He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, beautiful and cool, many guys chasing after her, while he is 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 would like to put in my in 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 coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my Home so much, I miss my parents who are still living there. While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
That's is 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, hads responsibility of home, Then she also started to speak, spoke about her far away home town, her childhood, family.
That was really a nice talk and also a beginning of the beautiful love story.
They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he has tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but almost missed him! Thanks to his salt coffee!
The love story was just like every beautiful 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, 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 changes 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 am too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie for anything...Now i am dying, I am 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 the 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 salt coffee again.
Her tears made the the letter totally wet. 'Some day someone asked her: what's the taste of salt coffee? It's sweet. She replied.
