第三章 有一种幸福叫守候(9)
Sitting beside her in a dimly lit room that smelled sharply of disinfectant, I realized that because my life was so intertwined with hers, I, too, was a patient. I felt depleted and wrecked as I stared blankly out the window at pink-gray clouds slowly traversing the afternoon sky.
It was almost 7 p.m. before she stirred. I heard her moan, and moved to the edge of the bed. I lightly touched her lips with an ice chip from the pitcher on her bedside table, and brushed the gray-flecked hair across her sweaty brow.
“I love you.” I said.
At these words, her eyes opened hesitantly. At first her gaze seemed confused and unfocused, but for an instant her eyes sharpened with recognition, and a gentle smile lifted the edges of her mouth.
“I love you too,” she whispered, and then her eyelids shut. I was close to exhaustion and dislocated in time as I recalled the moment I first saw her. It was as if I was young again and the sun was resplendent in the morning sky. She is the one, I said once more in my mind’s voice. She is the one.
第一次见到她时,她正在校园的操场上漫步。我站在那里,目光追随着她的倩影,呆住了。她就是我的至爱,我对自己说。
那正是开学的第一天,我向同学问起她,他们说她已经有男朋友了,让我忘了她。
几个月后,听说她跟男朋友分手了。但是,至少过了半年后,我才向她提出约会的请求。我打电话到寝室找她,紧张得吐字不清,甚至把她的前后名字都说反了。“周六晚上请你吃晚饭,好吗?”提议完,我尴尬极了,害怕她会拒绝。“乐意之至。”她的声音听起来似乎很开心。
星期六,我去宿舍接她,她的美丽再次深深地打动了我。我在30里外的餐馆预订了晚餐。开车去那儿时,我却迷路了,在乡间小路上漫无目的地转了一个多小时后,我越来越焦躁,她却一直兴致高昂。她说,她读过这些乡村的历史,很高兴能来游玩。
我们最终没能找到那家餐馆,汽油快用完了。10点时,我们才吃了点汉堡和薯条,算是晚餐。她身着美丽的花裙,金黄的直发和娇好的面容,使她在当地孩子中间显得更加光彩照人。
回到学校后,我正要为晚上的一切道歉,但感觉到她用自己那温暖的手握住了我的手,然后迅速地在我脸上吻了一下,温柔地说道:“谢谢你让我度过一
