我無法相信這個來歷不明的男人。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FY6CK6ded

媽媽介紹說阿亮是她二十五年前上契的兒子。當時十歲的他又乖又可愛，學業成績很不錯，奈何天生欠運氣，生於不良家庭……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoGcpM1Ws

我一邊聽著陳年舊事，一邊斜眼仔細打量這個所謂「義子」：個子高䠷，五官端正，衣著樸素，彬彬有禮，穩重敦厚。他行為舉止並無不妥，但我硬是沒能輕易放下戒心——二十五年不曾聯絡，誰保證他仍然又乖又可愛？330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJehI6UIPO
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL8EyXI6Ut
媽媽每天與阿亮逛街、遊玩、看電影，買衫買錶買手提電話，花費全由她負責。她亦會主動替阿亮繳交雜費和屋租。有時候，媽媽被逗得大樂，甚至即興賞他千元。我火冒三丈——與阿亮重遇短短三個月，媽媽的銀行戶口已少了二十萬元！330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJHPO5H5p
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUi1qFmfCg
媽媽屢勸不聽，我唯有跟那傢伙談判。我依著早前在媽媽手袋偷偷找到的水費單地址來到阿亮住所。那是位於近郊地區的一間三層高獨立屋，裝潢新簇，難怪租金高昂。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyqhTBh4c3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6JQtTTLlH
步向大門，正要按下門鈴，忽聞一陣男女交歡淫穢之聲。我心不期然劇烈暴跳——腦海裡竟是媽媽與阿亮赤裸擁吻的畫面……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5HfkIylN7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3JnuiQU6I
不會吧！阿亮歲數與我差不多，年約三十五，媽媽年過六十……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMyXYCLGrT

大門旁有一扇趟窗，窗玻璃經磨砂處理，不被看透。發現趟窗未閂，有一細隙。我只消鼓起勇氣踏前幾步，就能清楚看見兩條肉蟲在門後或纏或顫……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsNg3h8Uy1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QMUvYKcUv
門後又傳來一陣浪叫，叫得我心驚肉跳，止步不前。我怕媽媽被騙財，更怕她被騙色。被騙財是笨，被騙色是對爸爸的背叛。若東窗事發，爸爸顏面何存？媽媽如何自處？我該講情或是講理？這個家能夠回復平靜嗎？330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn74ACTD70
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhzZVYHoFK
我怕，真的害怕，怕得轉身離開。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7w67ojU6
三日後，星期六，我放假。心情欠佳，宅在家裡看電視。爸爸與好友外出釣魚，媽媽參加了社區中心舉辦的「海鮮美食一日遊」，二人都說預計晚上九時許回家。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MdBvc896
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlgxd0qS33
居所空蕩，爸媽各自各精彩，無所事事的我更為心煩。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjGYWXcAL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfKrC01Pc
今天是否找阿亮談判的好時機？媽媽說參加活動是否謊話？她是否藉故離家一整天陪伴阿亮？她是否到那獨立屋去？那天被壓在胯下浪叫的女人是否……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz9wxwFtE2

懶閒的我猛然從梳化彈起，望向大門。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40b66UUUKt
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80GQADDtd5
是阿亮！330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySw2AqOd7k
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTsql6eRpU
「你怎麼會有鎖匙？」我驚詫得抱緊咕𠱸。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96o2aOmCTf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhALq3q7Nx
「你媽給我的。」阿亮脫下波鞋，純熟彎身在鞋櫃找到拖鞋，活像這單位的真正主人。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvqZlgEtnw
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTmHGLGID
「我不相信！」相比阿亮的泰然自若，慌張失措的我更似外來者。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6TkoToGX2
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0xVp1vu2Q
「你該早知道你媽有多相信我。」阿亮常速步近，在我旁邊座位坐下。「那天，屋外，你在。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0PiEBWpLv
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxUwaCY4Xd
我沒能立即反應過來——這傢伙到底是甚麼心態？完全無法理解他何以能夠如此輕易將羞恥事宣之於口！他態度是那麼的光明正大！那麼的理直氣壯！330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXRGobYoq
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQRspXD4ee
沒待我回話，阿亮逕自拿起遙控器轉換頻道，目光焦點全落在電視屏幕上。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNpoW7sTp7
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnofr6GH2L
我腦袋無法運轉，突感暈眩，唯有背靠梳化休息，盡量放鬆心情。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV6hzE80E8
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2PBH925M
整整十分鐘。他在我身邊看電視整整十分鐘。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIBVYXao4A
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c5CEGLfbf
他忽然拿起遙控器關掉電視電源，伸一伸懶腰，離開梳化，走向主人房：爸媽的睡房。「別擔心。其實我是來取回一點小東西——之前不小心遺留在這裡。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtAb8pws3r
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQm6A5zLLH
不知哪來的勇氣。我衝前拉住他，搧他一記耳光。整輩子的力氣和勇氣彷彿耗盡。我氣喘不已，心臟絞痛，腳軟無力。阿亮連忙攙扶我到梳化去，給我取來藥物和暖水。我沒有接過藥丸，猶豫望入他雙眼：這傢伙可信嗎？330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpmbYdHxTA
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4Z191xhf
「擔心我把藥物換掉嗎？」阿亮似乎明白我的想法，輕蔑一笑，順道在我失神之際強行把藥丸塞入我口，然後灌水。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UCZDIRGS3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQrcwZr7zk
我激烈掙扎，使勁推開他。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAFlvCXKXL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j4gqPt0XP
水杯脫手，著地，粉碎。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8O9g9rwlX
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gu64BGzja
我的理智也跟著粉碎。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy27sQ0idGK
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmToPFZoNQ7
我再次撲前將他壓倒地上，揮拳相向。他先是吃了兩拳，後來在幾下格擋之間已然找到亂拳套路，再來一個突擊重拳就將我打翻在地。我天旋地轉，短時間無法撐身子，只得繼續癱軟地上。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ke0uuCXJT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgVkeTp76c
他迅速走入主人房取東西，幾秒後出來，順道將藥瓶放到地面、我身邊。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuioep8iOd
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpOoLs4ADr
「要幫忙嗎？」踏出大門前，他回頭問。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0a3JOgWnL

「你走！」我怒吼。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHV45ppxxz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6CW8jOX4j
他沒回話，利落轉身離開。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQbK53KiD
我瑟縮被窩，激動不已。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDMhhajCDB
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEEFIapvM8
怎麼我這樣窩囊？怎麼我連一拳亦受不了？我是女人，卻非弱質纖纖惹人憐愛那類型。皮膚黝黑，體型高大，聲線低沉，講話中氣十足。若把長髮剪短，不認識我的人必會誤以為我是大漢。平日行為粗野，怎麼在關鍵時刻變得如此脆弱？我生自己的氣……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVNKjWgvoD

咯——咯——敲門聲。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRzdgOW2BL

「囡呀！」是爸爸。他不是晚上回家嗎？怎麼提早回來？「我買了你最喜歡的椰汁紫米露！快來吃！」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMvETjfOYQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ACJa6oia
「不了。沒胃口。」我左頰瘀青，不敢被他看見，免他擔心。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBRThrnWD
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogxHqUMjd6
「別生氣吧！是你揮拳在先，阿亮僅是自衛反……」爸爸向來好脾氣，但我真沒料到他得悉女兒被打時還是如此菩薩心腸。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkmoj1BeYf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZZrbMVhz8
「你知道事情全部真相嗎？別聽信人家片面之詞就妄下判斷！」我氣得揚被落床衝前開門大吼。反正爸爸已然知道我的狀況，我也不必強撐謊稱自己安好無恙。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeuGNGD1K9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsK4Hbhf7o
「阿亮沒需要隱瞞。」爸爸依然慘被蒙在鼓裡卻一副了然於胸的模樣，氣得我牙癢癢同時欲言又止——我實在不希望他感覺受傷。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToAE0eSdmf
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPF4bQkewk
我強抑怒火，乖乖到飯廳吃糖水去。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsaVo5sWYp
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoqBpRtuRz
飯廳寧靜得陌生。一枱之隔，七百毫米距離。我倆之間，盡是秘密與誤會。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB2AzVEuIa
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GKOamo1vW
我首次覺得秘密與誤會好東西，不明真相是幸福。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cHMYKRnDQ

「我之後會向阿亮道歉。」我說，心甘情願地。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRk5ibGwpQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZSZZWPOxn
爸爸先是一愣，然後找來遙控器略為調高電視聲量，舒緩緊張氣氛。劇集角色正在飯枱邊閒話家常，稱讚湯水美味，說長子完成學業打算回港就業，提及祖母近來身體欠佳……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lZbRlBI98
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WE5U4EOZK
「囡呀。」爸爸一口氣清掉碗中蕃薯糖水。眼神淡然，神情嚴肅，當中不協調令我倍感不安。「我不介意媽媽與阿亮的關係。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTL8DceX1
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumbJG3Nbyu
我拿著湯匙的手應聲凝在半空。幾粒位處匙沿的紫米連帶椰汁滑落碗中，與碗中母體融合如一，無分你我他。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi37YubVswN
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8eMddKjyV
「哈！」我蔑笑，笑自己多管閒事：「你不介意與別人共享妻子？」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y2CoeG2iR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5xbfPnVd
「不愛了。她不愛我，我不愛她。所以不介意。」爸爸從膠袋拿出第二碗蕃薯糖水，低頭繼續吃。聽說爸爸媽媽以前都愛吃蕃薯糖水。不過後來媽媽口味變了，喜歡新式水果甜品，對蕃薯糖水不再感興趣。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyPtNExrT
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8qvnFjZ0J
「『不愛』就離婚。未離婚就不該與別人發展關係。」我的笑容更深更冷。我不是真的想笑，奈何我必須竭盡全力去穩定情緒、保持理智，無法分神去處理表情。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9xrdWPbx
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOc16AXtl3
「我們是不會離婚的。」爸爸找不到牙籤剔牙，乾脆動用食指：「一把年紀，無謂生事。與其花時間辦離婚，倒不如釣魚或吃糖水，更快樂。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVeNmW3uht
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6lPGzwOjd
「我不明白……」我不明白何以爸爸花了大半輩子在這個家庭、這個女人身上，如今竟可如此豁達面對背叛。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I7aCalgg6
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ykBvcdm3T
「因為你年紀尚輕。」爸爸似乎估計到我會說甚麼，搶先回答，順利終結話題。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjZk42Xqlf
又一個假日，我再次去到阿亮住所門前。毫不猶豫按下門鈴。應門的阿亮呆住兩秒，回神後以手勢示意我內進。他從廚房拿來一罐汽水。我沒有接下，轉身坐在近門的一張扶手椅。他沒趣地將汽水放在茶几上。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiy7flbHFi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W3aLr75IP
「來尋仇？」他調侃，右嘴角微微上揚，態度輕佻。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Fv8kipJ9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKi6VzmQ9j
「立即離開我媽！我會給你三十萬！」我開門見山。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2gtDX9SqI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PUmOVzgPb
「不是我不願離開她，是她不願離開我！」他失聲大笑：「你勸她離開我就可以。當然——我是不會退回一分一毫的。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWVt1RYGh4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41HvtHnxJ0
我上前摑他一記耳光。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1rnVXEFVP
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8XpYOnThZ
他不把我的巴掌當作一回事，繼續笑：「你爸你媽比你聰明多了——他們從未對此事認真。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2n6gtMlvI
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5i2OHXV8o
我滿腦子問號，沒有即時反駁。若說爸爸從未對此事認真，我明白。但他說媽媽同樣不曾認真，我不認同，甚至為他對我媽的否定感到氣憤：「她真金白銀花了二十多萬在你身上，怎會不曾認真？」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9G5mTZTL
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrarkT8P3Mz
「即便我們沒有重遇，只消她在同樣時間點遇上另一個滿嘴甜言蜜語的男人，這二十多萬肯定同樣會被花掉。」阿亮拿起茶几上的汽水，拉環，喝，吐氣，一臉舒爽。「人生在世，每天辛勤工作賺錢，就是想要活得快樂。你媽想要快樂，湊巧遇上一個能令她快樂的人。一拍即合。她願意付款買快樂，對方願意收錢賣快樂。你情我願，簡單易明，不是嗎？」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWzRr2bBi
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQ7EW2F2F
「這不是你情我願！這是欺騙！你在騙財騙情！」我對阿亮的歪理感到不耐煩，乾脆拿出支票簿寫銀碼。「三十萬，給你的！立即離開我媽！」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohr8u3ybUR
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4wj6sS9Pw
他接下支票，單指輕彈。啪啪兩聲，輕、短、弱。苦笑：「這是你用多少青春換來的？」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskeniJQSiV
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuoKJF6dd2
聞言，我心不期然緊揪。我學歷不高，收入微薄，唯有靠節衣縮食積累財富。不為甚麼，只因認命——我這質素的女生該不會找到伴侶，晚年生活只得依靠自己……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJVUcgCwdz
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz8AlsR2y6
「有興趣花在我身上嗎？」阿亮在我出神之際不著聲色繞到扶手椅後，雙手搭在我肩溫柔按摩起來。手溫暖和，手勢純熟，力度得宜。連夜加班的我肩頸劇痛得以舒緩。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DzE61rxc3
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7lxHpi24
我激動得無法動彈，因為我開始明白阿亮悉才的一番話。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlBY9SnjS4
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOcjtbcbSP
阿亮適時彎身從後趨近我耳，以氣音細語：「你值得快樂。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlS4T8wSB9
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyAUg8x6Ku
我失控掩臉痛哭。阿亮環臂擁抱我。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU2cP5KHDG
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNWRxUFil8
我知道必須推開他！我命令自己推開他、掌摑他、搥打他……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxDEj4zAQ
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHrHWGroy
「乖！放鬆！」阿亮無視我的亂拳，溫柔為我拭淚：「別難過，你值得快樂。」330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQvT6nmJA0
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCElpYtuh5H
手腳忽爾酥軟，內心忽爾安寧。似乎找到安頓內心之處——不是阿亮這個人，而是這份溫柔細心與甜蜜呵哄。330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4kjabY658
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nTfjG5Sfl
「乖……」阿亮的臉逐漸趨近。雙眸多麼明亮，皮膚多麼細滑，雙唇多麼柔軟，舌頭多麼靈巧……330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZbV9am029
