I don't know why he loved coffee and cake so much, but whenever I asked him what he was doing, his answer would be, "I'm drinking coffee and eating cake." I don't know why chocolate cake and hot coffee were so special to him. He used to say that when I take a delicious piece of cake, I feel as if all the happiness in the world has entered my mouth. Moreover, when I drink hot coffee, the smell of chocolate refreshes me......!!
I'm a tea lover and had no connection to coffee whatsoever, but his words, his passion for coffee and cake, or perhaps my silent love for him, drew me to cake and coffee, and I thought, why not try chocolate cake and hot coffee today and see how much fun it is? My wish is that with a small effort, I fall in love with a good friend and take him from friendship to life partner.
Today I was going to take a step forward and sit with him and experience the joy he brings. I would enjoy cake and coffee with him. I arranged beautiful roses in the quietest part of my house. The whole house was filled with the fragrance of roses, and I waited for him to arrive. I told him I wanted to meet him, and he smiled and said, "Yes, I want to talk to you too." His smile raised my hopes even more. This man was very special to me. In a crowd of millions, he was the only person I expected to hold my hand. I had chosen this day with great courage, and my wait was about to end. The doorbell rang, and the smile on my face grew even stronger. I stood on the threshold of both love and friendship. I opened the door and found him in front of me. The scent of roses, chocolate cake, and hot coffee filled the room. Amidst all this, I could feel his perfume, very close to me. There was a smile on his face. He asked me, "What do you want to say?" Before I could say anything, he said, "Let it go. I just want to talk to you." My smile faltered, as if he hadn't noticed anything around him. He hadn't seen the bouquets, he hadn't seen the chocolate cake, he hadn't seen the hot coffee. In fact, he hadn't seen anything at all, and he simply told me he was in love. He simply said he was going to be with someone. He said just that, and I stared at him silently. I just stared at him. It felt like I couldn't understand or feel anything. I just stared at him. Then suddenly, his eyes landed on the chocolate cake. He asked me, "Who is all this for?" and I had no answer. Then what? I just asked him about his story. I wished him all the best and kept looking at him. He smiled and said he didn't have much time. He would be leaving soon. After saying his piece, he asked me how I was doing. He put his hand on my head and looked at me with a smile. He walked away and said, "See you later." And I stood there, looking at him. That was the first time I thought about chocolate cake and hot coffee, and the last time too. I don't know if chocolate cake and hot coffee are a part of good memories or bad ones for me, but whenever I see someone making a combination of chocolate cake and hot coffee, I remember them.........!!
Sometimes people play a role in our lives for a very short time. It happens, but those roles are very difficult to forget......!!
