El sol de primavera brillava amb força sobre el barri de Gràcia.
The spring sun shone brightly over the Gràcia neighborhood.
A la cantonada del carrer, un cafè al aire lliure bullia d'activitat.
At the corner of the street, an open-air café was buzzing with activity.
Entre l'olor de cafè acabat de fer i el murmuri dels vianants, tres germans es preparaven per una reunió especial.
Among the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the murmur of passersby, three siblings were preparing for a special reunion.
Feia anys que Marta, Jordi i Pere no estaven tots junts.
It had been years since Marta, Jordi, and Pere were all together.
Marta acabava d'arribar de l'estranger per passar la Setmana Santa a Barcelona.
Marta had just arrived from abroad to spend Semana Santa in Barcelona.
Estava nerviosa.

Viure lluny l'havia fet sentir desconnectada de la seva terra i la seva família.
Living far away had made her feel disconnected from her homeland and her family.
Tenia ganes de retrobar-se amb els seus germans, però també por de no encaixar.
She was eager to reconnect with her siblings but also afraid of not fitting in.
Jordi, en canvi, mai havia deixar Barcelona.
Jordi, on the other hand, had never left Barcelona.
Era un tipus tranquil, però últimament se sentia encallat en la rutina de la seva vida.

Pere, el més jove, somiava en veu alta i pensava en un nou camí per seguir.
Pere, the youngest, dreamed out loud and thought about a new path to follow.
Asseguts al cafè, sentien la música dels artistes del carrer i respiraven la fragància de les glicines florides.

Pere va ser el primer a parlar, amb les seves idees bohemies i projectes artístics.

Jordi escoltava atentament, volent donar suport però sense saber com.

Marta mirava els seus germans amb afecte, encara dubtosa de com entrar en la conversa.
Marta looked at her brothers with affection, still unsure of how to join the conversation.
Finalment, Marta va decidir parlar.
Finally, Marta decided to speak.
"He estat molt temps fora", va començar, "i a vegades em sento com una estrangera aquí".
"I've been away for a long time," she began, "and sometimes I feel like a stranger here."
Les seves paraules van quedar suspeses en l'aire.
Her words hung in the air.
Jordi i Pere la van mirar, sorpresos però comprensius.
Jordi and Pere looked at her, surprised but understanding.
"Jo també estic perdut, Marta", va dir Jordi amb un mig somriure trist.
"I also feel lost, Marta," Jordi said with a half-sad smile.
"I jo, encara no estic segur de què vull fer", va confessar en Pere.
"And I'm still not sure what I want to do," Pere confessed.
La conversa es va tornar intensa.
The conversation became intense.
Vells malentesos i dolors amagats van emergir, com les arrels d'un arbre que havien crescut massa profundes.
Old misunderstandings and hidden pains emerged, like the roots of a tree that had grown too deep.

Havien trobat una nova manera de ser germans.

Marta sentia un pes aixecat del seu cor.

Pere sabia que tenia el suport dels seus germans per seguir els seus somnis.

La tarda va anar avançant al ritme dels més bells sons de Gràcia.

El cafè, amb el seu bullici constant, es va convertir en l'escenari d'un nou començament per a aquests tres germans.

Van decidir veure's més sovint, conscients que la família no és un lloc, sinó un vincle que es construeix amb temps i amor.
