  • El cel era blau i el sol brillava amb força aquell dia de primavera.

    The sky was blue, and the sun shone brightly on that spring day.

  • La Laia estava asseguda a casa seva, envoltada de llibres i apunts.

    Laia was sitting at her home, surrounded by books and notes.

  • Els exàmens finals s'acostaven i la pressió de la seva família es feia sentir com un mur insalvable.

    The final exams were approaching, and the pressure from her family felt like an insurmountable wall.

  • La seva mare volia que estudiés dret, però la Laia somiava amb literatura.

    Her mother wanted her to study law, but Laia dreamed of literature.

  • Marçal, el seu millor amic, li envià un missatge: "Laia, avui juga el Barça al Camp Nou! Necessites un descans, vine amb mi!".

  • De sobte, una notificació li va fer vibrar el mòbil.

    Suddenly, a notification made her phone vibrate.

  • Era un missatge de la seva mare: "Hem rebut una oferta perquè parlis amb un prestigiós advocat. És una gran oportunitat!".

    It was a message from her mother: "We've received an offer for you to speak with a prestigious lawyer. It's a great opportunity!"

  • Els dubtes van embargar la Laia.

    Doubts flooded Laia.

  • Havia de triar entre seguir el seu somni o complaure la seva família.

    She had to choose between following her dream or pleasing her family.

  • Marçal ho notà i li digué: "Laia, només tens una vida. Escolta el teu cor".

    Marçal noticed and said to her: "Laia, you only have one life. Listen to your heart."

  • Les paraules de Marçal la van calmar.

    Marçal's words calmed her.

  • Sabia que havia de prendre una decisió pel que veritablement importava per a ella.

  • Volia demostrar que la literatura era la seva vocació.

    She wanted to prove that literature was her vocation.

  • Marçal somrigué i li digué: "Jo sempre estaré al teu costat".

    With that success, Laia spoke with her family.
