An unusual coffee experience
There are many stories that I can remember around a cup of coffee. Let me tell you...
Once my father had a knee problem, so bad that he had to undergo surgery to implant a prosthesis. These are moments in which nerves do not give truce and uneasiness takes hold of you. While he was in the operating room I went to the clinic's coffee shop, nothing better to calm the nerves than a good hot black coffee. Almost all the tables were occupied, there was only one table left where a young woman was sitting.
I approached her table and asked if she could share it with me. She very kindly said yes. I ordered my coffee and sat down. In that place they didn't hand out the familiar little bags of sugar, but on each table there was a glass jar with the white grains in it.
Everything was going very well until I tried to grab the jar to pour the sugar. At that moment I made some clumsy move and knocked the jar over near the young woman's coffee cup. As a result, small drops splashed on the table and almost stained her clothes. I took a napkin and was ready to wipe up what I had spilled. But to my surprise the young woman stopped my hand and with a big smile on her lips she took the napkin and wiped the table...
I told her that I had my father in surgery and I was a little nervous. She replied that she was also a little worried since her mother was undergoing surgery for a coronary problem. We started talking about our parents' health problems and then continued the conversation to more personal matters.
As we talked, she let me know that she was in a bit of a hurry because she had to take a cab to buy some supplies her mother needed. I offered to give her a ride because I had nothing to do at the clinic anyway. We made a long trip to several places until she managed to get what she needed. During that long drive we continued talking and I found out that she was a teacher just like me. We returned to the clinic and said goodbye. At that time there was no cell phone so I had no chance of finding out how to contact her again.
My father did very well with the operation and the next day he was discharged. Her mother had to stay a few more days because her case was more delicate. We said goodbye without knowing if we would ever see each other again...
A few years later I decided to start my master's degree in education. To my surprise one night I met her in one of the courses, we were now fellow students. As we already knew each other, we decided to team up and during the whole time that the master's degree lasted, Manuela, as her name was, and I became good friends...
I will tell you that that friendship did not go any further, because although she was single, I was not. I was already married and had two children...
Manuela and I have achieved a very special friendship that has been maintained over the years. Both my wife and my children have a special affection for her. She was married for a while but in the end decided to leave the relationship. During those years she did not have a good time and we always agreed to meet somewhere to talk about her problems over a cup of coffee.
Sometimes we remember that day at the clinic when, thanks to a clumsy movement of my hand, we got to know each other. Both Manuela and I thank life for putting us together that day. A coincidence that has allowed us to have a great friendship.
Thank you for your time.

How beautiful it is to establish relationships that last, when this happens, I think that "destiny" puts us in the path of these people, because with them we are going to make our lives better.
Greetings and have a great day. 🙂
It's nice when you can make friends anywhere. Coffee always brings us closer to people. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting dear @damarysvibra . Be well. A big hug.

But your story was so good that I will make an exception on this occasion, ONLY!
Excuse me my dear friend @millycf1976. I read about the word limit after I had written the story. I will be more careful next time. Thank you very much for your understanding. Be well. A big hug from Maracay.
This was probably the most hilarious comment I have read all day! You guys do love creativity hehe!
@irvinc, very cool story indeed! The way a simple cup of coffee creates bonds we never expected is something very warming indeed!
The truth is that the commentary is very creative, not to be forgotten.
Coffee connects a lot of people, it is a drink that I associate with friendship. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting. Be well dear @simplifylife . A big hug from Maracay.
An unusual, but very nice story, so you can see that not only happens in tnt also happens in real life XD, I enjoyed reading a lot, this publication is fantastic and the nicest thing is that despite the passage of time are still there for each other, I do not want to throw spoiler for other people to read it and enjoy it as much as I did.
Yes, it happens in real life too, hahaha. Life always manages to leave us good surprises. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting. Be well dear @eollarvesm . A big hug from Maracay.

Greetings dear friend, what a great story some say that destiny has mysterious ways of bringing people together, in this case using the magic of coffee something made you sit at that table and share with that special person who at that moment gave you the support you needed and you her, who knew you would find her again years later in a classroom, I hope you enjoyed your friendship with manuela very much. I hope you enjoy your friendship with Manuela very much.
Many times in my life I have had these kinds of coincidences and I have been able to count on many people who have given me selfless support. Life has really been generous with me, for which I am grateful every day. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting dear @susurrodmisterio . Be well. A big hug from Maracay.
What a way to start a friendship, I'm glad both the surgeries and the coffee accident went well. 😁
If they had served coffee in bags we might not have met. Everything comes together to make things happen in the best way. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting, dear @lisrl26 . Be well. A big hug from Maracay.
This usually happens when we meet like-minded people with whom we have a conversation and with whom we become close friends.
A hug friend @irvinc
It is true my dear @mafalda2018 . Maybe with another person I would not have had the same result, maybe the famous law of attraction worked. Thank you very much for stopping by and commenting. Be well. A big hug from Maracay.

An excellent story about a cup of coffee. Sharing time over a cup of coffee is an excellent way to open the door to a future friendship and, in any case, to have a good time.
Thanks for sharing your very well narrated story @irvinc
