Ca: Un dia de primavera, el Parc de la Ciutadella brillava amb colors vius.
En: One spring day, the Parc de la Ciutadella shone with bright colors.
Ca: El sol escalfava les gespes, les fonts decoratives lluïen i l'olor de flors fresques omplia l'aire.
En: The sun warmed the lawns, the decorative fountains gleamed, and the smell of fresh flowers filled the air.
Ca: Marta, amb el seu cap ple de plans organitzats, havia preparat un pícnic perfecte per a ella i per a Oriol.
En: Marta, with her head full of organized plans, had prepared a perfect picnic for herself and Oriol.
Ca: Marta havia portat una manta de quadres, entrepans, fruita fresca i fins i tot uns sucs naturals.
En: Marta had brought a checkered blanket, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and even some natural juices.
Ca: Tot estava impecable, tal com ella ho volia.
En: Everything was impeccable, just as she wanted it.
Ca: Oriol, en canvi, era més relaxat, però amagat sota el seu somriure, una inquietud el rosegava.
En: Oriol, on the other hand, was more relaxed, but hiding under his smile, an anxiety gnawed at him.
Ca: Hi havia alguna cosa que volia parlar amb Marta, un tema pendent que feia massa temps que evitaven.
En: There was something he wanted to talk to Marta about, a pending issue that they had avoided for too long.
Ca: Mentre gaudien del merescut descans, el cel, de cop, es va tornar gris i un tro va ressonar al lluny.
En: As they enjoyed their well-deserved rest, the sky suddenly turned gray and thunder rumbled in the distance.
Ca: Peu en peu, les gotes de pluja van començar a caure.
En: Bit by bit, the raindrops began to fall.
Ca: Marta, amb el cor en puny, va agafar la manta i va córrer cap a un pavelló proper.
En: Marta, with a sinking heart, grabbed the blanket and ran to a nearby pavilion.
Ca: Afortunadament, Oriol la va seguir ràpidament, amb el menjar protegint-se sota la seva camisa.
En: Fortunately, Oriol quickly followed, protecting the food under his shirt.
Ca: Sota el pavelló, la pluja repicava amb suavitat però constància.
En: Under the pavilion, the rain pattered softly but steadily.
Ca: Marta estava contrariat.
En: Marta was upset.
Ca: El seu pícnic, els seus plans... Tot perdut.
En: Her picnic, her plans... All lost.
Ca: Oriol, mirant les gotes que queien amb regularitat quasi hipnòtica, va saber que era el moment.
En: Oriol, watching the drops fall with an almost hypnotic regularity, knew it was the moment.
Ca: "Marta," va començar, amb la veu baixa però decidida, "hem de parlar del que va passar."
En: "Marta," he began, with a low but determined voice, "we need to talk about what happened."
Ca: Marta va inspirar profundament, notant la tensió a l'aire.
En: Marta took a deep breath, feeling the tension in the air.
Ca: Sabia a què es referia.
En: She knew what he was referring to.
Ca: Fa unes setmanes, una discussió havia deixat una escletxa entre ells.
En: A few weeks ago, an argument had left a rift between them.
Ca: Cada un tenia la seva perspectiva.
En: Each had their own perspective.
Ca: "Vaig sentir que no em vas escoltar, que no enteníem el que importava," va confessar Oriol.
En: "I felt that you didn't listen to me, that we didn't understand what mattered," Oriol confessed.
Ca: Marta va mirar-lo, sorpresa per la sinceritat.
En:...
