He
met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after
her,
while he 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 like 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 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 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
faraway 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 e, 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 2 understand, not 2 hear
but
2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!
BABY I LOVE YOU ♥
