+++ A Taste Of Love +++
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 agreed. They sat in a nice coffee
shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable.
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
salty coffee.
Now every time I have the salty coffee, I will think of my childhood,
think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are
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 he's homesick, he must be a man who loves
home, cares about home, has responsibility of home..
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 continued to date. She found actually he was a man who meets all
her demands: he was tolerant, kind hearted, warm, careful...he was such a
good guy.
They got married and 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.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my for my 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. I didn't want to hurt you..Now I'm dying, I am afraid of nothing.....
so I tell you the truth:
I never liked the salty coffee,
what a strange bad taste..but I have the salty coffee for my whole life.
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 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? She replied. It's sweet.
