An amazing Love Story 


He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after

her, while he 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'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 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 e, 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 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.
