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 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 butshe 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 sal t 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***w hat 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.
love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive
not 2 crazy but 2 understand
not 2 hear but 2 listen
not 2 let go but HOLD ON
