Chapter 2-19 is me having fun if you don’t like you could just skip to chapter 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------place note that almost everything but the mc here does not belong to me even the wallpaper.

In Neddy's house, Neddy and Jake are on the bed laughing, while reading some manga.

"I didn't realize you were a fundashi", said Jake, with a book in front of her.

"Yeah, I've been reading Yaoi manga", said Neddy, then he shows Jake all the yaoi manga.

"You truly are my soulmate", said Jake, then hugs Neddy.

Neddy leads Jake to his closet, once he taps the top of the closet, the hangers on both sides move, opening a secret passageway.

In the secret passageway, there's purple wallpaper, couches, and on the side of the couches; there is a hallway full of bookcasez on the bookcases is yaoi manga.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Jake.

"Yup, this is my collection, school romance is on the left, first two bookcases, I also have fantasy,sci fi, sports, all kinds", said Neddy.

"Have any smut or one with Ampromorphic characters?" asked Jake.

"Smut is over on the right, fourth bookcase and six bookcases beyond the left", Neddy tell Jake.

"Any suggestions?" asked Jake.

Neddy takes Jake's hand, and they flick a red button, that shows a panel, together they put in two different codes, and two books land in both of their hands.

"Let's read them", smiled Jake.

"Good idea", said Neddy smiles at Jake.

Jake and Neddy lay on the couch beside each other reading their manga.

Neddy hug Jake, while reading his manga.

Jake rubs Neddy's hair with a smile on her face.

"What happened?" Ren can sense that something is not right in the air.
She looks at him. Her face is blank. She only has one hour before they send people to kill her. DH will wipe her out since she's been hacked. She's sure the hacker isn't kind either. Who would want to hack an inner member of DH if they don't want to mess up with DH? With those skills, the hacker can't be an ordinary person. Whatever is the reason, her identity is leaked to a threat. DH will definitely erase a wounded leg that can't be used anymore. 
What should she do? She has known that things will be like this. Money and power come with a price. Didn't she enjoy having the power to destroy lives with a few strings of codes on her laptop? 
Nina smiles coldly. She closes the laptop. She turns off the phone and leaves it on the laptop. They will destroy it when they come. If she keeps them with her, they will find her sooner. An addict won't be able to resist turning on her laptop or phone.
Ren's eyes follow her movement. Just what's wrong? She's acting strangely suddenly. Is she going to kill him? Oh, no! He doesn't know the ending of the manga that he's been reading for more than twenty years. He hasn't played the games that he brought recently. Most importantly, he hasn't met Rie and her son. How could he die without seeing her again?
"Lady kindness, please don't kill me," He shouts after her. "You won't feel happy. I am just a useless guy. I am sorry for rejecting your advances, but I am a traditional man. I can't kiss the woman I don't love. How about we date for a while before we do that? Once my heart is moved, I will give you my body without any hesitation? I promise you that."
But Nina has bigger problems than dealing with a virgin guy who wants his heart to be moved before giving up his body to her. She opens her wardrobe and grabs a bunch of clothes. She finds a small bag. She can't take much. Credit cards are huge NOPE. Cash. She needs a lot of cash -- and a gun. She pushes away the wardrobe. 
Ren's heart is pushing his way up, wanting to jump out of his mouth. Is she going to bury him in that way? 
"No, please don't do that. You know what? You can have me now. I don't mind my body being used." He needs to know the ending of that manga. Twenty years are not just nothing. He will really die if he dies without knowing. Who cares about honor now? "Nina, you like me. Don't kill me. I will give you my body."
Nina walks out of the room. She doesn't have a second to waste. Ren's eyes bulge out when he sees the knife in her hand.
"Rie chan, I am dying." He cries out with tears. "Please come and save me. Where are you, Kiyohira? Is anyone listening? There's a crazy woman here who wants to kill me."
"Will you shut up?" Nina glares at him. "I am trying to think here."
Ren shakes his head. "There's no way that I am shutting up while you think of the ways to kill me."
"If you don't shut up, I will do this to you." Nina stabs the wall. To Ren's surprise, the knife digs into the wall. She tears open the wallpaper with the knife, revealing the different currency. She's been prepared for a time like this. She's a hacker connected to the cyber underworld. With a few taps on the keyboard, another hacker broke through her defense today and brought her the ruin. It's life and a matter of survival. Yesterday, she was someone who ruined others and today, someone else destroyed her. Just that, she didn't expect that someone would break her defense this soon. 
When Ren sees the empty space behind the wallpaper, he gulps down. She has everything ready. 
She glances at the clock. She has only 40 minutes. She decides not to take much. She takes the clothes out of her bag. She can always buy them later. She starts packing the bag with money. Money speaks. It's the most powerful tool in the world. This tool can sway nearly anyone's heart. She needs to leave the country.
Ren closes his eyes when she suddenly starts undressing in a hurry. She picks up the jeans, a simple white shirt, and a black jacket. She puts on a baseball hat. She takes the gun that she keeps beneath her pillow.
He peeks at her. Seeing her fully dressed, he is relieved. The gun makes his heart jump, but he gets the situation now. She's running away. She doesn't have the intention of untying him. If she leaves, how long it will take for someone to find him?
She hangs the black bag over her shoulder and starts walking toward the door. 
"I will die if you leave me."
Nina's footsteps stop. She creases her brows. It's none of her business if he dies. She's no longer part of DH. She doesn't need to keep her promise to Rie. Besides, she hasn't harmed him.
 "I will die of hunger," Ren speaks with a loud voice. "My clothes are wet too. Untie my hands before you leave."
She comes back to him quietly. She looks at him with a smile. Ren lets out a breath of relief. The woman isn't heartless. 
His relief doesn't last long. Suddenly, she points the gun at his skull. "Do you think that I am like your friend, Rie? Do you think that I have a weakness too and you can exploit that weakness?"
He looks at her with shock. "How do you know Rie?"
Chuckling, she presses the trigger. 


Is there hate at first sight?

Takeuchi Rie is a hikikomori who rarely goes sees the daylight. If she wants food, she will order it online. The love of her life is a manga character. Unless her house is on fire, she refuses to go outside. 

Kamiyama Kiyohira is the arrogant and proud CEO of Kamiyama Groups. When he meets her for the first time at the funeral of his father and stepmother, she is cursing him to rot with genital diseases at his father's funeral.

He breaks her door, destroys her house, and nearly sends her to the prison. 

She sticks to him like a koala and blames him for taking advantage of her during sleep. 

They certainly hate each other, but they can't keep their hands off each other? 

He is the wicked CEO. She is the hateful Hikikomori.

She is the wicked Hikikomori. He is the hateful CEO.

Who is the wicked one here? It depends. Who is at the bottom and who is on the top?

They are quite a match in words, bed, and hate.

They hate each other so much that they keep sleeping with each other?

By the way, if MC and ML are mutually sexually harassing each other, is it sexual harassment?

((( SENA )))
Nagpo-propose na naman ba ng kasal itong si Sean ngayon? O sadyang nadala na naman siya ng emotion sa buong paligid. Natigilan ako sa pag-iyak dahil… Killcry bigla si Sean. Napapunas ako ng kamay ko sa pisngi ko. At napa-Aching…
"Di ka naligo Sean."
Napangiti na lamang siya, ng tumitig na ako sa kanya. Kunyari di ko na lang narinig sinabi niya. Tumayo na ako… At natahimik yung mga tao sa loob. Hahaha, bigo ba si Sean? Ngunit heto siya nakabuntot sa akin. Nang bumaling ulit ako sa crucifix… Thank you po sa umagang to.  See yah bukas at sana kasama ko ulit si Sean.
Nang inakbayan ako ni Sean…
At mahinang sinabi sa akin na…
"Well I can wait for your answer. I understand." Sabay wink sa akin.
Upakan ko ang lalaking to, pa fall. Haist.
Sa paglabas namin… sinalubong kami ng sariwang hangin ng umaga. Mamaya lang magpapakita na si Haring araw. Napaunat ako… na feeling ko tatangkad pa ako. Abala na yung mga tao kung ano ano ang binibili sa labas… Yung biko ko pala… saka puto bungbong!
Napalapit ako sa isang stall, at kumuha ako ng dadalhin ko pauwi. Andyan si Sean para bayaran tong lahat. Saka madami kaya tauhan niyang naghihintay sa pag-uwi namin. Halos maubos ko nga. Saka di na naghantay pa si Sean, siya na itong nagbayad. Kinuha yung bitbit ko… at ipinasok sa loob ng sasakyan, habang ako tinitikman ko na yung Biko. Ang sarap…
Pinagbuksan ako ng pinto ni Sean. Pumasok ako na di ko siya pinapansin. At maya maya lang nasa tabi ko na siya. Inistart yung engine…
"Gusto mo?" lapit ko ng pagkain sa kanya. Kumagat nga siya… na di man lang sinagot ang panyaya ko.
Wala nang boses dahil siguro naubos na ng kumanta siya kanina. O puyat na dahil unti lang yung tinulog niyang oras…
Dahil gabi pa at madilim pa ng umalis kami… di ko alam kung tama ba itong daan na tinatahak namin ni Sean. Nang buksan niya ang bintana, kaya yung masarap na simoy ng umaga… niyayakap ako ngayon. Kampante ako sa pagiging tahimik ni Sean, dahil alam ko naman ang pakiramdam na makuntento… at ito ata ang nararamdaman niya ngayon. Good Sean. Hangang sa parang pamilyar ang kalsadang to…
Pasinag na ang malagintong liwanag ni Haring araw. Kung maari pa sanag isangla, naku po, marami nang mayaman diba?
At talagang… pamilyar ang kalsadang to…
At halos mamilog ang bibig ko na…
Uuwi ba kami sa bahay namin ni Kuya?!
"Sean…"
Ngumiti na lamang siya na di sa akin tumitig.  Hangang nga nasa harapan na kami ng bahay namin. Naunang bumaba si Sean, na pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto… At halos di ako makapaniwala na sa tagal kong di nakauwi dito… andito na naman ako.
Agad kong binuksan yung tarangkahan namin, dahil… yung mga mata ng mga kapit bahay namin, biglang inihip papunta sa amin. Hila ko ang kamay ni Sean papasok.
Malaki na yung manga na parang kinalbo at pinutol yung sanga… Pero ngayon napapadahon na… Alam kong wala akong madaratnan, wala dito si Kuya… at di ko alam kung saan isinilid ni Sean.
Pero nagkakamali ako ng bumukas yung pinto… Si Kuya.
"Kuya?!"
Di siya makapaniwala na nasa harapan niya kaming dalawa. Biglang inilayo ni Sean ang paningin niya dito. Nag-away ba sila? Ahhh… yung kalokohan na sinasabi ni Sean na di daw kami magkapatid.
"ahhh… magandang umaga Kuya."
"Pasok kayo." Walang emotion na yaya sa amin ni Kuya. Pumasok kami ni Sean. Dahin nirenovate ito, may nagbago nga sa pamamahay namin. Dumiretso sa kusina si Kuya, ewan kung ano ang nililito niya, pero parang masarap.
Nang bigla na lang ako nahiga sa sahig. Ahahahaha… namiss ko eh. Nagulat si Sean…
"Hey! Tumayo ka nga riyan! Ang dumi dumi riyan!"
Tinugon ko… Belat. Sa namiss ko tong sahig na to. Yung panahon na nagkaroon ako ng aksidente sa isang mall, ito yung naging sandalan ko Sean.
Sinubukan akong pabangunin ni Sean sa pamagitan ng paghila ng kamay ko. Sa ayaw ko talaga bumangon. Hangang sa napatingala ako sa hagdan na papunta sa silid ko.
Kaya napabangon ako. Kinuha ko kamay ni Sean… At hinila siya pa-akyat sa silid ko. Ano na kaya hitsura niya. Nang buksan ko ang maliit kong kwarto, na magkakasya lang ata dito yung kama namin ni Sean… Taran…
Awss… Hello… Hello Kitty. Unang mapapansin sa silid ko yung wallpaper na Hello Kitty, sa yun lang ang available na design sa nabilhan ko niyan. Patalon akong napadive sa higaan ko… na sa tingin ko naman nilinis ni Kuya, ano naman gagawin niya rito?
Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Sean… Hinila yung stool saka naupo. Nagmasid sa silid ko na parang may hinahanap na ebidensya. Nang may notebook siyang hinablot galing sa maliit kong shelf… na napabangon ako… dahil… Diary ko yun!
Hahablutin ko na sana sa kanya… ng bigla niyang itinaas ang kamay niya.
"Sean!"

The time is already past midnight and Kenniayi stopped using her magic. Nonetheless, The beautiful angel goddess and her assistant valkyire are still occupied with reading their own chosen material. In Kenniayi hands is the book with the title being "Overlord volume 12". Meanwhile, Sethar has the book with the title "She Professed Herself the Pupil of the Wise Man volume 2" in her hands.

After sometimes, Kenniayi addressed her assistant, 
"Sethar, can you please bring something to quench my dry throat. It is been months since I drink or eat something".
"Of course Lady Kenniayi, how about cola, potatoes chips and some fries perhaps?"
Sethar, beautiful teen valkyire, answered back her master call and suggest something that she had just watched on an anime show 'U*aru-chan'.
"That would be perfect, I have always wanted to try that since so many protagonist from these 'Isekai' shelf are boasting about it".

Kenniayi remembered something that she had read from books on Embra's bookshelf. His bookshelf is categorized with several category like 'Isekai, Fantasy , Modern , Psycho , Games , Comic and etcc..'. Embra is a man who like neat and tidy. May it be his house or his office, everything is at its place and books are on bookshelfs and on desk; all put neatly. All books on his bookshelfs are arranged systematically and alphabitacally.  He is not a clean freak and like that but he find his mind peaceful whenever he come back his home and see it clean and tidy. So, he keeps everything in his house in its own place tidly. Kenniayi know that when she read Embra's mind and a small smile curled up upon her thin and rosy lips.

"As you will my lady". Sethar put her book down after marking her current page with bookmark and answer courteously. She then turn to look at Embra to ask him where she can get them from but she see Embra falling asleep on his sofa with book on his lap. Sensing Sethar standing still, Kenniayi glanced up from reading the book and saw Sethar directing her gaze on Embra with troubled look. She then assured her assistant, "Oh he is already asleep hhu.. it's ok. I have already read his memory. There is a store not far from here. You can get from there all you need. Oh and, take this.. ".

Kenniayi tossed a wallet to Sethar. Sethar catched it and asked,"This is ..".
"Oh, that is his wallet. you can take that and buy what you want. Be sure to cast a illusion magic on youself too ".
To Sethar question, Kenniayi answered nonchantly like it is hers.
"Yes, my lady".
[Illusion magic: self] Sethar casted a illusion on herself to look like a woman from wallpaper on Embra's phone.

P.O.V changed.

A man wearing a uniform can be seemed checking the stock of the goods in 24-hour store. He is keeping himself busy so he doesn't fall asleep.
*Clang Clang*
He heard the automatic door opening and stopped working to greet the customer. "Hello, what can I ge..t.."

The man speech is cut short or rather he is completely speechless. What he see in front of him is the lady herself, Maleficent aka Angelina Jolie. How could he be mistaken, he just watched the second movie of her yesterday!. The man assumed that she is Angelina heself. He trembled happily and approched her to introduced himself to her although he is nervous.. extremely nervous..

"He..hll.o, ar..wh..a.at ..can I ge.t.t for you..u. ".
"?" Sethar titled her head aside at the odd behavior of the man before her.She replied nonthelesss to the man and smiled st the end..
"Hello, I want Cola and potatoes chips ".
'Ah...I can die now..RIP.'
"Hello.. Can you hear me...?" Sethar asked again to the dazed man. 

The man recover from his fantasy and pull himself together."Ah.. Sorry. Of course I have cola and chips.This way Madam."
Smiling the man guide Sethar to choose chips to her liking. As she don't know what to choose, she just choose all in the whole shelf.

 "Excuse me, I think I heard wrong. How many bags do you want again..?"
"All. I want all on this shelf and this shelf too.." She points to the shelf full of chocolate and sweets and answered as if it is normal.
"...Ar..e you sure?"
"Yeah.. Can you pack them up quick. I am  in hurry." Sethar become a little impatient for she want to hurry to the apartment and continue reading so she also help in putting the chips and sweets.
"Ok.. As you wish.". Although felling puzzled, the man compile her request and pack chips bags and sweets in the basket and proceed to the conunter. 
"That would be ***$ Madam".Noding her head to ackowledge what the man said, Sethar hand over the wallet to the man.

"Take the money from here". She then proceed to carry the bags.. There are too many of them So, she put them in the basket with the wheel she just used earlier. 
"..." The man is just looking at the wallet that 'Angelina' give it to him earlier and titled his head aside.
"You want me to take the bill from this." He asked with unbelieve look on his face. 
"Yes, take the amount and give it back to me."
"...You ."
"Just take it." Sethar strongly said the man. He flinched and just take the exact amount and also put the change in there.
"Here you go..Madam" .He hand over the wallet back. 
"Thanks, I will be on my way.."
"Yes.. Thanks for your purchase. Let me escort you back to car."
"Oh. Don't bother yourself with this. I can handle much."
After denying the man's help, Sethar went out of the door and turn the corner and whispered.."[Return:Point **]"
With a flash of blue light she disappered. The man is still can't believe himself from seeing 'Angelina' in flesh with yellow and light brown thin clothes and brown pants, seem to make for night wear.
He is distracted from seeing her that he did not notice she also took the basket with her.

At the apartment..

With a flash of blue light, Sethar apperared in the living room of the apartment. Dispelling her illusion, she bowed and greeted Kenniayi.
"I have come back, Lady Kenniayi. Sorry for the long wait."
"It's okay, What did you get?" Putting a bookmark on the curent page, she placed the book down and go check what Sethar got.
"It is cola and chips with various flavour. The man at the store is kind enough to show me around. Although he is a little odd at first".
Thinking back to a few minutes ago, Sethar answered her master. 
"Oh! Let's try them now." Said Kenniayi with exicting look in her eyes.

"Open it all and let's try some. I will go to his room and continue read there". 
After she heard Kenniayi, Sethar asked with worries in her eyes, "Should you not rest? Your magic is getting low".
"I will. I just want to finish this series. Then, I will sleep. You can sleep in the neighbour room".
"It's okay, Lady Kenniayi, I will sleep here. After reading the manga, I also want to experience what 'futon' feels like."
"Ok then, do as you want. First, Let's try this one. "

After that the two of them try some and choose what they like. Kenniayi went to Embra room and Sethar stayed at the living room. 
Sethar finds some futon, get laid on the futon and continue reading but after some time she fell asleep. She has been waking up for some month now(approx:three hour under time sphere = 2250 hour <or> 93 days.)(AN:They can live on with magic in their body. I will explain as the story progrossed.)

Kenniayi went to Embra's room and get laid and starting reading normally and eating chips in between. Kenniayi thinks herself,'Not bad, It is soft to lay down for this great me. He he. But, this books:manga, Light novels and animes. I am 100% sure it is the work of some God who control the soul or Circle of Life and Death, Samsara.... He or she transplant the memories of dead people on other worlds as ideas in the mind of people of 'Earth'... It is good and all so, I can enjoy them but, what does he or she want from the people of 'Earth'? I have already spent nearly two years in the time sphere reading but I haven't finish half of all the mangas,LN or animes yet. *sigh* Whatever, I can only hope the god do not will for bad things for this earth...' Ending her thoughts, she continues to read. Not long after, she also fell asleep.

"Sekarang sudah zaman apa? Kamu tidak masuk ke era ini kalau kamu tidak menggunakan WeChat." Jian Xiaoqiao menatap Gu Yishen lalu lanjut mengatakan, "Berikan ponselmu padaku, aku akan mengunduh aplikasinya untukmu!"
"Aku sudah mengunduhnya."
"Aku akan membantumu untuk mendaftar." Kata Jian Xiaoqiao sambil mengambil ponsel Gu Yishen. Saat membukanya, Jian Xiaoqiao harus memasukkan kode rahasia.
Jian Xiaoqiao menatap Gu Yishen lalu bertanya, "Apa kode rahasia ponselmu?"
Gu Yishen berdehem ringan lalu menjawab, "Oh itu gampang. Masukkan tanggal ulang tahunmu."
"Tanggal ulang tahunku…" Jian Xiaoqiao menatap Gu Yishen ragu lalu memasukkan tanggal ulang tahunnya. --0101, lalu layar ponsel itu pun berubah menjadi cerah.
Ini adalah pertama kalinya ada orang lain yang menggunakan ulang tahun Jian Xiaoqiao sebagai kode rahasia. Jian Xiaoqiao merasa sangat tersentuh!
Setelah layar kunci terbuka, Jian Xiaoqiao terkejut saat menyadari wallpaper ponsel Gu Yishen adalah fotonya yang sedang tidur.
"Kamu menjadikanku wallpaper?" Tanya Jian Xiaoqiao.
"Iya."
Gu Yishen merasa sangat malu saat ditanya pertanyaan itu. Ini adalah pertama kalinya Gu Yishen menggunakan foto orang lain sebagai wallpaper ponselnya.
"Kalau kamu menginginkannya, seharusnya kamu mengatakannya lebih awal. Foto ini tidak cantik!"
Jian Xiaoqiao kemudian membuka kamera dan mengambil selfie, setelah itu dia menggunakan fotonya sebagai wallpaper.
"Lihatlah. Tidakkah ini cantik?" Di wallpaper ponsel Gu Yishen, terlihat wajah Jian Xiaoqiao yang tersenyum cerah dengan mata yang bulat. Imut sekali!
"Kalau kamu ingin mengatur WeChat, aturlah dengan cepat!"
"Oh iya!" Jian Xiaoqiao baru mengingatnya, dia kemudian membuat sebuah akun WeChat untuk Gu Yishen. Setelah itu Jian Xiaoqiao menambahkan Lin Xi, Jian Mingrui dan Jian Mingrui ke dalam kontak WeChat Gu Yishen.
"Lain kali kamu bisa melakukan chat. Aku sudah menambahkan kakak-kakakku dan Lin Xi sebagai temanmu. Mereka akan menerima permintaan pertemanan itu saat mereka sudah melihatnya."
Setelah menerima kembali ponselnya, Gu Yishen mengangguk lalu memikirkan bahwa dia dulu menggunakan MSN dan Facebook. Sekarang…
WeChat?
Sebenarnya Gu Yishen tidak menyukai nama itu. Kenapa harus WeChat?
Gu Yishen menghela nafas, tidak lama kemudian ponselnya pun bergetar.
Dia mengambil ponselnya lalu melihat Lin Xi yang mengirim sebuah emoticon.
"Xiaoqiao, Lin Xi sedang on?"
"Iya. Dia sedang chatting denganku."
"Oh!" Gu Yishen lalu memilih sebuah emoticon dan mengirimnya.
Gu Yishen kemudian mengambil video Jian Xiaoqiao yang sedang makan. Sebenarnya… lumayan juga!
Di sisi lain, Jian Xiaoqiao tertawa terbahak-bahak saat melihat video yang dikirimkan oleh Gu Yishen.
Tidak dibayangkan pergi ke luar negeri membuat mereka berdua sangat senang dan romantis. Saat di luar negeri kali ini, perasaan mereka berdua semakin kuat, kan?
Bagaimana dengan Lin Xi dan Jian Mingrui?
Lin Xi menghela nafas panjang. Suasana hatinya memburuk saat memikirkan bahwa besok dia harus pergi ke luar negeri.
"Lin Xi, sudah larut malam. Tidurlah lebih awal!" Seru Ibu Lin yang berjalan masuk ke kamar sambil membawa segelas susu.
"Aku tahu, Mommy. Aku sedang bertukar pesan dengan Xiaoqiao. Dia sedang pergi ke luar negeri. Dia mengatakan kalau dia sudah sampai. Aku akan membalasnya lalu tidur."
"Oh, Xiaoqiao." Ibu Lin duduk di sebelah Lin Xi lalu mengatakan, "Xiaoqiao adalah gadis yang baik. Lagi pula kakak-kakaknya adalah orang yang terkenal di kota A. Kalau ada kesempatan, kamu bisa berhubungan dengan kakak-kakaknya. Mereka akan membantu saat nanti kamu sudah menjalankan perusahaan."
Lin Xi mengangguk sambil memegang tangan ibunya lalu mengatakan, "Aku mengerti, Mommy. Sekarang sudah malam, Mommy juga harus beristirahat."

Chapter 15. General Cleaning
        
         
"CAN you get my keys? Nasa bag," sambit ni Lia kay Leonard na nasa likuran na pala niya. Ang shoulder bag niya ay nasa bandang puson at hindi niya makuha ang susi dahil hinahawakan niya ang mga pagkain. 

"I'll just hold the foods," namamaos na untag nito. 

"Kunin mo na iyong susi," balewala niya sa inalok nito. Kung ipapasa sa kasi niya rito ang mga pagkain ay baka dumulas lang ang isang paper bag. 

He sighed heavily and opened her small bag. Napasinghap siya nang dumiin ng bahagya ang braso nito sa katawan niya. Tila nakuryenteng humiwalay si Leonard. 

"Just hold the food," bulalas niya at walang sabi-sabing ipinasa ang hawak na mga brown bag dito. Siya na ang kumuha ng susi at nagbukas ng pinto. 

Nang makapasok ay inilapag ni Leonard ang pagkain sa mesa. She turned on the fan and the air conditioner para agad na lumamig. 

"I want to take a shower pero mamaya na," sambit niya habang inaasikaso ni Leonard ang hapag. Tila nahihirapan pang sambitin iyon. 

"You can take a shower," anito. Umiling siya. Baka matagalan pa siya't maghintay ito ng matagal. Kaya lang kasi, pakiramdam niya'y nanlilimahid siya dahil hindi siya nakaligo kagabi. 

"Kumain na muna tayo," aniya. "Mamaya na lang ako maliligo, pagkaalis mo."

"That's better," tila nakahingang maluwag na untag nito. 

Nang mahapag na ang pagkain ay kumain na rin sila. 

"Anong oras ka pwede bukas?" 

"Kahit anong oras mo gusto." 

"Hmm, maaga kaya? Para maagang matapos? Balak ko rin kasing mag-general cleaning. Kung mapapansin mo, kalat-kalat ang mga papel at kung anu-ano dahil sa pagre-review ko," sabi niya habang lumilingon sa paligid. 

"What time do you like me to go?" 

"Bandang seven?" 

"Alright," agad na sagot nito. 

Matapos kumain ay ilang saglit lang silang nagkwentuhan at nagpaalam nang umuwi si Leonard. Mukhang gusto na rin nitong mag-shower dahil hindi sila naligo kanina bago umalis ng Baguio. 

Maaga siyang natulog dahil maaga rin siyang gigising. Humahangos pa siya nang marinig ang marahang pagkatok sa pinto. 

"Sandali," aniya at kinuha ang bath towel na nakasabit sa rack. Ibinalabal niya iyon sa katawan dahil naka-sando lang siya at short. Pagkuwa'y binuksan ang pinto.

Gusto niyang pagsarhan ulit ng pinto nang makitang si Leonard iyon. Preskong-presko ito samantalang siya'y mukhang nilamukos na papel. 

"Good morning," nakangiting bati nito at agad ding napawi ang ngiti nang matingnan siya. Nag-iwas agad ito ng tingin. "I'll just, uh, go back later." 

"Pasok ka," agap niya. 

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed you from sleeping. Dumating ako kaninang alas sais pero hindi ka sumagot sa tawag ko. I waited outside to wait for your call or text. Pero mag-a-alas otso na kasi. Nag-aalala lang akong baka may nangyari sa iyo," mahabang paliwanang nito. He's just wearing a casual clothing. White running shoes, kupas ang maong at... itim na sando! Kapansin-pansin ang muscles nito sa biceps! 

Mahabaging langit! Maraming salamat sa biyaya! 

"Pasok ka," parang sirang-plakang ulit niya. 

Nakangiti ito nang tumalima. 

"I bought us some breakfast," bahagya nitong itinass ang kamay kung saang may bitbit na pagkain. Hindi pa rin ito makatingin ng diretso sa kanya. 

"Salamat," aniya at kinuha iyon. Dumiretso siya sa hapag at nilagay sa mesa ang supot ng pagkain. May kape rin itong dala mula sa isang sikat na mamahaling coffee shop. "Magpapalit lang ako ng pang-itaas," paalam niya at iniwang nakaupo si Leonard sa sofa. 

Naghilamos lang siya ng mukha at nagpalit ng pang-itaas. She's wearing an oversized shirt now. Nang lumabas siya ay hindi na tinanggal ni Leonard ang pagkakatitig sa kanya.

"Why? May dumi ba sa mukha ko?"

Umiling ito. "Kumain muna tayo," alok nito at pumwesto na sa hapag. He's really moving inside her place as if he owned it. His presence was dominating yet so relaxing to see.

Sana'y palagi siyang narito, Bulong niya sa isipan. Pakiramdam niya ay nagkabuhay ang munti niyang tirahan.

Matapos kumain ay nagsimula siya sa pagtanggal ng kaunting agiw, at ngayo'y nagsisimula na siya sa pagkuskos ng mga kagamitan. Si Leonard ay abala sa pagtanggal ng wallpaper.

Pasulyap-sulyap siya rito ay nakikita niya kung paanong umiigting ang muscles nito sa tywing babaklasin nito ang wallpaper. Parang gusto niyang panggigilan iyon.

"Is there something wrong?"

Hala! Nahuli pa yata siya nitong parang naglalaway sa katawan nito. 

"Ah, eh, wala naman. Ano lang. P-Pasensya na kasi ang sinabi ko'y magpapalit lang ng wallpaper. Pero mukhang dawit ka na sa pagje-general cleaning ko," palusot niya at nag-peace sign pa.

"Ayos lang, Lia. You can always call me whenever you want. Huwag mo nang tatawagin ang Jogel na iyon sa tuwing may gusto kang bilhin o gawin," inis na wika nito.

Natawa na lang siya. Hindi siya sigurado kung bakit parang naiinis ito. Baka napapagod na.

"Mamasahiin kita mamaya, pambayad ko sa tulong na ginawa mo."

For a second, his eyes were tantalising. Agad na tumalim iyon at tumingin sa kanya. "Do you always do that to your friend whenever he helps you?" madilim na tanong not, diniinan ang salitang friend.

"What? Hindi, 'no!"

Totoo naman kasi iyon. Kahit daliri ng Jogel Felix na iyon ay hindi niya mamasahiin.

Tumalikod lang ito at nagpatuloy sa pagbabaklas ng wallpaper. Mukhang galit na galit sa pobreng mala-kawayan na disenyo ng kanyang wallpaper.

Lumapit siya rito at bahagyang pinisil ang matigas nitong braso para kunin ang atensyon nito. Nabigla ito at muntik na siyang maitulak. Nag-aalala itong tiningnan siya. 

"Pagod ka na ba?" she asked. Maybe she'll offer him to rest for a while. 

"I'm not tired," masungit na anito.

"Nagdadabog ka na kasi. Okay lang kahit ako na lang magtanggal niyan. Ikaw na ang maglagay ng panibago mamaya."

"Atalia, I'm fine. Doon ka na sa mga gamit mo. Asikasuhin mo na nang matapos agad ang paglilinis," mahinahon na ang boses nito ngayon.

Laglag ang balikat na lumayo siya. Napilitan lang ba itong tulungan siya? He should be having his vacation right now pero heto't pinagbabaklas niya ng wallpaper. 

"Lia," masuyong tawag nito sa kanya. She stopped and faced him. "I'm not mad, okay? At gustung-gusto kitang tulungan. Huwag mong isipin na ayaw ko itong ginagawa ko," marahan at tila nanunuyong wika nito. Somehow, she felt relieved. Bakit kapag si Leonard, alam na alam nito ang nasa isipan niya? Bumaling siya rito para ngitian ito. 

"Salamat," she mouthed. 

'Tsaka binalikan na niya ang mga container kung saan nakatago ang kanyang mga gamit. She's going to open those later and sort her things out para mabawasan ang mga kalat sa kanyang apartment.

"I like you too much but I am hurting too much, too, Lia. Maybe I'll just adore you from afar. No... I don't like you anymore." 

Gumuhit ang sakit sa sikmura niya. 

"I have already fallen for your charm..." malat na siwalat ni Leonard. "And I know you can't reciprocate my feelings for you. So I've been thinking that maybe... just maybe..."

Pumikit ito nang mariin at nang magmulat ay pulang-pula na ang mga mata. Pakiramdam niya ay inugat ang kanyang mga paa sa kinatatayuan sa sobrang seryoso at hirap ng pagsasabi nito sa kanya. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin. Tumayo ito at sinapo ang kanyang baba para magtama ang kanilang mga paningin. 

"Maybe what?" lakas-loob niyang tanong.

"Loving you is enough."

"Teka, teka! Wag kang excited dyan!"
 
Sigaw ni Yvonne kay Lyka na inaabot ang kaniyang phone na kaniya namang inilalayo rito. Samantalang si Jervin nama'y pinapanuod lamang ang dalawang dalaga habang nakaupo sakaniyang kama at hawak ang kaniyang phone.
 
"Masama na ba maging excited?! Patingin lang naman ako ng phone mo!"
 
Sabi naman ni Lyka kay Yvonne habang inaabot pa rin nito ang phone ng dalaga. Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Jervin habang pinapanuod ang dalawang dalaga at saka panay pindot na sakaniyang phone.
 
"Kamusta na kayo dyan, kuya Josh?"
 
Biglang tanong ni Jervin kay Josh habang nakatingin ito sakaniyang phone. Agad na natigil ang dalawang dalaga sakanilang ginagawa at saka tinignan ang binata.
 
"Seryoso ba yan?"
 
Tanong ni Yvonne kay Jervin habang pinanlalakihan na nito ng mata ang binata. Tinignan na ng binata ang dalaga at saka hinarap na ang screen ng kaniyang phone sa dalaga upang ipakita ang galit na Josh sakanila.
 
"Ikaw! Pasaway kang bata ka! Hindi mo man lang ako sinabihan na alam pala ni Jay na maglalayas ka!"
 
Sigaw ni Josh kay Yvonne habang naka video call kay Jervin. Pinanlakihan ng mga mata ng binata ang dalaga, samantalang si Lyka nama'y naupo na sa sofa habang nakatingin na ito sa phone ng binata.
 
"Ano?! Nasan si Jay?! Sabi ko sakaniya wag niyang ipahalata na alam niya, e! Pisti ung lalaking un! Kahit kelan hindi siya sumunod sakin!"
 
Inis na sigaw naman ni Yvonne kay Jay sabay lapag na ng kaniyang phone sa coffee table na nasa harapan ni Lyka at saka pinagbababato na ang mga unan na nakalagay sa sofa sa kung saan-saan. Habang abalang mag wala ang dalaga'y mabilis na kinuha ng matalik na kaibigan ang phone nito at nasilayan ang wallpaper ng dalaga.
 
"Ahh… kaya pala ayaw mong ipakita sakin ung phone mo dahil dito."
 
Nakangiting sabi ni Lyka kay Yvonne sabay pakita na ng picture ng dalaga at ni Jervin na magka akbay at nakangiti kila Josh at sa binata. Mabilis namang namula ang mukha ng binata at saka ibinaba ang kaniyang phone upang hindi makita ng dwende ang wallpaper ng phone ng dalaga. Nagulantang ang Bampira sa ginawa ng binata kaya't pinanlakihan niya ito ng mata, samantalang ang dalaga nama'y mabilis na hinablot ang kaniyang phone mula sa matalik na kaibigan, tinignan ang binata at saka tumakbo na tungo sakaniyang kama, dumapa roon at saka ibinaon ang kaniyang mukha sa unan.
 
"H-hoy! Jervin! Anong ginawa mo?! Ba't nawala si Yvonne at Lyka?! Jervin!"
 
Tawag ni Josh kay Jervin kaya't natauhan na ang binata at iniangat niyang muli ang kaniyang phone upang ipakitang muli sina Lyka at Yvonne sa dwende. Ilang saglit pa ay tumawa ng malakas ang Bampira hanggang sa mapahiga na siya roon sa sofa, dahilan upang hindi makaimik ang binata ang dwende. Dahan-dahan nang iniharap ng binata ang screen ng phone sakaniyang sarili at saka tinignan na ang dwende.
 
"Anong nangyari kay Lyka?"
 
Takang tanong ni Josh kay Jervin habang magkadikit ang kilay nitong nakatingin sa binata. Umiling at nag kibit balikat lamang ang binata bilang tugon nito sa tanong sakaniya ng dwende at saka tinignan na si Yvonne na nakadapa pa rin sa kama nito at nakabaon pa rin ang mukha.
 
"Tumawag na sila kuya Josh?"
 
Tanong ni Justin kay Josh sabay tingin na rin nito kay Jervin na hindi nakatingin sa screen ng kaniyang phone. Tinignan ng nakatatandang dwende ang nakababatang dwende at saka ibinigay na rito ang phone ni Yvonne na iniwan sakanila.
 
"Jervin, nasan si Yvonne? Pwede paka usap ako?"
 
Tanong ni Justin kay Jervin nang tuluyan na niyang makuha ang phone ni Yvonne mula kay Josh. Tinignan na ng binata ang screen ng kaniyang phone at nasilayan ang mukha ng nakababatang dwende.
 
"Oh? Hello, kuya Jah."
 
Bati ni Jervin kay Justin habang nakatingin pa rin ito sa screen ng kaniyang phone. Nang marinig ang pangalan ng dwende ay mabilis na huminto si Lyka sakaniyang pagtawa at si Yvonne nama'y mabilis na naupo sakaniyang kama at saka tinignan ang binata. Tumakbo na papalapit ang Bampira sa binata kaya't mabilis namang binitawan ng binata ang kaniyang phone at lumayo roon upang maka iwas sa Bampira. Nakangiting kinuha ng Bampira ang phone ng binata at saka iniharap na sakaniyang sarili ang screen nito.
 
"Hi kuya Jah~!"
 
Masayang bati ni Lyka kay Justin sabay lakad na pabalik sa sofa na kaniyang inuupuan kanina habang hawak pa rin ang phone ni Jervin at nakatingin pa rin sa screen ng phone ng binata. Mabilis na naglakad si Yvonne tungo sa sofa na kinauupuan ng matalik na kaibigan, habang ang binata nama'y tumakbo na tungo sa kama ng dalaga, kinuha ang phone ng dalaga at doon na naupo.
 
"Kuya Jah! Miss na kita!"
 
Sabi ni Yvonne kay Justin habang nakanguso ito at nakatingin na rin sa phone ni Jervin na hawak ni Lyka. Nang makita ng dwende ang dalaga'y mabilis itong naluha habang nakangiti ito. Nginitian pabalik ng dalaga ang dwende habang ang matalik na kaibigan naman nito ay napabusangot na habang palipat-lipat ang kaniyang tingin sa dalaga at sa phone ng binata.
 
"Yvonne naman, e! Bakit mong ginawang wallpaper ung picture nating dalawa?!"
 
Tanong ni Jervin kay Yvonne sabay tingin na nito sa dalaga habang hawak pa rin ang phone nito. Mabilis na nilingon nila Lyka at ng dalaga ang binata at saka pinakita na rin ng Bampira ang binata kay Justin na pinapanuod na ang ginagawa ng binata.
 
"Hoy! Wag mo na palitan! Sasapakin kita pag pinalitan mo yan!"
 
Sigaw ni Yvonne kay Jervin sabay tayo na nito mula sakaniyang pagkakaupo sa sofa at saka takbo na tungo sakaniyang kama kung saan naroroon ang binata. Ngumiti tumayo na rin si Lyka at saka nagtungo na rin sa kama ng dalaga habang hawak pa rin nito ang phone ng binata.
 
"Nakakahiya kila Lyka! Mapag kamalan pa nila na mag boyfriend-girlfriend na tayo!"
 
Tugon naman ni Jervin kay Yvonne sabay talikod nito sa dalaga habang patuloy pa rin nitong pinapakelaman ang phone nito. Tinabihan na ni Lyka ang binata at saka pinanuod ito sa pagkalikot nito sa phone ng dalaga habang nakatapat ang phone ng binata roon.
 
"Selfie tayo tas un na lang ung gawin mong wallpaper sa phone ni Yvonne!"
 
Nakangiting sabi ni Lyka kay Jervin sabay pindot ng home button ng phone ni Yvonne, hinanap ang camera, pinindot iyon at saka kumuha na silang dalawa ng binata ng litrato nang magkasama. Matapos kumuha ng litrato ay kaagad na ginawang wallpaper iyon ng binata sa phone ng dalaga. Nang maka luhod na ang dalaga sa likuran ng matalik na kaibigan at ng binata ay galit niyang tinignan ang dalawa mula sa likuran nito at saka pinag-untog na ang dalawa habang masama pa rin ang kaniyang tingin.
 
"Mga pisti kayong dalawa. Humanda kayo sakin!"

"Diba gusto mong mawala ung mga problema at sakit na nararamdaman mo? Kung ganon... sasama ka ba sa paglayas ko?" -Yvonne Tamayo

"Ughh." Aku terbangun dengan keadaan kepala sangat sakit.

Kesan pertama yang sangat buruk, tidak, lebih buruknya lagi aku terbangun di sebuah ruangan yang teramat asing.

Aku tidak tau apa yang terjadi.

Ruangan kumuh ini, memiliki satu pintu yang diganjal dengan lemari baju.

Melihat sekeliling tidak ada orang selain diriku, membuatku yakin bahwa akulah orang yang telah menutup rapat-rapat pintu itu.

"Tapi apa yang sebenarnya terjadi?" Pikiranku.

Aku kemudian berdiri dengan tujuan untuk mendekati pintu putih itu dan mencari tahu sesuatu, belum sempat melangkah tiba-tiba dari dalam kantong celanaku jatuh sebuah smartphone.

Sekarang, perhatianku terarah ke smartphone asing itu.

Layarnya menunjukkan batre berwarna merah dan dikunci dengan kode angka, enam angka untuk membuka smartphonenya.

Jika ini adalah smartphone ku, seharusnya aku ingat berapa kodenya.

"Ayolah berpikir idiot!!!" Umpatku kesal.

Percuma saja berpikir, aku tidak dapat mengingat apapun.

Lock screennya memiliki wallpaper merah gelap dengan tulisan berbahasa Inggris.

{You think, your a flower?}

"Aduh gimana nih, smartphonenya sebentar lagi bakal mati."

Merasa mendapatkan ide, kemudian kecerahan layar yang sebelumnya maksimal, aku turunkan ke yang paling rendah.

Sekarang di lock screen, wallpaper berubah menjadi hitam namun dengan tulisan berbeda.

{S33 Y0U 1N D4RK S1D3}

"Hmm? See you in dark side?" Pikiranku.

"331413" Kataku setelah mengamati wallpaper itu kembali.

Setelah mencoba kode itu, hasilnya sama saja, tidak bisa untuk membuka smartphone sialan ini.

"Hah!" 

(DUG DUG DUG)

Suara ketukan, mungkin lebih ke arah kepalan tangan yang ditinju ke arah pintu putih itu, pintu yang membuatku penasaran kenapa di ganjal.

"Hei! Aku didalam!" Teriakku.

Suara itu kemudian terhenti dan saat itu aku mulai mencoba menggeser lemari baju yang mengganjal.

(KRENGGG....)

Suara pukulan itu kemudian berubah menjadi suara gergaji kayu.

Dengan nada berat, seseorang yang sedang memegang gergaji itu terkekeh geli dan gergaji itu mulai menyentuh pintu, untungnya lemari disini masih mengganjalnya.

Panik, itu yang terjadi.

Aku tidak tau apa yang terjadi dan apa yang akan terjadi, suara gergaji kayu itu semakin menggelegar, mengoyak pintu putih itu.

Sekarang aku terbujur kaku dan membisu, keringat dingin dengan cepat membasahi ku. Aku tidak tau harus apa dan bagaimana, tangan kananku yang sedang memegang smartphone bergetar tak terkendali.

"Bukankah suara itu menakutkan? Atau apakah dia orang baik? Apakah aku akan selamat?"

Pertanyaan - pertanyaan membanjiri pikiranku, aku takut, sangat takut, siapapun tolong aku.

Aku lupa apa yang terjadi, lebih tepatnya aku tidak dapat mengingatnya lagi.

Yang sedang terjadi saat ini, aku terbangun di sebuah ruangan yang pintunya diganjal dari dalam.

Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi?
