心之憾(小小說)
文/黃清寶
一
下午上班的時(shí)候,云好幾次站到窗前,看外面的天。云的病房在八樓,遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的只看見五顏六色的傘慢悠悠地飄來飄去。地上依然濕漉漉的,泛看白光。云不由得輕嘆一聲;這雨,怎么下個(gè)不停?
云的丈夫出差半個(gè)月,今晚就要回家。丈夫離家的日子,云一人帶著兒子,每天象上緊了發(fā)條的機(jī)器人一般忙個(gè)不停,這才感到這些年來丈夫任勞任怨,操持家務(wù)是多么不容易。在外人眼里,云精明能干,是個(gè)好護(hù)士長,云卻明白在家里,自己遠(yuǎn)不是個(gè)賢妻良母。云于是決定今天一定準(zhǔn)時(shí)下班,回家做幾只丈夫愛吃的菜,也好讓這些天來吃厭了泡飯,快餐面的兒子高興高興。
二
臨下班的時(shí)候,病房里來了個(gè)新病員,因車禍造成腦部外傷。病人神志不清,極度煩躁,病情十分危急。中班的護(hù)士是個(gè)新手,見此情景有些慌亂。云不假思索一頭扎進(jìn)了搶救病房……
時(shí)間一分一秒地過去。更衣,補(bǔ)液,吸痰,導(dǎo)尿,抽血化驗(yàn)……經(jīng)過一系列緊張的搶救治療,病人的病情漸趨平穩(wěn),云才松了一口氣。病人家屬端來一盆熱水,云親手為病人擦凈滿頭滿臉的血污。又向值班護(hù)士細(xì)細(xì)交待一番,云才放心地離開病房。
外面,早已是萬家燈火。
三
一頭撞進(jìn)夜色中,冰涼的雨灑在頭上臉上,云才發(fā)現(xiàn)自己又忘了帶傘,也才想起自己本來要為丈夫和兒子弄幾個(gè)菜的。使勁地晃了幾下腦袋心里說:罷罷罷,本來就不是個(gè)好主婦!
云遙遙望見自己家窗口的燈光,仿佛看見燈下丈夫和兒子枯坐的身影,心里便充滿了歉疚。數(shù)不清有多少次的遲歸,丈夫在等待中把涼了的菜,熱了一遍又一遍;兒子坐在飯桌前,在一連串的希望和失望之后,昏昏欲睡……每次這種時(shí)候,云的鼻子就酸酸的,好想流淚。
四
云剛爬上四樓,就聽見兒子開門的聲音,抬頭看去,見高高大大的丈夫和瘦瘦小小的兒子一并擠在門口。
“媽媽,快點(diǎn)!我都快餓昏了?!?/p>
兒子搶過云手里的包,一邊喊一邊往房間里跑。丈夫卻遞過來一條毛巾:
“瞧你,滿臉的水,擦擦!”
越過丈夫的肩頭,云看見餐桌上滿桌的菜還冒著熱氣。抬眼望向丈夫,想說點(diǎn)什么,丈夫的眼神充滿愛意,云真的哭了。
