感人的情人節故事

今早讀報,被一則故事深深打動,聯想到前幾天的 有關非常恩愛的夫妻一文,浮想聯翩。匆匆摘譯如下:

這個故事起始於 1957 年。

現年 77 歲的陳運通(譯音)當時在香港的一家船運公司工作,在那兒,他認識了給老板做秘書的印度姑娘卡提瑪,倆人一見鍾情。不過,他們都很含蓄,誰也沒有挑明。

某日,運通看報時發現有一部新電影剛上映,想去看,卡提瑪也想去。從那以後,他們常常約會了,不過也隻是喝喝咖啡什麽的,幾個月中,連手都沒有牽過。直到有一天,他們散步時路麵有些滑,她拽住了他的胳膊。

1959 年 3 月 11 日,他們結婚了。

婚後運通麵臨的最大困難是妻子的宗教信仰:他不能不吃豬肉!“天天除了牛肉或雞肉就沒有別的了。”他有些受不了。

因為某次手術的後遺症,她一直無法懷孕,所以他們也沒有孩子。兩口子花了很多時間旅遊:歐洲去了三次、台灣、日本、新加坡、韓國……,加拿大也來了三次,他想來此定居,她卻不願意:“太冷了”,習慣了亞熱帶氣候的她怎麽能忍受加拿大的冬天? 1986 年他們參觀了溫哥華的世博會之後,她的態度轉變了, 1988 年,兩口子定居加拿大。

日子平平淡淡地過著,他的英文不太好,話也不多。她總是稱呼他“ Silly man ”,看得出,他們彼此的心裏都裝著對方。

不幸的是,卡提瑪的心髒卻越來越弱,她住院了。每天清晨,他從城的一頭坐早班車來到另一頭的醫院看望妻子,晚上趕末班車回家。在最後的兩個星期裏,醫院允許他睡在病房裏另一張空床上陪伴妻子。他曾這樣問她:“你恨我嗎?”她搖搖頭。“那你愛我嗎?”她點點頭。

她知道她的日子不多了,她對他說,穆斯林在親人死亡時是不哭的。他說他做不到。 2001 年 10 月 6 號,他握著她的手,她永遠的離開了他。

從此之後,每天早上他五點一刻起床,七點半準時搭公共汽車去墓地,有時會帶上一朵康乃馨——“她喜歡康乃馨”,他說。這樣七、八年如一日,今天已經是第兩千六百八十天了,除了他生病或公車停駛,風雨無阻。

自從妻子去世後,他的家再沒有走進過一個女人,他一個人的時候,常常會想起她。“我看電視的時候,會聞到她用的香水的氣味。”他說。在墓地裏,他也會感受到她的氣息。一位常在墓地裏遛狗的人說,曾經看到有一個女人站在這位老先生身後。

“這塊地方是我的。”他指著墓地裏一塊空地說。是的,有一天,他會又和她在一起的。

真誠的愛是永恒的。情人節快樂!

What an emotional aricle! I believe that the woman behind him that day at the grave was her, his wife! That's exactly the kind of LOVE I hope to experience one day also! If only we all could be so lucky! Charyl

Our house faced the grave yard and every morning we would see him pass by and we became friends and we always waved and would talk for a few minutes...his devotion to his wife is just incredible....and sometimes he is a little slower or a little later especially when the bus is late due to bad weather. If I was going somewhere and the weather was bad would offer him a ride home and hopefully someone else will do the same...he is a very sweet man.

Love like this is so genuine. It has withstood the fickleness of young love and carries on through the aging of the body, sickness and so much loss. It is the way we all want to be loved. My Granny just passed away this September and he and my Grandpa would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this year! My grandpa was her first love as a very young woman. He misses her and loves her just like the man from this story and it breaks my heart.

What a wonderful couple. My parents have been married over 60 years and they still hold hands! I have never heard them argue or raise their voices at each other. They as well, have a true love!!!

Oh boy. I haven't even finished my morning coffee yet and you got me crying.....
