~ The 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 to be polite, she
accepted his invitation.
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 like playing in the sea, I could felt
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 will think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I
miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who still
living there. 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 homesick, he must be a man
loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of
home..
Then she also started to talk, talked about her
faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was
a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of
their story.
They continue to date. She found actually he was a man
who meets all her demands: he was tolerance, kind
hearted, warm, careful...he was such a good guy 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.
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's hard for me to change so
I just go 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 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 as my whole life
wife, 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.
No matter how hard the road might get...walk...never give up.....
