The Way I See You

TEMPORARY BOOK COVER / The Way I See You

While attending their batch reunion, a once high school heartthrob and now a skilled airline pilot, Ice, reunited with his high school close friend, Xander, after 40 years. While Ice was able to build a solid friendship with him during their junior years, Xander happened to have a deeper, different feeling that he thought Ice couldn't understand.

While everyone at the reunion is inside the hall, Xander chose to spend the rest of the night near the seawall. Ice approached him and took the chance to say his icebreaker line that neither of them ever forgot.

"Bakit lumilipad utak mo?" Ice asked him.

"Kasi... isa akong artist."

Xander couldn't help but to draw a smile towards Ice, whom he hadn't seen for over four decades. Ice finds comfort in Xander's response as if it was a sign that he is welcome to enter his life again.

"Ikaw, bakit lumilipad utak mo?" he asked Ice.

"Kasi... isa akong pilot."

When their eyes met even after 40 years, the way Ice looks at Xander remains the same.
