The train pulled into the station at 6 P.M and knowing he had only a few hours before he had to catch the 1 A.M train back to the post. Sahil hurried to Piyali. After the usual warm greeting, they sat on Piyali's swing and held hands.

"Piyali, if I didn't have you, I'd have to spend my nights on the post and I'd go mad".

Piyali leaned over and kissed him. "Well, you have me and you always will."

Sahil smiled and kissed her on the cheek "Piyali...Piyali, the Army is sending me to Germany in a week. I'll be gone for twenty months."

Piyali asked in astonishment. "Twenty months? We won't see each other for twenty months? Sahil, I'll miss you so much." she said looking at him through the tear-filled eyes.......

"Please, don't cry, Piyali," he said hugging her. "Look, I have six day's leave, so I don't have to report for my flight until next Saturday. We'll spend every minute together," he said as he wiped her tears away.

The six days passed quickly, and Sahil left Piyali promising that the twenty months would fly by, and before she knew it they would be together again.

The twenty months did pass quickly, and when Sahil returned, he and Piyali spent every weekend and most nights together for two months, and Piyali was happy. However, her happiness was not long lived. When September came, Sahil went to a college and worked two jobs. Because he was so busy, he could only get away two or three times a week to see her. After a while, the number of visits dwindled to two or three a month.......
