Chap 1: Salty Coffee[Adapted from smwhr]

It was early 1930s, a man went into a coffee cafe for his matchmaking session. His parents wanted him to marry a good wife, settle down and start a family. He looked around, the person he was suppose to meet wasn't here yet. She was suppose to be wearing white but one glance across the cafe, there was no one wearing white. He himself is wearing a black gloomy coat that blended in perfectly with the cafe.

He checked his watch, she should be here by now. The door opened with a jingle and she walked in. She wasn't a supermodel, she was more or less a plain Jane but somehow there was something in that plainess that captivated him so much that it was love at first sight. He invited her to seat at his table and then for the first time in his all of his matchmaking sessions he really felt nervous, how would he break the ice? She looked at him and gave a rather forced smile. Not too good a first impression he gave her. He cursed himself, why did he have to wear black? Her white dress together with her purity seemed to have brighten up the entire cafe. He pinched himself, he needed to break the ice right now or he will lose her. Suddenly, he took a bottle of salt and added it to his coffee.

For a moment she thought he was crazy but then he looked at her and smiled. He said,"My hometown is near the sea. Thus whenever I go to the cafe and drink coffee, the sea breeze there will always bring salt into my coffee. As a result, I became accustomed to drinking salty coffee. So wherever I go, I will always put salt into my coffee because this reminds me of my hometown." Surprised at what he said, she thought he was a rather faithful person and decided to give him a chance.

So from there the two of them developed their relationship and finally, they got married. In a blink of an eye, 40 years have passed, 40 years of happiness as husband and wife. Time took its toll on the man and he left the world, leaving behind the plain Jane he met in a cafe who had become the woman of his life. Sad? Of course she was sad. He wrote her a letter just before he died, he said in the letter, "Please forgive me, I lied to you for the past 40 years. My hometown is not by the sea and I hate salty coffee." She read his last letter and cried. He told a lie to break the ice between them, to change her impression of him. Yet that very same lie led to them having 40 years of happiness. She forgive him. She went on to set up a small cafe right by the seaside and named it after her husband. It was a simple lie, a beautiful lie.

Since writing post is so boring, I will introduce from tdy onwards my very own "Short Stories Series Haha" or SSSH for short. Lol ok then basically whenever i feel like it i just post a short story lor, the story can be based on a real life happening or it can be purely fantasy lol....but basically it is just to entertain lor....hmm i m not sure but maybe smtimes the stories will have a moral behind so wadever lah.

Prologue..

Who am I? I am not Spiderman, I am Barman, just a regular bartender at a regular bar. A man walks into the bar, he flashes his platinium card, then throws it in my face. I do not have spidey senses so i can't really dodge it so the card hits my face before falling to the table. I can't shoot webs so I can't win this rather big sized guy. Thus I suppress my rage, just relax, I told myself. The guy orders beers for all of his friends, then they drank. The bill came out, only a mere 200 plus dollars, no where enough to exceed the credit of his near unlimited credit card. I took his card and swipe, I got an 'error' on the screen. I tried it a few more times and it returned the same error. I checked the error code and it says it is due to the card has been deactivated by the bank. I went back to break the news to the guy and his friends. He was in an outrage, shouting at me saying that is impossible, but I had already checked with the bank and confirmed that. He was about to start shouting again when I said, "Sir, next time please do not throw your card. See you throw then the money all gone." He turned red and stormed out of the bar. His friends had no choice but to pay the bill themselves. Lucky for me, none of them have a platinium card to throw at me. [p.s: V tired so never check for grammer....happy reading lol]
