La Rambla estava plena de llums i decoracions de Nadal, i al mateix temps, plena de gent.

La Rambla was full of Christmas lights and decorations, and at the same time, full of people.

Oriol caminava entre la multitud, però no semblava gaudir-ne.

Oriol walked among the crowd, but he didn't seem to enjoy it.

Les olors de castanyes torrades omplien l'aire fred de l'hivern.

The smells of roasted chestnuts filled the cold winter air.

L'ambient festiu no aconseguia dissipar la seva ansietat.

The festive atmosphere failed to dissipate his anxiety.

Oriol volia trobar un regal perfecte per la seva mare, Marta.

Oriol wanted to find the perfect gift for his mother, Marta.

No qualsevol regal, sinó un que mostrés tot el seu amor i agraïment.

Not just any gift, but one that would show all of his love and gratitude.

Mentre es movia entre les botigues, les masses de gent el feien sentir petit i aclaparat.

As he moved between the stores, the crowds made him feel small and overwhelmed.

El soroll dels venedors i les rialles dels nens es barrejaven en un remolí al seu cap.

The noise of the vendors and the laughter of children swirled in his head.

Havia de parar, necessitava pensar amb calma.

He had to stop, he needed to think calmly.

Es va aturar davant d'una llibreria antiga, el seu portal era com un racó de tranquil·litat.

He stopped in front of an old bookstore, its entrance was like a corner of tranquility.

Va entrar-hi per escapar del brogit.

He entered to escape the hustle and bustle.

Dins, la pau i el silenci van calmar els seus pensaments.

Inside, the peace and silence calmed his thoughts.

Es va perdre entre prestatges de llibres, sentint la calidesa i l'olor de paper vell.

He lost himself among shelves of books, feeling the warmth and the smell of old paper.

Allà, Oriol va recordar una història que Marta li havia explicat una vegada.

There, Oriol remembered a story that Marta had told him once.

Una història de quan, de petit, anaven junts al parc i ella li llegia el seu llibre preferit.

A story about when, as a child, they would go to the park together and she would read him her favorite book.

Oriol va veure el mateix llibre en un dels prestatges.

Oriol saw the same book on one of the shelves.

De sobte, ho va saber amb certesa: aquest era el regal perfecte.

Suddenly, he knew with certainty: this was the perfect gift.

Amb el llibre a les mans, Oriol va afegir un detall personal: dins de la tapa, va escriure una dedicatòria per la seva mare, recordant aquell moment especial que tots dos compartiren.

With the book in his hands, Oriol added a personal touch: inside the cover, he wrote a dedication for his mother, recalling that special moment they both shared.

Va pagar el llibre amb un somriure de satisfacció, sentint que havia trobat el que cercava.

He paid for the book with a satisfied smile, feeling that he had found what he was looking for.

El dia de Nadal, Oriol va lliurar el llibre a Marta.

On Christmas Day, Oriol gave the book to Marta.

Els seus ulls es van omplir de llàgrimes quan va veure el títol i va llegir les paraules de la dedicatòria.

Her eyes filled with tears when she saw the title and read the words of the dedication.

Aquell regal tan personal i ple de records va enfortir el seu vincle.

That gift, so personal and full of memories, strengthened their bond.

Oriol va aprendre que l'amor no es mesura amb regals materials.

Oriol learned that love is not measured by material gifts.

Allò important era el significat i els sentiments que capturava.

What mattered was the meaning and feelings it captured.

Més segur de si mateix, va descobrir una confiança renovada per expressar els seus afectes.

More confident in himself, he discovered a renewed confidence to express his affections.

La màgia de les festes va arribar, omplint els seus cors amb calor i connexió, fent que aquell Nadal fos inoblidable.

The magic of the holidays arrived, filling their hearts with warmth and connection, making that Christmas unforgettable.
