Chapter 18

The man had already prepared his few remaining possessions. Bo had told him that the cart was ready to go, including supplies for two weeks' travel, individual tents and sleeping bag. Their canteens should be replenished with water on the way but there would be no shortage of pure liquid. Ivo was looking for excuses to delay the instant he did not want to face, his separation of Lian. Finally the girl appeared in the yurt door but still hesitated leaving the hut. Her face was emaciated and it was clear she had been crying.

Resigned Ivo approached her and together they entered the hut. The embrace was tight, prolonged and silent. All the memories of the short stay together ran through their minds and the young man did not dare to break the silence.

"Now go away." The woman's tone was hopeless, but it was obvious that she had already made up her mind not to prolong the farewell that would only add to the grief.
