..
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 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, 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.
Pass this 2 everyone coz
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.
"The glory of Success is in bouncing high every time you
hit the bottom!!"
“Love is not selfish so Love is not being happy it is to make happy whom you love even if you are unhappy with it.”
