I Love You

I love you,
Do you love me too?
Just an easy question,
And the answer might be simple;
If cruelty lies within,
Keep the answer,
Don't tell me right now,
Whisper it to the stars,
Write it on the rain drop;
You can even blindfold me,
Let me touch the lovely roses,
Or feel the puncture by its thorns,
For me to know the truth.


You might have not bearing,
The answer I desire to hear,
But you are the only one
I would like to ask,
I love you,
Do you love me too?

“预产期是下星期吧？看来我们要随时准备了。”王爸爸有些紧张。

“对啊。。。啊，奕铭回来了。”王妈妈对着甫踏进家门的王奕铭说。

“爸，妈！”

“吃了晚饭吗？”

“还没，洗完澡我就要去睡了。很累。”

“真的不要吃晚饭吗？”

“不了！”语毕，王奕铭便匆匆地跑上楼去了。

王奕铭躺在床上，静待入眠。其实他也不太累，只是老觉得今天的心绪不宁，不断记忆起那场意外。他实在不要想起任何不开心的事情，包括扑朔迷离的那一个晚上。

过了不久，王奕铭把双眼合上了。正当要他酝酿睡意时，他听到了有人轻轻地叫一声了他的名字。

这叫声唤起了王奕铭拼命隐藏的记忆，这叫声就和当天晚上的一模一样。

王奕铭登时睡意全消！

他张开了眼睛，这次他很清楚地看到黄威胜就坐在床边，凝视着他。王奕铭想要张嘴叫喊，但他发觉他的喉咙发不出声音，全身也不能动弹。他其实不想与黄威胜对望，但黄威胜却像有一股吸引力，他只得张大眼睛看着黄威胜，眼光闪烁着极度的恐慌。

“别怕,我不会伤害你的。我还是我，虽然我已经是。。。” 黄威胜脸色很苍白，说话也有些沙哑低沉。

“上次我被货车撞时，我当场死亡，你目睹整个过程，吓得丢了一半的魂魄在那里。当时我是新鬼，立时被鬼差拉了去地府报到。” 黄威胜说得很缓慢，他眼睛眨也不眨地望着王奕铭。

“到了回魂夜，我才能帮你招魂。但当我招来你九分魂的时候，你突然醒来了。我当时无法可想，惟有和你连魂。不然你的魂魄不全，左手会残废的。”

“在和你连魂这段期间，你会不知觉地做我生前爱做的东西，喜欢我喜欢的，讨厌我讨厌的。我知道你开始对隔壁班的刘宝娜有好感了。你知道的，她一直是我很喜欢的女生。”

“现在你的魂魄已经齐全了，我也是时候投胎去了。奕铭，你是我的好朋友，我希望你会记得我。你可能不知道，我们之间缘分是很深的。很抱歉之前吓着你了。” 黄威胜说毕就突然消失了，王奕铭呼吸急促，看着他消失的方向久久不能言语。

——————————————————————————————————————————————

“爸，妈会没事的，你别担心。” 王奕铭安慰他焦急的爸爸道。

王爸爸不停在产房外徘徊，满头大汗，嘀咕着：“你妈进去很久了。。。”说着，把头转向产房又说：“该不会出了什么事吧？”

就在这时，一位医生从产房走了出来并对焦虑的王爸爸说：“恭喜你，先生。你的宝宝很健康。”喜极而泣的王爸爸握了握医生的手便冲进了产房，王奕铭随后紧跟着。

王妈妈身侧躺着一个男婴，气色红润，但出奇地安静。王爸爸激动地握着王妈妈的手，一时与王妈妈对望，一时慈爱地看着宝宝。

王奕铭一踏入产房，便愣住了，他仿佛不可思议地揉一揉双眼。

他看到了那个男婴，在王爸爸与王妈妈对望时，对他咧嘴笑了笑，随即便恢复了正常。

那一瞬间，男婴笑得非常地诡异。

直到王爸爸叫道：“奕铭，快来看看你的弟弟啊！”，王奕铭才回过神来，他狐疑地走向病床。王奕铭再定神看了看他弟弟，他拼命忍住才能让自己不喊出来！

他看到了男婴脸上的痣和手上三角形的胎印，不论位置和形状，全部和黄威胜生前的一模一样！

数日前黄威胜对他说的那一句：“你可能不知道，我们之间缘分是很深的。。。”突然一直回荡在他的耳边。

“奕铭，你以后要好好照顾你的弟弟哟。。。”王妈妈轻轻地说。

王奕铭苦笑着，他不知道以后要怎样对待他这个‘弟弟’！

（完）

王奕铭猛地挣扎，但那只手的力道非常地大，死硬地把他拉了起来，王奕铭抵抗不住，在好奇心和恐惧感的驱使下，他用力地睁开双眼！

在他面前的原来是他爸爸。

他爸爸非常地惊慌，不断地喊着他名字，问他到底发生了什么事。

王奕铭不答，他只觉得一阵恍惚，就在这时他身怀六甲的妈妈也气吁吁地把上楼来。

刚才到底是梦，抑或真的是鬼？

难道是黄威胜的鬼魂回来找他？

若是真的，王奕铭难免害怕，虽然他们曾经是好朋友。

难道黄威胜变成鬼后，性情大变，要找他填命？

想到这里，王奕铭不禁颤抖了一下。这一切太真实了，他已经下意识地否定了所发生的事情是一个梦。

事情在王奕铭父母满怀狐疑和同时间庆幸他们的儿子不药而愈。他们三番四次地打探王奕铭的口风，但王奕铭对于当晚的事，一个字也不说，他们也不再问了。

王奕铭战战兢兢地迎接第二个晚上。

但什么也没发生，接连几个晚上也是。

王奕铭防范之心松懈了，他的生活也开始恢复正常。

王奕铭很害怕，全身打着哆嗦，因为他亲眼目睹好朋友黄威胜的死亡过程，但现在他却听到了他的声音！虽然很害怕，他还是聚集全身所有的力量，缓缓地把头转过去声音的来源。他转动得非常缓慢，就在一瞬间，他眼角稍微看到离窗口旁不远有一个人影，王奕铭立即停止移动，他全身僵直，只是头部向着左上角。声音一直没有停歇，来源确实是自那人影发出来，王奕铭依稀认得那人影的身形和他的好朋友黄威胜相似。王奕铭维持着姿势不敢动，只是全身在颤抖着，他也没有胆量直视那人影，只是用斜视把它扫进了视线范围最旁边的模糊地带。

猝然，那个人影缓缓移动，也把脸转向王奕铭，原本断断续续的轻呼声：“奕铭，奕铭。。。”，就在这时静止了。由于房间没有灯光，王奕铭只能依稀看到那个人影的脸部轮廓。

黑暗中，王奕铭感觉到那个人影在注视着他。

墙上的钟声嘀嗒嘀嗒在一片死寂下，特别刺耳。

数分钟过去了，王奕铭依然和那个人影在‘对望’着。

就在王奕铭在思量着该不该夺门而逃时，发自那个人影的呼叫声突然间又响起了，而且越来越快速，越来越大声！

“奕铭，奕铭，奕铭。。。！”

呼声到了一个阶段竟然是撕裂的，那个人影也在慢慢地往王奕铭移动！

“啊啊！救命啊！啊啊啊！”

王奕铭终于崩溃了，他紧闭双眼，用力地用双手掩盖他的双耳，并歇斯底里地狂喊着，似乎要以自己声音对抗那一股声音。

一只冰冷的手突然紧握着王奕铭的手！

王奕铭和黄威胜是好朋友，他们俩无论做什么都是形影不离，感情之好甚至有人怀疑他们是同性恋，但他们的确不是。

一天，他们俩同游市集。猝然，一辆势如狂牛的货车驶过，撞向黄威胜，登时把他撞个身首异处。一旁的王奕铭虽然逃过一劫，毫发无伤，但也吓得目瞪口呆，全身不停打颤。其后，王奕铭便目光呆滞，不能言语，仿佛一个没有灵魂的躯体。

黄威胜被撞死后的接连六天，王奕铭依然目瞪口呆，眼神一直放空，不管其他人向他说什么，他也毫无反应。他的家人带他看遍附近的中西医，得到的诊断大同小异，大致都是惊吓过度。服了各式各样的药，病情不见好转。他的家人虽然急得像热锅上的蚂蚁，但已经手足无措了。他的父亲提议带他去庙里拜拜，问一问神明。结果，情形还是一样，庙里的住持说他的灵魂已被黄威胜带走了。

就在黄威胜死后的第七夜，王奕铭在漆黑房里躺着，他呆望天花板，墙上的钟声嘀嗒嘀嗒地响着，其时为凌晨十二时十二分，他的家人都已入寝了。突然间，有人轻呼他的名字：“奕铭，奕铭。。。”声音在宁静的夜极为突出，呼声并不是一个字一个字地吐出，却是断断续续地，极为不干净利落。呼声持续了几分钟，原本发呆的奕铭，突然之间有了反应，脸上尽是恐惧的表情。他仿佛认得出，那呼声正是死了的黄威胜的声音！

Looking For The Shooting Star

(1)

A boy was holding his chin near a window while looking at the sky, with great concentration. It was a peaceful and silent night without much shrill chirping noise of the crickets and cicadas. Countless glittery stars crowded the sky as if they were competing to see which of them shone the brightest.

A middle-aged woman slowly approached the boy covered the boy in with a blanket. “Adrian,” gently, she whispered the boy’s name. “Why aren’t you on your bed yet? Aren’t you feeling tired?”

The boy named Adrian never left his sight out of the sky. “Mom, I am waiting for the shooting star.” He said, without the slightest move of his head.

“Oh, honey. Come here.” The woman called the boy to sit beside her on the boy’s bed.

Reluctantly, the boy walked to his mother and cuddled up to his mother. “You can’t see a shooting star everyday, silly boy. No one knows when will a shooting star appears. Why you want to see a shooting star so badly, honey?” said the woman while gently fondling the boy’s hair.

“Carmen told me that we can make a wish when we see a shooting star, the wish we make upon a shooting star will come true.” Said the boy.

“Carmen? Isn’t she the little cute girl living next door?”

“She is not cute, mom! She took away many of my favourite toys! Carmen is a big bully!” The boy responded immediately.

“Is that so?” The woman whispered in the boy’s ear, with a skeptical face expression. “Then why is my baby boy blushing now?” The woman suddenly tickled Adrian and made him burst into laughter.

“Mom, stop it! Hahaha, mom! Mom, stop it! Haha!” The silence of the night was disturbed by the laughter.

A hunting owl that was scared, roughly flapped its wings and flied to other place. After a short while, the laughter suddenly stopped. Inside the house, the woman was holding her son closer to her and they gazed the sky together through the window. For a long moment, they never made a sound, both of them cherished this rare moment where they could spend time together.

The woman was taking two jobs to make ends meet. She worked as a cleaner at a primary school in the morning while at night; she washes dishes at a restaurant. Tonight was an invaluable day where she got to spend time with her son as the restaurant owner was taking a vacation.

“Mom, mom?” The boy suddenly spoke, kind of startled the woman who was obviously falling into deep thought.

“Yes? Yes, my baby. I’m here.”

“Where is daddy?”

This was the same question that woman had kept seeking for two years. The only difference was that the woman was looking for her husband, the same person whom her son called ‘daddy’.

There was no news, no compensation whatsoever of her husband from the military and the government. All she got from the authorities who sent her husband to the front line was “Your husband is serving the country, ma’am. You should be very proud of that instead of keep asking your husband to go back home when the country needs him! We can give you nothing 'cause everything about the war is classified. We’ll update you as soon as possible when we receive any news about your husband from the war zone, we promise you! All I ask you to do now is, try to be patient, ma’am.”

And so she waited, for two years, holding the empty promise given by the authorities, bearing the fantasy that one day her husband will suddenly open the front door, give her the deepest kiss and tell her how much he loves her. But, deep down in the other corner of her heart, she knew that she might never see her husband again.

“Mom, why are you crying?”The boy’s nervous voice broke the silence again.

The woman, sobbing and she couldn't stop her tears from falling down. She hugged her son tightly as if she was going to lose her son in such the way she had lost her husband.

Think

Sometimes, I like to remain silent and stay in the dark just to blur my vision so that my brain can think clearer. Various distractions are out there, and you are most likely to be distracted by your own pair of eyes. So, I think. I think about you, I think about myself and I think about us; I think about him, I think about her and I think about them.

But thinking alone is not sufficient for us to achieve anything.

I am still thinking what to be achieved. I already have the outline now though.

I have decided to take action now. Merely outline is more than enough for me to move.
