興奮的怡茹用蹦跳的方式回家,她的家是個逾四十年的紅磚灰瓦老房子,三合院冬暖夏涼充滿了古樸之意。回到娘家大約黃昏時分,橘色鋪滿大地,隨著日照沒入地平線下,取而代之的是星夜與懸在天上的月娘,霎那間水藍色琉璃月光灑落人間,舉目一片矇矓水藍如同仙境。怡茹開燈坐在客廳等待某些人或某些事的發生,至於是哪些人哪些事她毫無頭緒,時間滴答流逝,沒有事發生也沒有人出現,她雖然覺得奇怪依然不以為意的坐著等待,不經意看著牆壁上的日曆,今天正巧是自己的生日,怡茹猜想家人或許準備了要令她驚喜的生日蛋糕也說不一定,於是她躡手躡腳到了廚房打開冰箱,哇!果然有一個生日蛋糕還是自己愛吃的巧克力口味,她小心翼翼捧著蛋糕到客廳解開紙盒在蛋糕上插上阿拉伯數字18的蠟燭後回到原位繼續等待,就在她等待時蠟燭的數字在眼前跳動,從18一路跳到60,怡茹大吃一驚再抬眼竟然發現牆壁上掛著父親、母親、大哥、大姊和與自己最親的小哥的黑白照片,像想到什麼怡茹奔到鏡子前發現鏡中的自己滿頭銀髮老態龍鍾,感到孤零的她鬱鬱坐回蛋糕前哭著點燃了蠟燭,自己為自己唱起生日快樂歌,祝我生日快樂,祝我生日快樂……怡茹嗚嗚咽咽唱著;還沒唱完怡茹從夢境中醒來,此時窗外月色爬進屋內映照出她滿臉皺紋又布滿淚痕的臉龐。
