El soroll suau de la ciutat omplia la sala d'espera de l'Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu.

The gentle noise of the city filled the waiting room of the Hospital de Sant Joan de Déu.

Les finestres grans deixaven entrar la llum freda de l'hivern, creant reflexos que ballaven sobre les parets immaculades.

The large windows let in the cold winter light, creating reflections that danced on the immaculate walls.

Júlia mirava per la finestra, intentant trobar certa pau en el bullici de Barcelona.

Júlia looked out the window, trying to find some peace in the bustle of Barcelona.

El cor li bategava ràpid.

Her heart was beating fast.

Era el dia dels resultats i, per molt que intentés distraure's, no podia evitar sentir una pressió constant al pit.

It was the day of the results, and no matter how much she tried to distract herself, she couldn't help but feel a constant pressure in her chest.

Pau estava assegut al seu costat, silenciós però atent.

Pau sat next to her, silent but attentive.

Ell coneixia l'angoixa de Júlia.

He knew Júlia's anxiety.

Sabia quant significaven aquests resultats per a ella.

He knew how much these results meant to her.

Júlia era una dona vibrant, apassionada pel pintor, però avui la seva vitalitat semblava atenuada per la preocupació.

Júlia was a vibrant woman, passionate about painting, but today her vitality seemed dampened by worry.

"Júlia", va dir Pau suaument, trencant el silenci. "Estic aquí per tu. Sempre que necessitis parlar...".

"Júlia," Pau said softly, breaking the silence. "I'm here for you. Whenever you need to talk..."

Júlia va agafar la mà de Pau.

Júlia took Pau's hand.

S'hi va aferrar com qui s'hi agafaria a una corda salvavides.

She held onto it as if it were a lifeline.

Li volia explicar els seus temors.

She wanted to share her fears with him.

Li volia dir que tenia por del futur, que estava aterrida pel possible diagnòstic de càncer.

She wanted to tell him she was afraid of the future, terrified of the possible cancer diagnosis.

Però, les paraules no sortien.

But the words wouldn't come out.

No volia preocupar-lo més del compte.

She didn't want to worry him more than necessary.

Mentre ella lluitava amb les paraules, Pau li somreia.

As she struggled with the words, Pau smiled at her.

Era el seu suport, sempre al seu costat, capaç de portar-li claror en els moments més foscos.

He was her support, always by her side, capable of bringing light to her darkest moments.

Finalment, Júlia va respirar profundament. "Pau, estic espantada", va admetre finalment. "No sé si puc fer front a tot això sola".

Finally, Júlia took a deep breath. "Pau, I'm scared," she finally admitted. "I don't know if I can face this all alone."

"Mai estaràs sola, Júlia", va respondre Pau amb serietat. "Sigui el que sigui, ho farem junts".

"You'll never be alone, Júlia," Pau responded seriously. "Whatever happens, we'll face it together."

Aquestes paraules van donar a Júlia un petit far d'esperança.

Those words gave Júlia a small beacon of hope.

Just en aquell moment, la infermera va cridar el seu nom.

Just then, the nurse called her name.

Les cames de Júlia tremolaven, però va alçar-se amb determinació.

Júlia's legs trembled, but she stood with determination.

Pau li va estrènyer la mà un cop més abans de deixar-la anar.

Pau squeezed her hand once more before letting go.

El camí fins al despatx del metge es va fer etern.

The walk to the doctor's office seemed endless.

Quan finalment va entrar, el metge la va rebre amb un somriure serè.

When she finally entered, the doctor greeted her with a calm smile.

"Júlia", va començar. "Tenim les teves proves".

"Júlia," he began. "We have your results."

Júlia va contenir la respiració.

Júlia held her breath.

El moment havia arribat.

The moment had arrived.

Quan el metge va començar a explicar-li els resultats, un sentiment de calma la va inundar.

When the doctor started explaining the results, a feeling of calm washed over her.

Fos quin fos el diagnòstic, sabia que ho enfrontaria amb valentia i amb Pau al seu costat.

Whatever the diagnosis, she knew she would face it bravely, with Pau by her side.

L'hospital va tornar a omplir-se de vida quan va sortir de l'habitació.

The hospital was once again filled with life when she left the room.

Va trobar Pau i, sense dir res, es va abocar als seus braços, més forta del que mai hauria pensat.

She found Pau and, without saying anything, fell into his arms, stronger than she had ever thought possible.

"Ara gaudirem de cada instant, Júlia", va dir Pau mentre l'abraçava amb calidesa.

"Now let's enjoy every moment, Júlia," Pau said as he hugged her warmly.

Ella va assentir, agraint no només pel seu suport, sinó per les seves paraules senzilles que li havien retornat la força.

She nodded, grateful not only for his support but for his simple words that had restored her strength.

El seu camí potser no seria fàcil, però sabia que no estaria sola.

The path ahead might not be easy, but she knew she wouldn't be alone.

Júlia, ara més resilient, va mirar Barcelona a través de les finestres grans.

Júlia, now more resilient, looked out at Barcelona through the large windows.

El seu amor per la vida i la pintura bategava amb força renovada.

Her love for life and painting beat with renewed strength.

Agafada de la mà de Pau, estava preparada per afrontar el futur, sigues el que sigues.

Hand in hand with Pau, she was ready to face the future, whatever it might bring.

La ciutat continuava respirant sota la llum d'hivern, igual que Júlia amb el seu cor ple d'esperança.

The city continued breathing under the winter light, just like Júlia with her heart full of hope.
