Once upon a time, in a not very distance past, in a god knows where land, there is this guy. He is very shy. He wont even dare to talk to his neighbour whom he spend his last 20 years of life with. Well everyone will fall in love eventually and he did during one of his class reunion party. There is this girl who stun him so much that he couldnt take his eyes off her. Of course, a shy person like him wouldnt dare to speak with her but remember, love makes everything possible.
At the end of the party, upon his friends encouragement, he muster every ounce of courage he has in his body and step right up to talk to her. Knowing that he will not be able to make a long comfortable conversation there, he ask her out to a cup of coffee at starbuck that night. The girl accepted due to manners and they went to a nearby starbuck outlet.
When they reach there, they took a conner table and sat down. Eventhough he knows that this might be his only chance to talk to her but he still couldnt find the correct topic to start with and the girl starting to look bored. So out of desperation, he ask the waiter to bring him some salt for his coffee. The girl fell strange and asked him why. Then he told her that his hometown is a town beside the sea. Every morning, his long lost mother will make a cup of coffee for his father and the coffee smelled so good that the whole house is fill with the aroma. Then when he opens the window, the smell of the sea breeze will flow into the house and mix with the coffee aroma. That is why he add salt into his coffee so that the coffee will smell like the air in his hometown.
The girl was so touched by his story. They begin to chat about their childhood and hobbies and finally, they exchanged number. Soon, the guy successfully captured the girls heart and became a couple. After 3 years of happy dates, they decided to get marry and a grand ceremony was held for them.
50 years had passed and this couple had a very meaningful and happy life. Every morning, the girl will add salt into his coffee and that continue since their marriage. Then one day, this guy fell sick and god was opening His gate for him. So before he die, he told his wife who was beside him all the time about a lie he told her 50 years ago. He said that on the night where they had their first coffee, he accidentally told the waiter to bring him salt instead of sugar and when that action sparked a conversation, he had to seize that chance and talk to her. He told her that the taste of a salted coffee is so weird and he had to suffer that kind of taste for 50 years but he never regretted it. He asked for forgiveness from his wife but his wife just cry and kiss him on his lips like she never kiss him before. Then with a calm and free-of-problem face, he died. After his death, his wife would still continue to put salt in a cup of coffee for his husband to remember the beautiful lie that he made to get her.
