El sol brillava sobre Barcelona aquell matí de Sant Jordi.

The sun was shining over Barcelona that Sant Jordi morning.

El cel estava clar i l'aire fresc de primavera es colava per les finestres obertes de la gran casa familiar.

The sky was clear, and the fresh spring air was flowing through the open windows of the grand family house.

La fragància de les roses omplia l'ambient i l'expectació per la trobada familiar es podia sentir a cada racó de la casa.

The fragrance of the roses filled the atmosphere, and the anticipation for the family gathering could be felt in every corner of the house.

Adrià estava nerviós.

Adrià was nervous.

Feia mesos que escrivia en secret i volia compartir-ho amb la seva família.

For months, he'd been writing in secret and wanted to share it with his family.

Sentia la pressió de ser el fill gran, sempre organitzat i responsable.

He felt the pressure of being the eldest son, always organized and responsible.

Però avui, per Sant Jordi, volia mostrar una altra part de si mateix.

But today, for Sant Jordi, he wanted to show another side of himself.

Una part secreta.

A secret side.

Laia, la seva germana petita, estava ajudant a decorar el jardí amb guirnaldes de paper.

Laia, his younger sister, was helping decorate the garden with paper garlands.

Era artística i espontània, però sovint sentia que vivia a l'ombra dels èxits acadèmics d'Adrià.

She was artistic and spontaneous but often felt she lived in the shadow of Adrià's academic achievements.

Mentre penjava les decoracions, pensava en com Sant Jordi era una festa especial, plena de llibres i roses, d'històries i amor.

While hanging the decorations, she thought about how Sant Jordi was a special festival, full of books and roses, stories and love.

Núria, la seva cosina, havia arribat amb una pila de llibres per regalar a la família.

Núria, their cousin, had arrived with a pile of books to give to the family.

Era curiosa i sempre sabia animar els altres.

En veure Adrià mirant un dels seus quaderns amb inquietud, va decidir apropar-s'hi.

—Adrià, què fas tan concentrat avui? —va preguntar Núria amb un somriure.

"Adrià, what are you doing so focused today?" Núria asked with a smile.

Adrià va respirar profundament.

Adrià took a deep breath.

Sabia que podia confiar en Núria.

He knew he could trust Núria.

—Tinc... un conte que voldria llegir a la família —va confessar Adrià, amb veu baixa.

"I have... a story that I'd like to read to the family," Adrià confessed in a low voice.

—Però tinc por que no ho prenguin seriosament.

"But I'm afraid they won't take it seriously."

Núria el va mirar amb complicitat.

Núria looked at him conspiratorially.

—Sant Jordi és el moment perfecte per compartir històries —va dir ella.

"Sant Jordi is the perfect time to share stories," she said.

—Llegeix-lo, segur que els encantarà.

"Read it, I'm sure they'll love it."

Encara dubtós, però amb la confiança renovada gràcies a Núria, Adrià va decidir fer-ho.

Still doubtful, but with renewed confidence thanks to Núria, Adrià decided to do it.

Quan la família es va reunir al jardí, la xisclejada d’infants i el so de les copes brindant ressonaven a l’aire.

When the family gathered in the garden, the sound of children laughing and the clinking of glasses resounded in the air.

Era el moment.

It was time.

Adrià es va posar al centre del jardí i va demanar l'atenció de tothom.

Adrià stood in the center of the garden and asked for everyone's attention.

—Tinc una cosa per compartir —va dir, notant que les seves mans li suaven lleugerament.

"I have something to share," he said, noticing his hands were slightly sweaty.

Amb tanta gent escoltant, Adrià va començar a llegir la seva història.

With so many people listening, Adrià began to read his story.

A mesura que les paraules fluïen, els nervis es van dissipar, i el silenci es va apoderar del jardí.

As the words flowed, his nerves dissipated, and silence took over the garden.

Les mirades atentes i els somriures admiratius de la seva família li donaven força.

The attentive gazes and admiring smiles of his family gave him strength.

Quan va acabar, un aplaudiment sincer i afectuós va esclatar.

Laia es va apropar emocionada.

—No sabia que escrivies tan bé, Adrià! —va exclamar ella.

"I didn't know you wrote so well, Adrià!" she exclaimed.

—Em fas sentir inspirada a mostrar les meves pintures.

"You inspire me to show my paintings."

Aquella tarda, Laia va ensenyar les seves obres d'art.

That afternoon, Laia showed her artwork.

Cada pinzellada era una expressió d'ella, i la família ho va admirar igualment.
