Part 3: Señales en el aire
A week of daily messages deepens Carmen and Miguel's connection. When Miguel mentions the jasmine on his balcony, Carmen freezes—she can see jasmine from her window.
Wednesday, 7:30 AM
☀️
good morning Carmen ☀️
😊
good morning Miguel 😊
did you sleep well?
very well
I dreamed that we were in an old bookstore
talking about books
💕
how cute 💕
I also thought about you last night
really?
yes
it's strange... I feel like I've known you for a long time
I feel that too!!
it's as if...
I don't know
as if we already knew each other
Thursday, 12:00 PM
Days went by. Carmen and Miguel talked every morning, every afternoon, every night. Their conversations became deeper...
can I ask you something personal?
of course
why are you alone?
you're intelligent, interesting...
thanks Carmen
my wife died four years ago
after that... I didn't look for anyone
until now
oh Miguel
I'm so sorry
my husband left me three years ago
for another younger woman
after that... I lost my confidence
he's an idiot Carmen
he lost something very valuable
thanks Miguel
it's been a long time since anyone has told me something like that
Friday, 19:00
I want to send you something
what is it?
a voice message
I want you to listen to my voice
😊
I would love to 😊
Carmen listened to the message three times. There was something in that voice... something familiar. Something that touched her heart in a way she couldn't explain.
your voice is...
I don't know how to explain it
it's as if I had heard it before
your voice also sounds familiar to me
how strange all this is
Saturday, 11:00 AM
The weekend arrived. Carmen and Miguel continued talking, sharing more of their lives...
today I'm going to cook paella
it's my favorite dish for Saturday
oh how delicious
I also make paella on Saturdays sometimes
😊
another thing in common 😊
I have a special recipe
from my Valencian grandmother
the secret is the saffron and the texture of the rice
I would love to try it someday
I would like to cook for you Carmen
maybe soon we can meet in person
I would like that very much
the paella is ready now
I'm going to eat on the balcony
it's a beautiful day
how nice
yes, I love my balcony
it has a lot of light
and on the wall a jasmine plant grows
I don't know where it came from
but the smell is beautiful
Carmen stopped breathing for a second. Jasmine. On the balcony wall. She also saw jasmine from her window. On the building wall. Right between her apartment and...
jasmine?
yes
it grows wild all over the wall
my neighbor complains sometimes about the smell
she says it's very strong at night
but I am not going to cut the plant
it is part of nature
Carmen got up and walked to her window. She looked toward the side wall of the building. There it was. The jasmine plant. Growing right on the wall between her apartment... and 4B.
your neighbor complains of the jasmine?
🙄
yes 🙄
everything bothers her
she is a very difficult woman
I understand
Carmen sat on the sofa. Her hands were shaking a little. No. It couldn't be. It was just a coincidence. Many jasmine plants grow in Madrid. Many men cook paella on Saturdays. It was... it was impossible.
are you okay?
yes yes
forgive me
my daughter called me
well, I'm going to eat before it gets cold
😊
talk later? 😊
yes of course
enjoy your meal Miguel

16:00 - Carmen and Lucía
what's up mom?
the man from the app
yes?? what happened?
he said something about a jasmine plant
on the wall of his balcony
and?
Lucía I see jasmine from my window
on the side wall
the one that is between my apartment and the neighbor's
mom...
it's just a coincidence
he also cooks paella on Saturdays
his neighbor complains of the jasmine
I complained about the jasmine two weeks ago
mom wait
my match is the neighbor from 4B
right?
...
mom let me explain to you
I can't believe it
him
HIM
Carmen closed the app and stared out the window. On the other side of that wall, Miguel was finishing his paella, unaware that his perfect match had just discovered the truth. That Carmen, the woman he talked to every day, was the neighbor he called 'impossible'. And that everything... absolutely everything... was about to change.
