Tini's pov

*As soon as I got out, I felt my mother embracing me. I am really back. One part of me is happy but the other one stayed with Jorge. Tears of happiness and sadness were rolling down my cheeks.*

Tm: My daughter. You are back!

F: Tell me, where were you?

T: I was... in 1958.

Td: Really? My first invention that works! But we better turn it off and leave it here. I don't want to lose anyone again.

Tm: Let's go to the kitchen. I will make tea and we can talk about everything

*They headed to the kitchen, waiting for me to go after them. But my legs were so weak. I couldn't think straight. I can't believe I left Jorge there. Just like that. I did manage to get up after a while, joining my family over warm tea. The tea our...no... Jorge's place was better. My parents asked a lot of questions but I couldn't focus on any of them. My mind was full of Jorge, Cande, Rugge and Alba. How can I be in touch with them? I want to see them again... wait. They should be alive now too! Without further thought I stood up and ran to the door, hearing everyone screaming after me*

All: Where are you going??

T: Fresh air! I will be back soon!

*I sat in my car and tried to remember any adress. Jorge's house was... um... what was it again... uh... I can't remember. Ruggero and Cande moved to a new house though... I remember them telling me the adress...*

T: Yes! I remember now!

*Driving out of the neighbourhood, my excitement grew every meter I drove. When I arrived at the house, I knocked on the door, hoping for my expectations to come true. An old lady opened and I recognised her immediately. She was also touched by seeing me at her door. With no more hesitation we hugged each other.*

T: Cande!

C: Tini... you came to see us...

*I stepped in and went to the living room where Ruggero was sitting. He couldn't believe his eyes*

R: Tini!

T: Hi! How are you?

R: We are fine, thank you! You haven'f aged at all!

T: I see you are still as funny as before. It must have been such a long time for you. I haven't seen you for a few hours and already missed you so much.

C: You never left our minds. We had a good life thanks to you too

T: I want to ask you. What happened after I left?

*They looked at each other, none of them wanting to talk. This isn't going well*

R: Terrible.

T: What?

C: Well, me and Ruggero moved to this house and Alba got married to Facundo

T: That is amazing! There is nothing bad about that

R: But Jorge.

*My heart sinked at the mention of Jorge. I can see where this is going but I am not ready to hear it out loud.*

T: ... what... what happened?

*Ruggero took a deep breath, avoiding my gaze. His wrinkles and glasses couldn't hide that he was about to tear up.*

R: Nobody believed Diego that he found someome from the future. People made fun of him and it was even on the TV. Two days after you left, Diego lured Jorge out and stabbed him to death. We didn't know that Jorge went out and got hurt. He wanted to be alone for a while because he was heartbroken. And this is what it led to. Diego said that it was a revenge. He was imprisoned a few days after the incident.

T: Jorge... isn't alive...

C: I'm sorry

*I felt tears falling down on my palms. Tini, calm down. Tini, you aren't feeling well, calm down. Then I felt my legs giving in and the floor flying up to catch me.*
