我無法相信這個來歷不明的男人。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNiaR6ECPr

媽媽介紹說阿亮是她二十五年前上契的兒子。當時十歲的他又乖又可愛，學業成績很不錯，奈何天生欠運氣，生於不良家庭……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xg6kwcPcp
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDh1X4mzp
我一邊聽著陳年舊事，一邊斜眼仔細打量這個所謂「義子」：個子高䠷，五官端正，衣著樸素，彬彬有禮，穩重敦厚。他行為舉止並無不妥，但我硬是沒能輕易放下戒心——二十五年不曾聯絡，誰保證他仍然又乖又可愛？327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWCzhgQiq
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckQaVH9oMi
媽媽每天與阿亮逛街、遊玩、看電影，買衫買錶買手提電話，花費全由她負責。她亦會主動替阿亮繳交雜費和屋租。有時候，媽媽被逗得大樂，甚至即興賞他千元。我火冒三丈——與阿亮重遇短短三個月，媽媽的銀行戶口已少了二十萬元！327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFmQhCdNPB
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOgSbW4H4J
媽媽屢勸不聽，我唯有跟那傢伙談判。我依著早前在媽媽手袋偷偷找到的水費單地址來到阿亮住所。那是位於近郊地區的一間三層高獨立屋，裝潢新簇，難怪租金高昂。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGUCIh6JGf
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4iqmFxY8g
步向大門，正要按下門鈴，忽聞一陣男女交歡淫穢之聲。我心不期然劇烈暴跳——腦海裡竟是媽媽與阿亮赤裸擁吻的畫面……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJGslnFnx
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZnlODlSP
不會吧！阿亮歲數與我差不多，年約三十五，媽媽年過六十……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcyDrC5fwZ

沒可能！沒可能！327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU2eb3G6GO

大門旁有一扇趟窗，窗玻璃經磨砂處理，不被看透。發現趟窗未閂，有一細隙。我只消鼓起勇氣踏前幾步，就能清楚看見兩條肉蟲在門後或纏或顫……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3IhBLH4pK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cUb3hnE5V
門後又傳來一陣浪叫，叫得我心驚肉跳，止步不前。我怕媽媽被騙財，更怕她被騙色。被騙財是笨，被騙色是對爸爸的背叛。若東窗事發，爸爸顏面何存？媽媽如何自處？我該講情或是講理？這個家能夠回復平靜嗎？327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdkT8mMIZZ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIuPBPzW7S
我怕，真的害怕，怕得轉身離開。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e06vqok3e
三日後，星期六，我放假。心情欠佳，宅在家裡看電視。爸爸與好友外出釣魚，媽媽參加了社區中心舉辦的「海鮮美食一日遊」，二人都說預計晚上九時許回家。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJizyDCK8q
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWRdsF7LTI
居所空蕩，爸媽各自各精彩，無所事事的我更為心煩。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1X2XVV4W
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuG9Tangbi
今天是否找阿亮談判的好時機？媽媽說參加活動是否謊話？她是否藉故離家一整天陪伴阿亮？她是否到那獨立屋去？那天被壓在胯下浪叫的女人是否……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPMEPTFORe

咔——嚓——大門手抽忽爾扭動。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHg4TgLVAT
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4gLtTqr4Q
懶閒的我猛然從梳化彈起，望向大門。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDBOOz38TK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquFNJkKLvx
是阿亮！327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQso030Rynn
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV1ExUuDtG
「你怎麼會有鎖匙？」我驚詫得抱緊咕𠱸。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sMHbAiU1
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjCbpI7as9
「你媽給我的。」阿亮脫下波鞋，純熟彎身在鞋櫃找到拖鞋，活像這單位的真正主人。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLij5vNxYze
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQuvvQ5hd6
「我不相信！」相比阿亮的泰然自若，慌張失措的我更似外來者。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIhoEws67
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6UFbAlCCk
「你該早知道你媽有多相信我。」阿亮常速步近，在我旁邊座位坐下。「那天，屋外，你在。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobnBdFBh1o
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFDx7tbdRM
我沒能立即反應過來——這傢伙到底是甚麼心態？完全無法理解他何以能夠如此輕易將羞恥事宣之於口！他態度是那麼的光明正大！那麼的理直氣壯！327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJu8GDkbVI
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wAkkzjbg
沒待我回話，阿亮逕自拿起遙控器轉換頻道，目光焦點全落在電視屏幕上。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR82fZjrhs
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kgTLjsX5X
我腦袋無法運轉，突感暈眩，唯有背靠梳化休息，盡量放鬆心情。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2rWMaPp7q
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RqY8q6BMU
整整十分鐘。他在我身邊看電視整整十分鐘。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4uyjKsLxU
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6VJojB35f
他忽然拿起遙控器關掉電視電源，伸一伸懶腰，離開梳化，走向主人房：爸媽的睡房。「別擔心。其實我是來取回一點小東西——之前不小心遺留在這裡。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo1t4ad9kA
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZSysco8Z
不知哪來的勇氣。我衝前拉住他，搧他一記耳光。整輩子的力氣和勇氣彷彿耗盡。我氣喘不已，心臟絞痛，腳軟無力。阿亮連忙攙扶我到梳化去，給我取來藥物和暖水。我沒有接過藥丸，猶豫望入他雙眼：這傢伙可信嗎？327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY9BD2BJw3
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBs9SsPjlL
「擔心我把藥物換掉嗎？」阿亮似乎明白我的想法，輕蔑一笑，順道在我失神之際強行把藥丸塞入我口，然後灌水。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIo4OGGO79
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCC8SSRhVs
我激烈掙扎，使勁推開他。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe8RHTSx2k
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j03DQgsCG
水杯脫手，著地，粉碎。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT892Xyun0J
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJ3UcOlhe
我的理智也跟著粉碎。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoei7XkrGH
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCeKQTyhJd
我再次撲前將他壓倒地上，揮拳相向。他先是吃了兩拳，後來在幾下格擋之間已然找到亂拳套路，再來一個突擊重拳就將我打翻在地。我天旋地轉，短時間無法撐身子，只得繼續癱軟地上。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJeUHJMdWE
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKdWBheju
他迅速走入主人房取東西，幾秒後出來，順道將藥瓶放到地面、我身邊。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6P9gCg3rP
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OZf6OnHvI
「要幫忙嗎？」踏出大門前，他回頭問。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGk12BQhB9
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ936FV5I8Zb
「你走！」我怒吼。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLE3pHCnBX
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFZ5Z8yTp
他沒回話，利落轉身離開。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx6aXXSOA0
我瑟縮被窩，激動不已。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH7TfBaHTB
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXpeT7Ro11
怎麼我這樣窩囊？怎麼我連一拳亦受不了？我是女人，卻非弱質纖纖惹人憐愛那類型。皮膚黝黑，體型高大，聲線低沉，講話中氣十足。若把長髮剪短，不認識我的人必會誤以為我是大漢。平日行為粗野，怎麼在關鍵時刻變得如此脆弱？我生自己的氣……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zSFvCamHf

咯——咯——敲門聲。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2W66NdlO6

「囡呀！」是爸爸。他不是晚上回家嗎？怎麼提早回來？「我買了你最喜歡的椰汁紫米露！快來吃！」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuaVHYn8KR
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA0RtxjXrJ
「不了。沒胃口。」我左頰瘀青，不敢被他看見，免他擔心。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlkqsYuwDV
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgTXTETxpr
「別生氣吧！是你揮拳在先，阿亮僅是自衛反……」爸爸向來好脾氣，但我真沒料到他得悉女兒被打時還是如此菩薩心腸。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivtxQXI3x
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDSJRflP6Q
「你知道事情全部真相嗎？別聽信人家片面之詞就妄下判斷！」我氣得揚被落床衝前開門大吼。反正爸爸已然知道我的狀況，我也不必強撐謊稱自己安好無恙。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8F3CF9VY
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gKdFBfdq
「阿亮沒需要隱瞞。」爸爸依然慘被蒙在鼓裡卻一副了然於胸的模樣，氣得我牙癢癢同時欲言又止——我實在不希望他感覺受傷。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd4YXld6qe
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFuViTHj3L
我強抑怒火，乖乖到飯廳吃糖水去。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrmA70TZjM
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7PEYUs3aW
飯廳寧靜得陌生。一枱之隔，七百毫米距離。我倆之間，盡是秘密與誤會。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JQ2GRbnrp
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVU1vRWzSI
我首次覺得秘密與誤會好東西，不明真相是幸福。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7TpzZKXV

「我之後會向阿亮道歉。」我說，心甘情願地。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM6UoacPWN
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvDkAK0EwL
爸爸先是一愣，然後找來遙控器略為調高電視聲量，舒緩緊張氣氛。劇集角色正在飯枱邊閒話家常，稱讚湯水美味，說長子完成學業打算回港就業，提及祖母近來身體欠佳……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwtiOc6nsU
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7uZog6tEM
「囡呀。」爸爸一口氣清掉碗中蕃薯糖水。眼神淡然，神情嚴肅，當中不協調令我倍感不安。「我不介意媽媽與阿亮的關係。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFFpc0ZPT
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaVy50PXYw
我拿著湯匙的手應聲凝在半空。幾粒位處匙沿的紫米連帶椰汁滑落碗中，與碗中母體融合如一，無分你我他。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRurdmKH0B
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHNznGOyED
「哈！」我蔑笑，笑自己多管閒事：「你不介意與別人共享妻子？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5o95sGvqu
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGCUvn4DO
「不愛了。她不愛我，我不愛她。所以不介意。」爸爸從膠袋拿出第二碗蕃薯糖水，低頭繼續吃。聽說爸爸媽媽以前都愛吃蕃薯糖水。不過後來媽媽口味變了，喜歡新式水果甜品，對蕃薯糖水不再感興趣。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQS0TMUH8V
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuTAb9dyLO
「『不愛』就離婚。未離婚就不該與別人發展關係。」我的笑容更深更冷。我不是真的想笑，奈何我必須竭盡全力去穩定情緒、保持理智，無法分神去處理表情。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzLsDN0rUw
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqPeJMzc5r
「我們是不會離婚的。」爸爸找不到牙籤剔牙，乾脆動用食指：「一把年紀，無謂生事。與其花時間辦離婚，倒不如釣魚或吃糖水，更快樂。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLmly0P89
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoOyoXVBj
「我不明白……」我不明白何以爸爸花了大半輩子在這個家庭、這個女人身上，如今竟可如此豁達面對背叛。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9yA6DXlt5
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9wMgFcguX
「因為你年紀尚輕。」爸爸似乎估計到我會說甚麼，搶先回答，順利終結話題。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG8egLxv3m
又一個假日，我再次去到阿亮住所門前。毫不猶豫按下門鈴。應門的阿亮呆住兩秒，回神後以手勢示意我內進。他從廚房拿來一罐汽水。我沒有接下，轉身坐在近門的一張扶手椅。他沒趣地將汽水放在茶几上。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03a1qXLyxV
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOKi93itNz
「來尋仇？」他調侃，右嘴角微微上揚，態度輕佻。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEKAoQ00yL
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWvVSxmAgH
「立即離開我媽！我會給你三十萬！」我開門見山。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkVVjYBXUk
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6UdTWb2QM
「不是我不願離開她，是她不願離開我！」他失聲大笑：「你勸她離開我就可以。當然——我是不會退回一分一毫的。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5SdwvNg4
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK1GY4wrIf
我上前摑他一記耳光。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkoaySeNIM
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8THKXuxx
他不把我的巴掌當作一回事，繼續笑：「你爸你媽比你聰明多了——他們從未對此事認真。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fPAyK5cRK
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPRzvxKDk
我滿腦子問號，沒有即時反駁。若說爸爸從未對此事認真，我明白。但他說媽媽同樣不曾認真，我不認同，甚至為他對我媽的否定感到氣憤：「她真金白銀花了二十多萬在你身上，怎會不曾認真？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZJvw2j1ZA
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hn0j1yzX
「即便我們沒有重遇，只消她在同樣時間點遇上另一個滿嘴甜言蜜語的男人，這二十多萬肯定同樣會被花掉。」阿亮拿起茶几上的汽水，拉環，喝，吐氣，一臉舒爽。「人生在世，每天辛勤工作賺錢，就是想要活得快樂。你媽想要快樂，湊巧遇上一個能令她快樂的人。一拍即合。她願意付款買快樂，對方願意收錢賣快樂。你情我願，簡單易明，不是嗎？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2vjrmkNp
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9wqeSSnz0
「這不是你情我願！這是欺騙！你在騙財騙情！」我對阿亮的歪理感到不耐煩，乾脆拿出支票簿寫銀碼。「三十萬，給你的！立即離開我媽！」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1WGPEz6u
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ENBZhe0k
他接下支票，單指輕彈。啪啪兩聲，輕、短、弱。苦笑：「這是你用多少青春換來的？」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe5DoTWEkJ
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0TODRova
聞言，我心不期然緊揪。我學歷不高，收入微薄，唯有靠節衣縮食積累財富。不為甚麼，只因認命——我這質素的女生該不會找到伴侶，晚年生活只得依靠自己……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQvX2NBvH
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2go3Psj1
「有興趣花在我身上嗎？」阿亮在我出神之際不著聲色繞到扶手椅後，雙手搭在我肩溫柔按摩起來。手溫暖和，手勢純熟，力度得宜。連夜加班的我肩頸劇痛得以舒緩。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct8EqpJxhA
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7Ui3aOow
我激動得無法動彈，因為我開始明白阿亮悉才的一番話。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj79gEQK1y
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3nt5tVBqy
阿亮適時彎身從後趨近我耳，以氣音細語：「你值得快樂。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIbTxoDkk2
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2prJFF6CUI
我失控掩臉痛哭。阿亮環臂擁抱我。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVO0mJtn0s
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJGOgHgIi9
我知道必須推開他！我命令自己推開他、掌摑他、搥打他……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ635Oztp6zv
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMgwKc1xPp
「乖！放鬆！」阿亮無視我的亂拳，溫柔為我拭淚：「別難過，你值得快樂。」327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknyxfihmpw
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7blKmjyuC
手腳忽爾酥軟，內心忽爾安寧。似乎找到安頓內心之處——不是阿亮這個人，而是這份溫柔細心與甜蜜呵哄。327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JKvVTUSFE
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35gGQlDocP
「乖……」阿亮的臉逐漸趨近。雙眸多麼明亮，皮膚多麼細滑，雙唇多麼柔軟，舌頭多麼靈巧……327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczPhWAbN3
