Jig really wasn't quite right and she was aware of this.

She was aware that despite the fact that he had


proposed to have the baby he really did not want that, he did not want anyone to come between the
two of them; she knew he was afraid someone would show up to whom she could spend more time.

She watched he walking away to the other tracks carrying the two suitcases in his hands, Jig had a
moment of imagination. She began to imagine how everything would be if the situation were different
and how everything would be with the arrival of that baby. She imagined that magical moment in which
she would carry her own baby in her arms for the first time, she imagined also her baby and was
imagining it so beautiful that not even she realized that the tears had come out. She imagined life from
that moment and how happy she and the love of her life could become, how much that baby would
change their lives and in some way or another that baby would finally give a meaning to their lives It
would be the reason why they would be forced to fight for everything without anyone being able to stop
them. Unfortunately all this was only happening in her imagination because Jig knew that she and he did
not share the same thoughts. Without realizing his gaze had become sad, but she thought it was time to
be strong and return to the ground, because life there was quite difficult.

She took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away the tears. Just then she saw that he was three
steps away from her. And then he asked her:

“Are you sure that do you feel better? I see you very sad.”

“Yes, we have to do the right thing so that both of us are well” answered the girl avoiding the boy's gaze.

“I want you to think about it, I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do” the boy repeated.

The girl said nothing, because she had already thought about this topic and was aware that it was the
best thing she could do given the situation even if everything was falling apart inside her.

“Do you want us to get closer to the tracks? I'm watching the train arrive” the boy said.

"Yes, let's go," said the girl, and at the same time looking back, leaving everything she had thought for a
few minutes in the chair of that bar.
The train arrived at the station. People who had to catch the train to Madrid had five minutes to board.
As she got on the train, Jig did her best to forget what she had imagined for such a short time and how
happy she had been during that moment. They looked for their seats and once they were found she sat
looking out into the field where once more hills appeared to her like white elephants. Seeing how
everything was moving, she realized that they had already left the train station behind and that from
that moment her life would change forever.
