一個陽光燦爛的冬晨,小朋友的嬉戲聲迴盪在孤兒院裡。711Please respect copyright.PENANAJEwOa17n3c
「小隱——妳洗好手了嗎?」院長朝洗手槽的方向喊著。711Please respect copyright.PENANAecsJbCiCAW
小隱將水龍頭關起來後跑向院長,「好了!」711Please respect copyright.PENANAVH3tjY7FHU
「好,」院長慈愛的摸摸她的頭,「快去坐下吃早餐吧。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAiIpNKa6SWs
小隱露出笑容。「我好餓啊!」711Please respect copyright.PENANAMEY7wUhSs0
看著她跑走的院長,不禁勾起一抹溺愛的笑。711Please respect copyright.PENANAnrwXgXLwBd
旁邊經過的義工看到了正在笑的院長。他隨著院長的視線望去,看到小隱跑走的背影。「我記得她是幾個月前來這的吧?」711Please respect copyright.PENANArEN3FTdmqP
「是啊,她的母親因為車禍而去世,但她沒有其他適合撫養她的人,所以就送到我們這了。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAbbZXmFsmgx
「那她父親呢?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAU7TZ3OjkIn
「她好像是由母親一手帶大的。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAoLxEBLkyPI
義工看著坐在餐桌上、正和別的院童打打鬧鬧的小隱,「她真是堅強啊,許多孩子剛來時個性都比較封閉呢。」這位已在這家孤兒院服務許久的義工回憶道。711Please respect copyright.PENANANkMVfeT1Kh
院長露出苦笑,「只希望那不是她在逞強。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAQpfKASUv9c
義工擦拭著櫃子,「有時真覺得,世事無常啊。年紀那麼小就被迫與家人永別⋯⋯」711Please respect copyright.PENANAXnmIXrmdGS
「不過,我們的工作不就是那麼一回事嗎?」院長說,「就由我們來擔當那些孩子的父母親、來給予他們失去的溫暖。」711Please respect copyright.PENANABUOYDmIMhg
「能有這樣的胸襟的您真是偉大呢。」義工感嘆道。711Please respect copyright.PENANAKaxsQYRQlW
「這還真說不上是偉大呢,」院長哀傷的說,「比較像是⋯⋯心疼吧。你不也在這很久了嗎?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAKiYMStMhlf
「也是。」義工看著窗戶上因朝陽而漸漸融化的冰霜,「又是一個寒冷的冬天呢。」711Please respect copyright.PENANA5ff49FEqJn
***711Please respect copyright.PENANAszSmd1T7FB
「我可以出去玩嗎?」小隱興奮的跑去問院長。711Please respect copyright.PENANAEnDVLClIZA
「不可以玩的太瘋喔。」院長提醒她:「妳才剛吃完早飯呢。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAOHlyWN0SeD
711Please respect copyright.PENANADGbrQYv104
711Please respect copyright.PENANAUR2EoRhbuZ
當小隱來到庭院時,她聽到了一個聲音。側著頭,她豎耳傾聽。「嗯⋯⋯?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAWfPEtotXFS
鈴鈴。711Please respect copyright.PENANAyD9Dhzw8eL
一陣風吹起,清脆的聲響隨著風傳至小隱耳裡。711Please respect copyright.PENANArWu7DIqbQY
有如被一條隱形的線牽著一般,她跑到了孤兒院的大門前。 711Please respect copyright.PENANAkkhfj6tO9d
鈴鈴。711Please respect copyright.PENANAF7hoBBdKsy
掛在別人家的風鈴輕輕晃著。711Please respect copyright.PENANAXFNDKbwHHh
「媽媽,快走吧!」一個小男孩拉著媽媽走出家門。711Please respect copyright.PENANA8XJEaNgDMJ
「好好。」那位媽媽把大門關上。鈴鈴。「別跑啊,會跌倒。」711Please respect copyright.PENANA164rRgHoMc
小隱不發一語的站在那裡,看著母子漸漸遠去。711Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2C7Dl1ZLO
而在她的腦中,浮現了一個正在笑的臉龐。711Please respect copyright.PENANAo4tZW0Slgw
她准許自己再多讓它停留久些,然而,那個面孔馬上因爲怒氣而扭曲。711Please respect copyright.PENANAzvs3vzjldU
「喂——!院長她叫大家回去了喔——」這時,她聽到有人喊著。711Please respect copyright.PENANA1gNbpypdkr
她將思緒截斷。711Please respect copyright.PENANAfFee0NdJ9i
轉身。711Please respect copyright.PENANAhD49EnY6Pi
背對那母子的身影,與腦中的殘像。711Please respect copyright.PENANAD03hzlUPXj
跑走。711Please respect copyright.PENANAo1tcnjElxI
***711Please respect copyright.PENANAnKMDWUMr6n
「小隱,來換藥了。」院長坐在小隱的床上,將她叫過去。711Please respect copyright.PENANAuVldXFxqUj
「⋯⋯我不喜歡擦藥⋯⋯」雖然嘴上嘟嚷著,但她還是乖乖坐到院長面前,將手臂伸了出來。711Please respect copyright.PENANAV99gi2Ylmf
「但是不擦藥不會好,妳現在忍一忍,好了之後就不會痛了啊。」看著她身上大大小小的擦傷,院長忍不住嘆了口氣。711Please respect copyright.PENANAWNkOIIDhiG
在那起車禍意外裡,她的媽媽因為失血過多當場喪命,而不幸中的大幸是,當時也在車上的她幸運的躲過了死神拂過去的手掌。 711Please respect copyright.PENANA74IQfoh7tE
出醫院時,大部分嚴重的內傷都已經痊癒,只剩下一些皮肉傷至今仍然還沒好。而每天的例行公事便是在起床和睡前換藥。711Please respect copyright.PENANA3FbdyN9M0J
「——好了。」院長將最後一瓶藥收回箱子裡,「小心別讓繃帶脫落了。」711Please respect copyright.PENANA3tgLd7HV9v
「謝謝。」小隱小心翼翼的躺了下來,叫住準備離去的院長,「⋯⋯院長。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAe2ly1ZgKe4
「嗯?」後者停下腳步。711Please respect copyright.PENANAkDl6FevqDL
「可以⋯⋯對我說聲晚安嗎?」她問:「就像⋯⋯之前的⋯⋯媽媽一樣。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAtEJoFXmD5A
她不免對於這個要求感到有些驚訝。小隱來到這裡已經有段時間了,然而聽到她提出這樣的要求還是第一次。711Please respect copyright.PENANAQhye7liz2J
儘管表面上看起來沒事,但心裡還是會感到寂寞啊。她這麼想著。711Please respect copyright.PENANAPcx4uaQD5w
「晚安囉,小隱。」她摸摸她的頭說。711Please respect copyright.PENANAiOnu5MM9Vm
「嗯,院長晚安。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAnjHpK7NCEk
小隱翻了個身,默默想著:感覺,還是不一樣。711Please respect copyright.PENANAgQwdhSXNRQ
711Please respect copyright.PENANAp2w0ipsBzR
711Please respect copyright.PENANAUkJQUT5YwJ
在黑夜中,隔壁床的孩子似乎在暗暗哭泣著。711Please respect copyright.PENANASYkjCPKo21
還醒著的小隱聽到了,便用氣音問,「你在哭嗎?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAhPNQWIqP2e
「⋯⋯我才沒哭。」那個孩子用帶著鼻音的聲音說。711Please respect copyright.PENANA9orxQJM7Xp
過了一會兒,那個孩子開口。711Please respect copyright.PENANAfeULWjRD9R
「我問妳⋯⋯妳會想念妳的爸爸媽媽嗎?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAdJHOpUZ7hy
小隱沈默一下,才回答:「我想念我媽媽。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAnt9sfpRlAn
周圍很安靜,幾乎只能聽見這個孩子的聲音。711Please respect copyright.PENANAcOijVAduq7
「別難過。」小隱試著安慰他。711Please respect copyright.PENANAxsqErSjB0w
不知不覺間,孩子的哭聲被寂靜吞噬,取而代之的是微微的鼾聲。711Please respect copyright.PENANAzPYBcmCL1r
是啊,她也想念。711Please respect copyright.PENANA2DCNEmcjQf
想念那個已經死去了很久、很久的媽媽。711Please respect copyright.PENANANynQ1MLMzX
她輕輕閉上眼,無聲重複著。711Please respect copyright.PENANArE91kSHm9P
很久。711Please respect copyright.PENANACDvxWDKg9c
***711Please respect copyright.PENANAlJIBXdq9wQ
自從看到那對母子後,她每天早上都會跑到門邊看。711Please respect copyright.PENANAsfj5nD2E6b
711Please respect copyright.PENANABFnYqsJA67
對面的門打開,熟悉的鈴聲響起。711Please respect copyright.PENANAdS2cYcExnj
「別再拖拖拉拉的了,快一點!」母親集氣敗壞的唸道。711Please respect copyright.PENANAfWMkbRk1yH
「等一下——」小男孩穿鞋的速度依然緩慢。711Please respect copyright.PENANAu8URDpzad3
「我要自己先走了喔,不等你了。」母親故意這麼說,往前走了幾步。711Please respect copyright.PENANAhp1CwKBiaX
小男孩聽了不禁著急起來,手忙腳亂的趕上母親。「等一下啦,不要走!」711Please respect copyright.PENANAMCMmdzkPjh
母親忍不住笑了出來,「傻孩子,怎麼可能不等你呢?但是下次要加快速度,懂嗎?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAjDy5OP6Q9U
小男孩點點頭,拉緊她的衣服,「妳不可以丟下我喔。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAOhv1BSPqXB
「不會不會,」母親牽起他的手,「我會一直在你身邊,好嗎?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAYs52oxLg4t
聽到這句話,小隱像觸電一樣顫了一下。711Please respect copyright.PENANAf6a661E135
711Please respect copyright.PENANA2d9K1JipG0
711Please respect copyright.PENANAMcAHdNUifu
——「媽媽,我們家沒有爸爸對不對?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAs0lhbeUUcf
——「是啊。不過沒關係,媽媽只要有妳就夠了。」711Please respect copyright.PENANA1H54EpnTX7
——「真的?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAplYp24FeaK
——「當然是真的!而且不用擔心,我會一直在妳身邊的。」711Please respect copyright.PENANAoBIXSfEhP5
711Please respect copyright.PENANAf776OZfdBu
711Please respect copyright.PENANAfRhx7ANOhG
我會一直在妳身邊。711Please respect copyright.PENANAsSA7zMqwvi
711Please respect copyright.PENANAneImXfwD9X
回過神的小隱望了望四周,此時的母子已經離去。而四周,仍是白皚暟的一片,一個人影也沒有。711Please respect copyright.PENANAFcxAQZ7CDC
***711Please respect copyright.PENANAJKDXvxbbxV
這個晚上,她做了個惡夢。711Please respect copyright.PENANAl98iUCnl7J
夢裡,她和媽媽要一起去買東西。本來媽媽想留她在家,但因為她一直吵著要跟,媽媽便只好帶著她開車前往賣場。711Please respect copyright.PENANAAvRmAdL3V4
路途中,突然「碰」的一聲。711Please respect copyright.PENANAlms11btg1b
震耳欲聾的聲響震著她的耳膜。711Please respect copyright.PENANA2hCZHJbKR5
撞擊聲,以及彷彿來自遠處的尖叫聲。711Please respect copyright.PENANAoeWOxMOuod
不一會兒,一切靜止了下來。711Please respect copyright.PENANAgZr2y48Wjh
媽媽在哪裡?發生什麼事了?好痛⋯⋯711Please respect copyright.PENANAWbpPR5i3X0
焦急的她奮力撐開眼皮。711Please respect copyright.PENANADBK6VyVoas
當她看到眼前的景象時,她征住了。711Please respect copyright.PENANA6ycGai5Ber
一雙充滿血絲的空洞雙眼正在瞪著她。711Please respect copyright.PENANApVFBzlJRVN
711Please respect copyright.PENANAuiOOMOu1Zf
711Please respect copyright.PENANAP5v42HRmLz
她再此睜開眼,呼吸雜亂的坐起身。除了她以外,每個人都熟睡著。711Please respect copyright.PENANA5HqVuXysbi
她悄悄下床,穿起外套,躡手躡腳的跑了出去。踏著腳下的積雪,一步步走到庭院中。她撿了根樹枝,循著記憶,在地上畫了起來。711Please respect copyright.PENANAFCe78yvLvt
711Please respect copyright.PENANAYOsRJLLqAq
711Please respect copyright.PENANAHkejozuFhP
——以前,她的媽媽是個很開朗的人。711Please respect copyright.PENANA1g2WqxMBUh
「嘿,小隱,我們今天去遊樂園玩好不好?」有一次,媽媽突發奇想的說。711Please respect copyright.PENANAk5pQZNPT8T
「遊樂園?」711Please respect copyright.PENANAGHHEWwgph7
「是啊,有好多好玩的東西喔!」媽媽掩飾不住興奮的笑容。711Please respect copyright.PENANAXdqKQg63XR
「好啊!」小隱也開心的說。711Please respect copyright.PENANAjpz60RWYt9
711Please respect copyright.PENANAMRFAsR9u9N
711Please respect copyright.PENANAF7FIpc6rO4
然而,自從家裡的經濟開始每況愈下,媽媽的情緒也漸漸緊繃了起來,不再露出笑容。而媽媽也因為加班而無法陪著她入眠,每天都很晚才回家。711Please respect copyright.PENANA3TRrA02zaK
711Please respect copyright.PENANAKutWoqqZd3
711Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GsXRYthB
「媽媽。」小隱搖著緊閉眼睛、皺著眉頭的媽媽,「媽媽!」711Please respect copyright.PENANATu13YhW7pU
見她還是沒有回應,小隱加大音量,「媽——媽!我們今天要不要去遊——」711Please respect copyright.PENANA3NMxsBxerG
「小隱,我在想事情!」媽媽突然受不了大吼。711Please respect copyright.PENANAJvd3EkOKvg
看著生氣怒吼的媽媽,小隱喃喃吐出幾個字,「⋯⋯對不起。」711Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ghc4xsfx4
——711Please respect copyright.PENANAnwNpOGJQmx
她呼出的氣息在空氣中凝結成霧氣,她添上了最後一筆。一個正在微笑的嘴巴。711Please respect copyright.PENANALtUIV33dqG
她看著地上的那幅畫,緩緩走到中央,躺了下來,蜷曲著身子,把自己縮成一團。冰冷的雪刺痛著她的臉頰。711Please respect copyright.PENANAtHXqMTp8m3
天空開始緩緩降下細雪,她似乎聽到了一個熟悉的聲音在她耳邊低語。711Please respect copyright.PENANA8ok27xLFjJ
睡吧。睡吧。711Please respect copyright.PENANAMQFIMSFy6Y
漸漸,雪地變得不再那麼刺骨,甚至暖和了起來。711Please respect copyright.PENANAwt2tZPACeS
或許,這份溫暖也只是幻覺而已,如同那個耳語。711Please respect copyright.PENANAslojNMgFJm
她止不住顫抖的低聲說,「我⋯⋯」711Please respect copyright.PENANA9XLmotedEk
想念妳。從很久以前開始。711Please respect copyright.PENANAlfSkaliRWU
隨著雪漸漸變大,她的氣息逐漸冰冷,臉上凝結著一粒粒豆大的淚珠。711Please respect copyright.PENANAY5jzBfJEok
睡吧。711Please respect copyright.PENANAG06l1NOrzf
711Please respect copyright.PENANAJTnABF72XG
711Please respect copyright.PENANAWzS788fGTJ
降下的大雪,覆蓋住了她小小的身軀,以及圍繞在她周圍的畫——711Please respect copyright.PENANAPg8oTN4mov
那是個有著溫柔微笑的女性。711Please respect copyright.PENANAtHnxSen3sp
