8 月 23 日,雨。244Please respect copyright.PENANA3OvoijHj3c
244Please respect copyright.PENANAqyeMYxhFbs
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAZdYTp932Bm
244Please respect copyright.PENANAOKBhF7dOYa
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAL6sHYWz2hR
244Please respect copyright.PENANA4TYmakcdn0
「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。244Please respect copyright.PENANANUwFdxFomM
244Please respect copyright.PENANAgeJhv4D2Eu
「過了今天,我們觀塘人要直接到上水找公公,也變成難事了…」244Please respect copyright.PENANACyQyJP2j4a
244Please respect copyright.PENANAr4cdns3Zih
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANALkWcFh6wGp

「的確是呢…妳說對不對啊?阿慧。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAk2VXA1yaML
244Please respect copyright.PENANAWrdhyATj9b
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANArfQ3p6B1RK

244Please respect copyright.PENANAhF7QbZkrqn
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAHuTB7ieiKy
244Please respect copyright.PENANAE9UZZE9o2I
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAuZqZFTNDfU
244Please respect copyright.PENANA9z2Qddaq8t
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 。244Please respect copyright.PENANAK8NsyIM8bN
244Please respect copyright.PENANAX6VtJc7hJL
「是小遙啊。」車上男人打開前門,微微一笑。244Please respect copyright.PENANAfk3yvLwgdL
244Please respect copyright.PENANAlN6THhRw59
「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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANA5VH6kyvwsb
244Please respect copyright.PENANAecDsoivikf
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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAMDkAHuTyW6
244Please respect copyright.PENANAYWgoMmfNtm
「不用等阿信嗎?」小遙追問,但阿雲搖搖頭,轉身離去。244Please respect copyright.PENANAqklhLxQt7e
244Please respect copyright.PENANASLmj0ERtNj
「要再見總有機會的,又不是去死。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAscHWAoMxzq
244Please respect copyright.PENANASyaO7wCTgG
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANASSNEpons0X
244Please respect copyright.PENANAMLEttls5X0
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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAKduxI1Qri9
244Please respect copyright.PENANAlBbMisFZTH
「是啊。」244Please respect copyright.PENANA7h4J7ePJsk
244Please respect copyright.PENANAFhCPFLD4zC
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAps8rSMjJzd
244Please respect copyright.PENANAj4GfzdN1nN
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAxI1961lj3c
244Please respect copyright.PENANApg0wANZSsA
「喂,你好歹也先轉牌嘛。」拿起相機,小遙嘟噥。244Please respect copyright.PENANAoZqSCAJpHe
244Please respect copyright.PENANAPG5QcEWrAm
「好吧。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAe1xZcQMolF
244Please respect copyright.PENANAK7xYBI2uLN
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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANA5GbEdPkcu2
244Please respect copyright.PENANAI4lBr7mtk4
「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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAXLU9AIFL1C
244Please respect copyright.PENANApihRVUpfxJ
「也對,不會不見。」咧嘴一笑,阿信踏出站長室,跟明哥揮手分別。244Please respect copyright.PENANADq5o91SEbw
244Please respect copyright.PENANA8tRI8raywS
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAIvl3ZGP1QX
244Please respect copyright.PENANARzhzTCGsbm
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAEX17qBURm1
244Please respect copyright.PENANA47aX1nbaOg
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAyEmQmuxcd1
244Please respect copyright.PENANAhHVo1qXA6l
「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。244Please respect copyright.PENANAMzuWJm7kzZ
244Please respect copyright.PENANAiJhjA7jYie
上水。244Please respect copyright.PENANASIhbzcvPry
244Please respect copyright.PENANAylfj5MAEk2
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANApureMu9lP1
244Please respect copyright.PENANA5BFvjepGgE
「怎麼了?」在後門探頭上來,小遙追問僵住不動的阿信。244Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Wzgmg9PO
244Please respect copyright.PENANAHWPRlCMboL
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。244Please respect copyright.PENANA4WtSTLOIuj
244Please respect copyright.PENANAJYOELmgvDt
「剛剛,我沒動過膠牌。我只是握著棍,但沒動。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAXv8rGDMOht
244Please respect copyright.PENANAcooBEfwvhm
小遙一怔,但秒間她理解這是發生何事。244Please respect copyright.PENANAMzknMOKi6d
244Please respect copyright.PENANAwev82cnd1S
「…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。」244Please respect copyright.PENANAGdcCSEP36y
244Please respect copyright.PENANAzHRdhVdPTA
阿信回首,望向無人的車尾。是這樣吧,月媚。244Please respect copyright.PENANABENPUpPM0Z
244Please respect copyright.PENANArCnIJTKUxK
放好背包,把倒後鏡調好,阿信坐上駕駛座。244Please respect copyright.PENANAH9H7UvPEms
