The rain is over...
As well as a cup of coffee.
I desperately desire another cup of coffee to awaken in me the secrets of my life and the flaws of my groans and cries.
"Bring me a new cup of coffee," Hossam said to the café waiter, who was not very close to him.
"Sir, you drink a lot of coffee today! Why don't you have some green tea? We have the best types and flavours," said the waiter to Hussam, who replied somewhat sarcastically:
"I don't trust too much in tea! There are many colors and types and many different flavors"
"I trust coffee, brown in one color and without additives or flavors"
“Brown things are always glamorous, like coffee and chocolate, and that woman I love,” Hussam said with a sigh.
"What are you doing today, sir? I'm not feeling well, I see!" The waiter of the café said to Hussam and continued:
"I've known you for many years, a daily customer of a small café with a few patrons, you come early in the morning, you sit at the same table in this secluded corner, you write a few phrases on scraps of paper you take out of your pocket, you sip your coffee in a hurry, nobody speaks, you leave." The cafe after you leave on your table the price of your cup of coffee and a tempting tip.!"
Hossam interrupted him by saying:
"Don't finish! Everything you said is true!"
Hussam was silent for a moment, then continued:
"I am invited to a wedding this evening."
"It is an unusual wedding for me, the wedding of the girl I love and adore!"
“Destiny has spoken its word here and has imposed harshly on us a bitter, miserable reality.”
“Yes, she will marry today, and ironically, it will not be me who will marry him.”
"I'm invited to the party as a friend only."
Can you imagine how painful it is to change your role from lover to friend!! Hossam said and then tilted his head a little as if he wanted to put it on the table in front of him.
"But why? Why didn't you marry since you both love each other?" The waiter said to Hossam with some astonishment and amazement.
"Two things you can never trust: the weather and the promises of a beautiful woman!" Hossam replied as he looked at the cafe wall clock, which was pointing at midday.
"Will you attend her wedding today?" The waiter said.
"I don't know! I haven't decided yet!" Hossam replied and added by saying:
“There are decisions in our lives that we avoid only because we want to choose the easiest and least painful for us.”
Hossam looked at his coffee cup in front of him:
"How tender is coffee? When it offers us its spirit for the sake of our mood."
Hussam stood up, took out his wallet, picked up money from it, then put in the waiter's hand what pleases him and left the café.
He took his way in the crowded street, stopped suddenly in front of a flower shop, chose the most beautiful and most expensive, wrote the phrase (Congratulations) on a small card that was elegantly and beautifully attached to the flower bouquet, paid for it and then left..
"Sir, sir!" The owner of the flower shop called him..
"Please give us the address to which you would like us to send this bouquet of flowers"
Hussam took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down the intended address, then handed it to the man while saying:
"Send it two hours from now."
On that rainy evening, Hussam sat in his house alone, sipping his cup of coffee while looking at that beautiful bouquet of flowers in front of him.
We always need things that make life more beautiful, something like roses, like coffee, like love, like rain.
