El seu ritme estava marcat per notificacions i alertes al seu telèfon.

Their pace was marked by notifications and alerts on their phone.

Tot va començar quan el seu app favorit, que solia organitzar la seva vida, els va enganyar fent-los creure que avui era el Dia de Sant Jordi.

Era un home enginyós amb la tecnologia, però poc hàbil amb les dates tradicionals.

"Però si ens en sortim amb una idea genial, serà formidable!

"But if we come up with a brilliant idea, it will be fantastic!"

", va dir, mentre caminaven per l'avinguda Diagonal, rodejats de l'arquitectura avantguardista i els edificis de start-ups tecnològiques.

La Marina, amb un somriure burleta, sabia que en Jordi havia comès un error.

Marina, with a teasing smile, knew that Jordi had made a mistake.

Però el seu cor estava ple de generositat: volia veure fins on arribaria amb els seus plans improvisats.

But her heart was full of generosity: she wanted to see how far he would go with his improvised plans.

"Potser prenguéssim alguna cosa mentrestant?

"Maybe we should have something in the meantime?"

", va suggerir ella, mirant cap al seu petit café de l’ahir amb un caliu únic.

La parella va entrar al café.

The couple entered the café.

Entre glops de cafè calent, en Jordi impacient buscava idees al seu telèfon.

Between sips of hot coffee, Jordi impatiently searched for ideas on his phone.

De sobte, va veure a la Marina fixar-se en un aparador d’una botiga tradicional.

Suddenly, he saw Marina noticing a window display of a traditional shop.

Roses vermelles perfectes, preparades per al Sant Jordi que encara no havia arribat.

Perfect red roses, prepared for the Sant Jordi that hadn't yet arrived.

Marina es girà, picant-li l’ullet, mig advertint:"Quan arriba el moment, una flor diu molt més que un centenar de notificacions.

Marina turned, winking at him, half warning: "When the time comes, a flower says much more than a hundred notifications."

"En Jordi va aturar-se.

Jordi paused.

Una revelació: no eren les tecnologies o les aplicacions el que els faria especials, sinó la senzillesa d'un regal comprès i ofert amb temps, atenció i amor.

A revelation: it wasn't technology or apps that would make them special, but the simplicity of a gift understood and offered with time, attention, and love.

Van brindar per la vida, la improvisació, i per en Jordi, que havia après una valuosa lliçó.

A vegades, la veritable màgia es troba fora de les nostres pantalles, quan connectem autènticament amb el que és més important.

Sometimes, true magic is found outside of our screens when we truly connect with what matters most.

Aquella nit, en Jordi va prometre guardar les aplicacions, només per a quan calgués veritablement.

That night, Jordi promised to keep the apps only for when they were truly needed.

La Marina somreia, satisfeta d’haver pogut, sense imposar, ajudar-lo a veure el món més enllà de la torre de gadgets.

Marina smiled, satisfied to have been able, without imposing, to help him see the world beyond the tower of gadgets.

Al capdavall, potser l’antic i el modern no eren tan incompatibles.

After all, perhaps the old and the modern weren't so incompatible.

Tot depenia de com cadascú triava construir el seu present.

It all depended on how each person chose to build their present.
