The sun has shone but Sandy was restless on her bed. She didn’t have the energy to rise up. She felt lifeless. She didn’t know if it was because of boredom or the fact that Ice was really different to her these past few days.
Yes, he would offer her breakfast, would talk to her regarding some things but… he’s totally different. Hindi na ito namumuna sa kanya everytime na may ginagawa syang mali. He would just let her do the things she wanted to do. Hindi na nito pinagbabawalan syang lumabas kapag inaaya sya ni Mitch na magbar hopping. Hindi na ito ganun kaconcern sa kung anong mang gawin nya.
And that’s what made Sandy felt so frustrated.
Ano bang ginawa nya para ganituhin sya ni Ice? May problema ba ito sa kanya? Mas okay pa yata yung mga unang beses na nagbabangayan sila dahil lang sa differences nila. She knows, Ice is giving her the silent and cold treatment. At hindi nya alam kung bakit.
She then decided to open her laptop, opened the MS word and typed something that had first came up in her mind.
“Lifeless, I lay down my bed
Wanted to tell him but just write this instead
Cold, his eyes and his treatment
I wonder what those could have meant.”
Sandy looked at her screen and she was shocked to see those words she had just written. What the… was she really worrying about Ice’s coldness to her now? Pero… bakit? She was this girl who most likely wouldn’t care to any person around her or how is she being treated.
She sighed at the thought… pero bakit nga kaya ganun si Ice sa kanya?

“Hey Ice. May problema ka ba sakin?” She crossed her arms as she threw that question to Ice.
Mukhang gulat ang binata nang tuluyan na itong makapasok sa loob. Kakagaling lang nito ngayon sa trabaho. Tiningnan nya si Sandy, pagkaraan ay umiwas din ng tingin at nilagpasan lamang ito.
“Wala naman.” Sabi ni Ice. Dumirecho ito sa kusina at kumuha ng tubig na maiinom. Sinundan sya ni Sandy.
“Really? But… what’s this? Why are you going me the cold shoulder?” She asked.
“Huh? Am I?” He said, sounding clueless of what she just said.
“Oo! I don’t know what happened to you. But this thing… it just really sucks right now. Is this because of what happened in the bar? It has been ages since the night it happened. Diba, nagsorry na naman ako sayo about that. But… you know, you’re totally different now. It’s as if I did something unforgivable.” She retorted.
“Why, did you do something like that?”
His question made Sandy dumbfounded. It was as if Ice said it as if he knew… as if he knew her lies… But… that is impossible, she thought. She trusted Mitch… Hindi nito magagawang sabihin ang sikreto nya kay Ice. She could not think of any possible means of Ice knowing her fake pregnancy.
“W-why, of course I didn’t.” She swallowed the lump in her throat. Dammit! Why is she feeling nervous right now? She cleared her throat and said, “T-that’s why, I’m wondering why it seems like you’re giving me the silent treatment.”
She bit her lower lip. Mahirap pala ang magsinungaling sa ganitong kabait na tao. Pero… ano namang magagawa nya? Nandito na to eh. It’s not as if she could change anything that’s happened.
“Oh? Maybe… I’m just tired.” He said simply.
Sandyj ust nodded at him but deep down inside her, she doubts if that’s the case. Something is telling her that there is really something with Ice. Pero ano nga kaya yun?
