ICY PLANNED to roam around the village. Sa dami ng inasikaso niya kahapon napagpasyahan niya na ngayon nalang lumabas at magstroll. Balak niya sana magdrive para mapabilis ang paglilibot nito, pero hindi siya marunong magmaneho.
She wore a red halter crop top paired with black cargo pants and flat sandals. Isinuot nito ang headphone saka pinagtutog ang mga kanta ni Taylor Swift. Ang buhok nitong nakalugay ay malayang tinatangay ng hangin. As she put her hands in her pocket, she started to walk around.
Isa lang ang masasabi nito. The houses are huge and well-designed. She can't help but be in awe. Honestly, the real reason she wanted to stroll was to see the architecture inside the village. Para mas mamotivate pa siyang gumawa ng interior design at houses. Add to that the fact that she loves and enjoys watching architecture that much. Well, she's an engineer slash interior designer after all.
Huminto ito sa pinakabonggang bahay o palasyo sa loob ng village. Its colors are beige, white, and golden, and it looks like a modern palace with a wide swimming pool outside. Nakakalula ang laki ng swimming pool, mas malawak pa iyon sa bahay niya para tuloy sinampal ng kahirapan. The ornaments and trees are in the right places. The cozy lampshade is everywhere. Sigurado ito na mas grande ng tingin ng bahay sa gabi.
While she's admiring the view, she sees two men talking while walking, coming out of the mansion's grand door. Icy stared at the other man. He looks familiar to her, but she can't remember where she saw this man. Mabilis siya na umakto na parang dumadaan ng malapit na ang dalawa sa gate. She looked at them and gave a small smile, then acted innocently before walking straight in her house direction.
Pagod na si Icy sa paglalakad, kaya huminto na muna siya sa gilid ng kalsada kung saan may kahoy na paupuan. Hindi niya namalayan na napalayo siya ng napuntahan sa sobrang enjoy kanina.
She's walking peacefully when a car stops beside her. Puno ng pagtataka na lumingon ang dalaga sakto na bumaba naman ang bintana ng sasakyan. Agad niyang nakita ang kulay hazel na mata ng lalaki. Ito iyong tinutukoy niya na pamilyar kanina. He's riding a Bugatti La Voiture Noire. Isa lang naman yon sa pinakamahal na sports car sa buong mundo. Ilang beses ba na ipapamukha ng mga tao dito na hindi siya karapat-dapat na manirahan dito?
"Need a ride, little miss?"
Umasim ang mukha ni Icy. Litlle miss? She's definitely not little.
"No need" she said with confidence.
"But your feet don't look okay" saad nito habang nakatingin sa paanan niya.
"So?" pagtataray nito.
Icy just want to be careful, that's why.
"I don't mean harm" he sincerely said.
"Then, should I assume that the people here are kind?"
"You can say that."
Ngumiti ang lalaki. Hindi maiwasan ni Icy ang mapatitig dito. His smile is so sweet, sincere, sexy, hot, and pretty.
"Hop in?"
Tumango si Icy sa binata.
"Okay"
Pagod narin siya sa kalalakad at kanina pa sumasakit 'yong paa niya.
The guy went out and opened the door for her. Tumaas ang kilay ni Icy, kasi hindi niya iyon inaasahan. Isinawalang bahala niya iyon at inisip na mabait lang talaga mga tao dito. Pagkapasok nito sa loob ng sasakyan binalot ng panlalakeng pabango ang kaniyang ilonh.
"Tell me where do you live" saad ng binata habang tumango si Icy bilang sagot "here in the Philippines" dagdag ng binata.
Pinangliitan niya ito ng mata. Naguluhan ito sa sinabi niya ng binata.
