Coffee shops also serve to organize meetings and to tell stories, tales and anecdotes. Next, I am going to tell you one that more than a fictional anecdote is all real, and I have never seen something that has failed and that failure has been the greatest joy for a person. Without further ado, here I tell you this anecdote:
Two months ago we were in a villa with some friends and, among them was a couple with whom we have strong ties of friendship. In that village there are four cafeterias and we were able to go to three of them.
In each of these places we had a great time and, between coffee, beers and other drinks we told each other several things that happened in our lives, but this was the best anecdote of all.
It happened that Rafael had made an appointment for a coffee shop with a suitor he had. But the girl never showed up. According to what he said, he was very upset by that absence until suddenly a light illuminated his soul and a look lit up his heart.
It turns out that the person who provoked those feelings in him was having a coffee and suddenly their eyes met and their paths were joined forever because they have been married for 30 years and from that marriage two daughters were born who have given him two granddaughters.
According to my friend Rafael, this has been one of his greatest joys and he has never been so happy to have been stood up on a date.
For his wife Aracelis, life wanted her to be in that place having a cup of coffee and eating a little piece of candy because the owner of the cafeteria she used to go to had not been able to go that day.
It really left us speechless and we were happy for both of them and for the beautiful family that was formed from this misunderstanding.
