Why do we fear being robbed, when in fact at some point of our lives we became robbers of our own. We may have done it unintentionally but still, we have robbed someone's treasures, dreams, confidence and more importantly happiness. We robbed for our own good, we robbed because we want to have something that someone else have. And maybe, we robbed to survive in this world full of predators ready to devour those who are prey.
Isang sekretong organisasyon ang napalooban ni Isaiara. An organization that does not favor the bad nor the good. They do things that are neither illegal nor legal. But one thing is for sure, they do the dirty works that the government cannot do in broad daylight. Isa si Isaiara sa gropung Robbers ng organisasyon, kung saan ang tanging gawain niya lamang ay magnakaw ng mga bagay na naiatas sa kaniya. Everything was good, she robbed according to the organization's content. Pero sa di sinasadyang pagkakatao'y nanakaw niya rin ang puso ng butihing pulis na si Dan Salem Roquas.
I am a robber for the reason that it is the only way for me to live this life happily, kasi yun ang itinatak sa isip ko. And like the fairy tales, I met him.
Our story started as a fairy tale but it would end as a hideous crime.
Him as the victim, while I am the suspect of robbery.
I did not just rob his heart.
I robbed the life and light in his eyes.
He is now cold.
And I would forever be guilty for the crime I commit.
All because, I am a robber.
