L'aire fresc de l'hivern s'impregnava d'olors delicioses mentre Marta i Pere caminaven entre les parades del Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria.

The fresh winter air was infused with delicious scents as Marta and Pere walked among the stalls of the Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria.

La llum del matí banyava els colors vius dels productes exposats: tomàquets vermells, taronges brillants, i cebes daurades.

The morning light bathed the vibrant colors of the displayed products: red tomatoes, bright oranges, and golden onions.

El mercat bullia de vida amb persones que compraven i venedors que anunciaven els seus articles amb energia.

The market buzzed with life, with people shopping and vendors energetically announcing their goods.

Era Carnaval, i el mercat estava ple de gent buscant ingredients especials per a les seves celebracions.

It was Carnaval, and the market was full of people looking for special ingredients for their celebrations.

Marta, amb un somriure a la cara, estava plena d'emoció.

Marta, with a smile on her face, was full of excitement.

Volia preparar un plat especial per al Carnaval, un plat que impresionés a tothom, especialment a una persona que li importava molt.

She wanted to prepare a special dish for Carnaval, a dish that would impress everyone, especially someone who mattered a lot to her.

"Pere," va dir Marta, "vull trobar els ingredients més especials.

"Pere," said Marta, "I want to find the most special ingredients.

Però és tan ple de gent avui!"

But it's so crowded today!"

Pere, el seu millor amic, la va mirar amb comprensió.

Pere, her best friend, looked at her with understanding.

Ell coneixia el mercat com el palmell de la mà.

He knew the market like the back of his hand.

"Tranquil·la, Marta," va dir Pere, "t'ajudaré a trobar tot el que necessitis."

"Don't worry, Marta," said Pere, "I'll help you find everything you need."

Van començar a passar entre les parades, cercant els ingredients més frescos.

They started to pass between the stalls, searching for the freshest ingredients.

Marta necessitava safrà, però semblava que en quedava poc.

Marta needed saffron, but it seemed there was little left.

"Aquí sol ser complicat trobar-lo durant el Carnaval," va murmurar Pere mentre focava la mirada a una petita parada al final del passadís.

"It's usually hard to find here during Carnaval," Pere murmured as he focused his gaze on a small stall at the end of the aisle.

"Aquí el podem trobar."

"We can find it there."

Amb paciència i determinació, van obrir-se camí fins a la parada i finalment van veure el safrà.

With patience and determination, they made their way to the stall and finally saw the saffron.

Marta estava encantada.

Marta was delighted.

"Moltíssimes gràcies, Pere," va dir ella amb gratitud.

"Thank you so much, Pere," she said gratefully.

Tanmateix, Pere semblava distant per un moment.

Nonetheless, Pere seemed distant for a moment.

Marta notà això.

Marta noticed this.

"Pere, estàs bé?"

"Pere, are you okay?"

Pere respirà profundament.

Pere took a deep breath.

"Marta, hi ha una cosa que t'he de dir.

"Marta, there's something I need to tell you.

He decidit anar-me'n a estudiar a l'estranger..."

I've decided to go abroad to study..."

Marta es quedà sorpresa, però ràpidament el seu rostre es suavitzà.

Marta was surprised, but her expression quickly softened.

"Oh, Pere! Això és increïble! Estic tan contenta per tu!"

"Oh, Pere! That's amazing! I'm so happy for you!"

Ell semblava alleujat amb la seva reacció.

He seemed relieved by her reaction.

"Tenia por de dir-t'ho, perquè no volia que t'afectés negativament.

"I was afraid to tell you because I didn't want it to affect you negatively.

Però sabia que havia de ser sincer amb tu."

But I knew I had to be honest with you."

Marta somrigué.

Marta smiled.

"Mira, fins i tot podem planejar un viatge perquè pugui venir a visitar-te.

"Look, we can even plan a trip so I can come visit you.

Celebraré que segueixes el teu somni."

I'll celebrate your pursuit of your dream."

Pere va assentir, emocionat pel suport de la seva amiga.

Pere nodded, excited by his friend's support.

Van sortir del mercat amb els ingredients que necessitaven, però el més important era el canvi en la seva amistat: més forta i preparada per a noves aventures.

They left the market with the ingredients they needed, but the most important thing was the change in their friendship: stronger and ready for new adventures.

Aquesta jornada al mercat es convertí en un record especial, un moment de transició i celebració tant per a Marta com per a Pere.

This day at the market turned into a special memory, a moment of transition and celebration for both Marta and Pere.

Van sortir al carrer fred de Barcelona, les butxaques plenes d'espècies i idees, preparats per al que el futur els pogués portar.

They stepped out into the cold streets of Barcelona, their pockets full of spices and ideas, ready for whatever the future might bring.
