Sugarbabe, Don't Tease Me

Ethan was staring furiously at the paper in front of him. Kasalukuyan niyang binabasa ang mga impormasyon tungkol sa hinihinalang pumatay sa kanyang lolo. Alongside the document is an attached photograph kung saan makikita ang isang babaeng naglalakad sa hallway. The woman in the photo was wearing a mustard colored leather jacket and black jeans. Or was it tight leggings? He wasn't so sure because the hazy image was taken from a lousy CCTV. The culprit was also seen wearing white wedge heels. Itim ang mahaba at nakalugay nitong buhok. Nasa katamtaman ang height ng babae at maging ang sukat ng katawan rin nito. Unfortunately, her face can't be identified from the poor quality of the picture. The woman also managed to hide her face by wearing sunglasses and a mask. Ayon pa sa imbestigador, matagumpay nitong naitago ang mukha paglabas pa lamang ng kwarto ng matanda. For this reason, Ethan purposely reminded himself to fire the technical staff of his grandfather's mansion for not upgrading the CCTVs of the house. Kung ano pa iyong dapat magbigay ng ebidensiya sa kanila ay iyon naman ang naging walang silbi sa kasong ito. He flipped unto the next page. Doon naman ay nakita niya ang imahe ng CCTV sa isang kalye. It was taken on the very same night his grandfather was murdered. Makikita rito ang pagbaba ng isang babae mula sa taxi. She was wearing the exact same clothes as seen on the previous CCTV picture. Another image with a different angle of the street showed the woman entering the gate of what seems to be an apartment building. Nalaman niya sa detalye ng dokumentong iyon na malapit pala sa isang university ang nasabing apartment. Exceptionally, the investigator was able to track the suspect by the taxi she took after the horrible crime she did. Then, Ethan opened the brown envelope that came with all the files. It contains a series of pictures taken by the investigator. Kuhang-kuha ng camera ang bawat galaw ng taong nasa larawan. Isa lang naman ang subject ng mga pictures at iyon ay ang isang babaeng nakasuot ng mustard colored na leather jacket. Tugmang tugma ang jacket na iyon sa suot ng babaeng suspect sa pagpatay ng kanyang lolo. Sakto rin ang sukat at tindig ng katawan nito basi sa pagkokompara niya ng mga naunang pictures ng suspect. Kumuyom ang mga palad ni Ethan. How can this woman be able to continue living normally after killing someone? Kinilatis niya ang bawat imahe. The first picture showed her coming out of the building in broad daylight. The rest are showing her on the street, in a library, pati na ang pagpasok nito sa grounds ng isang university. At sa lahat ng mga pigurang iyon ay kitang kita ni Ethan ang mukha ng babae. He can clearly see who she is. Heck, he can even recognize her face right away if Ethan ever bumps into her across the street. Ang medyo kulot nitong buhok na nakita niya sa naunang CCTV footage ay naging straight na ngayon pero pareho paring maitim ang kulay. Marahil ay iniba nito ang hairstyle para itago ang krimeng ginawa. May maamo itong mukha na hindi mapanghihinalaang kumakailan lang ay pumatay ito ng isang tao. He suddenly pitied his grandfather. Ini-enjoy sana ng kanyang lolo ang retirement nito dahil kumakailan lang ay ipinasa nito ang responsibilidad ng Andrade Conglomerate sa kaisa-isa nitong apo. But he was just killed by a woman whom he met from a website. At sa mismong bahay pa nito nangyari ang pagpatay. Ethan grievously set the pictures aside after he viewed them. Ang kasunod niyang binasa ay ang personal information ng babaeng nasa litrato. Kailangan niya ang mga datos na iyon para sa kanyang plano. Hindi kasi sapat ang mga ebidensiya kung ang pagbabasehan ay ang mga kuha ng CCTV lamang. The clothes are merely coincidental. They were not a hundred percent sure yet if the woman they found was the same woman who killed his grandfather but at least they got a lead. Tinitigan ni Ethan ang itsura ng babae sa litrato. Sabi ng isip niya, I just need one more piece of solid evidence to prove that you're the criminal I'm looking for. Nagulat rin si Ethan ng malaman sa datos ng babae na may account rin ito sa nasabing website kung saan nakilala ng kanyang lolo ang babaeng pumatay rito. His suspicions about the woman were heightened when he found out about this information. Tinawagan niya ang sekretarya at kinompirma kung nagawa ba nito ang kanyang ipinag-utos. “Did you do what I asked you to?” tanong niya sa sekretarya. “Yes, sir. I've already set up your account on sugardaddy.com” saad ng sekretarya. Nagsend rin ito ng detalye tungkol sa kanyang account via email. He typed in his information on the website irritably. He never thought he'd go into this kind of entertainment. Wala siyang panahon para sa mga ganitong bagay dahil puno na ang kanyang mga kamay dahil sa responsibilidad na kanyang dinadala. The conglomerate itself will be a big responsibility for him now that his grandfather is gone. Pagkatapos makapasok sa website ay agad siyang nagclick sa search bar at hinanap ang username ng babae. He typed ShoogaFlum22. Only one result came after the search. He was immediately sure it was her. Ethan was sent directly to the woman's profile when he clicked her username. He inspected it but nothing fancy was going on in ShoogaFlum22's account. It only had her profile picture and a bio below her username. Binasa iyon ni Ethan, Catch me if you can. Hahabulin talaga kita. Hindi ka makakawala mula sa mga kamay ko, he madly smirked. Biglang nanunuot kay Ethan ang galit. This woman is living her life while his helpless grandfather is now laying beneath underground. Ni hindi man lang siya nakapagpaalam sa abuelo na siyang tanging pamilyang natira kay Ethan. Napapikit siya ng mata at makailang ulit na huminga ng malalim upang kalmahin ang sarili. Anas ng isip niya, You will reach your end, woman. Soon.
