放逐远方

她从没想过。没想过再次见到他会是在一个小学同学的生日会上。更没想过会在一年九个月后再次跟他说话。

她记得二十岁生日的那个晚上,她得知他和她十年的好友走在一起的消息。
她记得从那开始再也不敢晚上出门,因为害怕看到他们在一起。
她记得二十一岁生日那个晚上,他们两个一起来到她家门口送礼物。那是她收过最残忍的祝福。
她收到的是一只手表。也许是要提醒她,时间会冲淡一切。

当她知道他会出席生日会的时候,愣了一下。她一点心理准备都没有。
还没来得及思考要怎么面对,他已经到了。
他打了招呼,她没看见。他以为她还是不想跟他说话。

当她知道后,有点内疚。等他走过来的时候,她说:“坐啊。”
他笑了笑点点头。

沉默了许久,她又问:“不吃?”

“吃过了。”

沉默。

“你现在在做什么?”

“读书咯。”

“读什么?”

“中文。”

她并没有特别惊讶。过了这么久,他仍然对她的近况不清楚。

又是一阵沉默。

“你还在给那个老师的孩子补习吗?”

她呆了两三秒。

“没了。”

这一次,她确实很惊讶。她想不到他还记得。

另外一个小学同学开始在那里有意无意地不停说话。也许他感觉到了其中的尴尬。
说着说着,已很晚了。三个人一同走到巴士站。
她发现自己仍然喜欢走在他的后面,看他的背影。
她仍然喜欢听到他的笑声。

还没走到巴士站,那个同学的巴士来了。于是他赶上去,离开了。
剩下他们两个。

从走到巴士站到坐下来等巴士,大概有三分钟。他们没有说到半句话。
确实不像她。
她常觉得自己不论是跟谁都会有话聊。
但是今晚,她真的不知道该说什么好。

当她正在绞尽脑汁想想应该说什么的时候,他的巴士来了。
他并没有意识到。也许他也在想应该说些什么。

“你的车来了,bye bye。”

“哦…好快哦…”

“Bye bye。”

“Hmmm…See you soon. Bye。”

她并没有再回应,因为她最不喜欢说再见。她笑笑,挥了挥手。

看到他上了车,隔着巴士的玻璃窗再次挥了挥手。

她一个人坐在巴士车站。
过去发生的事一瞬间在她脑海里闪过。
她并没有难过。
不觉得痛,而是觉得空。

她有点希望他会发个简讯告诉她保重还是什么的。
然后她发现自己之前换了号码,没有告诉他。
也许这样更好,因为她永远不会知道他最后有没有发简讯给她。
可能有呢?

不管有没有,她知道,她其实还是希望他幸福的。
但更重要的是,她觉得感觉确实已经不在了。

原来时间真的会冲淡一切。

我只留下原谅在你身旁
把我的爱放逐远方
藏在心里
你看不见的地方
——萧亚轩 《你看不见的地方》

P.S: When I was feeling intimidated by the deafening silence around me and wanted to call someone, a good friend randomly called me. I guess it really feels very good to hear a familiar voice in the night, especially a night like this. Thank you Eric!

I'll never understand.

Some people, you try to break them before you build them. Some people, you are only remembered by them when they need your help. Some people, you spend time trying to change them only to realise you were never someone who could impact their lives. Some people, they hurt you so much but you know, they are just not worth it. So, don't bother. ASPIRE 2010 was a screwed yet another learning experience for me this time. I'd really like to thank my fellow peers for going through shit with me. And thank goodness that I believe in miracles. You never know what happens until the last minute, really. I never felt so shagged, and devastated about people.

All the small things.

So blonde Neo came with a packet of sushi and my chrysanthemum tea and Mr. Bean's pancakes. We continued to gorge ourselves with cones (actually just 2) of Cornetto which I bought to reward myself after a long time of not having eaten ice cream. We studied and also watched The Family Court. I really feel sad for AhWU that everyones hates his Leshan role but I guess he's right that actors and actresses like to see audiences' reactions towards their acting. What a breakthrough for him! Had supper with Shirl and Eh Chris! at somewhere nearby. Continued to study with Angie and we (or rather I) had a bad night because she was coughing quite badly. Blonde Neo I tell you, you better start drinking bottles of water when you get home today. NO MORE CHIPS!!! I'm watching you.... So anyway, in the morning we had Mac breakfast and Angie FINALLY invited me to her house wheeeeeeeee. Happening hor? Meeting the climates (Auntie Rainbow, Sunshine boy and Rain) later to celebrate mid-aut...
