Suspended Coffee Will Warm You Better
Hello!
Miss me? No? Okay, moving on. Come up with new story that I want to tell you about coffee. Ain't nobody like coffee unless you are a hardworking or workaholic person, and yes you should continue reading this.
This story will warm you better than a coffee in a cold winter day:
"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter -
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended'
They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend:
'What are those 'suspended' coffees?'
'Wait for it and you will see'
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four 'suspended'.
While I still wonder what's the deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'

At this point, I also start wondering, what is suspended coffee or we call it as 'kopi tergantung' in Bahasa? Huh? Please people, avoid direct translating or you will ruin your grammar and your whole life.

Now you understand? In this term of 'suspended coffee', it means a free coffee that you pay for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The richer you are, the more suspended coffee you can make. And this will bring a little joy for the homeless, mostly. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal."
Simple thing, biggest deed.
