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
as he was 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 back 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, salty and bite, 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 hometown, I miss my hometown 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 hisheart. A man who can
tell
out his homesick, 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 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'm afraid of nothing so I tell you
the
truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste. But
I have
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, I 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.
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL YOU KNOW THE PERSON MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE ...
BUT ONLY
TO REALISE THAT YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE PERSON WERE NOT AS YOU
DESCRIBED.
JUST LIKE THE INCIDENT OF THE SALTY COFFEE ... LOVE MORE AND HATE
LESSER
... CAUSE' SOMETIMES SALT TASTES BETTER THAN SUGAR ...
