红玫瑰是她的最爱,她的名字叫罗丝,也是“玫瑰”的意思。每年情人节,丈夫都要送她用漂亮的丝带扎好的玫瑰花。丈夫去世的那年,她依然收到了玫瑰花,卡片像往年一样写着:“献给我的爱人!”
每年,丈夫送她花时,都要写下这样一些话:“我爱你,今朝更胜往昔。”“时光流转,我对你的爱历久弥新。”她知道,这是她最后一次收到丈夫的玫瑰花了。
她想,玫瑰花一定是他提前预订的。她亲爱的丈夫并不知道,自己将会死去。他总喜欢提前把一些事情安排妥当,这样,即使再忙,他也可以从容应对,处理好一切。
她修剪好枝叶,将花插到一个别致的花瓶里。然后,把花瓶放到面带微笑的丈夫的遗像旁。她会坐在丈夫最喜欢的椅子里,一坐就是几个小时,伴着玫瑰花,凝神地望着他的照片。
一年过去了,没有丈夫的日子十分难捱。在孤独与寂寞中,她又迎来另一个情人节。情人节前夕,一如即往,家里门铃响了,有人送来一束玫瑰花,放在了门口。
她把玫瑰花拿进屋,吃惊地看着它们。然后走到电话旁,拨通了花店的电话,是店主接的,她要他解释为什么还有人送花给她,徒增她的悲伤。
“我知道您的丈夫一年前就过世了,”店主说,“我也知道您会打电话来问究竟的。您今天收到的花,也是他提前付过款的。您丈夫总是提前准备好一切,以求万无一失。”
