第41章 用爱雕刻时光 (2)

And then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart, the heart where the music and the words had always lived. And while she rested there, the magic happened. She heard what she needed to hear.

His heart beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say…

I love you, little girl!

I love you, little girl!

I love you, little girl!

从前有一个了不起的人,娶了他理想中的女人为妻。他们相爱并生了一个小女孩。小女孩很聪明,父亲很喜欢她。

在她很小的时候,他经常会抱着她,哼着歌曲跳舞,并对她说“我爱你,小丫头。”

小女孩慢慢长大,他还会拥抱着她对她说:“我爱你,小丫头。”这时小女孩总会撅起嘴说:“我已经不再是小丫头了。”他就会笑着说:“可在我眼里,你永远都是我的小丫头。”

不再是小丫头的小女孩离开了家来到了外面的世界。当她更多地认识了自己之后,她也就更多地认识了她的父亲。她发现他是一个真正伟大的人,而这种伟大的表现之一就是他善于表达对家人的爱。无论她走到哪里,他都会打电话给她对她说:“我爱你,小丫头。”

直到有一天,这位了不起的父亲突发中风。他再也不能说话,再也不能微笑、大笑、行走、拥抱、跳舞,再也不能对小女孩说他爱她了。

于是她回到了父亲的身边。他看着她想对她说些什么却什么也说不出来。

小女孩做了她唯一可以做的事情。她爬到了父亲的床边。泪水从他们的眼中流出,她伸出胳膊搂住了父亲的双肩。

她把头靠在父亲的胸前,往事涌上心间。她想起了和父亲共度的美好时光,想起了父亲的呵护与宠爱。她再也不能听到曾给她安慰的爱的话语,无法承受的痛苦让她感到悲伤。

然而,就在此时她听到了来自父亲心底的声音,那是那颗永远充满音乐和爱的语言的心跳动的声音。就在她把头靠在父亲胸前的时候,奇迹发生了。她听到了她想听到的声音。

他的心唱出了他不能说出的话……

我爱你,小丫头!

我爱你,小丫头!

我爱你,小丫头!

Blue Love蓝色恋情

Just separated with Blue, Blue is a very nice girl, beautiful and gentle. Many friends said that I was a fool to let her go. Even though it was hard, I still had to let her go.

The 1st day

Using her blanket and covering herself tightly, she didn’t get up. Her dorm mates were afraid to go in and comfort her. She didn’t eat anything the whole day, didn’t wash her face or brush her teeth. At night, I could hear her crying beneath the blanket.

The 2nd day

She ate today, forced down by her roommates. Her eyes were red. I always called her “Cry baby”. She always squirmed her mouth and retorted: “No, I’m not.”

The 3rd day

Today, she dressed very sexy, walked into a bar and drank a lot of alcohol. Using tempting moves, she surveyed the room. Many men came up to her and flirted with her telling her how beautiful she was. She drank a lot more. When a much older man, old enough to be her father, walked up and said: “Miss, let me take you home,” she splashed her drink onto his face. As the older man got ready to slap her, Mu showed up and saved Blue. I know all this because I was watching from a corner in the bar.

The 4th day

Today, she got up really early. After busying around all morning, she locked herself inside the bathroom. When her roommates opened the door, they were amazed: “So clean.”

The 5th day

She began studying. She had done very well in school before. However, when we got together, her grades deteriorated. It is good to focus on something else as it will improve recovery.

Three months later

She became president of the Student Union. She is becoming more and more able. She also becomes more open. Soon, she will need to prepare for graduate school.

One year later

There are many men beside her, many who are better than me. She never takes notice of them, but she gets along with Ling very well. There are rumors about them in school. She treats him like an elder brother, but rumor cannot be blocked.

Three years later

She is getting married. The groom is Ling. She is writing wedding invitations. After she wrote one, two, and three…12th card, she bent over the desk and tears fell down uncontrollably. I stepped forward and saw that on all the invitations, the groom’s name was mine.

I want to cry too, but ghost cannot cry. I do not have any tears.

Three years ago, when I was carrying her birthday cake crossing a street, a car crashed into me.

和蓝分手了,蓝是个很好的女孩,很漂亮也很温柔,虽然很多朋友说我离开她很傻,可我还是放手了,虽然我很舍不得。

第一天

她没有起床,把自己用被子捂得严严实实的,她宿舍的人都不敢去安慰她,她一天都没有吃饭,连刷牙洗脸都没有,晚上睡觉的时候我听到她在被子里抽泣。

第二天

今天她吃饭了,是她的舍友强制性让她吃的。她的眼眶红红的,我总说她是个爱哭鬼,她每次都噘着小嘴说她不是。

第三天

今天她穿得很妖艳,走进一家酒吧,喝了好多酒,用一种很具诱惑力的眼光环视全场,好多人上来搭腔“小姐,你好漂亮啊。”她喝了很多,当一个年纪可以做她爸爸的男人对她说“小姐,我送你回家吧”的时候她把手中的酒全泼在他的脸上,那个该死的老头扬起他的手掌就要打下去的时候,小睦来了,救了蓝。这一切我都知道,我就在酒吧的一个角落里看着。

第四天

今天她早早就起床了,忙忙碌碌了一上午,然后把自己关在浴室里好久,当舍友们踹门进去的时候都惊呼道:“好干净啊!”

第五天

她开始学习了,其实她原来学习很好,我们开始后受我影响她的成绩也退步了,这也好,转移一下注意力,恢复得也快。

三个月后

她成了学生会主席,越来越能干,也开朗了不少,马上她就要考研了。

一年后

在她身边的男生很多,比我优秀的也很多,可她根本没在意过,不过她和凌关系很好,校园里谣传他们的关系很暧昧。她只是把他当哥哥,可是流言是挡不住的。

三年后

她要结婚了,新郎是凌,她在写结婚请帖,一张,两张,三张……,写到第十二张的时候她哭了,趴在桌上眼泪完全抑制不住,我上前一看,所有喜帖上的新郎写的都是我的名字。

我也很想哭,可是鬼魂是不能哭的,我没有眼泪。

三年前,我横穿马路,遇上车祸,手里提着要给她庆祝生日的蛋糕。

A Letter From The Father To His Son父亲致儿子的一封信

Dear son:

The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me …

If I get dirty when eating… if I can not dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.

If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times… do not interrupt me… listen to me

When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you gets to sleep…

When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me…

Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath…

When you?see my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…

I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to confront life…

When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.

When my tired legs do not allow me walk...

…Give me your hand… the same way I did when you gave your first steps.

And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more… that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.
