Story Transcript:

Ca: La llum tènue il·luminava amb prou feines el vell tauler de fusta.
En: The dim light barely illuminated the old wooden table.

Ca: El fum de les cigarretes feia que l'aire fos dens i difícil de respirar.
En: The cigarette smoke made the air thick and difficult to breathe.

Ca: Era una nit d'estiu, i Laia i Pau estaven asseguts a una taula en una taverna antiga de Barcelona.
En: It was a summer night, and Laia and Pau were sitting at a table in an old tavern in Barcelona.

Ca: Els dos eren escriptors lluitant per la seva última oportunitat.
En: They were both writers fighting for their last chance.

Ca: Necessitaven guanyar aquell joc de pòquer.
En: They needed to win that poker game.

Ca: Laia, amb els seus ulls foscos i determinats, observava cada moviment dels altres jugadors.
En: Laia, with her dark and determined eyes, watched every move of the other players.

Ca: Estava amagant un gran deute que amenaçava amb esborrar-la del mapa.
En: She was hiding a large debt that threatened to wipe her off the map.

Ca: Pau, confiat però ple de dubtes interns, mirava fixament les cartes.
En: Pau, confident but full of internal doubts, stared intently at the cards.

Ca: Havia estat rebutjat per tants editors que això era el seu últim intent de publicar la seva novel·la.
En: He had been rejected by so many publishers that this was his last attempt to publish his novel.

Ca: Els altres jugadors eren veterans, amb rictus rígids i somriures cínics.
En: The other players were veterans, with rigid expressions and cynical smiles.

Ca: Sabien com manejar les cartes i llegir els rostres dels seus adversaris.
En: They knew how to handle the cards and read their opponents' faces.

Ca: Laia sabia que estaria en perill si no guanyava.
En: Laia knew that she would be in danger if she didn’t win.

Ca: Pau sabia que era ara o mai.
En: Pau knew it was now or never.

Ca: Laia va decidir fer una aposta petita al principi, observant com reaccionaven els altres.
En: Laia decided to place a small bet at the beginning, observing how the others reacted.

Ca: Pau va seguir una estratègia similar, dubtant a l'hora de jugar les seves cartes fortes.
En: Pau followed a similar strategy, hesitating when playing his strong cards.

Ca: El temps passava, i la tensió augmentava.
En: Time passed, and the tension increased.

Ca: Els jugadors caien un a un fins que només quedaven Laia i Pau.
En: The players dropped out one by one until only Laia and Pau remained.

Ca: Amb el cor bategant fort, Laia va veure en Pau una decisió crucial.
En: With her heart pounding, Laia saw that Pau had come to a crucial decision.

Ca: Pau es va adonar també que no hi havia marxa enrere.
En: Pau also realized there was no turning back.

Ca: Laia va respirar profundament i va decidir que era el moment de bluffar.
En: Laia took a deep breath and decided it was time to bluff.

Ca: Va apostar tot el que tenia.
En: She bet everything she had.

Ca: Pau, sense més remei, va fer el mateix.
En: Pau, with no other choice, did the same.

Ca: Les cartes van ser destapades.
En: The cards were revealed.

Ca: La tensió era insuportable.
En: The tension was unbearable.

Ca: En aquell moment, compartiren una mirada.
En: At that moment, they shared a glance.

Ca: Pau va parlar primer.
En: Pau spoke first.

Ca: “Necessito publicar el meu llibre,” va dir, la veu tremolosa.
En: “I need to publish my book,” he said, his voice trembling.

Ca: Laia, amb els ulls plens de llàgrimes, va admetre: “Ho necessito per pagar els meus deutes.”
En: Laia, with tears in her eyes, admitted, “I need this to pay off my debts.”

Ca: Finalment, Laia va guanyar la mà.
En: Finally, Laia won the hand.

Ca: Pau va sentir un pes al cor, però ho va acceptar.
En: Pau felt a weight in his heart, but he accepted it.

Ca: Sabia que la Laia ho necessitava tant com ell.
En: He knew Laia needed it as much as he did.

Ca: Es van aixecar i es van abraçar en silenci.
En: They stood up and hugged in silence.

Ca: La victòria era agredolça.
En: The victory was bittersweet.

Ca: Van sortir de la taverna, sabent que encara tenien molt per lluitar.
En: They left the tavern, knowing they still had much to fight for.

Ca: Però van decidir que no ho farien sols.
En: But they decided they wouldn’t do it alone.

Ca: Amb el cor més lleuger i una nova determinació, es van prometre recolzar-se mútuament.
En: With lighter hearts and a new determination, they promised to support each other.

Ca: Tot i que la nit havia estat dura, sabien que la vida d’escritor continuava, i ara ho farien plegats.
En: Though the night had been tough, they knew that the life of a writer continued, and now they would face it together.

Ca: A la fi, ambdós van aprendre que les veritables victòries es guanyen amb suport i amistat, i que els seus somnis, tot i difícils, no estaven tan lluny si estaven junts.
En: In the end, both learned that true victories are won with support and friendship, and that their dreams, though difficult, were not so far off if they stayed together.
