8 月 23 日,雨。225Please respect copyright.PENANA5M6isAAiHj
225Please respect copyright.PENANAkh9gf2Dsdv
灰濛濛的天際,如像一抹陰霾。漫天雨水,洗刷這一地污濁。水滴滴答滴答的打落簷篷,再滴落地面。一道漣漪散開,接著再有一道漣漪,連綿不斷。一雙黃色的雨鞋把漣漪踏散,小孩拿著透明雨傘,在水漥上愉快地踏步。雨下得不小,但無阻小孩快樂地遊玩。他高興地於小水漥中起舞,並拉起在旁等車母親的手,指指自己的舞步。225Please respect copyright.PENANAOd2DMr4DWX
225Please respect copyright.PENANAQ91EVKPC7Z
孩子的母親笑了笑,彎身擦去小孩額上的雨水。小孩回了母親一道燦笑,聽著母親的話。雨一直下,落在母親的雨傘上淅瀝作響,並無阻小孩繼續和母親交談。兩母子依然旁若無人地說著話,在巴士駛到站前,根本不打算停止。225Please respect copyright.PENANACofJICMVyk
225Please respect copyright.PENANAY6zOKUZF4R
「要上車吧?」小孩天真無邪的說著。眼利的母親瞄到巴士車頭的一張通告後,她嘆息,再牽著小孩上車。225Please respect copyright.PENANAPUekRL4WL0
225Please respect copyright.PENANAAOpxgFGLx2
「過了今天,我們觀塘人要直接到上水找公公,也變成難事了…」225Please respect copyright.PENANAA82bgbc1iS
225Please respect copyright.PENANAJPrwf4i9aE
母親喃喃自語地登車,將八達通送到感應器前付款後,她和小孩一同上了上層。225Please respect copyright.PENANADHyXJCRNbG

「的確是呢…妳說對不對啊?阿慧。」225Please respect copyright.PENANArg2SVKsdo2
225Please respect copyright.PENANAk61dyff4dg
靠著前門位置的男人自言自語,他轉向坐在身邊的女人,牽起她的手。女人側身,撫摸男人後腦。車廂的涼氣,吹在車窗上,起了一層水氣。雨越下越大,巴士一直遠去,在雨水下成為迷霧消失不見。如同通告一樣,再也不見蹤影。225Please respect copyright.PENANAYtR3oUaDbC

225Please respect copyright.PENANATEvCzWJ6QC
撐著傘的手收緊,她在站長室前,看著一架又一架經過翠屏巴士總站的巴士。白色、金色,在她眼前帶雨走過。目光沒有落在那些巴士上,她像尋找著甚麼,希冀從路上找到她要找的東西。225Please respect copyright.PENANA2MoB7q5ieb
225Please respect copyright.PENANAcSbGJOvkae
天雨下個不停,就像她的內心。眼鏡下的神色緊張,卻帶著無奈。耳邊雨水淅瀝,和另一邊耳朵響起的音樂少有地合襯。雨下迷霧,像帶著未來的虛無,和「她」一同離去。她稍稍放鬆五指,卻在一架白色的巴士經過時再度篡緊。225Please respect copyright.PENANAjnEArordiD
225Please respect copyright.PENANAeUlpqcde4h
她用接近丟的把雨傘放在站長室前,拿起掛在頸上的相機,咔嚓咔嚓的拍起照來。身旁的巴士迷們,也跟著這道節奏拍照。車在雨中慢慢走過巴士總站,再在後方迴旋處回頭,駛入巴士總站。從遠到近,乘著雨, 8354 緩緩駛入巴士站。她放下相機,再次拿起傘,迎向泊在坑裡的 8354 。225Please respect copyright.PENANARz2O4ghwdL
225Please respect copyright.PENANAE5NsbUw6FR
「是小遙啊。」車上男人打開前門,微微一笑。225Please respect copyright.PENANAPtZdmq9Wnq
225Please respect copyright.PENANAXQXe69e7p2
「阿雲,要下班了啊。」小遙嘆氣,苦笑起來。她看著收拾行裝的阿雲,不住自言自語,「天下無不散之筵席。」225Please respect copyright.PENANAINc6qdjafB
225Please respect copyright.PENANAATrtry3URW
神經大條的阿雲沒理會小遙說過甚麼,收拾好後,在後門下車的他跟前方的小遙揮手,「再見啦,有緣再會。」225Please respect copyright.PENANApV8F58qF5T
225Please respect copyright.PENANApmgZLLJaoF
「不用等阿信嗎?」小遙追問,但阿雲搖搖頭,轉身離去。225Please respect copyright.PENANAv0G9OQZuTM
225Please respect copyright.PENANAYd1x5c5p4w
「要再見總有機會的,又不是去死。」225Please respect copyright.PENANALtg4yrnH3v
225Please respect copyright.PENANAAtybGqtMfE
阿雲撐起傘,單肩背著背包,向對面馬路走去。雨下得不小,落在 8354 身上的水滴濺向小遙的眼鏡,鏡片起了一顆水印。她後退,在站長室門外看著以外套遮臉睡覺的阿信。她目視翹手休息的阿信,不發一語。225Please respect copyright.PENANAF1VCOkRCvl
225Please respect copyright.PENANAjtXY0HMjs5
幾分鐘後,阿信撥開外套,伸了個懶腰坐起。他看看窗外信泊的 8354 ,還有一堆圍著 8354 拍照的巴士迷,輕輕嘆息,「真想不到這麼快就 8 月 23 日。」225Please respect copyright.PENANAoob7xUPgpJ
225Please respect copyright.PENANAtUpy9mIbGP
「是啊。」225Please respect copyright.PENANAyWb6mzFkgZ
225Please respect copyright.PENANAPyM6FoNJP4
看著默默地停在巴士車坑的 8354 ,小遙的感嘆不比阿信短。由月媚消失,直到此刻,他們眼前的 8354 ,依然像未發現月媚一樣,只是一架普通的富豪奧林比安巴士。她比阿信更早走到 8354 的後門,再紀錄性地拍下有著 70x 膠牌的照片。225Please respect copyright.PENANAgw0sygmXmY
225Please respect copyright.PENANAPfkgmiXh9A
一旁的巴士迷也燥動起來,面對還顯示「觀塘翠屏道」五字的目的地,他們更想要「上水」二字。小遙見狀,再走回站長室前。225Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdvCU937K
225Please respect copyright.PENANAA0DyfpZLSn
「喂,你好歹也先轉牌嘛。」拿起相機,小遙嘟噥。225Please respect copyright.PENANAex8V6eoCVK
225Please respect copyright.PENANAkLU0cX56dP
「好吧。」225Please respect copyright.PENANA4pcG1utXTw
225Please respect copyright.PENANAkth84EdjIA
阿信站起,提起背包,再跟前方一直望著電腦的明哥說再見,「你也下班了啊,明哥。」225Please respect copyright.PENANApatTXaWxxx
225Please respect copyright.PENANAluScyevmxN
「是啊,做完就可以走。」明哥眼神停留在屏幕上,再點了幾下滑鼠,「明天我就去藍田地鐵站上班,你做 277x 時,就見到我啦。」225Please respect copyright.PENANA0yUWSFj2Ju
225Please respect copyright.PENANANfYMVtLQpC
「也對,不會不見。」咧嘴一笑,阿信踏出站長室,跟明哥揮手分別。225Please respect copyright.PENANANcaazbjAHQ
225Please respect copyright.PENANAuDTrVaIFO7
天上的雨放緩,只剩下偶而落下的一滴。阿信抬頭望天,陰霾滿佈的天空,正知今天的氣氛相配。他習慣性地從口袋拿出手機,看看通知,又把手機關掉。避過路上水窪,阿信走到 8354 旁邊。225Please respect copyright.PENANAwf1B1hHJzr
225Please respect copyright.PENANAx1V063aRcZ
8354 沒說話,就像她原本的模樣,一部不應該有怪事發生的巴士。225Please respect copyright.PENANAMU3eYhVNe0
225Please respect copyright.PENANApyFv6N6DXN
他慢慢地在 8354 旁走了個圈,檢查車身同時,再仔細多看 8354 一眼。車身的歲月痕跡,完全表達 8354 15 年的車齡。他伸出手,再按開後門。平靜的空氣帶著浮動的微塵,在濕潤的空間飄盪。225Please respect copyright.PENANAfpJ89qDlxl
225Please respect copyright.PENANA64hnl65A6s
「月媚啊,妳今天可要成為傳說啊。」阿信走到車頭,握住搞動膠牌的棍子。冰涼的觸感,跟第一天握上 8354 這架車的扶手同樣。225Please respect copyright.PENANAv8baFlp5p1
225Please respect copyright.PENANAMpeldhZoHC
上水。225Please respect copyright.PENANA2fhwJj1mqt
225Please respect copyright.PENANA5wPFaD9GKQ
帶著膠牌機特有的搞動聲,如願地,「觀塘翠屏道」的下一個目的地,是「上水」。外面的巴士迷興奮地舉機拍攝,而小遙,卻好奇地看著站在車頭愣住不動的阿信。225Please respect copyright.PENANAMPtCy1F9LO
225Please respect copyright.PENANApYFFvGcOdY
「怎麼了?」在後門探頭上來,小遙追問僵住不動的阿信。225Please respect copyright.PENANAKEQMbGWMTq
225Please respect copyright.PENANAH3LOUx61kW
阿信看著自己握著搞動棍的手,他沉默了好幾秒,然後緩緩地吐出說話。225Please respect copyright.PENANAtDSq8xeL7r
225Please respect copyright.PENANAjy9HQRKWpZ
「剛剛,我沒動過膠牌。我只是握著棍,但沒動。」225Please respect copyright.PENANAfKuptxnS5w
225Please respect copyright.PENANAHZhchilUGH
小遙一怔,但秒間她理解這是發生何事。225Please respect copyright.PENANAylVzw0UuPh
225Please respect copyright.PENANAOnraEk64FR
「…阿信,放心好了,這一定是傳說。」走上車,小遙輕吻阿信額角,「我們的『朋友』都在努力啊。」225Please respect copyright.PENANAlFm5ir0BVQ
225Please respect copyright.PENANAe6uguxX15A
阿信回首,望向無人的車尾。是這樣吧,月媚。225Please respect copyright.PENANAJStBOS8j9T
225Please respect copyright.PENANAJFka7slg2R
放好背包,把倒後鏡調好,阿信坐上駕駛座。225Please respect copyright.PENANAsMlKIXnvhD
