去年，那是一个雨夜，我在国道上拦了一辆车回重庆，现在回想一下，那应该是辆很破的老式客车，车子很空，在车子的最后一排坐着一位少女，她旁边有一排空座。 我走过去问她：“这个位子我可以坐吗?” 她微笑的点了点头，她很美，美得有点让人惊讶，她穿着一条素色的长裙，出于一种男人的本性，于是我便和她聊了起来。我和她聊了一些我的往事。

她听的很入神，讲到情深之处她还有一些感触。接着她的话匣子也打开了。她说：“我今年22岁，小时候很苦，在我五岁生日那天，爸爸突然走到我面前对我说，明天妈妈就会离开我们叫我千万不要伤心。那时我还小，并没有在意。第二天早上醒来，我听到妈妈过世的噩耗，我用一种诧异的神看着爸爸，他只是对我苦苦地笑。就这样爸爸、我和弟弟三人又过了几年，在我十岁生日那天晚上爸爸泪流满面的对我说：“明天弟弟也要离开我们了”。I ask, “Brother where are you going?” Dad said: “Brother is going to mom.” That time I also didn't understand.

Again after a day, my brother mysteriously left this world, I felt fear and went to find dad. He looked at me with a cold gaze without saying anything. After these few years, I lived well but on my 15th birthday morning, dad prepared everything in the house for me as if it was my last birthday. In the evening he suddenly told me: "Tomorrow dad will leave you too." He handed over an envelope to me and said: "Open it when you're 20 years old; everything will be clear then." I was scared because I thought what dad said might all be true. And indeed, one day later, he really left me and they found his body by the river.

She continued talking about her past hardships until she met someone named Arkan who she loved deeply. They lived together for a year before Arkan disappeared without a trace leaving her heartbroken. She waited till she turned 20 when she opened the letter left by her father which revealed that Arkan would leave her after two years but he could never be found again.

I heard this story while sitting in that broken-down bus on a rainy night wondering why no one had come to buy tickets from us yet or even noticed our presence among them as we were shrouded in darkness under heavy raindrops outside our windowsill of reality...
