A l'ombra de les columnes ondulades de Park Güell, en Martí es preparava per un dia especial.

In the shadow of the wavy columns of Park Güell, Martí was preparing for a special day.

Havia passat mesos organitzant la trobada.

Volia que tot sortís bé.

El sol de l'hivern brillava, però l'aire fred recordava a tothom que era propi de desembre.

The winter sun was shining, but the cold air reminded everyone that it was indeed December.

A través dels mosaics d'Antoni Gaudí, es podien veure els colors que farcien els bancs i els ponts del parc.

Through the mosaics of Antoni Gaudí, the colors that filled the benches and bridges of the park could be seen.

En Gemma caminava per la plaça amb una bufanda vermella embolicada al coll.

Gemma walked across the square with a red scarf wrapped around her neck.

Feia molt poc que havia tornat a Barcelona, i aquest retorn li feia batejar el cor amb records d'infantesa.

She had only recently returned to Barcelona, and this return made her heart beat with childhood memories.

Moments després, va veure en Martí amb un somriure nerviós.

"Bon dia, Gemma!" En Martí la va saludar amb entusiasme, però va sentir com si una atmosfera invisible es formés entre ells.

"Good morning, Gemma!" Martí greeted her with enthusiasm, but he felt as if an invisible atmosphere formed between them.

Poc després va arribar en Pau, amb els seus papers d'arquitecte sota el braç.

Shortly after, Pau arrived, with his architect's papers under his arm.

La reunió estava completa.

"Fem un picnic aquí mateix", va suggerir en Martí, mostrant el lloc al costat de la salamandra de mosaic.

"Let's have a picnic right here," suggested Martí, showing the spot next to the mosaic salamander.

Els tres es van asseure sobre una manta, envoltats pels sons de la ciutat i el xivarri dels visitants.

The three of them sat on a blanket, surrounded by the sounds of the city and the bustle of visitors.

La conversa va començar fluida, però aviat el tema de les seves vides canviades va sortir a la llum.

The conversation began fluidly, but soon the topic of their changed lives came to light.

En Pau, amb la seva carrera d'arquitecte triomfant, destacava els projectes que estava supervisant.

La Gemma, per altra banda, parlava dels nous començaments i de com costava recuperar-se de la seva decisió de tornar.

Finalment, en Martí admès que estava buscant inspiració per dissenyar un projecte nou.

Finally, Martí admitted that he was seeking inspiration to design a new project.

Aquí, la conversa es va fer tensa.

Here, the conversation became tense.

Semblava que els seus objectius i estils de vida divergents creaven una barrera invisible.

It seemed that their differing goals and lifestyles created an invisible barrier.

"Potser hem canviat massa", va dir en Pau, fent que en Martí es posés en peu amb una enredada determinació.

"Maybe we’ve changed too much," said Pau, making Martí stand up with a tangled determination.

"No podem deixar que les nostres vides ens separin. Podem créixer, però no perdre'ns."

"We can't let our lives pull us apart. We can grow, but not lose each other."

En aquell moment, la Gemma va mirar al cel blau i va assentir lentament.

At that moment, Gemma looked up at the blue sky and nodded slowly.

"Crec que encara ens podem entendre," va dir amb un somriure suau.

"I think we can still understand each other," she said with a gentle smile.

"Hem crescut, sí, però això no vol dir que la nostra amistat hagi de desaparèixer."

"We’ve grown, yes, but that doesn't mean our friendship has to disappear."

En Pau va oferir una mà reconciliadora i en Martí la va agafar, seguit per la Gemma.

Pau offered a reconciliatory hand, and Martí took it, followed by Gemma.

Tot i les diferències, van trobar una nova manera de connectar-se, en harmonia com les pedres de Gaudí.

Despite their differences, they found a new way to connect, in harmony like Gaudí's stones.

Quan el sol començava a baixar, van plegar la manta i van prometre no deixar que passés tant temps des d'aquell dia.

As the sun began to set, they folded the blanket and promised not to let so much time pass from that day.

En Martí, ara amb el cor més lleuger, es va adonar que les amistats poden ser tant un record del passat com una inspiració pel futur.

Martí, now with a lighter heart, realized that friendships can be both a memory from the past and an inspiration for the future.

I mentre marxaven junts cap a la sortida del parc, van saber que el camí de la vida, com el de Park Güell, és tortuós però sempre digne de ser recorregut.

And as they walked together toward the park's exit, they knew that the path of life, like that of Park Güell, is winding but always worth traveling.
