一個陽光燦爛的冬晨,小朋友的嬉戲聲迴盪在孤兒院裡。690Please respect copyright.PENANARqaaGp4cpd
「小隱——妳洗好手了嗎?」院長朝洗手槽的方向喊著。690Please respect copyright.PENANAatsQou3Dui
小隱將水龍頭關起來後跑向院長,「好了!」690Please respect copyright.PENANA3c1Pg1z3Xk
「好,」院長慈愛的摸摸她的頭,「快去坐下吃早餐吧。」690Please respect copyright.PENANApKsfwujilC
小隱露出笑容。「我好餓啊!」690Please respect copyright.PENANAE83HHyzs7C
看著她跑走的院長,不禁勾起一抹溺愛的笑。690Please respect copyright.PENANA9uZyQOUdio
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?」690Please respect copyright.PENANADurmEfNKYp
「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。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAIQowFCYhIl
「那她父親呢?」690Please respect copyright.PENANA2xGhZlwL54
「她好像是由母親一手帶大的。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAUGrLonnrth
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Cn5YwWF4
院長露出苦笑,「只希望那不是她在逞強。」690Please respect copyright.PENANADOHfgGjBJ4
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⋯⋯」690Please respect copyright.PENANAn2J2ZI6T9v
「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。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAf8ulYhfbEy
「能有這樣的胸襟的您真是偉大呢。」義工感嘆道。690Please respect copyright.PENANAqKx3yC9Thm
「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?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAqQuWDmdFlU
「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。」690Please respect copyright.PENANANkYEJUIIoI
***690Please respect copyright.PENANA4DfNUrgEyG
「我可以出去玩嗎?」小隱興奮的跑去問院長。690Please respect copyright.PENANApKZQUVv2lS
「不可以玩的太瘋喔。」院長提醒她:「妳才剛吃完早飯呢。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAFJbMueXgWE
690Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ1MYc0lSU
690Please respect copyright.PENANAtZAKTDKQiH
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⋯⋯?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAFCVWoJ0liz
鈴鈴。690Please respect copyright.PENANA2PueHb95DR
一陣風吹起,清脆的聲響隨著風傳至小隱耳裡。690Please respect copyright.PENANA2YmEaKIdVO
有如被一條隱形的線牽著一般,她跑到了孤兒院的大門前。 690Please respect copyright.PENANA1vZ5wOdDQ9
鈴鈴。690Please respect copyright.PENANAelXQzmBg2A
掛在別人家的風鈴輕輕晃著。690Please respect copyright.PENANAyD4mCBXCmY
「媽媽,快走吧!」一個小男孩拉著媽媽走出家門。690Please respect copyright.PENANA0oDcPsvJxe
「好好。」那位媽媽把大門關上。鈴鈴。「別跑啊,會跌倒。」690Please respect copyright.PENANANc6Qp6Cwsi
小隱不發一語的站在那裡,看著母子漸漸遠去。690Please respect copyright.PENANACkpVlJcYOZ
而在她的腦中,浮現了一個正在笑的臉龐。690Please respect copyright.PENANA9CP2xOqIbU
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAumhTbNtY6i
「喂——!院長她叫大家回去了喔——」這時,她聽到有人喊著。690Please respect copyright.PENANAU67xaTiUfm
她將思緒截斷。690Please respect copyright.PENANAcGdLWjF7CA
轉身。690Please respect copyright.PENANARr3yZdEf47
背對那母子的身影,與腦中的殘像。690Please respect copyright.PENANAMFkwsrzaQZ
跑走。690Please respect copyright.PENANAqIKeMSaNH9
***690Please respect copyright.PENANAtvpVzBXONC
「小隱,來換藥了。」院長坐在小隱的床上,將她叫過去。690Please respect copyright.PENANA3d8Fz34nvd
「⋯⋯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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAgjlm5x4Rvk
「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。690Please respect copyright.PENANA8TbBEQEOof
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。 690Please respect copyright.PENANAE9S1KZukJg
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ8kZGGZy9
「——好了。」院長將最後一瓶藥收回箱子裡,「小心別讓繃帶脫落了。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAhtUNZz6Zb5
「謝謝。」小隱小心翼翼的躺了下來,叫住準備離去的院長,「⋯⋯院長。」690Please respect copyright.PENANA7oJkUH63RK
「嗯?」後者停下腳步。690Please respect copyright.PENANAc7dpKOSlX7
「可以⋯⋯對我說聲晚安嗎?」她問:「就像⋯⋯之前的⋯⋯媽媽一樣。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAlwMQyNOP6N
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAmHCnbHG5Ey
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAvFZGnMuf96
「晚安囉,小隱。」她摸摸她的頭說。690Please respect copyright.PENANAXB6q2CUCoA
「嗯,院長晚安。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAb6LbWnRqIU
小隱翻了個身,默默想著:感覺,還是不一樣。690Please respect copyright.PENANAEF22XQzfNt
690Please respect copyright.PENANA1d3kV9H3UA
690Please respect copyright.PENANAXQiaNXcFam
在黑夜中,隔壁床的孩子似乎在暗暗哭泣著。690Please respect copyright.PENANAPuTyptkO6U
還醒著的小隱聽到了,便用氣音問,「你在哭嗎?」690Please respect copyright.PENANA92Xpj5aZZ6
「⋯⋯我才沒哭。」那個孩子用帶著鼻音的聲音說。690Please respect copyright.PENANAFwlWvcxvTG
過了一會兒,那個孩子開口。690Please respect copyright.PENANASZZ4nSX8F9
「我問妳⋯⋯妳會想念妳的爸爸媽媽嗎?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAGbJrvVRBBz
小隱沈默一下,才回答:「我想念我媽媽。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAUsV7xxtymd
周圍很安靜,幾乎只能聽見這個孩子的聲音。690Please respect copyright.PENANAzXfs0Pj91C
「別難過。」小隱試著安慰他。690Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Kqc2zayL
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAgCbobe3sX2
是啊,她也想念。690Please respect copyright.PENANASEsKtpPxLq
想念那個已經死去了很久、很久的媽媽。690Please respect copyright.PENANA7hKr86vRLM
她輕輕閉上眼,無聲重複著。690Please respect copyright.PENANAL4QJ3poLdE
很久。690Please respect copyright.PENANAj5kYQqBoG5
***690Please respect copyright.PENANA8OJ8TEOtNh
自從看到那對母子後,她每天早上都會跑到門邊看。690Please respect copyright.PENANAmdYudapKDB
690Please respect copyright.PENANAGSYZyzBmsD
對面的門打開,熟悉的鈴聲響起。690Please respect copyright.PENANARyQVxZojyR
「別再拖拖拉拉的了,快一點!」母親集氣敗壞的唸道。690Please respect copyright.PENANA4lkJhCqmzh
「等一下——」小男孩穿鞋的速度依然緩慢。690Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIX3sgA1R
「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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAcW981Axhi1
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!」690Please respect copyright.PENANA52NTokRLFT
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?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAhXGAINVJ3o
小男孩點點頭,拉緊她的衣服,「妳不可以丟下我喔。」690Please respect copyright.PENANACLcSmrrGep
「不會不會,」母親牽起他的手,「我會一直在你身邊,好嗎?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAPm6XSoPoKB
聽到這句話,小隱像觸電一樣顫了一下。690Please respect copyright.PENANAEbmIvnOs4Y
690Please respect copyright.PENANAyUBmw5qaag
690Please respect copyright.PENANAosZrytYkqz
——「媽媽,我們家沒有爸爸對不對?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAYZMXs7vbC4
——「是啊。不過沒關係,媽媽只要有妳就夠了。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAn6KYX43lkc
——「真的?」690Please respect copyright.PENANATxbhgj2mGz
——「當然是真的!而且不用擔心,我會一直在妳身邊的。」690Please respect copyright.PENANA9zhbY3FAfF
690Please respect copyright.PENANARbEsn21kAD
690Please respect copyright.PENANAvGvMVVfSuu
我會一直在妳身邊。690Please respect copyright.PENANAoHy5zBF90W
690Please respect copyright.PENANAMcWWnEH9pC
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAMn3rq1UT6I
***690Please respect copyright.PENANADYtmHeBAdy
這個晚上,她做了個惡夢。690Please respect copyright.PENANA5pS9aHdtHN
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAyr0sZ8BplV
路途中,突然「碰」的一聲。690Please respect copyright.PENANATJXImRvzAq
震耳欲聾的聲響震著她的耳膜。690Please respect copyright.PENANANolKG8bwMf
撞擊聲,以及彷彿來自遠處的尖叫聲。690Please respect copyright.PENANA0HEjgKlD6e
不一會兒,一切靜止了下來。690Please respect copyright.PENANAqO22UYslpE
媽媽在哪裡?發生什麼事了?好痛⋯⋯690Please respect copyright.PENANAhJzXJBhuS6
焦急的她奮力撐開眼皮。690Please respect copyright.PENANAaQB3gvHCXH
當她看到眼前的景象時,她征住了。690Please respect copyright.PENANAflyrlXGAPQ
一雙充滿血絲的空洞雙眼正在瞪著她。690Please respect copyright.PENANAT57n9VSdkK
690Please respect copyright.PENANAFupKpz5LFY
690Please respect copyright.PENANAHAZdU3U9Jq
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANA8C2JWveVdn
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAm2rzfv3ACR
690Please respect copyright.PENANAnntl5q0fg1
690Please respect copyright.PENANAXWEtJdGk7u
——以前,她的媽媽是個很開朗的人。690Please respect copyright.PENANAdRZiXsptbg
「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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAztr9kji9JJ
「遊樂園?」690Please respect copyright.PENANAqww86TppDh
「是啊,有好多好玩的東西喔!」媽媽掩飾不住興奮的笑容。690Please respect copyright.PENANAqCZSWzXr6z
「好啊!」小隱也開心的說。690Please respect copyright.PENANAQPtd8aGXxY
690Please respect copyright.PENANAaLhBljvxtn
690Please respect copyright.PENANAO9yFRAWjpD
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAaXMRhvo1DN
690Please respect copyright.PENANAb2aECeQIRO
690Please respect copyright.PENANAM3H1Sxs0nW
「媽媽。」小隱搖著緊閉眼睛、皺著眉頭的媽媽,「媽媽!」690Please respect copyright.PENANAGNW682U83h
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——」690Please respect copyright.PENANAyBiw1MSJaP
「小隱,我在想事情!」媽媽突然受不了大吼。690Please respect copyright.PENANAPWwhn0WKMx
看著生氣怒吼的媽媽,小隱喃喃吐出幾個字,「⋯⋯對不起。」690Please respect copyright.PENANAbjUr0m2LpS
——690Please respect copyright.PENANASkNmJt2SJb
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAAOmlkfFO4s
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAkn8gaMutca
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANAy0bD49XIk8
睡吧。睡吧。690Please respect copyright.PENANAlszJ0GiBDX
漸漸,雪地變得不再那麼刺骨,甚至暖和了起來。690Please respect copyright.PENANAy8N5NwOED2
或許,這份溫暖也只是幻覺而已,如同那個耳語。690Please respect copyright.PENANADvSNg57qDr
她止不住顫抖的低聲說,「我⋯⋯」690Please respect copyright.PENANAI6nD1ntO30
想念妳。從很久以前開始。690Please respect copyright.PENANA5G4bMbkGps
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。690Please respect copyright.PENANABqR7ZvBEB1
睡吧。690Please respect copyright.PENANAs9ibQZRHJ8
690Please respect copyright.PENANAunqahp0QZs
690Please respect copyright.PENANAwu5RWnrDlN
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——690Please respect copyright.PENANAOI6Gy6xKxg
那是個有著溫柔微笑的女性。690Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Nr7jTNo3
