U predgrađu Zagreba, proljeće je zeleni plašt raširilo preko naselja.
In the suburbs of Zagreb, spring had spread its green cloak over the neighborhood.
U zraku se osjećao miris procvjetalih tulipana i ljubičica.
The scent of blooming tulips and violets filled the air.
U ulici s uredno posloženim obiteljskim kućama, život je tekao mirno.
In the street lined with neatly arranged family homes, life flowed peacefully.
Ali u srcu Ivana, tišina je bila glasna.
But in the heart of Ivan, the silence was loud.
Ivan je stajao na pragu svog doma, gledajući kako se njegova djeca igraju na travnjaku.
Ivan stood at the threshold of his home, watching his children play on the lawn.
Osjećao je težinu odluke koju je morao donijeti.
He felt the weight of the decision he had to make.
Financijski problemi postajali su sve veći.
Financial problems were becoming more pressing.
Razmišljao je o prodaji kuće i preseljenju u manju unutar iste zajednice.
He contemplated selling the house and moving to a smaller one within the same community.
No, nije bio siguran kako će Ana i Marko to prihvatiti.
But he wasn't sure how Ana and Marko would take it.
Ana ga je promatrala iz kuhinje.
Ana watched him from the kitchen.
Znala je da nešto muči njezinog muža.
She knew something was troubling her husband.
Prišla mu je i nježno ga uhvatila za ruku.
She approached him and gently took his hand.
"Što te brine?
"What's worrying you?"
" upitala je s osmijehom punim razumijevanja.
she asked with a smile full of understanding.
Ivan je uzdahnuo.
Ivan sighed.
"Razmišljam o preseljenju.
"I'm thinking about moving.
Moramo smanjiti troškove.
We need to cut costs."
"Ana se zamislila.
Ana pondered.
"Važno je da smo zajedno, Ivan.
"It's important that we're together, Ivan.
Kuća je samo mjesto.
A house is just a place.
Dom je gdje smo svi zajedno.
Home is where we are all together."
"Te večeri, Ivan je okupio obitelj.
That evening, Ivan gathered the family.
Sjeo je s Anom i Markom za stol, odlučan da otvoreno razgovaraju.
He sat down with Ana and Marko at the table, determined to talk openly.
"Moramo govoriti o budućnosti," rekao je.
"We need to talk about the future," he said.
Marko je podigao glavu.
Marko raised his head.
"Nećemo se seliti, zar ne?
"We're not moving, are we?"
"Ivan je stisnuo usne.
Ivan pressed his lips together.
"Razmišljamo o tome.
"We're considering it.
Moramo paziti na troškove.
We have to watch our expenses."
"Tijekom idućih dana, u naselju se pripremao Zeleni Juraj, proslava dolaska proljeća.
In the following days, the neighborhood was preparing for Zeleni Juraj, a celebration of spring's arrival.
Taj dan bio je savršena prilika za Ivanovu obitelj da zajednički nađe rješenje.
That day was the perfect opportunity for Ivan's family to find a solution together.
Dok su sudjelovali u radostima festivala, okruženi prijateljima i susjedima, Ivan je shvatio nešto važno.
While they participated in the joys of the festival, surrounded by friends and neighbors, Ivan realized something important.
Obitelj mu je bila podrška, a zajednica ih je zbližavala.
His family was his support, and the community brought them closer.
Poslijepodne, dok su plesali oko zelenog gaia, Ivan je pogledao u Anine oči.
In the afternoon, as they danced around the green maypole, Ivan looked into Ana's eyes.
"Možda je vrijeme da se preselimo.
"Maybe it's time to move.
Našli smo mali dom u naselju.
We've found a small home in the neighborhood.
Što mislite?
What do you think?"
"Ana ga je zagrlila.
Ana hugged him.
"Marko će se prilagoditi.
"Marko will adapt.
Važno je da smo svi zajedno.
It's important that we're all together."
"Marko je kimnuo, shvatio je važnost obitelji više nego mjesto gdje spavaju.
Marko nodded, understanding the importance of family more than the place where they sleep.
Tog proljetnog dana, Ivan je našao mir.
On that spring day, Ivan found peace.
Shvatio je da ljubav i razumijevanje čine pravi dom.
He realized that love and understanding make a true home.
Odluka je bila jasna, a njihova budućnost zaštićena.
The decision was clear, and their future was secure.
Preselit će se, ali neće otići daleko.
They would move, but they wouldn't go far.
Ovo je bio početak novog poglavlja s istim ljudima koji mu znače sve.
This was the beginning of a new chapter with the same people who meant everything to him.
