TASTE OF SALTY COFFEE
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 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 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.

A SWEET LOVE STORY
From the very beginning, girl's family objected strongly on her dating this
guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the girl
will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.
Due to family's pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the girl
loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: "How deep is your love for me?"
As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very
upset. With that & the family's pressure, the gal often vents her anger on
him. As for him.. he only endured it in silence.
After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his
studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal: "I'm not very
good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take
care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk
them round. Will you marry me?"
The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in
& agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged.
The gal went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas,
continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls.
Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up.
One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a
car that lost control. when she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed.
She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum cry, she
wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her
mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her voice....
The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her
voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out
from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silent cry..
it's still just silent cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home,
everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone
which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the
guy know & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him
saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.
With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions &
millions of reply and countless phone calls.. all the gal could do besides
crying is still crying.... T! he parents decided to move away, hoping that she
could eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new
environment, the gal learnt sign language & started a new life.
Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend
came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know
what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.
A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation
card for the guy's wedding. The gal was shattered. When she
opened the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she was about
to ask her friend what was going on, she saw the guy standing in front of
her....
He used sign language to tell her, "I've spent a year to learn sign language.
Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let
me have the! chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he slipped
the ring back into her finger. The gal finally smiled......
Treat every relationship as if it's the last one, then you'll know how to give.
Treat every moment as if it's the last day, then you'll know how to Treasure.
Treasure what you have right now, or else you may regret one day...
