Les fulles ja començaven a canviar de color quan Oriol, Laia i Marta es trobaven al peu de Montserrat.

The leaves were already starting to change color when Oriol, Laia, and Marta met at the foot of Montserrat.

La muntanya s’alçava majestuosa, amb els seus cims tallants que semblaven protegir els secrets de l’univers.

The mountain rose majestically, with its razor-sharp peaks that seemed to protect the secrets of the universe.

Per Oriol, aquesta reunió significava molt.

For Oriol, this meeting meant a lot.

Feia massa temps que es va distanciar de les seves dues germanes, després d’haver marxat a l'estranger cercant noves oportunitats.

It had been too long since he had distanced himself from his two sisters after leaving abroad in search of new opportunities.

Laia observava el cel mentre les fulles caien lentament al terra.

Laia watched the sky as the leaves slowly fell to the ground.

Ella sempre havia volgut que la família tornés a estar unida.

She had always wanted the family to be united again.

Marta, en canvi, havia construït un mur al seu voltant, fet de ressentiment i silencis prolongats.

Marta, on the other hand, had built a wall around herself, made of resentment and prolonged silences.

Quan Oriol li va trucar proposant una trobada, Laia va insistir perquè Marta acceptés.

When Oriol called proposing a meeting, Laia insisted that Marta accept.

Passejaven pels camins de Montserrat, sentint el cruixit de les fulles daurades sota els seus peus.

They walked along the paths of Montserrat, hearing the crunch of golden leaves under their feet.

Oriol, amb el cor pesat, sabia que necessitava fer alguna cosa excepcional per trencar el gel.

Oriol, with a heavy heart, knew he needed to do something exceptional to break the ice.

Quan van arribar a un mirador amb vistes espectaculars, Oriol va saber que era el moment.

When they reached a viewpoint with spectacular views, Oriol knew it was the moment.

Es va aturar, respirant profundament.

He stopped, breathing deeply.

"Hi ha quelcom que us haig de dir.

"There's something I need to tell you.

Un secret que he guardat massa temps.

A secret I've kept for too long."

" Les seves germanes es van girar cap a ell, sentint la gravetat de les seves paraules.

His sisters turned toward him, sensing the gravity of his words.

"Vaig marxar perquè estava espantat de decebre-vos.

"I left because I was scared of disappointing you."

"Marta va aixecar una cella, sorpresa.

Marta raised an eyebrow, surprised.

Oriol va continuar: "Sempre he sentit la pressió de ser el germà gran, de prendre decisions.

Oriol continued, "I've always felt the pressure of being the older brother, of making decisions.

Vaig fallar en sentir-me prou fort per a vosaltres.

I failed in feeling strong enough for you."

" La seva veu va tremolar.

His voice trembled.

La revelació va caure entre ells com una pedra en un llac tranquil, creant ones de sorpresa i compenetració.

The revelation fell among them like a stone in a calm lake, creating waves of surprise and understanding.

Laia va agafar la mà d’Oriol, sentint la seva vulnerabilitat.

Laia took Oriol's hand, feeling his vulnerability.

Finalment, Marta va parla, la seva veu més suau del que havia estat en anys: "Mai no vaig entendre per què vas marxar.

Finally, Marta spoke, her voice softer than it had been in years: "I never understood why you left.

Si hagués sabut, potser les coses serien diferents.

If I had known, maybe things would be different."

" Oriol va veure una petita escletxa al mur de Marta.

Oriol saw a small crack in Marta's wall.

Els tres germans van quedar-se una estona en silenci, contemplant els cims, deixant que l'aire fresc de la tardor netegés les seves ànimes.

The three siblings stayed for a while in silence, contemplating the peaks, letting the fresh autumn air cleanse their souls.

"Podem començar de nou?

"Can we start anew?"

" va preguntar Oriol amb un repòquer d'ulls humits.

Oriol asked, with eyes brimming with tears.

A poc a poc, la tensió es va fondre com la boira del matí, els ressentiments es van dissipar i les paraules truculentes es van tornar a dibuixar en somriures.

Slowly, the tension melted away like morning mist, resentments dissipated, and harsh words were redrawn into smiles.

Van donar-se un llarg i sincer abraç.

They shared a long and sincere hug.

Els vincles que semblaven fràgils ara es teixien ferms un altre cop.

The bonds that seemed fragile were now woven firmly once again.

Mentre el sol es ponia darrere de les muntanyes, Oriol, Laia i Marta sabien que havien tornat a ser germans de debò.

As the sun set behind the mountains, Oriol, Laia, and Marta knew they had truly become siblings again.

Malgrat les distàncies i silencis passats, la força de l’afecte compartit havia derrotat el pas del temps.

Despite the distances and past silences, the strength of shared affection had defeated the passage of time.

Podrien riure i plorar junts una altra vegada.

They could laugh and cry together once more.

I a Montserrat, entre els seus cims ancestrals, la família havia tornat a trobar el seu lloc.

And at Montserrat, among its ancient peaks, the family had found their place again.
