Draw!

Perhaps I am too rude asking without a greeting. And my question seems childish. Sorry for the bad english.

Win Lose or Draw?

White only plays Bd5 and Bc6. In this case, White has only 5 seconds left with no increment on the clock.
Question is, can White lose the game in any case? Or White can approach the arbiter and claim a draw?

Comments are welcome.
