A Barcelona, la primavera omplia els carrers amb el seu color i alegria.
In Barcelona, the spring filled the streets with its color and joy.
Al Museu d'Art, la llum del sol entrava pels grans finestrals, creant patrons de llum i ombres sobre el terra de marbre.
At the Museu d'Art, the sunlight entered through the large windows, creating patterns of light and shadows on the marble floor.
El museu estava ple d'amants de l'art que contemplaven les obres mestres.
The museum was full of art lovers who were admiring the masterpieces.
En Oriol, un apassionat de l'art, deambulava pel museu amb un objectiu especial.
Oriol, a passionate art lover, was wandering through the museum with a special objective.
Volia trobar el regal perfecte per a la seva amiga, la Clara.
He wanted to find the perfect gift for his friend, Clara.
Feia temps que se sentia atret per ella, però mai havia trobat el valor per expressar els seus veritables sentiments.
He had long been attracted to her but had never found the courage to express his true feelings.
Llavors va pensar que, potser, un regal ben escollit podria ser la forma d'iniciar una conversa més personal.
Then he thought that maybe a well-chosen gift could be the way to start a more personal conversation.
Després de recórrer diverses sales, Oriol va entrar a la botiga del museu.
After going through several rooms, Oriol entered the museum shop.
Les prestatgeries estaven plenes de prints artístics, llibres i records que celebraven el patrimoni artístic de Barcelona.
The shelves were full of artistic prints, books, and souvenirs celebrating the artistic heritage of Barcelona.
En Oriol examinava els prints, intentant imaginar quin podria agradar més a la Clara.
Oriol was examining the prints, trying to imagine which one would please Clara the most.
Però la varietat el desconcertava i temia equivocar-se.
But the variety overwhelmed him, and he feared making the wrong choice.
Al seu costat, l'Adrià, el seu amic de confiança, feia broma sobre la dificultat de trobar el regal adequat.
Beside him, Adrià, his trusted friend, jokingly commented on the difficulty of finding the right gift.
"Què tal si compres alguna cosa de Gaudí? És un clàssic!"
"How about buying something by Gaudí? It's a classic!"
Però Oriol sabia que volia alguna cosa més especial, una cosa que mostrés les seves veritables emocions.
But Oriol knew he wanted something more special, something that showed his true emotions.
En aquell moment, va recordar una conversa amb la Clara mentre passejaven pel Parc de la Ciutadella.
At that moment, he remembered a conversation with Clara while they were walking in the Parc de la Ciutadella.
Ella li havia parlat del seu interès per l'art modern i de com li agradaven les obres atrevides i innovadores.
She had talked about her interest in modern art and how she liked bold and innovative works.
Aquell record li va donar una idea.
That memory gave him an idea.
Finalment, els seus ulls es van detenir en un print modern, ple de colors vius i formes peculiars.
Finally, his eyes stopped on a modern print, full of vibrant colors and peculiar shapes.
Era arriscat, però li va recordar aquella conversa especial amb la Clara.
It was risky, but it reminded him of that special conversation with Clara.
Decidit, va agafar el print i el va portar a la caixa.
Decided, he picked up the print and took it to the checkout.
L'endemà, es van trobar al parc i Oriol li va lliurar el regal.
The next day, they met at the park, and Oriol handed her the gift.
Clara va somriure, sorpresament emocionada.
Clara smiled, surprisingly delighted.
"M'encanta!" va dir ella, i en aquell moment, Oriol va sentir un impuls de confiança.
"I love it!" she said, and at that moment, Oriol felt a surge of confidence.
Amb el cor bategant, va decidir obrir-se.
With his heart racing, he decided to open up.
"Clara, hi ha una cosa que fa temps que et vull dir..." Les paraules van fluir finalment, sinceres i clares.
"Clara, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time..." The words finally flowed, sincere and clear.
I així, la primavera no només va omplir els carrers de Barcelona, sinó també el cor valent d'Oriol, ara més segur de si mateix, capaç d'expressar els seus sentiments i construir un nou capítol, junts, amb la Clara.
And so, the spring not only filled the streets of Barcelona, but also the brave heart of Oriol, now more self-assured, capable of expressing his feelings and building a new chapter, together, with Clara.
