Salty Coffee
He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many
guys chasing after
her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to
him. At the end
of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him,
she was
surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They
sat in a nice
coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she
felt
uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.
Suddenly he asked
the waiter: "would you please give me some salt? I'd
like to put it in
my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned
red, but, still, he
put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him
curiously, why
you have this hobby? He replied "when I was a little
boy, I was living
near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel
the taste of
the sea,
just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every
time I have the salty
coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my
home town, I miss
my home town so much, I miss my parents who are still
living there".
While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was
deeply touched.
That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart.
A man who can tell
out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home,
cares about
home,has responsibility of home. Then she also started
to
speak, spoke about her far away hometown, her
childhood, her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful
beginning of their story.
They continued to date. She found that actually he was
a man who meets
all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted,
warm, careful. He
was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty
coffee!
Then the story was just like every beautiful love
story, the princess
married to the prince, then they were living the happy
life...
And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some
salt in the
coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it. After
40 years, he
passed away, left her a letter, which said: "My
dearest, please
forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the
only lie I said to
you---the salty coffee.
Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at
that time,
actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt it was
hard for me to
change so I just went ahead. I never thought that
could be the
start of our communication!
I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life,
but I was too afraid
to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for
anything.. Now I'm
dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I
don't like the salty
coffee, what a strange bad taste. But I have had the
salty coffee for my
whole life! since I knew you, I never feel sorry for
anything I do for
you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my
whole life. If I
can live for the second time, still want to know you
and have you for my
whole life, even though I have to drink the salty
coffee again".
Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday,
someone asked her:
what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet.
She replied. love is not 2 forget
but 2 forgive
not 2 c but understand
not 2 hear but 2 listen
not 2 let go but HOLD ON !!!!
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends
with a tear. A
real friend expects to always be there for you!
