Ca: Els dies eren rutinaris, i els caps de setmana, silenciosos.
En: The days were routine, and the weekends, silent.

Ca: Martí somiava amb el sopar de Nadal: el rostit de l'àvia, la música de fons, i sobretot, les rialles de la seva família.
En: Martí dreamed of the Christmas dinner: Grandma’s roast, background music, and above all, the laughter of his family.

Ca: Decidit a no perdre's l'ocasió, va anar de seguida a una taquilla.
En: Determined not to miss the occasion, he immediately went to a ticket counter.

Ca: "Vull un altre vol cap a Barcelona, si us plau."
En: "I want another flight to Barcelona, please."

Ca: La noia del mostrador li va somriure comprensiva i es va posar a teclejar.
En: The girl at the counter gave him an understanding smile and started typing.

Ca: Martí es recolzava al taulell, sentint l'angoixa del temps que s'escapava.
En: Martí leaned on the counter, feeling the anxiety of time slipping away.

Ca: Mentrestant, a casa, Gemma i Àlex ja ho tenien tot preparat.
En: Meanwhile, at home, Gemma and Àlex had everything ready.

Ca: La taula llarga, decorada amb espelmes i galets, esperava el seu fill.
En: The long table, decorated with candles and galets, awaited their son.

Ca: La Gemma fregia els últims calamars, mentre l'Àlex afegia llenya al foc.
En: Gemma was frying the last of the squid while Àlex added logs to the fire.

Ca: “Creus que arribarà a temps?” va preguntar Àlex, mirant per la finestra.
En: “Do you think he’ll make it on time?” asked Àlex, looking out the window.

Ca: La neu començava a caure suaument, cobrint tot d'una capa blanca.
En: The snow began to gently fall, covering everything in a white layer.

Ca: Martí travessà la porta de sortida amb energia renovada.
En: Martí crossed the exit door with renewed energy.

Ca: Dins la casa, els seus pares s'asseien a taula amb un aire melancòlic.

Ca: Just en aquell moment, la porta es va obrir bruscament.
En: Just at that moment, the door swung open.

Ca: Martí, amb les galtes enrojolades pel fred, els mirava amb ulls brillants.

Ca: Ells es van aixecar corrents i el van abraçar amb força.
En: They stood up quickly and hugged him tightly.

Ca: “Has arribat!” va exclamar la Gemma, amb llàgrimes a la cara.
En: “You made it!” exclaimed Gemma, with tears on her face.

Ca: Martí els va envoltar amb els braços, sentint-se, per fi, a casa.
En: Martí wrapped his arms around them, feeling finally at home.

Ca: L'àlex li va donar un cop afectuós a l'esquena.
En: Àlex gave him an affectionate pat on the back.

Ca: Al seu voltant, aquell sopar prenia vida.
En: Around him, the dinner came to life.

Ca: La distància no havia apagat l'amor.
En: The distance hadn't extinguished the love.

Ca: Martí ho entenia ara.
En: Martí understood that now.

Ca: Ser present era el que importava.
En: Being present was what mattered.
