一個陽光燦爛的冬晨,小朋友的嬉戲聲迴盪在孤兒院裡。689Please respect copyright.PENANAVaBDAGMx6P
「小隱——妳洗好手了嗎?」院長朝洗手槽的方向喊著。689Please respect copyright.PENANAXxKtEacrsO
小隱將水龍頭關起來後跑向院長,「好了!」689Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Xq0F8nqL
「好,」院長慈愛的摸摸她的頭,「快去坐下吃早餐吧。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAJZBNMnvyzP
小隱露出笑容。「我好餓啊!」689Please respect copyright.PENANAJGLmdxjIY2
看著她跑走的院長,不禁勾起一抹溺愛的笑。689Please respect copyright.PENANApW270rQ3NM
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?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAhOM5jSejIg
「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。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA3ALTl0okwo
「那她父親呢?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAki2Ip3qanW
「她好像是由母親一手帶大的。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAjQBiZP7w2B
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAOZlJOwgztl
院長露出苦笑,「只希望那不是她在逞強。」689Please respect copyright.PENANATMpXf5wDGo
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⋯⋯」689Please respect copyright.PENANAKwBHKm7jwv
「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。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAZFVXoj7ZSX
「能有這樣的胸襟的您真是偉大呢。」義工感嘆道。689Please respect copyright.PENANABCFh9DPRYf
「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?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAUNdWsITodW
「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。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAIvMwaaFgBx
***689Please respect copyright.PENANABeRHNZ43GS
「我可以出去玩嗎?」小隱興奮的跑去問院長。689Please respect copyright.PENANAJHG3RU3L2H
「不可以玩的太瘋喔。」院長提醒她:「妳才剛吃完早飯呢。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAwxbebayQQ4
689Please respect copyright.PENANABEFYJ7OdQH
689Please respect copyright.PENANA94fb1TqVai
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⋯⋯?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAmlGk79MkHK
鈴鈴。689Please respect copyright.PENANAe1OuCyacrR
一陣風吹起,清脆的聲響隨著風傳至小隱耳裡。689Please respect copyright.PENANAhSlt1v9Xvb
有如被一條隱形的線牽著一般,她跑到了孤兒院的大門前。 689Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vw16KW7D7
鈴鈴。689Please respect copyright.PENANAgkxMDnIoTJ
掛在別人家的風鈴輕輕晃著。689Please respect copyright.PENANAAA9ufrieXp
「媽媽,快走吧!」一個小男孩拉著媽媽走出家門。689Please respect copyright.PENANAgzKAl2E516
「好好。」那位媽媽把大門關上。鈴鈴。「別跑啊,會跌倒。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAjxPt9hMY2Z
小隱不發一語的站在那裡,看著母子漸漸遠去。689Please respect copyright.PENANA42uXbOGHoa
而在她的腦中,浮現了一個正在笑的臉龐。689Please respect copyright.PENANAplkJgrb6Aw
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANABb1Knd6E08
「喂——!院長她叫大家回去了喔——」這時,她聽到有人喊著。689Please respect copyright.PENANAMUpAKCFxNE
她將思緒截斷。689Please respect copyright.PENANAlUpPpl7P49
轉身。689Please respect copyright.PENANA9pnykmXQMd
背對那母子的身影,與腦中的殘像。689Please respect copyright.PENANAHkgo4Gugh0
跑走。689Please respect copyright.PENANAc82vkXAjA1
***689Please respect copyright.PENANAyT2TeZxfrf
「小隱,來換藥了。」院長坐在小隱的床上,將她叫過去。689Please respect copyright.PENANAZTZQHdGk69
「⋯⋯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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAsC38WGDpff
「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。689Please respect copyright.PENANANlzsPdY5SZ
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。 689Please respect copyright.PENANAq0e1OtWHmV
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANACX8IZA9zZU
「——好了。」院長將最後一瓶藥收回箱子裡,「小心別讓繃帶脫落了。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA25iiE0QPB3
「謝謝。」小隱小心翼翼的躺了下來,叫住準備離去的院長,「⋯⋯院長。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAgPrujgLkPS
「嗯?」後者停下腳步。689Please respect copyright.PENANAGElwlqJWiw
「可以⋯⋯對我說聲晚安嗎?」她問:「就像⋯⋯之前的⋯⋯媽媽一樣。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAnM3ZB0C51W
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAxLMmuxidQg
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAuPDdDtkpzr
「晚安囉,小隱。」她摸摸她的頭說。689Please respect copyright.PENANAJKMDP60Z8h
「嗯,院長晚安。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA91rxgmA4Ce
小隱翻了個身,默默想著:感覺,還是不一樣。689Please respect copyright.PENANASxLiuDkWss
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsGX1TB1jIy
689Please respect copyright.PENANAtTcDYtUClw
在黑夜中,隔壁床的孩子似乎在暗暗哭泣著。689Please respect copyright.PENANAdgrIVdJU9K
還醒著的小隱聽到了,便用氣音問,「你在哭嗎?」689Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fnmjt4UqR
「⋯⋯我才沒哭。」那個孩子用帶著鼻音的聲音說。689Please respect copyright.PENANApSjjXsglk1
過了一會兒,那個孩子開口。689Please respect copyright.PENANAL3nU4feFUl
「我問妳⋯⋯妳會想念妳的爸爸媽媽嗎?」689Please respect copyright.PENANADf7xyNPjRp
小隱沈默一下,才回答:「我想念我媽媽。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAShPulIpfHP
周圍很安靜,幾乎只能聽見這個孩子的聲音。689Please respect copyright.PENANAFQstdbyiJ0
「別難過。」小隱試著安慰他。689Please respect copyright.PENANA63UigoMQRQ
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAVdrFUoi1m7
是啊,她也想念。689Please respect copyright.PENANAyy8f3b6F3G
想念那個已經死去了很久、很久的媽媽。689Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXksgpslz
她輕輕閉上眼,無聲重複著。689Please respect copyright.PENANAUZmjfDlBjn
很久。689Please respect copyright.PENANAyZMiXpiwbV
***689Please respect copyright.PENANAgyLqA7dSE2
自從看到那對母子後,她每天早上都會跑到門邊看。689Please respect copyright.PENANAVCig1dijkU
689Please respect copyright.PENANAyQBdK1HQ7u
對面的門打開,熟悉的鈴聲響起。689Please respect copyright.PENANABt3SkkoePN
「別再拖拖拉拉的了,快一點!」母親集氣敗壞的唸道。689Please respect copyright.PENANA1JiM2MT6rm
「等一下——」小男孩穿鞋的速度依然緩慢。689Please respect copyright.PENANAPCgQ4MyKVh
「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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAJqsT3v1wVn
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!」689Please respect copyright.PENANA1o2EjcqZSN
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?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAqg678eomGD
小男孩點點頭,拉緊她的衣服,「妳不可以丟下我喔。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA4ktE0jXhcq
「不會不會,」母親牽起他的手,「我會一直在你身邊,好嗎?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAz2HMoqYq59
聽到這句話,小隱像觸電一樣顫了一下。689Please respect copyright.PENANAphvbY3bkWB
689Please respect copyright.PENANA39ya1D9FDN
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4x4qASx5uq
——「媽媽,我們家沒有爸爸對不對?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAGvcePAdX4d
——「是啊。不過沒關係,媽媽只要有妳就夠了。」689Please respect copyright.PENANAfIBkqprZ8i
——「真的?」689Please respect copyright.PENANAbHZDYtACrX
——「當然是真的!而且不用擔心,我會一直在妳身邊的。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA6D16qVJ2jC
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZJzWWSzT60
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvOLh416CDh
我會一直在妳身邊。689Please respect copyright.PENANAYdSyoPCuGM
689Please respect copyright.PENANALa0BR4hHPk
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAniUSfPQekm
***689Please respect copyright.PENANALdRJBNQtLc
這個晚上,她做了個惡夢。689Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4PMr8KadC
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAaP4gU0k6BK
路途中,突然「碰」的一聲。689Please respect copyright.PENANAMFEp2lbsec
震耳欲聾的聲響震著她的耳膜。689Please respect copyright.PENANAKgCq3fgEXE
撞擊聲,以及彷彿來自遠處的尖叫聲。689Please respect copyright.PENANALO6ecDWRPW
不一會兒,一切靜止了下來。689Please respect copyright.PENANAuiycngTQrn
媽媽在哪裡?發生什麼事了?好痛⋯⋯689Please respect copyright.PENANAlGR6rzbdby
焦急的她奮力撐開眼皮。689Please respect copyright.PENANALmvm9ZVpjw
當她看到眼前的景象時,她征住了。689Please respect copyright.PENANAeDWTCelwCW
一雙充滿血絲的空洞雙眼正在瞪著她。689Please respect copyright.PENANAI9tkkAfTcm
689Please respect copyright.PENANAKq7LygU2Oo
689Please respect copyright.PENANAaIAvwg1Dor
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAes3jrtPgmz
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANApKBgpS64HI
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y32ZCdZrm
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPKgwaUFFw1
——以前,她的媽媽是個很開朗的人。689Please respect copyright.PENANAiSn3RPX4ug
「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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQu5ESxKt
「遊樂園?」689Please respect copyright.PENANA131LJ7shj3
「是啊,有好多好玩的東西喔!」媽媽掩飾不住興奮的笑容。689Please respect copyright.PENANAYwK5Q6M9Qf
「好啊!」小隱也開心的說。689Please respect copyright.PENANAdVUfaLEqG8
689Please respect copyright.PENANAziyFkOFIaU
689Please respect copyright.PENANAX2AW8SpkZ3
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANA6jRMCqBZ0L
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQcVHCzki2D
689Please respect copyright.PENANAX6A45FwgsE
「媽媽。」小隱搖著緊閉眼睛、皺著眉頭的媽媽,「媽媽!」689Please respect copyright.PENANAQwW4mQgYGa
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——」689Please respect copyright.PENANA1u5PYhZ0j4
「小隱,我在想事情!」媽媽突然受不了大吼。689Please respect copyright.PENANAugd7rQZGdJ
看著生氣怒吼的媽媽,小隱喃喃吐出幾個字,「⋯⋯對不起。」689Please respect copyright.PENANA84ojh0MZYD
——689Please respect copyright.PENANA7ju6vKwmDs
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAxDQSK4dNp1
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANApLo063vqiY
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAJRDPGKuPrb
睡吧。睡吧。689Please respect copyright.PENANAHKr6afBe3L
漸漸,雪地變得不再那麼刺骨,甚至暖和了起來。689Please respect copyright.PENANA8aeAyO6cUr
或許,這份溫暖也只是幻覺而已,如同那個耳語。689Please respect copyright.PENANAmeUgYdep4e
她止不住顫抖的低聲說,「我⋯⋯」689Please respect copyright.PENANAJxT1OJofHH
想念妳。從很久以前開始。689Please respect copyright.PENANAtDtTxHlmqK
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。689Please respect copyright.PENANAmic9VdnsUF
睡吧。689Please respect copyright.PENANAB5n6DmwmLH
689Please respect copyright.PENANALQfVgSfJHi
689Please respect copyright.PENANAazFbNRjDr8
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——689Please respect copyright.PENANAAecYJEHh9C
那是個有著溫柔微笑的女性。689Please respect copyright.PENANANzyaPfjjHo
