An amazing Love Story

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many
guys chasing after her, while he 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,
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 in his coffee and
drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this
hobby? He replied: "when I was a  little boy, I was
living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I
could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste
of the salty coffee. Now every time 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 that 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 missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love
story , the princess married to the prince, then they
were living the happy life… And, every time she made
coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffeee, 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 lie. This was the only lie I said to
you—the salty coffee. Remember the  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 times 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 afraid of nothing so I tell you the
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. Someday,
someone asked her: what’s the taste of salty coffee?
It’s sweet. She replied.

Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2
understand, not 2 hear but 2 listen, not 2 let go but
2 HOLD ON !!!!

Don’t ever leave the one you love for the one you
like, because the one you like will leave you for the
one they love.

Waktu engkau masih kanak-kanak..
kau laksana kawan sejatiku..
Dengan wudu’, Aku kau sentuh..
Dalam keadaan suci, Aku kau pegang..
Aku,kau junjung dan kau pelajari..
Aku engkau baca dengan suara lirih atau pun
keras setiap hari..
Setelah selesai engkau menciumku mesra..

Sekarang engkau telah dewasa..
Nampaknya kau sudah tak berminat lagi padaku…
Apakah Aku bahan bacaan usang yang tinggal sejarah…?
Menurutmu, mungkin aku bahan bacaan yang
tidak menambah pengetahuanmu..
Atau, menurutmu aku hanya untuk anak kecil
yang belajar mengaji..
Sekarang, Aku tersimpan rapi sekali..
Sehingga engkau lupa di mana Aku tersimpan..
Aku sudah engkau anggap hanya sebagai pengisi stormu..

Kadang kala Aku dijadikan mas kawin agar
engkau dianggap bertaqwa..
Atau Aku kau buat penangkal untuk menakuti iblis dan syaitan..
Kini Aku lebih banyak tersingkir, dibiarkan dalam
kesendirian , kesepian..
Di dalam almari, di dalam laci, aku engkau pendamkan..
Dulu…pagi-pagi…surah-surah yang ada padaku
engkau baca beberapa halaman..
Di waktupetang, Aku kau baca beramai-ramai
bersama temanmu di surau…..

Sekarang…seawal pagi sambil minum kopi…
Engkau baca surat khabar dahulu..
Waktu lapang engkau membaca buku karangan manusia..
Sedangkan Aku yang berisi ayat-ayat yang datang
dari Allah Azzawajalla..
Engkau engkau abaikan dan engkau lupakan…

Waktu berangkat kerja pun kadang engkau lupa
baca pembuka surah2ku(Bismillah)..
Di dalam perjalanan engkau lebih asyik menikmati muzik duniawi..
Tidak ada kaset yang berisi ayat Allah yang
terdapat di dalam keretamu..
Sepanjang perjalanan,radiomu selalu tertuju ke
stesyen radio kesukaanmu..
Mengasyikkan..

Di meja kerjamu tidak ada Aku untuk kau baca
sebelum kau mulai kerja..
Di Komputermu pun kau putar muzik favoritemu..
Jarang sekali engkau putar ayat-ayatku..
E-mail temanmu yang ada ayat-ayatku pun kau abaikan..
Engkau terlalu sibuk dengan urusan dunia mu ..
Benarlah dugaanku bahawa engkau kini sudah ..
benar-benar hampir melupaiku..

Bila malam tiba engkau tahan bersekang mata..
berjam-jam di depan TV..
Menonton siaran televisyen..
Di depan komputer berjam-jam engkau boleh duduk..
Hanya sekedar membaca berita murahan dan gambar sampah..
Waktupun cepat berlalu………
Aku semakin kusam dalam laci-laci mu..
Mengumpul debu atau mungkin dimakan hama..

Seingatku, hanya awal Ramadhan engkau membacaku kembali ..
Itupun hanya beberapa lembar dariku..
Dengan suara dan lafadz yang tidak semerdu dulu..
Engkaupun kini terangkak-rangkak ketika membacaku..
Atau waktu kematian saudara atau taulan mu..

Bila engkau di kubur sendirian menunggu sampai kiamat tiba..
Engkau akan diperiksa oleh para malaikat suruhanNya..
Apakah TV, radio ,hiburan atau komputer dapat menolong kamu?
Yang pasti ayat-ayat Allah s.w.t yang ada padaku menolong mu..
Itu janji Tuhanmu, Allah s.w.t..

Sekarang engkau begitu enteng membuang waktumu…
Setiap saat berlalu…
Dan akhirnya…..
kubur yang setia menunggu mu…
Engkau pasti kembali, kembali kepada Tuhanmu..

Jika Aku engkau baca selalu dan engkau hayati…
Di kuburmu nanti….
Aku akan datang sebagai pemuda gagah nan tampan..
Yang akan membantu engkau membela diri..
Dalam perjalanan ke alam akhirat..
Dan Akulah "Al-Qur’an",kitab sucimu ..
Yang senantiasa setia menemani dan melindungimu..

Peganglah Aku kembali.. ..
Bacalah aku kembali aku setiap hari..
Karena ayat-ayat yang ada padaku adalah ayat-ayat suci.
Yang berasal dari Allah Azzawajalla..
Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Pemurah..
Yang disampaikan oleh Jibril melalui Rasulmu..
Keluarkanlah segera Aku dari almari, lacimu..
Letakkan aku selalu di depan meja kerjamu..
Agar engkau senantiasa tenang & sejahtera..

aku punya teman
teman sepermainan
dimana ada dia selalu ada aku

dia memang manis
dan juga baik hati
dan dia slalu ada waktu
untuk membantuku

namun aku bingung
ketika dia bilang cinta
dan dia juga katakan
tuk ingin jadi kekasihku

cukuplah saja berteman denganku
janganlah kau meminta lebih
kutak mungkin mencintaimu
kita berteman saja
teman tapi mesra

aku memang suka pada dirimu
namun aku ada yang punya
lebih baik kita berteman
kita berteman saja
teman tapi mesra

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
It’s compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door’s always open
You can come anytime you want

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
