Tot el seu esforç i dedicació estaven enfocats a mantenir viva aquesta herència.

Marta, amb ganes de fugir de la frenètica vida urbana, havia arribat al poble buscant pau i autenticitat.

Es va decidir a participar en la verema com una manera de reconnectar amb allò essencial.

El primer dia de la verema, Marta va coincidir amb Pere entre els ceps.

Al principi, Pere es mostrava reservat.

No estava segur si un estrany, a més de ciutat, podria entendre la importància del seu món.
He was not sure if a stranger, especially one from the city, could understand the importance of his world.
Marta, però, es va apropar amb entusiasme, mostrant una veritable curiositat per tot el que l’envoltava.

Pere, veient el compromís de Marta, va començar a obrir-se.

Una nit, mentre el cel s'acostava La Mercè il·luminat per focs artificials des de Barcelona, Pere li va confessar les seves pors.
One night, as the sky neared the feast of La Mercè, illuminated by fireworks from Barcelona, Pere confessed his fears to her.
"No vull perdre el que hem cuidat durant generacions," va dir ell.
“I don’t want to lose what we’ve cared for over generations,” he said.
Marta, tocada per aquest moment de vulnerabilitat, va prometre respectar-la.
Marta, touched by this moment of vulnerability, promised to respect it.
Ella també va confessar els seus dubtes sobre deixar la ciutat enrere, però va admetre que mai s’havia sentit tan en pau com allà.

L'endemà, durant la verema, els núvols s'agrupaven amenaçadorament en l'horitzó.

A aquell mateix vespre, quan la pluja va aturar-se finalment, Pere i Marta es van aturar a l’alt d'un turó contemplant el sol de la tarda tenyir les vinyes.

Pere va aprendre que obrir-se al canvi no significava trair la seva herència, sinó enriquir-la.

Marta va trobar allò que buscava: tranquil·litat i arrels.

En aquell moment sota el cel de tardor, van saber que podien construir un futur junts, unint tradició i nova esperança.

Sens dubte, havien trobat un lligam special en aquell espai entre la ciutat i el camp, entre el passat i el futur.
Undoubtedly, they had found a special bond in that space between the city and the countryside, between the past and the future.
