人生苦短——死
519Please respect copyright.PENANArsU3xNuR6C
519Please respect copyright.PENANAf1I1aZWUOF
電視仍然亮著,新聞報導員正在講述關於疫情的新聞和消息。內容千篇一律,悶人又煩人。519Please respect copyright.PENANAGuIivej7Mj
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVGE9fvCrnv
他打個呵欠,伸個懶腰。雙掌使勁按壓梳化,借力撐起整個人,避免膝頭過份受力。許是在凹陷的梳化坐得太長時間,大腿和臀部均感到少許麻痺。不至於會跌倒的程度,但他下意識地一邊倚扶著傢具,一邊拖著腳步走向浴室。519Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ3eta5UpI
519Please respect copyright.PENANAWTZhZpMXDe
人老了,身體差了,動作遲緩了,連小便如此簡單和基本的本能也變得困難。甭提總是瞄不準便器,尿液還要是逐滴逐滴慢慢滴出來,彷彿要滴乾他的尊嚴。519Please respect copyright.PENANADKD0wn4DgY
519Please respect copyright.PENANA201mfFQxIU
怎麼辦?可以怎麼辦?吹口哨吧。口吹曲子,耳邊響起熟悉的歌聲,心裡默唸自勵自欺的歌詞。519Please respect copyright.PENANAnRmHKWzYID

小便後,步出浴室,再次聽到報導員的沉悶腔調。519Please respect copyright.PENANAzRIFc9cUpk
519Please respect copyright.PENANAG4x80d6BgX
抵不住。519Please respect copyright.PENANAVv7dZO1ntG
519Please respect copyright.PENANAPU0JcYAUGe
他決定到公園散步。519Please respect copyright.PENANAbEywnueqpf
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGIOeUMvaiG
望望手錶,是上午十時半。難怪放眼所見多是上年紀的人。519Please respect copyright.PENANASP71e5J0dN
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaYgiuNRIo3
好福氣的,或是三五成群談天說地,或是在家傭的攙扶下散步。福薄的,或是推著購物車奔波買餸,或是顫巍巍地被送上療養院的巴士。519Please respect copyright.PENANAmwWh8DqGSW
519Please respect copyright.PENANA6m9rwMj6SI
自己有福氣嗎?托賴。能走能動能講能吃,與兒孫同住。雖偶有口角,卻也沒有特別煩心事。519Please respect copyright.PENANAI22F7yG4wl
519Please respect copyright.PENANAXS3xrzIESm
他知道自己該要感恩,奈何始終沒能衷心感謝上天。519Please respect copyright.PENANAw2SZ09A8pD
519Please respect copyright.PENANARdWnq4j8EP
輕嘆一聲。繼續走。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgvCaixcfig

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。519Please respect copyright.PENANAiSZKBNWtx0
519Please respect copyright.PENANAx8VeEScDtv
他不自已憶起亡妻……519Please respect copyright.PENANAJs8TTGHeTZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAk04hclm3ih
三年前的夏天,她在家跌倒,傷及腿部筋骨,自此總是步履不穩,走路時偶爾會突然腳軟跌倒。兒子勸她多休息,不要外出。她明白兒子苦心,奈何整天悶在家中令她心情抑鬱,精神越益差勁。519Please respect copyright.PENANAKVJTPt04qA
519Please respect copyright.PENANAo3zD8xG8sC
他偷偷帶她到公園散步散心。519Please respect copyright.PENANADXAbrRj2mA
519Please respect copyright.PENANAb4IDVjYxw6
「我的腿康復不了,是嗎?」519Please respect copyright.PENANAapnT8Ji1FV
519Please respect copyright.PENANAXQPJVoRcA6
「不是。你向來身體強健,這小小傷勢不是大問題。」519Please respect copyright.PENANA1lEVtMiuYt
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVuYIIbGxOy
「我何時可以痊癒?我想去探望朋友。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAWxxnzuIViV

「快了、快了。不用著急!」519Please respect copyright.PENANAl6nuFbwPS2

519Please respect copyright.PENANATKS7lnZEWX
「下一個夏天。」519Please respect copyright.PENANA76g78nWG9d
519Please respect copyright.PENANA7SF6JrnLQ9
她幽幽回望,驚訝丈夫斬釘截鐵交出一個確實答案——醫生也不敢斷言她會否康復。519Please respect copyright.PENANAnzhM8IsC5S

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。519Please respect copyright.PENANAkSPxWjwIRd

感動,明明眼前只有絕望。519Please respect copyright.PENANA8YIwUV4CcT

她的手忽爾不再無力,牢牢緊挽住丈夫的臂膀。519Please respect copyright.PENANAvFJh5RC1hh
519Please respect copyright.PENANAOfJzBqT4iu
奇蹟?希望?不。僅是信念,難以言喻的,難以理解的。他不是神、不是醫生、不是專業人士。他僅是一個脾氣古怪的躁狂糟老頭。但她就是相信他。519Please respect copyright.PENANAtPs8wUblsh
519Please respect copyright.PENANAqIZBAE40VH
內心終於安定下來。519Please respect copyright.PENANAFJzsxV11jq
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5zQlUfyGSQ
她沒再糾結於健康問題,開始向丈夫講述她的未來夏日大計:「探望朋友前,我要先辦一件十分要緊的事——吃『菠蘿油』!」519Please respect copyright.PENANA6wyI4Z5y9N
519Please respect copyright.PENANAsHgJQYlBgn
「但你的血糖……」519Please respect copyright.PENANA368aRJROb4

「我向來身體強健,這小小血糖問題不是大問題。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAijY0xrT9ol

他會心一笑,笑她依舊貪吃如豬。519Please respect copyright.PENANANwOccuzDtu
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFsS3dlBSeB
下一個夏天到來。她的腿傷還是沒能康復,走路時拐得更嚴重。519Please respect copyright.PENANAThZYhyIw2b
519Please respect copyright.PENANAQNg3VDQUlf
兒子送她一根拐杖。519Please respect copyright.PENANANpQ34OAvuX
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMb0lOL7i66
當晚,她躲在浴室裡啜泣。他沒有上前安慰,因為所有安慰說話都沒能扭轉衰老之勢,倒不如讓她盡情宣洩情緒。519Please respect copyright.PENANA67N9zUWanY
519Please respect copyright.PENANAuHMa5lECFM
她不知道,整個晚上,丈夫徹夜無眠,眼睜睜望著天花,細聽她的哭聲,細想她的未來。519Please respect copyright.PENANAXKfwGpiJ2s
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGOfVIlMITV
天亮,兒子和媳婦準時離家上班去。他送孫兒到學校後,馬上回家慫恿妻子一起外出逛街。「夏天嘛!當然要吃『菠蘿油』!」519Please respect copyright.PENANAVVIuD4sVSq
519Please respect copyright.PENANAf2LBWjuWt5
妻子笑了,連忙穿上最漂亮的衣褲鞋襪,戴上最喜歡的髮夾,塗上最鮮色的紅唇膏。她沒有使用兒子送她的拐杖,因為丈夫就是世上最好的拐杖——依著他、靠著他,她安然走到今時今日的七十高齡。519Please respect copyright.PENANAQqv5RYOsZV
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGdQEyy57Jj
鐵路車站裡,人流如鯽,彷彿有股無形的強力水流在背後催促著。他懶理,繼續保持慢調,只知自己不僅是自己。519Please respect copyright.PENANAAqJxHmh9i2
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5QcrfIIdRz
終於來到馳名的冰廳,二人各點一客「菠蘿油」。不好吃,亦不是回憶中的味道。519Please respect copyright.PENANAy3KMeEiZ47
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaF4aUkhUKX
不要緊,反正「菠蘿油」僅是一個名目而已。519Please respect copyright.PENANA26heHIMqwW
519Please respect copyright.PENANA3IXGlokSC7
夫婦相視而笑。笑甚麼,不知道,大概是完成了十分重要的事情吧。519Please respect copyright.PENANAY6VaO7z32Z

於願足矣。519Please respect copyright.PENANAnPFYEtKdVi

公園裡,樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。519Please respect copyright.PENANAWsMb7GyofF
519Please respect copyright.PENANAfthEnJq8i2
他不動聲息,藏起思念,繼續開步走。519Please respect copyright.PENANAoODCd4aTMf
519Please respect copyright.PENANAHazvx0fmIT
總得走下去,不是嗎?519Please respect copyright.PENANA8ML0I4adwf

不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。519Please respect copyright.PENANAhmsbSjZf9Y

走到涼亭,看見熟悉的棋友正在對弈。519Please respect copyright.PENANARCiTcLQxBE
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVqaVnIXnZ5
棋局中,事事分明,步步無情。519Please respect copyright.PENANA02hFegjiKU
519Please respect copyright.PENANANJG51MTNe8
他專注觀賽,全然忘記身後的樹影鳥蟲。
519Please respect copyright.PENANASBHUqbHWBt
人生苦短——病519Please respect copyright.PENANA7H1QEiFzsB
他在床上徐徐張眼。519Please respect copyright.PENANAqVPSzsxjtZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANA6juq5gFY26
床褥太軟,腰骨微痛。這不是家裡的床。519Please respect copyright.PENANAufrW3AS5XJ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAk09OaFgCqA
暈眩冉退,目光聚焦。看見多張整齊排列的病床和面無血色的老者,他瞬間得出以下結論——醫院。519Please respect copyright.PENANARjPQaq9XfS
519Please respect copyright.PENANA71kzeHU4p7
嗯。醫院。519Please respect copyright.PENANAmAKPIDiQhA
519Please respect copyright.PENANAp9ItzWVytU
接受醫生的檢查,證實無恙後,獲告知可以隨時出院。護士根據過往紀錄,已通知兒子和媳婦,只待他們前來接送。519Please respect copyright.PENANAfLgUhX2JGs
519Please respect copyright.PENANADhHgbSmE2B
醫生離開後,護士也去忙別的。519Please respect copyright.PENANAQGSjLF4w5M
519Please respect copyright.PENANAi7mk2ssh4b
他呆坐床上,默默看著醫護人員在多張病床之間來來回回,感覺實在又虛幻——活到這個年紀,總得要到醫院走幾趟,實屬平常不過的事情,對吧?519Please respect copyright.PENANAOgMg4J8JWa
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYEsk6MSu5K
如他所料,兒子在晚上八時許現身。一臉倦容。519Please respect copyright.PENANAMmZn9jKDwI
519Please respect copyright.PENANAEsiOcsMwb9
「醫生說我沒大礙。可能是公園太熱,熱昏了。」519Please respect copyright.PENANARrJToHQiYK
519Please respect copyright.PENANACnh3rbt6Jf
「那就多待在家裡避暑,不要外出四處走動。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAyLlJ1oBr3a
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxR1GiD2xj9
「知道。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAhqqnf5nAZb

兒子攙扶他走出醫院,在街邊截下的士,直驅住所。519Please respect copyright.PENANAbIxEKez4vO
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFvKZwWdcOx
車廂裡,二人不發一言,各自對著窗外景物發愣。519Please respect copyright.PENANAXii8t0GEUZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAXJuijyX5KK
沒有怨氣或鬱結,只有緩解不了的疲憊。身心俱疲。519Please respect copyright.PENANATvvpKMbti6
519Please respect copyright.PENANApgC6g9mq3V
黃色街燈在夜幕下迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。519Please respect copyright.PENANAxlkGK57DtG
519Please respect copyright.PENANAyIdkN2EDU2
兒子倏忽開口,神色惘然。519Please respect copyright.PENANA9cZ2bsn31z
519Please respect copyright.PENANAeMUwwKu1Qs
「我有末期肝癌,剩半年壽命。」519Please respect copyright.PENANA851EMgzFH5

「你如何在她不知情的情況下抽時間接受治療?」519Please respect copyright.PENANAjz8qzEFD9d
519Please respect copyright.PENANA055OPQmxyy
兒子笑而不語。519Please respect copyright.PENANAImoLURbjBu
519Please respect copyright.PENANAg0tL6przBV
他愣住片刻,良久才道:「明白。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAuf6Mq2cQwL
519Please respect copyright.PENANAUC1jlyQXnw
兒子輕拍他的肩膊,以示感謝。519Please respect copyright.PENANAkjBKwC5pwZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANAD0wfqSCHmp
抵家。兒子依舊朝妻兒溫柔地微笑。他沒作聲,逕自到浴室洗澡去。519Please respect copyright.PENANA37I75OqaB6
519Please respect copyright.PENANAdoE8VhIx8X
蒸氣瀰漫,看得見,抓不著。甚麼也抓不著。抓不著開始,也抓不著終結。519Please respect copyright.PENANAqcPsKE5ZFu
519Please respect copyright.PENANAElI1HL4LDq
沒選擇的情況下被生產下來,沒能選擇長大與否,沒選擇的情況下經歷病痛,沒選擇的情況下死去。生老病死,全是沒能選擇的。519Please respect copyright.PENANAWZwm3WUF0E
519Please respect copyright.PENANAydtRoeDjM8
翌日,兒子和媳婦如常上班,孫兒如常上學,家裡只餘他一人。百無聊賴。519Please respect copyright.PENANAMU1cLowbT9
519Please respect copyright.PENANAN8CMYCUzxG
他決定到公園走走。519Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9L19C4Ubp
519Please respect copyright.PENANATN7jBlmblA
樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。519Please respect copyright.PENANA2c2GOzTfUk

此樹是否去年那樹?此鳥是否去年那鳥?此蟲是否去年那蟲?要緊,不要緊。在意,沒能在意。519Please respect copyright.PENANAmgNvSs27Kw
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMbh3tL1Mmm
幽幽踏步,皆因內心焦躁。519Please respect copyright.PENANAjmBrkZQ1UX
519Please respect copyright.PENANAholMlXNCbF
來到涼亭,棋友們向他問好。他笑說自己比年輕人更健康。棋友們以為再也看不見他,感到難過。他認為無論難過與否,該死的時候總得要死。519Please respect copyright.PENANABWnsHLETzC
519Please respect copyright.PENANANMBLmCB3Pu
全場一片默然。519Please respect copyright.PENANAFPO1GWzfF6

有如那樹那鳥那蟲。沒能在意。519Please respect copyright.PENANAyCi3jPY4Vs
519Please respect copyright.PENANARBkg80EiHd
正午,他前去學校接送孫兒。孫兒說吃過同學送的怪味糖果後身體輕微不適。他不以為然。下午,孫兒痾嘔不止。聯絡不上兒子和媳婦,他只好獨個兒帶孫兒到醫院去。輪候期間,一張發白的熟悉臉孔癱軟在擔架床上,被匆匆推送入急症室深處。519Please respect copyright.PENANAlw5upJJ6s1
519Please respect copyright.PENANAJ24q2DXbfW
那是今早與他談笑風生的其中一位棋友。519Please respect copyright.PENANAU986El5BLx
519Please respect copyright.PENANAjHQBSRkmYS
數個身穿便服的男女先後抵達護士站,然後按指示守在急症室外。沒多久,醫生步出急症室,宣告棋友的死訊。男男女女隨即哭作一團。519Please respect copyright.PENANAYtB7GVs0kX
519Please respect copyright.PENANAkpUoLH324Z
他默默將孫兒擁入懷裡。519Please respect copyright.PENANAhs3gZ21pqv
519Please respect copyright.PENANAl6hBYvtPYg
心慌的極致原來是平靜和淡然,皆因透徹體悟到自身的無能無力無奈。519Please respect copyright.PENANABnnocSqRKz
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8cTHIsPCuT
「爺爺,很熱啊!」不知袖裡的孫兒輕輕推開他。519Please respect copyright.PENANA9MtIA9kEqv
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwXFWkRohvq
「嗯。」對於眼前一切,他花盡全身力氣發出渺小的一聲。519Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ai9qcaC23
519Please respect copyright.PENANAdm4JAcDtV9
晚餐後,兒子在露台抽菸,媳婦在廚房洗碗。孫兒是個好動的孩子,五分鐘前肚痾得雙腿發軟,此刻已然在梳化上跳個不停。519Please respect copyright.PENANAC4IDJaU8YS
519Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ02m97AkH
跳跳跳,有節奏地跳個不停,像心臟。519Please respect copyright.PENANAmgGk7xP92G
519Please respect copyright.PENANABwrjpisIeN
心臟停止跳動當刻,棋友有何感受?掛念未完的棋局?掛念急症室外的男女親友?519Please respect copyright.PENANAgR78wlrPnB
519Please respect copyright.PENANAI52zC0mmnH
他的目光不期然落瞄向露台,看著兒子呼出個個煙圈,圈圈復圈圈,冉升消散不復見。519Please respect copyright.PENANAtJn0vToemf
519Please respect copyright.PENANAUxVePZnxOG
不復見。519Please respect copyright.PENANAz0VE0bfBGq
519Please respect copyright.PENANAL6LUtk7RRU
他莫名的被深深憾動。519Please respect copyright.PENANAaCBLSwFuJK
519Please respect copyright.PENANAh42NR9czLO
走到兒子身邊,告知棋友的死訊。519Please respect copyright.PENANAD9Ldpvc9av
519Please respect copyright.PENANAAxdCaBh4pB
毋須明言,兒子已猜測到他的用意。519Please respect copyright.PENANA0I3PNfTyC9
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcPoXFWPGTO
「我不怕死。」519Please respect copyright.PENANA6eYJy6MDD3
519Please respect copyright.PENANAEPOVG2yRrc

519Please respect copyright.PENANAnEyMWA69Cf
「她的叮囑?」519Please respect copyright.PENANALoNl0iXO5U
519Please respect copyright.PENANAdGtvROLSIo
「不。她離開得太突然,我沒機會問她,只得按照她生前喜好去估計她的心思。」519Please respect copyright.PENANADLRJ3qAsUK
519Please respect copyright.PENANALosVnG23lI
「別傻!她不願看見你耿耿於懷!」519Please respect copyright.PENANAosGkmUgM7c
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8me4XuGfEr
「她沒這麼說。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAooFDAf62kd
519Please respect copyright.PENANAvior5OvIBG
兒子苦笑,笑他彆扭。519Please respect copyright.PENANA5leyWcBcte
519Please respect copyright.PENANAsUNKXi73PH
再次不了了之?他以為是,直至夜半聞得媳婦哭聲不絕。519Please respect copyright.PENANAx5i7UozANN
519Please respect copyright.PENANAZvEA9fd4MR
無論大家怎樣勸說,兒子依然不願接受治療,堅持要盡量留下金錢予家人。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgskF9Cjjt2
519Please respect copyright.PENANAl1Bzo3QXep
半年後,兒子沒死去。一年後,兒子仍活著。三年半後,兒子依然沒斷氣。519Please respect copyright.PENANATVaozM48js
519Please respect copyright.PENANAgsto6zVw8J
問何解。醫生說原因不明,但癌細胞消失了。兒子說只想盡力工作賺錢養活家人。519Please respect copyright.PENANAyHkwSIglhU
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5aexEWyaSE
離開醫院、歸家路上,兒子和他拐到公園散步去。519Please respect copyright.PENANAcRPBpV80w1

519Please respect copyright.PENANAy15orLpk2h
兒子認為這次大病是上天的提醒,希望他往後好好珍惜時間。打算辭職休養一段日子,在接下來的暑假與大家出國旅遊後,才重回職場繼續拼搏。519Please respect copyright.PENANAxmChWvSJRq
519Please respect copyright.PENANAiNumRU88PX
他為兒子衷心高興著,亦感謝上蒼的好生之德,沒有帶走……519Please respect copyright.PENANABrFCKZbIk6
519Please respect copyright.PENANA4fSAj05Smj
兒子呢?519Please respect copyright.PENANAHqa1oVQNUw
519Please respect copyright.PENANA0UifCDMr8U
悉才尚在身邊的兒子不見蹤影。519Please respect copyright.PENANArrxsqIoy9i
519Please respect copyright.PENANAT5IR5EStsX
啊!記起來了。519Please respect copyright.PENANANgjEOxNgdc
519Please respect copyright.PENANAkiQOYXwfVe
兒子去年在暑假前遇上意外,下半身癱瘓。沒能出國旅遊,沒能重回職場,沒能享受期待已久的夏日。519Please respect copyright.PENANAFOYZ6eXyHn
519Please respect copyright.PENANAiEj7zpb4KF
果然。519Please respect copyright.PENANAufZXGTVVMr

不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。519Please respect copyright.PENANAyoMU9hzHbd

婆娑樹影之下、鳥叫蟲鳴之中,他繼續走。519Please respect copyright.PENANAoLrsZJiebm
519Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyB5glclD
幽幽踏步慢慢走。
519Please respect copyright.PENANAjo0ipIKjbn
死病老生——老519Please respect copyright.PENANApT3XidIDzf

他在搖搖椅上猛然醒來。519Please respect copyright.PENANAPFjFFhSHhs
519Please respect copyright.PENANAdsx2kFgNAR
望望掛鐘,七時半。該要喚醒孫兒。519Please respect copyright.PENANAFlwR6tdrho
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYzUFa0cs3e
輕敲孫兒房門,不聞回應。推門內進,不見孫兒身影。房內枱櫃床鋪依舊,掛牆照片卻變了樣——相中人稚嫩不再,五官英氣。他頓時意會到孫兒早已不再是黏人的小孩子,不需要他的照顧。519Please respect copyright.PENANAxWJAQJJ3xs

若有所失。519Please respect copyright.PENANAWDTP4wxRUS

憶起跟妻子慢步於蟲鳴之中,憶起與兒子傻傻追尋鳥叫源頭,憶起和孫兒偷偷在樹身刻字。519Please respect copyright.PENANA8r4XVKJsmQ
519Please respect copyright.PENANA5FR7RQPdLZ
離開緩步徑,闖入樹林。519Please respect copyright.PENANATUgKMWGvYZ
519Please respect copyright.PENANARypeC2u3Ri
找樹。找到那樹。519Please respect copyright.PENANAVbCbyTYav9
519Please respect copyright.PENANA6uV01mhGjC
不,不是它——因著樹身變得粗壯,刻記模糊難辨。519Please respect copyright.PENANASgImOg154o
519Please respect copyright.PENANAtHrtw274m3
此樹不是當年那樹,正如現時的自己亦不是當年的自己。519Please respect copyright.PENANAWtdsXLpXSg
519Please respect copyright.PENANAABf8FZBkvX
長大、老去、病倒、死亡,無論願意不願意。519Please respect copyright.PENANAvtmkLZpEnn
519Please respect copyright.PENANAujTfFIwdD9
不願意。519Please respect copyright.PENANAjvXwf1GWKX
519Please respect copyright.PENANAnzkKY6Cisd
想逃。519Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ipKfo9nR
519Please respect copyright.PENANArYrub0ojxh
逃!519Please respect copyright.PENANAREH4hUVs0H
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGXrKIIgaWC
逃出樹林。519Please respect copyright.PENANA50P97VJhhf
519Please respect copyright.PENANABkMGSVurCh
彷如隔世。519Please respect copyright.PENANAhqz80Jg8wI
519Please respect copyright.PENANArfAmc3bluF
陽光刺眼,氣溫熬人。不是回憶裡的現實。519Please respect copyright.PENANAtBn8WSmdv8

519Please respect copyright.PENANAwlnDcu0BYg
「嗯……」519Please respect copyright.PENANA6r3jFqu2Zi
519Please respect copyright.PENANAd3SS352FQv
家。他在搖搖椅上搖著、搖著,天花燈在眼前晃著、晃著,孫兒在廚房裡頭忙著、忙著。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgdZc8XkcOW
519Please respect copyright.PENANAaBQBtHKeOi
一切近在眼前,卻又無比遙遠。反觀那些遠在天邊的,竟顯得如此接近。519Please respect copyright.PENANABNe4sIREGO
519Please respect copyright.PENANAnrTD8kUByt
是否忘記了甚麼?519Please respect copyright.PENANAa3NnIBBAGU
519Please respect copyright.PENANAbf1bB53p6E
目光無意間落在緊閉的主人房房門上——何解兒子沒有一起吃午餐?519Please respect copyright.PENANAbyTbz7moaB
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcZqIC2BD7t
輕敲主人房房門,不聞回應。欲推門內進,卻發現房門上鎖——自己被兒子嫌棄了嗎?519Please respect copyright.PENANAeUWjvne9uF
519Please respect copyright.PENANAMxczWyWTst
激動。拍拍拍,踢踢踢,吵吵吵。519Please respect copyright.PENANAhHck3qhhN2
519Please respect copyright.PENANA20sjDyD3Bn
「快開門!我要跟你聊天!快開門!來!快開門!」519Please respect copyright.PENANAOwoimVjLSC
519Please respect copyright.PENANAvLiuSK0HZn
孫兒應聲衝出廚房,上前阻止他吵鬧。拍門的手轉而搥打孫兒。孫兒逆來順受,硬生生吃痛。519Please respect copyright.PENANAbSR8h56yOO
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFfRRl3NcdO

「爺爺,你看看掛鐘——爸爸尚未下班,還在公司。」519Please respect copyright.PENANAnS76OxFfSd
519Please respect copyright.PENANANnvuy7XahZ
未下班?在公司?他瞄向掛鐘——的確未到兒子下班時間。可是總覺得有甚麼不對勁……519Please respect copyright.PENANANGvbm8MhfC
519Please respect copyright.PENANA1jM4mucupf
見他愣住,孫兒馬上抓緊時機分散他的注意力:「爺爺,不如一起到公園散步。」519Please respect copyright.PENANADzIJyy5o4A
519Please respect copyright.PENANAg6lDRreupm
公園裡,美好回憶俯拾皆是。519Please respect copyright.PENANAuYtHzM0rHq
519Please respect copyright.PENANALdzFDJAR9F
他享受沿路的樹影鳥蟲,孫兒只著眼於面前的佝僂身影——希望他忘記剛才的亂局吧,那就不用向他解釋家庭現況……519Please respect copyright.PENANAjtOIohBBuA
519Please respect copyright.PENANApbSEslfxxr
爸爸癱瘓後,媽媽獨力扛起家庭重擔。數年以來,乳臭未乾的孩子、癱瘓的丈夫、腦部日漸退化的家翁以及工作壓力狠狠將她壓垮。她捱不下去,離家出走。爸爸難以接受愛妻的絕情,一直鬱鬱寡歡。519Please respect copyright.PENANAAhyxTDSQKo
519Please respect copyright.PENANAZIGBnDJMBZ
某個深夜,忽聞爺爺自言自語。起床查探,驚見爺爺對著垂頭不動的爸爸侃侃而談。窗戶半掩,冷風吹得爸爸頭髮凌亂,臉色慘白。滿房遍地都是涼透的菸屁股。淡淡的菸味在鼻腔彌留不散,卻偏偏嗅不出半絲生命的氣息……519Please respect copyright.PENANAYEaCK73m6z
519Please respect copyright.PENANAD90rJPYsLh
他輕拍孫兒肩膀。519Please respect copyright.PENANAAuXqU1SkGk

憶起關於兒子的一切,憶起關於自己的一切。519Please respect copyright.PENANAzlyrF68TIi

絕不能重覆亡妻與兒子的錯誤,留下一堆永遠沒解的執著予孫兒。519Please respect copyright.PENANA2PkF3OTzMM

他淡然一笑,笑孫兒長高長肉不長大。519Please respect copyright.PENANAalkK1qulQA
519Please respect copyright.PENANAtEmktdJV7X
孫兒傻了眼——他是真瘋或是假傻?519Please respect copyright.PENANAnjV9lwvJxq
519Please respect copyright.PENANAtacAwT3LOy
沒待孫兒辨清真假,他已然幽幽踏步開步走。519Please respect copyright.PENANA53xWcRpb5o
519Please respect copyright.PENANAocvx2qTRwq
孫兒沒有追上。知道自己該要追上,但雙腳偏偏誠實地佇立原地——多麼希望爺爺可以從此消失。519Please respect copyright.PENANAh7jNmYqKwL
519Please respect copyright.PENANAImwEQJkM7d
佝僂身影幽幽遠去,沒入婆娑樹影當中不復見。519Please respect copyright.PENANAQKw9spafjU

沒有在意的人,沒有在意自己的人,無論願意不願意。519Please respect copyright.PENANAl5qUQMUhDn

幽幽踏步慢慢走。慢慢記起很多,慢慢忘記很多。519Please respect copyright.PENANAX95EdSGgch

孫兒停步,從背囊掏出保溫水壺,欠身將插於壺嘴的飲管置於他雙唇之間。519Please respect copyright.PENANAUpCg2HQ6Vy
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxYTrH6bnKQ
他沒有吸吮。519Please respect copyright.PENANAbxVThpLHLp
519Please respect copyright.PENANA61IEqDBpNC
孫兒保持這姿勢好一會,惟見他沒反應,也只好收起水壺。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgPdJ8xYh98
519Please respect copyright.PENANAIut5qEX7je
罷。519Please respect copyright.PENANAxZTBtRFNim

樹影婆娑,鳥叫蟲鳴。519Please respect copyright.PENANAraxCPEyDrV

他覺得這地方很眼熟,卻又苦苦想不起更多關於這地方的回應。519Please respect copyright.PENANA1g3npl4M0D
519Please respect copyright.PENANAda3OYNnCCB
不要緊。519Please respect copyright.PENANAFxzs6LUdeg

反正該是不重要的事情——自己寶刀未老,才未糊塗得忘記重要事情。519Please respect copyright.PENANASXO9EYCeFB
519Please respect copyright.PENANABe6XD6Jc71
他仍是那個身體健康的他,每天為養活妻兒勞碌奔波。妻子貪吃,尤愛「菠蘿油」,於是他偶爾會帶她到冰廳享用下午茶。兒子是個單純正直的小孩,深信「一分耕耘,一分收穫」,於是他一直暗暗為兒子籌謀、護航……他很自豪,自覺是個好丈夫、好爸爸。519Please respect copyright.PENANAuHdw8uoa1C
519Please respect copyright.PENANA4r34dugyNY

那抹難以察覺的微笑僅維持了三秒。519Please respect copyright.PENANAlhCB6i4d2x
519Please respect copyright.PENANAp4cOEwubMq
三秒後,他忘記了前三秒的快樂,正如他忘記了大半生的重要人事物。519Please respect copyright.PENANAp6V0rxZm0C

要緊的,不再要緊。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgnMmaXV0bi

輪椅一直前進,映入眼簾的紛亂光影不斷交替、退去、消失。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgEINhXtimL

「爺爺,放心。我會努力繼續走。」519Please respect copyright.PENANA1qtRJZg52g
519Please respect copyright.PENANAAYRST7qIht
孫兒抿抿雙唇,藏起憂思,推著輪椅開步走。519Please respect copyright.PENANAgjdSpcgDh7
519Please respect copyright.PENANAZH1HVRrkHQ
總得走下去,不是嗎?不努力走下去,就不會知道下一個夏天是甚麼光景。519Please respect copyright.PENANAvG2ZR1tXa0
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVo9AfD6Y55
這是從他身上學懂的。519Please respect copyright.PENANA4xywVgKgjV

一生受用。519Please respect copyright.PENANAbvP66knhxn

孫兒的話猶如耳邊風,進不了他的耳,到不了他的心。519Please respect copyright.PENANAfkeogazeuq

要緊的,其實不要緊。519Please respect copyright.PENANAlW11xuZyaE
519Please respect copyright.PENANAirER1OYEXp

他被送上安老院專車。519Please respect copyright.PENANAUDKEOmQnb8

車窗外,無光街燈迅速往後退。一盞、兩盞、三盞……不盡,無窮。519Please respect copyright.PENANA36lMjOUhFi

腦海裡,無數樹影鳥蟲交替、退去、消失。519Please respect copyright.PENANA3A8UhiAPg7

要緊的,不再要緊。519Please respect copyright.PENANAZAMqE9Wn8G

他忘記前塵,沒有執著。519Please respect copyright.PENANArD5e3imsb7
