ladies, a beautiful story 2 end the working week (it's kinda long & i hope u hv time to fin reading it), have a great weekend ladies =)
Here goes: SALTY COFFEE
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, 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.
Love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see
but to
understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let
go but
to HOLD ON !!!!
Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you
like,
because the one you like will leave you for the one
they love.
Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you
are
in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you
of
how much he cares about you and how lucky he is
to
have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and
says, "...that's her."
