La lluna brillava, silenciosa, sobre el monestir de Montserrat, on el vent portava l'aroma dels focs de Sant Joan.
The moon shone, silent, over the monestir de Montserrat, where the wind carried the aroma of the focs de Sant Joan.
Les muntanyes es retallaven espectaculars contra el cel estrellat, mentre al voltant del monestir, la fira medieval estava en ple apogeu.
The mountains were silhouetted spectacularly against the starry sky, while around the monastery, the medieval fair was in full swing.
Martí mirava a través dels colors dels estands, buscant les seves germanes.
Martí looked through the colors of the stalls, searching for his sisters.
La fira bullia d'activitat: artesans venien les seves creacions, nens corrien amb rialles i els músics tocaven melodies antigues.
The fair buzzed with activity: artisans selling their creations, children running with laughter, and musicians playing ancient melodies.
Tot semblava alegre, però Martí sentia un nus a l'estómac.
Everything seemed cheerful, but Martí felt a knot in his stomach.
Era el moment per reunir la família.
It was time to gather the family.
Allà estava Berta, admirant les joies d'un comerciant.
There was Berta, admiring a merchant's jewelry.
Amb un somriure tímid, Martí s'hi va apropar.
With a shy smile, Martí approached her.
"Berta," va dir suaument, "has vist Laia?".
"Berta," he said softly, "have you seen Laia?"
Berta va aixecar el cap, sorpresa, i després va assentir cap a una parada propera.
Berta looked up, surprised, and then nodded towards a nearby stall.
Laia estava provant una diadema de flors.
Laia was trying on a flower crown.
Els seus ulls brillaven amb entusiasme juvenil.
Her eyes sparkled with youthful enthusiasm.
Martí es va acostar i amb un gest va cridar les seves germanes.
Martí approached, signaling to his sisters.
Les tres es van reunir al centre de la plaça, sota la llum càlida d'una torxa.
The three gathered in the center of the square, under the warm light of a torch.
"Hem de parlar," va dir Martí, la veu una mica tremolosa.
"We need to talk," said Martí, his voice a bit shaky.
Sabia que el passat pesava entre ells, com una ombra.
He knew that the past weighed on them like a shadow.
"Vull que aquesta nit sigui especial.
"I want this night to be special.
Hem tingut les nostres diferències, però som família."
We've had our differences, but we are family."
Berta, sempre en busca d'aprovació, va dir: "És difícil, Martí.
Berta, always seeking approval, said, "It's hard, Martí.
Mai he sabut què esperes de mi."
I've never known what you expect from me."
Laia, amb l'afany de fugir de confines, va afegir: "I jo només vull ser lliure, sense sentir-me sola."
Laia, eager to escape confines, added, "And I just want to be free without feeling alone."
La llum del foc de Sant Joan començava a incendiar el cel amb un brillantor taronja.
The light of the foc de Sant Joan began to set the sky ablaze with an orange glow.
Era el moment de ser valents.
It was time to be brave.
Martí va respirar profundament.
Martí took a deep breath.
"No espero ser el vostre líder.
"I don't expect to be your leader.
Vull ser el vostre germà."
I want to be your brother."
Va fer una pausa.
He paused.
"He après que escoltar pot ser més important que parlar."
"I've learned that listening can be more important than speaking."
Berta i Laia el van mirar, sorpreses.
Berta and Laia looked at him, surprised.
L'escalfor del foc reflectia a les seves cares, i alguna cosa es va trencar, un silenci llarg va acabar.
The warmth of the fire reflected on their faces, and something broke—a long silence ended.
Les paraules van començar a fluir, honestes i crues, sobre les seves desil·lusions, els seus somnis i les necessitats que mai abans no havien expressat.
Words began to flow, honest and raw, about their disappointments, their dreams, and the needs they had never expressed before.
Amb cada confessió, la tensió s'anava deslligant.
With each confession, the tension unraveled.
Al final, sota la llum de la foguera, es van abraçar fort.
Finally, under the light of the bonfire, they hugged tightly.
Les paraules passades es van esvair entre les flames i van deixar una carícia de perdó en l'aire estiuenc.
The past words faded into the flames, leaving a caress of forgiveness in the summer air.
A mida que el foc de Sant Joan s'aixecava més alt, Martí va sentir que la pressió escapava del seu cor.
As the foc de Sant Joan rose higher, Martí felt the pressure escape his heart.
Els germans eren finalment germans de nou, units no només pel vincle de sang, sinó per la voluntat d'entendre's i estimar-se.
The siblings were finally siblings again, united not only by blood ties but by the willingness to understand and love one another.
Era veritat, la festa de Sant Joan havia portat renovació i llum, netejant els cors amb el foc de la reconciliació.
It was true, the festa de Sant Joan had brought renewal and light, cleansing their hearts with the fire of reconciliation.
Les cendres del passat es dissipaven en l'aire, mentre les estrelles dansaven silencioses sobre Montserrat.
The ashes of the past dissipated in the air while the stars danced silently over Montserrat.
