U zraku se osjećala proljetna svježina.
The air was filled with spring freshness.
Franjo Tuđman, međunarodna zračna luka u Zagrebu bila je puna ljudi.
Franjo Tuđman, the international airport in Zagreb, was bustling with people.
Putnici su dolazili i odlazili, a zrak je bio ispunjen žamorom i šuštanjem kofera po podu.
Travelers were arriving and departing, and the air was filled with chatter and the rustling of suitcases on the floor.
Bio je to dan pun emocija, a za Luku, bio je to dan dugoočekivanog povratka kući.
It was a day full of emotions, and for Luka, it was the day of his long-awaited return home.
Luka nije bio u Hrvatskoj već pet godina.
Luka hadn't been in Croatia for five years.
Kanada je postala njegov dom, no srce ga je vuklo natrag svojoj obitelji.
Canada had become his home, but his heart was pulling him back to his family.
Kada je napustio Zagreb, osjetio je da će proći dugo prije nego se opet vrati.
When he left Zagreb, he felt it would be a long time before he returned.
Sada je stajao na istom mjestu gdje je započeo novi život, pun uspomena i nade za budućnost.
Now he stood in the same place where he had started a new life, full of memories and hopes for the future.
Ana, njegova sestra, bila je uzbuđena i nervozna.
Ana, his sister, was excited and nervous.
Oči su joj tražile njegov lik među putnicima.
Her eyes searched for his figure among the travelers.
Pet godina brige o roditeljima donijele su svoje breme, ali nada u ponovni susret s bratom grijala joj je dušu.
Five years of caring for their parents had taken its toll, but the hope of reuniting with her brother warmed her soul.
Petar, Lukin najbolji prijatelj iz djetinjstva, sada je radio na aerodromu.
Petar, Luka's best childhood friend, now worked at the airport.
Njegovo poznato lice donijelo je Ani osjećaj mira.
His familiar face brought Ana a sense of peace.
Dok su se vrata otvarala, Luka se pojavio s osmijehom.
As the doors opened, Luka appeared with a smile.
Toplina u njegovom srcu bila je jača od bilo kojeg straha ili nesigurnosti.
The warmth in his heart was stronger than any fear or uncertainty.
Zastao je nekoliko trenutaka, odvažio se i krenuo prema Ani.
He paused for a few moments, composed himself, and walked toward Ana.
Petar ih je promatrao s distance, osjetivši važnost trenutka.
Petar watched them from a distance, sensing the importance of the moment.
Ana i Luka susreli su se na sredini dvorane.
Ana and Luka met in the middle of the hall.
Zagrlile su ga njene ruke, onako kako ni jedna riječ nije mogla učiniti.
Her arms hugged him in a way that no word could.
No, duboko u sebi, znao je da treba riječi.
Yet, deep down, he knew words were needed.
Trebalo je premostiti tihi jaz koji je vrijeme iskopalo među njima.
It was necessary to bridge the silent gap that time had carved between them.
"Oprosti," izgovorio je Luka, čija je težina riječi bila očita.
"I'm sorry," said Luka, the weight of his words evident.
Ana ga je pogledala, u očima je bio sjaj suza, ali na licu osmijeh.
Ana looked at him, tears shining in her eyes, but a smile on her face.
"Znam koliko ti je bilo teško," rekla je tiho, "ali sad si ovdje.
"I know how hard it was for you," she said softly, "but now you're here."
"Razgovor između brata i sestre bio je pun emocija.
The conversation between brother and sister was full of emotions.
Luka je saznao o svim trenucima koje je Ana proživjela sama.
Luka learned about all the moments Ana had lived through alone.
O odgovornostima koje je preuzela dok je on bio daleko.
About the responsibilities she had taken on while he was away.
Njihov razgovor trajao je godinama.
Their conversation spanned years.
Svaka riječ slagala je razlomljene dijelove njihove prošlosti na novo mjesto.
Each word placed broken pieces of their past into a new position.
Kako su prolazili kroz zračnu luku prema izlazu, osjećali su se lakše.
As they walked through the airport toward the exit, they felt lighter.
Petar im se pridružio i troje prijatelja nastavilo je hodati zajedno, dok je sunce ulazilo kroz velike prozore dvorane, obasjavajući ih nadom i novim početkom.
Petar joined them, and the three friends continued to walk together as the sun streamed through the large windows of the hall, illuminating them with hope and a new beginning.
Obitelj je opet bila zajedno.
The family was together again.
A Luka, promijenjen i pun empatije, znao je da su njegova sestra i obitelj uvijek bili njegov najvažniji dom.
And Luka, changed and full of empathy, knew that his sister and family had always been his most important home.
