Story Transcript:
Ca: Les fulles grogues i vermelles dansaven sobre les voreres del barri residencial de Barcelona, acompanyades pel vent suau de la tardor.
En: The yellow and red leaves danced over the sidewalks of the residential neighborhood in Barcelona, accompanied by the gentle autumn breeze.
Ca: La ciutat entrava en festes per celebrar La Mercè, i els carrers s'omplien de colors i alegria.
En: The city was gearing up for the festivities of La Mercè, and the streets were filled with colors and joy.
Ca: L'aire fresc rebotia contra els murs de l'apartament d'Oriol, un artista conegut pels seus quadres plens de vida i intensitat de color.
En: The fresh air bounced off the walls of Oriol's apartment, an artist known for his paintings full of life and intense color.
Ca: Des del balcó, Oriol observava els passatgers que anaven i venien, uns amb pressa, altres gaudint del ritme festiu.
En: From the balcony, Oriol watched the passersby bustling about, some in a hurry, others enjoying the festive rhythm.
Ca: Marta, la seva parella, preparava un cafè a la cuina mentre el mirava amb preocupació afectuosa.
En: Marta, his partner, was making coffee in the kitchen while watching him with affectionate concern.
Ca: Darrerament, Oriol es sentia cansat, però ell ho atribuïa a l’intens treball d’organització de la seva nova exposició d’art.
En: Lately, Oriol had been feeling tired, but he attributed it to the intense work of organizing his new art exhibition.
Ca: Marta, però, sabia que hi havia més.
En: However, Marta knew there was more to it.
Ca: "Has de fer-te la revisió mèdica, Oriol," li deia Marta.
En: "You need to get a medical check-up, Oriol," Marta told him.
Ca: Oriol sospirava.
En: Oriol sighed.
Ca: No li agradava l'idea de possibles males notícies que podrien aturar el seu ritme creatiu.
En: He disliked the idea of potential bad news that could interrupt his creative flow.
Ca: Al final, però, accedí, més per tranquil·litzar Marta que a si mateix.
En: In the end, he agreed, more to reassure Marta than himself.
Ca: El dia següent, aprofitant que la ciutat estava mig parada pel festival, van anar junts a la consulta mèdica.
En: The next day, taking advantage of the city being half-closed for the festival, they went together to the medical appointment.
Ca: La sala d’espera estava plena d'altres pacients, alguns amb semblant seriós, altres simplement avorrits.
En: The waiting room was full of other patients, some with serious expressions, others simply bored.
Ca: Quan finalment el van trucar, Oriol es va encaminar cap a la consulta amb un lleuger sentiment de neguit.
En: When he was finally called, Oriol headed towards the consultation room with a slight sense of unease.
Ca: Després de les exploracions rutinàries, el metge va arribar amb els resultats.
En: After the routine examinations, the doctor came in with the results.
Ca: La cara de l’especialista era neutra, però les paraules que va pronunciar tenien més pes del que Oriol estimeva.
En: The specialist's face was neutral, but the words he spoke carried more weight than Oriol had anticipated.
Ca: Un indici de problemes al cor, res greu de moment, però que necessitaven atenció i cura.
En: An indication of heart issues, nothing serious for the moment, but requiring attention and care.
Ca: Oriol va sentir com si el temps s’hagués aturat.
En: Oriol felt as if time had stopped.
Ca: Els colors que tant li agradava pintar es van difuminar en un segon.
En: The colors he so loved to paint blurred in an instant.
Ca: Marta va agafar-li la mà, transmetent calma i suport.
En: Marta took his hand, providing calm and support.
Ca: "Ho superarem junts", li va dir ella amb un somriure esperançador.
En: "We'll get through this together," she said to him with a hopeful smile.
Ca: En sortir de la consulta, el soroll i les llums de La Mercè els van embolcallar.
En: As they left the consultation, the noise and lights of La Mercè surrounded them.
Ca: Oriol va mirar a Marta i va comprendre que la seva salut no era només seva, sinó de tots dos.
En: Oriol looked at Marta and realized that his health wasn't just his own concern, but theirs together.
Ca: Tractaria el seu problema de cor, no només per poder continuar creant, sinó per poder compartir la vida amb la seva musa i suport.
En: He would take care of his heart problem, not just to continue creating, but to share life with his muse and support.
Ca: A partir de llavors, va prometre que, tot i les presses, cuidaria de si mateix amb més atenció.
En: From then on, he promised that despite being busy, he would take better care of himself.
Ca: La creativitat seguiria fluint, però amb una nova pinzellada: la del compromís amb la seva salut.
En: His creativity would continue flowing, but with a new brushstroke: the commitment to his health.
Ca: Mentre passejaven pel barri adornat per la festivitat, Oriol va sentir que havia après una lliçó vital.
En: As they walked through the neighborhood adorned for the festival, Oriol felt he had learned a vital lesson.
Ca: El soroll de la festa va acollir aquesta nova decisió, mentre les fulles seguien ballant al ritme de la vida.
En: The noise of the festivities embraced this new decision, while the leaves continued dancing to the rhythm of life.
