"Ma'am" Ani ng sekretarya ko.
"Wala pa bang balita?" Tanong ko habang naka upo sa swivel chair ko.
"Wala po talaga ma'am. Even our best hackers and investigators can't track them" Malumay nito na saad.
"You can go now" I dismissed her.
Napa sabunot ako sa sarili ko dahil sa stress at problema.
I don't have time for this! I don't want to disturb Jet. He's also busy.
I don't want my family to know about this. Ngayon lang sila nakaka pahinga. I don't want them na mag-alala.
My friends.....no. They don't have to know about this.
I can only think of one person to ask for help..
Uzon.
I remember that one time when we were together.. Hindi ako nagpaalam sa kanya na may pupuntahan ako and she tracked my phone in an instant..
But why would i?
Napakagat ako sa ilalim na labi ko knowing I don't have a fucking choice.
I picked up my phone and dialed her number. I hope she still uses the same one.
"Hello?" Napasinghap ako. Her hoarse voice welcomed me.
I cleared my throat before speaking.
"Hi—"
"Holy shit! Ylliana?!" Pinutol nya ang sasabihin ko ng sumigaw ito.
"Come here. Funtamuerte's 3rd company, asap" Saad ko at hindi na hinintay pa ang reply nito.
Ilang minuto ay nagpaalam ang aking sekretarya kung pwede ba itong pumasok.
"Let her come in" Saad ko. Narinig ko namn ang faint na 'you can go now miss' ng sekretarya ko.
Hinintay ko na magbukas ang pinto and there she is the goddess— the devil of my life.
Nakangisi ulit.
"Namiss mo'ko no?" She smugly asked as she sat down.
"Kapal. I just need your help" Inirapan ko ito.
"Why? Can't pleasure yourself— Aray!" Putangina ano daw?!
Hindi nya natapos ang kanyang nasabi dahil binato ko sa kanya ng ballpen na hinahawakan ko.
"Ang violent naman mahal" Napakagat ako sa'king ilalim na labi pero natauhan rin ako.
"Hindi landi mo ang kailangan ko Uzon" I stared as her.
"Then what?" She leaned in.
I leaned back and held a paper to her face.
Kinuha nya naman ito despite of her confused face.
"I need your help to track a thieve in my company" Monotone ko na saad.
"Ito lang ba? Chos easy peasy" Ngumisi ito at hinarap sa kanya ang laptop ko.
But she stopped midway.
"I'll help you, but i want something in return" She uttered.
Tinaas ko sya ng kilay.
"Name your price—" She cut me off.
"It's not money i want Ylliana" Prangkang saad nito.
"Then what?" I asked. I can give her anything naman, so it's not a problem.
"You" Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"I'm sorry, what?" I muttered.
"I want you" She said which caught me off guard.
"Pardon me?"
"I said i want you" Aba at inulit pa talaga?!
"No" Tipid kong sagot.
"Suit yourself" Tumayo ito.
"Your company is a mess" She said while walking away.
"You need my help" She continued.
I bit my lip. She's right, i need her help badly. I know how to hack but im not a professional.
"If you want to fix your problem. You just have to say yes" She added temptingly.
But her condition?! Me?? She could ask for anything but she chose me.
"After all. No one could do a better job than me..."
Nagdadalawang isip na ako. My mind is a mess and i can't handle it if another problem occured.
I heaved a deep sigh.
"Fine..." I looked up to see her smirking in the doorway.
Lumapit ito saakin still wearing that smirk of hers. Gosh i hate and love it at the same time!
Umupo ito sa tapat ko at nag umpisa ng mag type ng kung ano ano.
She's fast..
I wonder what other things that slinder hands of hers can do.
I'm tired. I stood up and walked away but she held my hand.
"Where are you going?" Tanong nito.
"To sleep" Sagot ko naman.
"Okay" Sagot nito at binitawan ang kamay ko.
I was about to turn away when she suddenly stood up, held my waist firm with her left arm and pecked me on the lips.
I was too stunned to speak..
"W-why did you do that?!" I stuttered.
"Because i can?" She said rhetorically with a grin plastered in her face.
My eyebrows are furrowed as i bit my bottom lip to suppress the smile.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" She said teasingly.
"Ugh whatever!" I spat and then walked away. A smile form on my lips as i enter my bedroom.
"Stop fucking smiling Ylliana! Baka ma halata nya!" Suway ko sa sarili ko.
I heaved a deep sigh and walked to the bed.
I need sleep.
* * *
I woke up when i felt someone grab my waist from behind.
"Uzon? What are you doing?" I asked.
"Hmm just sleep" She uttered.
"Ano ba, alis ka nga" Siniko ko ito.
"I'm tired" She said lowly, i felt her breath in my nape. Goosebumps.
"The bed is big. Sleep on the other side" I said but I didn't get a response.
"Uzon?" I asked.
"Uzon, hey—" I turned around and saw her sleeping figure.
With the light of the moon, i saw her angelic but tired face. She has dark circles under her eyes.
I heaved a sigh and scooted closer to her.
"You look like a fallen angel" I started to caress her cheeks.
"Yet.... you're like a devil" I chuckled at myself.
"I feel like im lucky, and unlucky at the same time" I moved the scattered strands of her hair and tucked it behind her ears.
"I feel so lucky to have you, to hold you, to want and need you. I feel so lucky to have you by my side. Lucky enough to know you still love me after 7 years" I gently caressed her cheeks.
"I feel so unlucky to have been away from you for so long. I feel so unlucky because I didn't get to be with you long enough for me to understand that you didn't do anything wrong to make our relationship break. You were only trying to protect me" I said as my eyes started to swell.
"How can someone be this perfect love me huh? Do i deserve you? Uzon?" I chuckled.
"You don't know how much i missed you Uzon. Every second, minute, hour, day, month, and year. I didn't go a single day without thinking about you" I uttered smoothly.
I leaned in closer to her face.
"I love you, my love, my world, my everything" I uttered lowly then pecked her on the lips.
I positioned myself just right and then covered both of our body with the blanket.
I smiled as i saw her arm still wrapped around my waist.
I laid down beside her and pecked her on the cheek.
"Good night" I uttered.
I let sleepiness take over me. Finally, i can have a peaceful slumber..

Ewan ko sayo lili!🙈
For people who are confused of Uzon and Alissa
Uzon - Torpe, selosa, strict, mahinhin manamit, cold and has that ironic stoic face but gets all shy and flustered pag kaharap na si Ylliana.
Alissa - Cool, flirt, moves like a masc, not shy, full of herself, Uzon's alter, she would do anything to get what she wants. Hindi takot na lapitan si Ylliana.
Uzon Alissa - basically all of the above. Na split lang ang personality nya kaya ganon ang ugali ni Uzon at Alissa.
You noticed how Alissa does not behave like normal? That's because Alissa is the playgirl alter of Uzon. Hindi naman sya playgirl na literal pero yung ugali nya ganon talaga.
Kapag nawala na ang DID ni Uzon mag co-combine na ang personality nilang dalawa ni Alissa at babalik sya sa original identity at babalik din ang original na personalized nya.
Uzon and Alissa have that strong bond kaya naalala ni Alissa O ni Uzon man kung ano ang pinag-gagawa ng isa sa kanila. + Nakakapag usap sila at nakikita kung ano ang ginagawa ng isa.
