Titi

He met her at 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 to her self, "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 tin his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously, "why you have this hobby?"
He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea,just like teh taste of the salty coffee. Now everytime 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 the 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 miss him! Thanks to his salty coffee!
Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, then thay were living the happy life...And, everytime she made coffee for him, she put some salt in this 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's lie. this was the only lie I said to you - teh salty coffee.
remember tehe 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 time 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'm afraid of nothing so I tell you teh 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.
Some day, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?"

She replied, "It's sweet".
