Story Transcript:
Ca: Sant Pau brillava amb la llum d’estiu.
En: Sant Pau shone with the summer light.
Ca: Les parets blanques de l'hospital tenien un aire gairebé càlid, tot i l'aroma fred d'antiseptics que omplia l'aire.
En: The white walls of the hospital had an almost warm feel, despite the cold aroma of antiseptics that filled the air.
Ca: Jan estava assegut a la vora del llit de la seva mare, observant atentament com el sol entrava per la finestra, dibuixant ombres suaus que ballaven al sostre.
En: Jan was sitting by his mother's bedside, attentively observing how the sun entered through the window, casting soft shadows that danced on the ceiling.
Ca: Marta li feia companyia, dret al seu costat.
En: Marta was keeping him company, standing by his side.
Ca: Ella mirava la seva mare amb una tranquil·litat abatuda, com si la malaltia fos només un obstacle més en el seu camí familiar.
En: She looked at her mother with a calmness tinged with resignation, as if the illness were just another obstacle in their family journey.
Ca: "Marta, hem de parlar", va començar Jan, amb la veu una mica tremolosa.
En: "Marta, we need to talk," Jan began, his voice a little shaky.
Ca: Sempre havia sentit com si mai encaixés.
En: He had always felt as though he never fit in.
Ca: La família era com un trencaclosques on ell era la peça sobrera.
En: The family was like a puzzle where he was the extra piece.
Ca: Però aquella sensació tenia una explicació, un secret que mai no havia compartit.
En: But that feeling had an explanation, a secret he had never shared.
Ca: "Què passa, Jan?", va dir Marta, sense apartar la mirada de la seva mare.
En: "What is it, Jan?" Marta said, not taking her eyes off her mother.
Ca: "Hi ha una cosa que has de saber. És important per a nosaltres, per a la família", va respondre ell, sentint el pes de les paraules abans que sortissin.
En: "There's something you need to know. It's important for us, for the family," he replied, feeling the weight of the words before they came out.
Ca: Ella es va girar, intrigada però també alerta.
En: She turned, intrigued yet also on guard.
Ca: Jan va agafar aire profundament, mirant a la seva mare, que semblava envoltada en una pausa tranquil·la del temps.
En: Jan took a deep breath, looking at his mother, who seemed enveloped in a calm pause of time.
Ca: "La veritat és que sempre he estat el diferent perquè... no sóc el fill del papa", va deixar anar, sentint que el cor li bategava gairebé fins a explotar.
En: "The truth is, I've always been different because... I'm not dad's son," he revealed, feeling his heart pounding almost to the point of bursting.
Ca: El silenci es va fer espès a la sala.
En: Silence thickened in the room.
Ca: Marta es va quedar glaçada, la seva expressió era una barreja de sorpresa i confusió.
En: Marta was left frozen, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.
Ca: "És una broma, oi?", va murmurar, buscant una rialla d’alleujament en la situació.
En: "Is this a joke?" she murmured, searching for a relieving laugh in the situation.
Ca: Jan es va mantenir ferm, sacsejant el cap amb tristesa.
En: Jan stood firm, shaking his head sadly.
Ca: "No ho és, Marta.
En: "It's not, Marta.
Ca: Mai no ho he dit, però ara que la mama està... així, sento que ho has de saber."
En: I've never said it, but now that m
