祈祈抵家時，適逢母親剛剛預備好晚餐。她立即更衣梳洗，然後幫忙端菜到餐枱。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddkqhvnPnw

自從童黨一事曝光後，母親大受打擊，情緒異常暴躁。非單氣走僱用多年的家傭姐姐，還需到精神科看診，長期服藥。作為過來人，祈祈深切明白那是何樣的一種感受。她心軟下來，答應父親，好好修補母女之間的關係。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZqEWESFW7

席間，三人有講有笑，好不融洽。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWy7iT3aQC
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGpoP2qmcG
母親久違的笑容令「好」與「壞」的界線變得含混不清。這笑容是用藥物換來的，孰好孰壞？為了保留這笑容而對問題的根源視而不見，孰好孰壞？這種虛假的融洽家庭關係，孰好孰壞？祈祈越來越不知道該如何抉擇。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nuE1Btupa

她驀地想起阿藍和阿藍媽舊日的僵持關係：如果自己勇敢一點，堅持表達不滿，大概會落得和阿藍差不多的下場吧。禍福相倚，阿藍受襲失憶，忘記與阿藍媽的不咬弦，無意間給予母女二人一個和好的上佳機會。阿藍媽識趣地改變心態，加上楠少從旁指導，阿藍的家庭問題得以完美解決。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1D28nufVR

飯後，祈祈洗碗時，發現廚房亂糟糟的。難怪，畢竟母親是個職業女性，少有接觸家頭細務，平日依賴家傭姐姐處理一切。現在，因祈祈的緣故，她辭去高薪厚職，當個全職家庭主婦。聽父親說，母親做家務時雞手鴨腳的，時而不小心捽破水晶飾物，時而誤將容易變形的衣物放到洗衣機裡一併清洗，時而將鹽和糖混淆……496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFXjDvPF0D

能夠作出如此重大的改變，除了因為愛，還可以是甚麼？連倔強的母親亦願意退讓，自己還要自私到何年何月？難道要母親整輩子不停遷就自己嗎？祈祈暗罵自己的不孝與不懂事。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YyhT14mmQ

「我們不會再阻撓你和光仔發展，但希望你可以到外地升學。托展國際視野，豐富人生經驗，肯定對日後找工作有正面影響。」父親出奇不意地將話題由「光仔」轉移至「升學」之上。「我的舊同事有三名兒女，全都在外地升學，對這方面頗有心得。他……」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ga78j6lFM

「我們將會舉家移民嗎？」祈祈詫異。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsv9tWwmEZ
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPGaiteam2
「不。只是想你在外地升學而已。這跟移民有必然關係嗎？」父親不解。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUmu6UqiA7

「既然最後是要回來，何不一開始就不離開？外出見識過就一定是好事？世態瞬息萬變，我留在這裡緊貼本地潮流豈不更好？有沒有前途並非只建基於學歷，還有個人能力和……」祈祈一口氣拋出大堆道理。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatRgpPF3uK
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJhooQKyCG
「你知道自己在講甚麼嗎？我明白你想留在這裡，卻總不能晦氣地押上前途！的確，前途並非只建基於學歷，但外出見見世面總比坐井觀天好。你沒理由會不明白！」父親面對強詞奪理的祈祈，耐性頓失。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv47qYxbTE
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhThwZt8xmh
「我明白，但我就是不想！我不要去到一個全然陌生的地方，睡在一張全然陌生的床。每天對著聊不來的陌生人，吃不對胃口的食物……」突如其來的恐懼挑起了祈祈的敏感神經，一幕幕半真半假的畫面在她腦海中不斷縈迴。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdjOngqjL

她被排斥、被孤立、被欺凌。在那所小房子裡，童黨把她壓在地上，扒光她的衣服。身邊沒有光仔，沒有楠少，沒有志恆，沒有阿藍，沒有馨儀……496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslIdOKFT8C
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17YHwtMNjz
「別孩子氣！不知多少人想到外地留學卻苦無機會！」父親氣得面紅耳赤，沒留意到祈祈的不對勁。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZzbcw7ZSW
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQhNluCRET
「那就讓別人去吧！」祈祈越講越激動，將壓抑已久的心底話全都拋出來。「人家想要，不代表我想要！你們想要，不代表我想要！」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWSpTJSuK

「我們想你活得好而已……」父親被祈祈嚇了一大跳，連忙放軟聲線。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurlHQIP4oc

「你們認為我現在活得好嗎？」祈祈怒火燒心，轉身回睡房，更將自己反鎖房內，懶理父母在門外苦口規勸。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKc6gavNVM

兩老的聲音很煩人，祈祈隨手擸來書架上的玻璃獎盃飛擲房門上。獎盃應聲碎裂，兩老立即噤若寒蟬，不敢亂作聲，直到門後傳來祈祈的哽咽：「我需要時間冷靜一會兒。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCfWfpZnar

聽見祈祈的情緒平伏下來後，光仔才敢鬆一口氣，借口家人喚他做家務，匆匆掛線。離開鋪滿參考書的書枱，軟癱床上，呆望天花。久久沒能入睡，思緒在愛情和未來之間來回跳躍，時而甜蜜，時而痛苦。他細思過往的一切一切，越想越心灰。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwOok4fRhy
