“What about your promises to me?” She had reminded her husband of their vows.
“Love, let me fulfill the promise to my Motherland this time, for yours I have six more lifetimes’, he had smiled and left for his greatest battle.
She recalled expressionlessly and bowed to accept the gallantry medal from the President.

too cliched…bollywood style..be more innovative dude
Dhiman: ABC! You know the idea struck me when I used to see parents/wives collecting medal from President on Republic Day would stand without any expression as if the medal was burden ….. and here we were to write something about love in 55-words …..and Bollywood sometimes is very original you see
May 31, 2010 @ 23:55:03
hi abc, soldiers exist in real life too. they too have a wife and mother back home whom they love truly. cliched is a bit harsh term.
Dhiman: Thanks Neha for clarifying the exact idea behind the post!
May 31, 2010 @ 17:01:07

Conveying a sentiment in so few words is difficult.
But i think you did a good job. the sentiments and emotions are so real.People who have families in the forces, know this feeling all too well.
good stuff Dhiman.
