Proljetni vjetar milovao je lice Ivane dok je stajala na stanici u srcu svog poznatog kvarta.
The spring breeze caressed Ivana's face as she stood at the station in the heart of her familiar neighborhood.
Ulice su bile ispunjene mirisom tek procvalog cvijeća.
The streets were filled with the scent of freshly bloomed flowers.
Ptice su veselo cvrkutale, a blagi povjetarac igrao je među lišćem.
Birds chirped merrily, and a gentle breeze danced among the leaves.
Svuda su bile male, ugodne kuće s njegovanim vrtovima.
Everywhere were small, cozy houses with well-kept gardens.
Sve je to Ivana voljela.
All of this Ivana loved.
Sjećala se svake staze, svake klupe i svakog lica u susjedstvu.
She remembered every path, every bench, and every face in the neighborhood.
Ovog se jutra pripremala za važnu odluku.
This morning, she was preparing for an important decision.
"Ivana, jesi li spremna?
"Ivana, are you ready?"
" Luka je upitao, dok je provirivao iza ugla da vidi dolazi li bus.
Luka asked, peeking around the corner to see if the bus was coming.
Luka je bio onaj avanturistički tip, uvijek pun uzbuđenja i želje za nečim novim.
Luka was the adventurous type, always full of excitement and a desire for something new.
Ivana je cijenila njegovu energiju, ali danas je bila preplavljena sumnjama.
Ivana appreciated his energy, but today she was overwhelmed with doubts.
"Ne znam, Luka.
"I don't know, Luka.
Jesam li spremna za ovo?
Am I ready for this?"
" odgovorila je, stiskajući ruke.
she replied, clasping her hands.
Luka se nasmijao.
Luka laughed.
"Naravno da jesi.
"Of course you are.
Ovo je prava prilika!
This is the right opportunity!
Nova grad, novi početak.
A new city, a new beginning.
Samo zamisli avanture koje te čekaju!
Just imagine the adventures that await you!"
" govorio je ohrabrujući ju.
he said, encouraging her.
Njegovo uzbuđenje bilo je zarazno, ali Ivana nije mogla sakriti svoju zabrinutost.
His excitement was contagious, but Ivana couldn't hide her concern.
Marin, treći član njihove male grupe, stajao je tiho sa strane.
Marin, the third member of their small group, stood quietly on the side.
Bio je zamišljen, ali također i oprezan.
He was thoughtful, but also cautious.
Uvijek je vagao prednosti i nedostatke.
He always weighed the pros and cons.
"Ivana, razumijem tvoje strahove," rekao je smireno.
"Ivana, I understand your fears," he said calmly.
"Ali, mislim da si spremna.
"But, I think you're ready.
Samo moraš vjerovati sebi.
You just need to believe in yourself."
"Ivana nije znala što je čekajuća budućnost spremila za nju.
Ivana didn't know what the awaiting future had in store for her.
Ali ona je znala jedno - ako želi rasti i iskoristiti prilike, morat će se suočiti s neizvjesnošću.
But she knew one thing - if she wanted to grow and seize opportunities, she would have to face uncertainty.
Srce joj je ubrzano kucalo kad je ugledala autobus kako se približava stanici.
Her heart beat faster as she saw the bus approaching the station.
Ovo je bio trenutak kada je trebala donijeti odluku.
This was the moment when she needed to make a decision.
Autobus je stao, vrata su se otvorila uz tiho šištanje zraka.
The bus stopped, and the doors opened with a quiet hiss of air.
Luka je bio prvi, nestrpljiv kao uvijek.
Luka was the first in, impatient as always.
Marin ga je slijedio, još uvijek miran ali podržavajući.
Marin followed him, still calm but supportive.
Ivana je stajala na vratima, gledajući unutra.
Ivana stood at the doors, looking inside.
U tom trenutku, sve joj se činilo neodređenim, ali također i punim mogućnosti.
At that moment, everything seemed vague, yet full of possibilities.
Udahnula je duboko.
She took a deep breath.
Strah je bio prisutan, ali i uzbuđenje.
Fear was present, but so was excitement.
S korakom prema naprijed, s jednim nogom na pragu autobusa, odlučila se.
With a step forward, with one foot on the bus threshold, she decided.
Podigla je glavu i ušla unutra.
She lifted her head and stepped inside.
Dok su sjedili, Luka je s osmijehom gledao kroz prozor, već zamišljajući nove avanture.
As they sat, Luka looked out the window with a smile, already imagining new adventures.
Marin je bio zadovoljan, ponosan na Ivanu što je donijela hrabru odluku.
Marin was satisfied, proud of Ivana for making a brave decision.
Ivana je osjećala mješavinu straha i uzbuđenja, ali po prvi put nakon dugo vremena, osjećala se slobodno.
Ivana felt a mix of fear and excitement, but for the first time in a long time, she felt free.
Dok je autobus lagano klizio kroz ulice koje su Ivani bile poznate, shvatila je da je ostavljala iza sebe samo prošlost, ne i uspomene.
As the bus gently glided through the streets familiar to Ivana, she realized she was leaving behind only the past, not the memories.
Bila je spremna za nove izazove, nove prijatelje, i novu stranicu svog života.
She was ready for new challenges, new friends, and a new chapter in her life.
Ovaj put, nije se osvrtala.
This time, she didn't look back.
Putovala je prema budućnosti s vjerom u sebe.
She traveled toward the future with faith in herself.
