UFO: Sweet and Sour

He sat there in the same old coffee shop they used to go. Tears made the letter in his hand totally wet, leaving nothing special in his face except those sliver hairs and glittering eyes. He closed his tired eyes and went back in time forty years ago when they first met.He met her at this coffee shop. She was standing there in the corner, hiding from the lights. He approached her, invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised but after one deep look at his eyes, she accepted. She was too nervous to say anything. She felt uncomfortable and thought to herself "please, let me go home…".Suddenly, she asked the waiter "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.". Everybody stared at her. So Strange!. Her face turned red but still, she put the salt in her coffee and drank it. He asked her curiously "Why you have this hobby?" and she replied with a look of embarrassment "When I was a little girl, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea in my mouth,just like the taste of salty coffee,everytime I drink it, I always think of my childhood, my hometown and my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled her eyes.

He was deeply touched and he started to speak, he spoke about his faraway hometown and his childhood too.They continued to date. She found him a man who meets all her needs, kind hearted, careful and warm. Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince and then they were living a happy harmonious life.

And every time he made her coffee, he put some salt in it as he knew that's the way she liked it."WHAT CAN I GET YOU, SIR?" the voice of the waiter brought him back to where he is, still the letter in his trembling hands, with the image of his beautiful wife dancing slowly in his head, but she's not here anymore.

She passed away few days ago, leaving him with a letter that said:"My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This is the only lie I said to you; The Salty Coffee. Remember the first time we met? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar but I said Salt instead!! It was embarrassing for me to change what I said so I wanted ahead. I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid. I don’t like the salty coffee BUT I have had the salty coffee for my whole life. Since I knew you, I never felt sorry for anything I do for you. And having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life and if I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you as my everlasting husband, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."He wiped the tears from his eyes, turned to the waiter with a smile on his face and said " Salty Coffee, please".

The waiter looked at him with astonishment all around his face and said "Excuse me Sir, but, what's the taste of salty coffee?". He replied "It is Sweet" .
