Once upon the time, I have had a dream. Although I don’t really remember what it is about and who appeared in it, I want to reminisce it for a little bit….
It was a serene afternoon when the classroom was immersed in the dusk, in which I was sitting on a chair, being drowsy.
My English teacher, who is a charming woman with excellent wit, seemingly never noticed me sleeping. She was still teaching us, using her sweet voice.
I eventually decided to take out my notebook.
I like to write some jabberwockies in my notebook now and then. The sequence of words I written in the notebook is more or less blue, but there have to be someone who can comprehend it, I think.
There was a title already written in a page: “I have had a dream”. I need to say that it is not easy to write a story following such a ambiguous topic. However, this is just a kind of alleviation, so who cares. Anyway, the story begins.
那是一个,宁静的下午。
老朽坐在摇椅上,闭目养神。等待着死神的降临。
恍惚间,老朽做了一个梦,那是老朽出生八十三年来,似乎在哪见到过的场景。
微微睁开眼,眼前的整个世界都被夕阳浸没了,满天都是耀眼的金黄。落地窗外的不远处,林立着无数座高楼大厦,其中有一座,是老朽几十年前的初中所在地。
在凋零的记忆中苦苦搜寻半天后,老朽终于想起,那个时候发生的一个,微不足道的故事了。
老朽和她相遇,是在初二那年。十五年前就早已离开人世的,老朽初中时候的班主任,当年特意调整了老朽的座位,于是老朽便有幸以同桌的身份,与她相识。
老朽还记得,她有着一副可爱的脸,经常穿着牛仔裤在学校里到处溜达。老朽当时并没意识到,自己已经无可救药地,对她一见钟情了,只是喜欢在今天这种夕阳做成的帘幕下,远远地注视着她的背影。
可能是缘分不够吧,老朽自上高中以来就再也没见过她了,只是知道她去了一所不好的中学,甚至不知道,几十年后的今天,她是否还在这个世上,甚至连她的姓名,都忘却了。
闷在家里也不是个事儿,老朽决定出去走走。
“哟!大爷,这么晚了,出来遛弯儿啊?” 小区门口的保安热情地向老朽打招呼。
“嗯….” 老朽冲他笑了笑,走出了小区门口。老朽这一生,也算是幸福美满了,只是,只是还有一个小小的遗憾。如此想着,夕阳沉到了地平线以下。城里的路灯,如同约定好了似的,一齐点亮。
“回去吧….” 老朽见太阳下了山,计划着打道回府。不曾想,刚转过身,就和一个陌生人撞了个满怀。
“不好意思,不好意思…..” 陌生人是个老太太,对着老朽连连说着对不起。
“啊…没关系,我没什么事儿,您也没事儿就好。”
互相寒暄一番后,老朽告了辞,但眼前这位同龄人却突然想知道老朽叫什么名字。
无奈,老朽便告诉了他。“我叫….宁保,宁静的宁,保重的保。”
“嗯….谢谢,我叫姚雨,姚黄的姚,下雨的雨。”
“不知可否冒昧问您儿,您如今生活在这座城市,幸福吗。” 老朽不知为何,很想最后如此问她一句。
“实不相瞒,很幸福。”
老朽回到了家,重新坐回了摇椅上。不知为何,眺望着冉冉升起的明月,老朽感觉十分幸福。
没准儿,是陌生人的幸福打动了老朽吧。毕竟,老朽一直认为,陌生人的幸福,就是老朽的幸福。
I put down my pen, then stretched my sore arms.
“Ahh….the story sucks! It seems that I am not good at writing stories.”
English class was about to end, and my dream was about to end, too.
Although my memory is not good, I can at least record my precious dream on my notebook, can’t I?
