Ca: El matí de Sant Jordi a l'Eixample brillava amb una llum especial.
En: The morning of Sant Jordi in l'Eixample shone with a special light.

Ca: Els carrers estaven plens de parades de llibres i roses.
En: The streets were filled with stalls of books and roses.

Ca: A dins del cafè bulliciós, Oriol, Laia i Pau estaven asseguts a una taula, envoltats de l'aroma de cafès acabats de fer i de pastissos dolços.
En: Inside the bustling café, Oriol, Laia, and Pau were sitting at a table, surrounded by the aroma of freshly made coffees and sweet pastries.

Ca: Les grans finestres deixaven entrar el sol de primavera, il·luminant el lloc amb calidesa.
En: The large windows let in the spring sun, illuminating the place with warmth.

Ca: Oriol, amb la seva mirada perduda en un llibre, amagava l'angoixa que li corroïa per dins.
En: Oriol, with his gaze lost in a book, hid the anxiety that gnawed at him inside.

Ca: Esperava els resultats d'un test mèdic.
En: He was waiting for the results of a medical test.

Ca: Havia decidit no explicar res a Laia ni a Pau.
En: He had decided not to tell Laia or Pau.

Ca: Volia que aquest dia fos alegre, sense preocupacions.

Ca: Però al seu cor, la incertesa pesava com una pedra.
En: But in his heart, the uncertainty weighed like a stone.

Ca: Laia i Pau reien i xerraven, gaudint del dia de Sant Jordi.
En: Laia and Pau laughed and chatted, enjoying Sant Jordi's day.

Ca: Laia li va preguntar a Oriol quin era el seu llibre preferit.
En: Laia asked Oriol what his favorite book was.

Ca: Oriol va somriure amb dificultat i va respondre amb un títol clàssic, pensant en les històries que sempre li havien donat pau.
En: Oriol smiled with difficulty and responded with a classic title, thinking of the stories that had always given him peace.

Ca: Però el seu cap estava lluny d'allí, en un món de preocupacions i preguntes sense resposta.
En: But his mind was far from there, in a world of worries and unanswered questions.

Ca: De cop, el mòbil d'Oriol va vibrar.
En: Suddenly, Oriol's phone vibrated.

Ca: Era el missatge que tant temia.
En: It was the message he feared so much.

Ca: Els seus dits tremolaven lleugerament mentre l'obria.
En: His fingers trembled slightly as he opened it.

Ca: Pau i Laia van notar el canvi en el seu rostre, però no van dir res, esperant que ell parlés.
En: Pau and Laia noticed the change in his face, but said nothing, waiting for him to speak.

Ca: Oriol llegí el missatge amb rapidesa.
En: Oriol read the message quickly.

Ca: Una barreja d'alleujament i emoció li va omplir el cor.
En: A mix of relief and emotion filled his heart.

Ca: Els resultats eren bons.
En: The results were good.

Ca: Va respirar fondo, sentint com l'angoixa es fonia lentament.
En: He took a deep breath, feeling the anxiety slowly melt away.

Ca: Aleshores, agafà aire i va somriure sincerament als seus amics.
En: Then, he took a deep breath and sincerely smiled at his friends.

Ca: "No us ho havia dit, però estava esperant uns resultats mèdics", va confessar.
En: "I hadn't told you, but I was waiting for some medical results," he confessed.

Ca: "Estava espantat, però ara tot és clar.
En: "I was scared, but now everything is clear."
