The station master was holding a sign of departure and the departure warning was sounding. A young soldier in his uniform was ready to depart. He had a backpack and rifle on his back and a pistol at his waist. He was standing on the platform with a girl. They gazed at each other; neither of them could break away. Putting both his arms on her shoulders, he looked deep into her eyes. His gaze penetrated her heart deeply. At that moment, the girl felt and knew that she would not see him again. This was a farewell. He would never come back.
