El sol de primavera il·luminava els carrers de Barcelona mentre la Cafeteria Mistral bullia d'activitat.

The spring sun illuminated the streets of Barcelona while the Cafeteria Mistral buzzed with activity.

L'aroma del cafè acabat de fer i dels croissants calents omplia l'aire, convidant a entrar tots aquells que passaven pel davant.

The aroma of freshly made coffee and warm croissants filled the air, inviting all those who passed by to enter.

A una de les taules de fusta, tres estudiants de la universitat es reunien per estudiar.

At one of the wooden tables, three university students were gathered to study.

Roser, Martí i Núria havien acordat trobar-se allí.

Roser, Martí, and Núria had agreed to meet there.

La pressió dels exàmens finals s'acostava i necessitaven concentrar-se.

The pressure of final exams was approaching, and they needed to concentrate.

Roser, una estudiant de literatura, repassava frenèticament els seus apunts.

Roser, a literature student, was frantically reviewing her notes.

Necessitava aconseguir una beca per estudiar a l'estranger.

She needed to secure a scholarship to study abroad.

Martí, en canvi, semblava més interessat en les converses dels altres clients que en el seu llibre de filosofia.

Martí, on the other hand, seemed more interested in the conversations of other patrons than in his philosophy book.

Treballava les tardes en una llibreria i compaginava com podia els seus horaris.

He worked afternoons at a bookstore and managed his schedule as best he could.

Núria, fent com sempre d'enllaç entre els dos, amagava la seva ansietat rere un somriure constant, preocupada en secret per treure bones notes a arquitectura.

Núria, as always acting as the link between the two, hid her anxiety behind a constant smile, secretly worried about getting good grades in architecture.

El soroll de la cafeteria i l'actitud relaxada de Martí feien que Roser perdés paciència.

The noise of the café and Martí's relaxed demeanor made Roser lose patience.

Va deixar el bolígraf sobre la taula amb força i va mirar els seus amics.

She set her pen down on the table forcefully and looked at her friends.

"Hem de concentrar-nos més si volem aprovar", va dir, la seva veu flanquejant entre la determinació i la frustració.

"We need to concentrate more if we want to pass," she said, her voice wavering between determination and frustration.

Martí va aixecar el cap, somrient tranquil·lament.

Martí looked up, smiling calmly.

"Roser, relaxa't.

"Roser, relax.

Un cafè no canviarà el resultat dels nostres exàmens", va respondre ell, fent una pausa per prendre un glop de la seva tassa.

One coffee won't change the outcome of our exams," he responded, pausing to take a sip from his cup.

Roser no s'ho va prendre bé.

Roser didn't take it well.

"No és només això.

"It's not just that.

És important per a mi, i no em puc permetre fallar", va insistir.

It's important to me, and I can't afford to fail," she insisted.

Núria mirava d'un a l'altre, sense voler intervenir.

Núria looked from one to the other, unwilling to intervene.

Però quan la conversa va pujar de to, finalment va explotar.

But when the conversation escalated, she finally exploded.

"També tinc por de suspendre.

"I'm also afraid of failing.

No vull decebre ningú", va admetre amb veu tremolosa.

I don't want to disappoint anyone," she admitted with a trembling voice.

El reconeixement de Núria va fer caure el silenci sobre la taula.

Núria's acknowledgment brought a silence over the table.

Els tres amics es van mirar detingudament, sentint un nou lligam de complicitat.

The three friends looked at each other carefully, feeling a new bond of complicity.

"Ho sento, no volia pressionar-vos tant", va confessar Roser, suavitzant la seva veu.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you both so much," Roser confessed, softening her voice.

"Podem organitzar-nos millor.

"We can organize ourselves better.

Dividir-nos el temari i estudiar junts".

Split the material and study together."

Martí va somriure de veritat aquesta vegada i va assentir.

Martí genuinely smiled this time and nodded.

"D'acord, potser tindries raó.

"Okay, maybe you are right.

Demà trobem un lloc més tranquil, on puguem dedicar-nos de debò".

Tomorrow let's find a quieter place where we can really focus."

Després d'uns petits acords i uns alti i baixos emocionals, els amics van reprendre l'estudi, aquesta vegada amb un nou esperit d'equip.

After reaching some small agreements and experiencing emotional ups and downs, the friends resumed studying, this time with a new team spirit.

Aprenent que la pressió es pot alleugerir compartint-la, van descobrir el valor d'un treball en equip, i, sobretot, el valor de comprendre's.

Learning that pressure can be eased by sharing it, they discovered the value of teamwork and, above all, the value of understanding each other.

A fora, el sol continuava brillants, prometent més dies de primavera i d'amistat renovada.

Outside, the sun continued to shine, promising more days of spring and renewed friendship.

Cafeteria Mistral, amb el seu soroll i aroma, va seguir sent un petit refugi, potser no ideal per estudiar, però sí perfecte per enfortir els vincles.

Cafeteria Mistral, with its noise and aroma, remained a small refuge, perhaps not ideal for studying, but perfect for strengthening bonds.
