THE DROP

Note. Part 3 to 5

On a cold, chilly evening both of them were sitting on a bench, in a park, talking nonchalantly*
She – I’m dying in this cold, look at my hands, they’ve turned white. They’re so numb, I can’t feel a thing.
He – Okay, let me grab them
*He clasps her hands in his palms*
She – What a f**k is this ? Why are you touch my hand?butYour hands are warm, this feels good. How did you manage to keep them warm when it is so cold.
He – Well I never took them out of my jacket. I knew you would be cold so I kept my hands warm for you
She – Do you know what warm hands signify? They signify loyalty.
He – I didn’t know that. Now you’re making things up.
She – No, I’m not, it’s not my fault that you don’t read many books.
He – All right.
*A year later as he sat on the same bench, alone, reminiscing the moment, He remembered how right she was. Warm hands did signify loyalty, and her hands were cold, so cold*

A guy name Aryan met a preety girl name Any at a fairwell. She was so outstanding, this sent many guys chasing after her, while he being average, nobody paid him attention.

At the end of the party, he finally summoned courage to invite the girl to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but out of politeness, she promised. They both sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, waiting for coffee..

She kept on thinking, “Please, let it get over soon…let me go home….” she finally said. The coffee was brought and suddenly, he asked the waiter. “Would you please get me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee!” Everyone at the shop 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 this unusual habit?” He took a couple of sips and replied, “When I was still a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea! I can still remember the taste of the sea..

This salty coffee…every time I drink it, I always think of my childhood days, think of my hometown… Oh no! I miss my hometown so much… I miss my parents who are still out there.” While saying this, tears filled his eyes.

The pretty girl was deeply touched. A man who can tell out his homesickness, must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Pretty soon, she also started to speak, she spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really great date, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

​

This new pair continued to date. She got to discover that actually, he was a man who met all her expectations: he was tolerant, kind hearted, warm, caring. He was such a good man and had it not been for the salt in the coffee, she’d never have really known him!

The rest of the story was just like any other beautiful love story: they finally got married, and they lived a very happy married life. And sure! every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, just the way he liked it! After 40 years of marital bliss, he died after a short illness. One day, she found a letter he had left for her: “My dearest, Please forgive me, but I lied to you.. Only once.. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous, I asked for salt instead of sugar! I was too embarrassesd to admit it, so I just went ahead. I never thought that could bring about such a frank and intimate conversation between the two of us!

Later, I tried to tell you the truth so many times but was afraid you’d think I was a liar and never again believe me … Now I’m dying, and am afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like salty coffee, as a matter of fact I hate it! What a strange bad taste.. But since you made it for me with so much love, I drank it all my life!

Please forgive me, darling.. for lying to you first in that Coffee Shop and then not telling you the truth everytime you made coffee for me! I am not lying now when I say, I couldn’t have that coffee any other way! – still madly in love with you”

If anybody ask her: “How did that salted coffee taste?” “It’s sweet.” She always replied.

Once there was a girl whose name was jane and she was really beautiful and attractive …
she studied in a school and one guy named jack started to love her..
he was afraid of telling this to her
but one day he got the guts to tell her so..
he was looking into her eyes he said, ” jane it’s been so many days I have been acting so weird with you “. you guys know the magical words… that he said to her.. tears fell from his eyes .. she said ” jack i always wanted this to happen this is what I have dreamed of my whole life”… every love story has twist guys this guy here never wanted to tell this to her love cause he knew that he was not having enough time…
1 MONTH WITH THIER RELATIONSHIP:
“Oh, please don’t go .. jack how will I live without you.. i never wanted this to happen!”
said jane..{ jack was suffering from a serious disease of heart he was just transferred to hospital after pain in his chest}
“i have always loved you… the only gift you gave to me was your care, love and kindness”
said jack they hugged each other last time
tears were falling from the eyes of both lovers
jane saw that the strength by which his ‘world’ was holding on to her went down.
3 MONTHS LATER…
” it’s autumn dear i bought you a sweater which I always knitted for you from the 1st time we met” said jane…❤️ love never died in her heart cause she knew that the love of jack for her was still present..
