Ca: El sol primaveral escalfava la gran casa familiar d'Arnau, plena de llum i colors.
En: The spring sun warmed Arnau's large family home, filled with light and colors.

Ca: Les flors del jardí feien olor dolça i els ocells cantaven amb alegria.
En: The garden flowers had a sweet scent, and the birds sang joyfully.

Ca: Les fulles noves dels arbres pintaven el paisatge de verd viu, senyal clar del retorn de la primavera.

Ca: Arnau mirava al seu voltant mentre els seus familiars xerraven i reien.
En: Arnau looked around while his family chatted and laughed.

Ca: La casa, tot i que una mica desgastada pel temps, encara irradiava una calor acollidora.
En: The house, although a bit worn by time, still radiated a cozy warmth.

Ca: Però, darrere dels somriures i les històries divertides, Arnau sentia una tensió amagada, una ombra en el passat familiar que havia percebut durant anys.
En: But behind the smiles and funny stories, Arnau felt a hidden tension, a shadow in the family's past that he had sensed for years.

Ca: Ell sabia que hi havia un secret, i aquesta vegada havia decidit descobrir-lo.
En: He knew there was a secret, and this time he had decided to uncover it.

Ca: La Laia, la seva mare, estava asseguda al costat d'ell, envoltada dels sons alegres de la reunió.
En: Laia, his mother, was sitting next to him, surrounded by the cheerful sounds of the gathering.

Ca: Arnau esperava un moment oportú per parlar amb ella.
En: Arnau waited for an opportune moment to speak with her.

Ca: No volia causar problemes, però necessitava saber la veritat.
En: He didn’t want to cause problems, but he needed to know the truth.

Ca: Mentre els altres familiars estaven distrets, Arnau va aprofitar un instant de calma al jardí.
En: While the other family members were distracted, Arnau took advantage of a calm moment in the garden.

Ca: Sota el til·ler florit, va trobar a la Laia sola, contemplant les flors de la primavera.
En: Underneath the blossoming lime tree, he found Laia alone, contemplating the spring flowers.

Ca: Es va apropar i va seure al seu costat, tranquil i decidit.
En: He approached and sat beside her, calm and determined.

Ca: "Laia, necessito saber alguna cosa", va dir Arnau amb sinceritat.
En: "Laia, I need to know something," Arnau said sincerely.

Ca: La Laia el va mirar, sabent que aquest moment havia de venir tard o d'hora.
En: Laia looked at him, knowing that this moment had to come sooner or later.

Ca: "Arnau, hi ha una part del nostre passat que hauríem d'haver compartit amb tu fa temps", va començar a dir la Laia amb veu suau.
En: "Arnau, there's a part of our past that we should have shared with you a long time ago," Laia began to say softly.

Ca: Ella li va explicar sobre Martí, un germà que havia estat adoptat abans que Arnau naixés.
En: She explained to him about Martí, a brother who had been adopted before Arnau was born.

Ca: Era un secret mantingut per protegir la pau familiar, una decisió presa amb dolor i amor alhora.
En: It was a secret kept to protect the family peace, a decision made with both pain and love.

Ca: Mentre escoltava, Arnau es va adonar que aquesta era la peça que faltava en el trencaclosques familiar.
