It was his first date with the girl in a coffee shop. He was very nervous to even say a word. Suddenly he asked the waiter: “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.” She raised her eyebrows, so strange! His face changed colors, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
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”.
Her eyes filled with tears. She was deeply touched by that story and eventually married this young man later on.
After 40, long and years, he passed away, but before he did he left her a letter:
“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 drowned the letter in tears…
Few years later someone asked her: what’s the taste of salty coffee?
“It’s sweet.” She replied.
