Thomas Torres
I am in a park ngayon just near our village to have some fresh air.
Hayy, after all those hardwork, finally nag bunga na. Lahat ng pagod at pawis ko, worth it dahil isa na 'kong ganap na pulis ngayon.
I smiled at the thought na I can be officially called 'PO1 Thomas Torres' na.
"Magnanakaw! May magnanakaw! Tulong! Yung bag ko!"
Napatingin naman ako sa babaeng sumigaw. Nasa mid 40s na siya at parang may hinahabol pa siya kaya't agad akong napatayo.
"Ma'am what's wrong? How can I help you?" I directly asked her as I reached her.
"Ijo, yung bag ko! Kinuha ng snatcher! Tulungan mo 'ko." she answered while obviously panicking at nagpoint sa right side kaya I directly ran towards the direction to catch the thief.
Now I can see someone na tumatakbo na may hawak ngang bag. So this must be the thief.
Tumakbo ako ng mabilis. Fast. Faster. Fastest.
And because I am Thomas Torres, I directly caught her. Wait, what? Her? The thief is a girl?
I was too stunned kaya she had the time to escape from my grip kaya she run even faster.
How could she? Wala ba siyang konsensiya? Kababae niyang tao.
But I need to catch her. Syempre bukod sa I'm a concerned citizen ay kailangan ko ring magpa impress sa boss ko. Baka makatulong 'to for promotion, diba? I smiled at the idea.
Mas binilisan ko pa ang pagtakbo ko until nahuli ko na siya and this time, I made sure na wala na siyang takas.
"Ano ba! Bitawan mo nga ako!" matigas niyang sabi sakin while trying to escape from my grip.
"Not again Miss." I smirked.
Mabilis ko siyang kinaladkad papunta sa kotse ko at nilagyan pa ng posas yung mga kamay niya since I always bring this one.
When we reached my car ay mabilis ko siyang pinasok sa loob and I get the bag from her.
"Ang epal mo, bwiset!" sigaw niya sa akin.
"Woah, wait Miss. Am I the bwiset here? Eh sino ba yung magnanakaw?" pailing iling ko pang tanong.
"Hindi ako magnanakaw." matigas niyang sabi kaya napailing nalang ako uli.
"Pulis ako Miss. Sa prisinto ka nalang magpaliwanag." sabi ko naman.
Kumunot yung noo niya at napahinga ng malalim, "Hindi nga ako magnanakaw, okay? Pakawalan mo nga ako!" reklamo niya pa uli pero di ko nalang pinansin.
My co-police officer texted me saying na na nandoon sa prisinto yung ninakawan ng bag. Good, because her bag is safe with me na right now and nahuli ko pa yung magnanakaw!
I was driving na our way to our headquarter and this girl right here is very noisy.
"Sabing hindi nga ako magnanakaw eh. Ang kulit!"
"Bingi ka ba? Ibaba mo nga ako!"
"Ihinto mo to'ng sasakyan! Ihinto mo sabi eh! Anoba?!"
Napatingin naman ako sa kanya when the traffic light turned red.
And I must say she's beautiful. She have a very perfect eyebrows which perfectly suits her eyes. She has a very well shaped nose too. And her cheeks, it's so flappy and parang ang sarap pang gigilan. I like her pouty lips too. Damn, she's beautiful!
"Oh? Anong tinitingin tingin mo?!" mataray niyang sabi at naparoll eyes pa.
Nagising naman ako sa katotohanan and I just found out na nag green lights na pala.
"Alam mo Miss, maganda ka sana eh. Kaya lang magnanakaw ka." I said out of nowhere.
"Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin na hindi ako magnanakaw, ha?" medyo pasigaw niya nang sabi sa akin at hindi nalang ako sumagot.
Pagkarating namin sa prisinto ay agad kong dinala tong thief sa office ng chief namin.
"Good Afternoon sir." agad kong bati kay Chief at nagsalute.
Napatingin naman sa akin yung thief and then kay chief at nag salute rin siya.
Nagsalute si chief sa amin and he asked us to seat down.
"You were there PO1 Torres noong nangyari yung pagsasnatch so what did really happened?" chief asked me seriously and kinwento ko naman lahat sa kanya.
From the time that the woman shouted for a help until I caught this thief with the bag.
Napakunot naman ang noo ni chief and halatang naguguluhan but I don't know why.
"Is it true?" tanong niya sa thief.
Wait, what? Hindi ba siya naniniwala sa akin? Hindi ba ako pinagkakatiwalaan ni chief? Parang ang sakit naman yata nun?
"Ikaw yung nang snatch? Is it true?" tanong niya pa uli.
The girl shook her head and aapila na sana ako pero I don't want na mag mukhang bastos so I just remained silent.
"Chief, believe me. I wasn't the thief, you know I can't do that." she said and chief nodded and parang paniwalang paniwala pa sa kanya. Bakit ganito?
The thief then continued talking, "I was at the park too when the snatching happened so I directly ran after the thief. I immediately got the bag from him but you know me sir. I'm not satisfied with just getting the stolen things because I also want to catch the thief and then dumating 'to," she said sabay turo sa akin. "I'm sorry sir but I wasn't able to catch the thief dahil hinuli naman ako nito." dagdag niya pa.
And I was left speechless here. Woah. Is she also a cop or something?
"Well, I'm proud to the both of you because of your dedication sa work niyo." nakangiting saad ni chief. "And I'm sorry na rin dahil I think hindi pa pala kayo nagkakakilala since ngayong week na to lang nagsimula si PO1 Torres sa work na 'to."
"So PO1 Torres, I would like you to meet PO3 Galang." napanganga naman ako sa sinabi ni chief.
PO3 Galang? PO3?! You're doomed Thomas! What did you just do?
Instead na magalit, PO3 Galang even smiled at me and I can feel na hindi naman yon pakitang tao lang dahil nandito si chief because it is a very sincere one. And that smile just made her even more beautiful.
"It's nice to meet you PO1 Torres. I'm very much sure na magkakasundo tayo because ganyan rin ako ka eager na hulihin ang masasamang loob." she said and I was left speechless.
Nakipag hand shake ako sa kanya but I wasn't able to say anything dahil nilalamon na ko ng hiya. I don't even know how to apologize because of what I just did. What a shame Thomas.
