AN UNFORGETTABLE LOVE STORY

He met her on a party. She was outstanding, many guys
chased her,
while he was so normal, and 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 or 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 understand
not 2 hear but 2 listen
