Salt
One day, a Man met a lady 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, and 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, and 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 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.
Pass this 2 everyone coz
love is not 2 forget
but 2 forgive
not 2 c but understand
not 2 hear but 2 listen
not 2 let go but HOLD ON !!!!
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends
with a tear.
"The
glory of Success is in bouncing high every time you
hit
the bottom!!"
“Love
is not selfish so Love is not being happy it is to make happy whom you love even
if you are unhappy with it.”
