It was just a small city. In the quiet morning, another cycle of day and night began; though none could tell wether the day was the beginning or was it the night? None would be bothered to think about it.

In this serenity, another day just meant to be the same routine for the woman named Mia Ford. She continued to serve those customers who was looking for the warmth amidst the cold air surrounding them.

Yet, they didn't notice her cold heart was the same as those snow outside, frozen. She continued to smile. It was subtle, and if one didn't really pay attention close enough they wouldn't be able to notice that the smile just forced.

If those people proclaimed to hate fakeness, then they would hate that smile, or even her. But, she wouldn't care anyway.

"The customers this morning is really more crowded than yesterday." Seina, the other waitress who worked alongside her exclaimed.

Mia just glanced at her briefly and didn't speak. The other person seemed to be used to her quietness. After all, when Mia wasn't facing the those customers, she was really a cold person. It was what Seina learned after they worked together for more than three years.

"Mia, how's your son?"

Yet, there was only one person that would melt those coldest ice. Mia finally looked at Seina, her eyebrow was raised. "Why are you talking about my son?"

Seina seemed to be happy that Mia was willing to talk to her. They had served all of the customers, and finally got some break in between that they can have some talk.

Seina shrugged her shoulder. "I am just missing that cutie. Don't act like that to me. I also considered that kid as my nephew."

Mia didn't have too much emotion on her face right now, but inside, she was quite helpless. In her lonely time, her son, Aiden Ford was the only source of the warmth. So, it was natural that she was so protective of him.

"Alright." Mia nodded and didn't speak more. She moved away as soon as she saw someone raising their hand.

Seina blinked at her friend, and just sighed softly. But, she was also a patient person. She had past, and Mia also had one. They never talked about it to each other, but their level of understanding of one another was also deeper.

Mia sometimes would care for her, despite that cold mask she would always put on the crowd; besides when she was working. Seina also knew about it. Mia was a woman of few words, yet her actions said it all.

As Mia walked toward the counter, bringing with her the dirty cups of the customers, Seina said to her, "I am going to visit your home tonight, just wait. I have been saving candies for little Aiden."

Mia didn't answer, but Seina knew that it was a silent agreement that she didn't reject her. Seina was a bit happy.

Mia looked at Seina and sighed in her heart. This friend of hers was really a patient person. Seina was the only one who came close to understanding her all those years, she never abandoned her.

She knew that she was a somehwhat a bit of a cold person, but her personality was indeed a quiet one. She didn't really talk much.

Even that night... she only said a few words to that person before leaving. After all, their agreement had ended, and the money had already been paid. Naturally, she also fulfilled the end of the promise.

She had her necessity, but she also didn't want to be that greedy. Despite her cold heart, she could still somehwat feeling guilty. She kept on telling herself that it wasn't entirely her fault, yet she couldn't still erase that feeling completely.

In the end, she just left with a few words. They no longer had any ties to each other.

Though, Mia wasn't completely sure what that man would do once he found out about the existence of Aiden, basically their son. The fruit of their contract marriage. She surely didn't want to find out.

Mia just shook her head, then she erased the distracting thoughts and entirely focused on her work.

"Mia, long time no see." The same customer that had been visiting this caffe for a few weeks had come again, this time with a smile as he looked at Mia.

Mia gave him a polite nod, and prepared her pen and notes, waiting for him to state his order. The man just sighed at Mia's action and began to recite his order.

Jace looked at the woman in front of him, until she retreated far away. She rarely talked. Even he had to come and asked the same question everyday until he finally got her name. That didn't mean that she had liked him either.

She was rather a cold person, and he could tell that she liked peaceful life. Probably due to to annoyance, and that she should be kind to customer, she end up telling him her name. To shut him up.

Seina looked at the man with slight pity. In her eyes, Mia was still young and quite pretty and those male customers sometimes hit on her. Yet, she was still the same wooden block no matter how good looking the person was, completely unfazed.

"If they know about the existence of Aiden, they probably wouldn't accept him." That was the explanation given when Seina asked about Mia's opinion of those males.

Indeed, some of them may wouldn't be able to accept the existence of another man's child on their love life, however, some of them may also would. Seina didn't ask about them anymore.

Mia delivered the coffe that Jace ordered to his table, then she moved away. Gradually, her eyes was drawn to the falling snow outside. It was frozen, faintly, Mia could feel that there was similarity with her and the snow.

It was the coldness, and yet when they meet the sun, they would melt. After they melted, they would no longer be called the snow.

Would there will be a sun in her life?
