Salty Coffee !

(an Email Fwd)

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys were chasing 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 just to be polite, she said Yes. They went to 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 started at him so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him what is this ? 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 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 this, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feelings 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! She also started to speak, spoke about her far-away 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 his prince, then they were living a happy life ! and every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in 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 Isaid to you ! The salty coffee !! Remember the first time we dated, I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted 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 Im dying, I afraid of nothing so I m telling you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee ! what a strange bad taste.. but I have had the salty coffee for 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 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... Somebody asked her: 'what's the taste of the salty coffee?

"Its sweet", she replied. ..
