Salty Coffee-A Sweet Love Story








He met her on 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 politeness, she promised. They sat in nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she tought, 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 coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I will think of my childhood days, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents 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," she tought. 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 founds actually he was a man who meets all her demands: he was tolerance, kind hearted, warm, careful... and he was such a good guy 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, and they were living happily life.... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew 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 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.. Now I am dying and I am afraid of nothing, so I tell you the truth, I dont like salty coffee at all. What a strange bad taste? But I have the salty coffee for my whole life since I knew you. I never felt sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is the biggest happiness of my whole life.

If I can live for 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?

Its sweet. She replied.
