Adey told the clerk that she was going back to her hometown for a week. The reason is that the business of coffee shops is relatively deserted. It seemed normal to her clerks, and she did every summer. Just a little bit of not understanding, a feminine and measured woman has always been single.
In fact, Adele has no shortage of men's pursuits. Only a few people in the know know that Adey returned to her hometown to visit her husband's grave.
Not long after Adey and her husband married, her husband was conscripted into the army and participated in World War II. Since then, Adele has been looking forward to her husband's return every day. One summer day 16 years ago, Adele received a notice of her husband's death. After that, Adey had to go back to live for a few days at this time of year. For 16 years, she did not believe that her husband was dead, she thought, the deceased always has a relic, and the husband did not leave any relics, she will wait for his husband to return. From the age of 22 to the age of 38, I did not wait for my husband.
Look at yourself no longer young. She thought: Her husband is really dead. I went back this time to say goodbye to the past, and when I came back, I married the man who chased me.
She was going to start a new life. And, good things are always more grinding.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" >1 You pass by my coffee house and sing songs that no one else understands</h1>
Who knows, these days suddenly a wandering man broke her plan.
Incredibly, like a set clock, every day from morning to night, he walked past the door of her coffee house three times and sang a song that outsiders could not understand. Sometimes, when a man passes by the window, he will subconsciously slow down.
At first, no one cared about the wandering man, just as beggars often passed by in front of the restaurant. You can't stand three round trips a day. More times, it caught Adele's attention.
For some reason, as soon as she heard the song in the morning, Adele woke up on time. She looked at him quietly. I saw him carrying a torn bag, his clothes were old, but clean, and his behavior was decent. She saw a familiar shadow in the wanderer. The problem is that the memory of the husband is tall and tall, and there is a gap between the two. And he wears a hat that makes it impossible to see the facial features.
It's just that she can't imagine that war can destroy all the good, and it is not only the appearance but also the heart that changes.
To confirm their judgment. She asked the clerk to beckon the stray men to come to the store to drink water, and she made further careful confirmations next to her. She decided that he was the husband she had been waiting for for years.
Next, she ran to the man, brushed her hair with her hand to expose her face to the man, and three times in a row, the man ignored and walked around. She was disappointed, and it seemed that men didn't remember her. To men, she is a stranger.
The furthest distance between husband and wife is that I stand in front of you, and you and I are passers-by. Disappointed, she cried. Now he had become her living husband.
Then, the man came every three to five minutes, or did he walk through the fixed point and time. No matter how the man ignores himself, and Adele thinks that he is his husband, but when she thinks of her husband's behavior, she wonders: Why doesn't he recognize himself? Thinking of your 16 years of waiting, you paid for it wrong?
At this time, someone reminded Adele, "The man has lost his memory." ”
< h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > 2 Husband has amnesia? </h1>
For several days, Adele followed the man. During the day, men go around picking up garbage to sell for money, and then buying something to eat and drink. At this time, the man will give some of the things he bought to Ade, just not talk to Adele.
At night, men slept in abandoned houses with no doors or windows. Adele did not return to the café, just sat in the doorway and looked at him sadly. The thought of men living such a life brought tears of anguish. After a few days together, men began to communicate with her. She invited the man to dinner at her café, and the man agreed.
Next, Adey arranged a room in the coffee shop to resemble the way they lived, trying to evoke the man's memory.
The man said he just remembered his own fields and trees, nothing else.
Adele did not give up and continued to ask. The man said, "I can't remember having a wife." It was like a knife stuck in her heart.
Did the husband really lose his memory? I learned from my husband that he had also been in Nazi concentration camps....
Speaking of Nazi concentration camps in World War II, they were called "death factories."
The famous psychologist Frankl, who survived world war II from concentration camps, has been called a miracle of the 20th century. He said in "Living the Meaning of Life" that survivors who have entered concentration camps have suffered not only physical damage, but also mental damage. What really crushed them was the disillusionment of the heartache and ideal situation after returning to the original normal life.
Like Adele's man, he escaped death by chance, thinking of his wife who was waiting for him to come home. When he traveled day and night, he returned to his hometown at the speed of flight, but did not see Adele's appearance. When he was sure that Adele was still alive, he thought Adele was married! He broke down!
Of course, he didn't say that to Adele. He concluded, "I can't even remember my own name."
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >3 You see me whenever you turn around</h1>
Adele did not believe the man's words. If a man forgets himself, why would he show up in front of his coffee shop on time every day, and the song he sings is only understood by Adele.
Adele said, "You have a wife, you're pretending to be crazy and stupid." ”
Yes, having gone through all sorts of tribulations on both sides, why insist on shutting out all this beauty? They had been waiting for 16 years, but now they were turning each other away.
In fact, happiness is really not difficult, as long as you turn around and turn around, you can get it. And the man was gone.
Adele was crazy. She ran all the way and shouted the man's name, causing everyone present to shout for her.
The man cried. Perhaps, he regretted his foolishness. Perhaps, happiness came beyond expectations. He was convinced, though, that Adele had been waiting for him.
This is the story in "The Long Parting".
