He met her on a party, she was so outstanding, many guys were
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 as he was 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 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 liked playing in
the
sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, salty and bite, 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 homesick, he must be a man who loves home,
cares about home, has responsibility of home.. Then she also
started to speak, spoke about her far away hometown, her childhood,
her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning
of their story.
They continued to date. She found 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 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, I 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.
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL YOU KNOW THE PERSON MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE ...
BUT
ONLY TO REALIZE THAT YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE PERSON WERE NOT AS
YOU
DESCRIBED.
JUST LIKE THE INCIDENT OF THE SALTY COFFEE ... LOVE MORE AND
HATE
LESSER .. CAUSE' SOMETIMES SALT TASTES BETTER THAN SUGAR
...
