Sota el sol brillant de la Costa Brava, el cafè de la platja estava enmig d'un estiu calorós.

Under the bright sun of the Costa Brava, the beach café was in the midst of a hot summer.

El cel era d'un blau intens, i l'aire estava ple de la frescor del mar.

The sky was a deep blue, and the air was filled with the freshness of the sea.

Marta, amb el seu davantal tacat de cafè, somiava amb el seu propi cafè mentre preparava begudes per als pocs clients que s'aventuraven a la calor del migdia.

Marta, with her coffee-stained apron, dreamed of owning her own café while she prepared drinks for the few customers who braved the midday heat.

Ferran, el gerent, feia cercles pel local, la seva mirada preocupada fixa a l'horitzó.

Ferran, the manager, circled the place, his worried gaze fixed on the horizon.

"Necessitem més turistes," murmurava sovint.

"We need more tourists," he often murmured.

Marta sabia que la pressió era seva també.

Marta knew the pressure was on her too.

Necessitava aquesta oportunitat per aconseguir l'augment de sou que li permetria estalviar per al seu somni.

She needed this opportunity to secure the raise that would allow her to save for her dream.

Laia, la jove cambrera amb esperit lliure, col·locava un parell de fotografies a la paret.

Laia, the young waitress with a free spirit, was hanging a couple of photographs on the wall.

"Què en penses, Marta?

"What do you think, Marta?"

" preguntà amb un somriure.

she asked with a smile.

"Donarà una mica de vida aquí, no creus?

"It'll bring a little life here, don't you think?"

"Marta va assentir.

Marta nodded.

"Idea brillant, Laia.

"Brilliant idea, Laia.

Tal vegada podria pensar en noves begudes, una carta d’iced coffee.

Maybe I could think of new drinks, an iced coffee menu."

"Ferran va escoltar-les parlar.

Ferran overheard them talking.

"Si podem atraure més gent, això podria funcionar," va dir, el to més esperançador que abans.

"If we can attract more people, this might work," he said, more hopeful than before.

Així que, Marta es va posar a treballar, mesclant sabors i aromes, creant noves receptes per a la seva proposta.

So, Marta set to work, mixing flavors and aromas, creating new recipes for her proposal.

L'endemà, el cafè oferia unes obertures fresques a base de cafè gelat.

The next day, the café offered fresh iced coffee creations.

Les taules es decoraven amb les fotografies de Laia, que capturaven l'essència del mar i de la vida costanera.

The tables were decorated with Laia’s photographs, capturing the essence of the sea and coastal life.

Els locals van començar a arribar, primer per veure què hi havia de nou, i després per quedar-se i gaudir de les begudes i l’ambient innovador.

Locals began to arrive, first to see what was new, and then to stay and enjoy the drinks and innovative atmosphere.

Una tarda, un petit grup de músics locals va decidir improvisar una sessió a la terrassa.

One afternoon, a small group of local musicians decided to improvise a session on the terrace.

Les melodies es barrejaven amb el so de les onades, creant una atmosfera màgica.

The melodies mingled with the sound of the waves, creating a magical atmosphere.

Els turistes, atrets pel soroll i les imatges de Laia, venien a cada cop més.

Tourists, drawn by the music and Laia's images, came more and more.

Ferran observava l'escena, imaginant l’impacte positiu en les vendes.

Ferran watched the scene, imagining the positive impact on sales.

"Marta, això està funcionant," exclamà amb un somriure satisfet.

"Marta, this is working," he exclaimed with a satisfied smile.

Marta, suada però radiant, sentia que tot l'esforç havia valgut la pena.

Marta, sweaty but radiant, felt that all the effort had been worth it.

Laia, al seu costat, feia fotos a l’escena animada, capturant cada moment.

Laia, by her side, was taking photos of the lively scene, capturing every moment.

Al final del dia, el cafè havia sobrepassat les expectatives.

By the end of the day, the café had surpassed expectations.

Ferran es va apropar a Marta, amb un to ple d'agraïment.

Ferran approached Marta, his tone full of gratitude.

"Has fet una feina espectacular.

"You've done an amazing job.

Tinc bones notícies: estic disposat a donar-te més responsabilitats i, amb això, un augment de sou.

I have good news: I'm willing to give you more responsibilities, and with that, a raise."

"Marta va sentir com l'alegria creixia dins seu.

Marta felt joy welling up inside her.

Havia demostrat el seu potencial, havia treballat en equip, i, a poc a poc, estava més a prop del seu somni.

She had proven her potential, worked as a team, and was gradually getting closer to her dream.

Aquella nit, sota un cel estrellat, sentía que no només havia trobat una oportunitat, sinó també una família i una comunitat.
