaniyang tenga na babalik sya ulit para kunin ang painting kaya kailangan nyang maghanda.He let her go by gently pushing her away before he jumped outside the window to escape.Agent Angel immediately grabbed the gun from the police officer's hand and fired it at the thief's direction.Nang hindi na nya ito matanaw mula sa bintana ay hindi nya napigilan ang sariling mapamura.She raised her hand to fix her messy hair in disappointment, when she touch something soft on her ear.It's a blue rose.'When did that thief put this rose on my ear?' She asked. Ni hindi nya man lang napansin o kaya naramdaman ang paglagay nito ng bughaw na rosas sa kaniyang tenga.Dahil sa inis ay agad nyang kinuyom ang kamao at itinapon ang rosas sa bintana.'Darn you, Silent Thief. I promise that I would rip and destroy that mask you're wearing and expose your ugly face to the world...Just wait and see. I will surely gonna do that.'

"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.

[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

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

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.

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

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.
