Mateo je sjedio za svojim stolom u uredu na petom katu visoke poslovne zgrade.

Mateo sat at his desk in the office on the fifth floor of the tall business building.

S prozora je gledao proljetnu vrevu grada ispod sebe.

From the window, he watched the spring hustle of the city below.

Sunce je bacalo sjene na lavirint kabina i konferencijskih soba oko njega.

The sun cast shadows over the maze of cubicles and conference rooms around him.

Mateo je volio svoju rutinu.

Mateo loved his routine.

Brojevi su mu bili prijatelji.

Numbers were his friends.

Ljudi, malo manje.

People, a little less so.

Sutra je bio baby shower za Ivanu, njegovu kolegicu.

Tomorrow was a baby shower for Ivana, his colleague.

Cijeli ured je bio uzbuđen.

The whole office was excited.

Mateo je imao osjećaj nelagode.

Mateo felt uneasy.

Nije znao što pokloniti.

He didn't know what to give as a gift.

Htio je odabrati savršen poklon, nešto što će pokazati da mu je stalo i da je pažljiv kolega.

He wanted to choose the perfect gift, something that would show he cared and that he was a thoughtful colleague.

Zadaci su ga pritiskali.

The tasks were pressing on him.

Projekt je imao kratak rok, ali Mateo je odlučio posvetiti svoju pauzu za ručak potrazi.

The project had a tight deadline, but Mateo decided to dedicate his lunch break to the search.

Uzeo je svoj laptop i počeo pretraživati online recenzije i preporuke.

He took his laptop and began to browse online reviews and recommendations.

Želio je nešto posebno i jedinstveno.

He wanted something special and unique.

No, ništa ga nije uistinu privlačilo.

Yet, nothing truly appealed to him.

Na ulici, proljetni zrak ispunio je Mateov um.

On the street, the spring air filled Mateo's mind.

Hodao je žurno, ali se osjećao izgubljeno.

He walked briskly but felt lost.

Njegov hod ga je odveo do uske ulice gdje je otkrio malu zanatsku trgovinu.

His walk took him to a narrow street where he discovered a small craft shop.

Cvjetni mirisi su se širili iz izloga.

Floral scents wafted from the display window.

Ušao je, očiju punih znatiželje.

He entered, his eyes full of curiosity.

Unutra, na zidu, visili su ručno izrađeni dječji pokrivači.

Inside, on the wall, hung handmade baby blankets.

Jedan od njih bio je šivan svijetlim, veselih boja, idealan za proljeće.

One of them was sewn with bright, cheerful colors, ideal for spring.

Srce mu je zaigralo.

His heart leaped.

Znao je da je to ono.

He knew this was the one.

Mateo je kupio pokrivač i vratio se u ured.

Mateo bought the blanket and returned to the office.

Uzeo je komadić papira i napisao osobnu bilješku za Ivanu: "Neka te ovo vodi kroz nove avanture s tvojim malim suncekom.

He took a piece of paper and wrote a personal note for Ivana: "May this guide you through new adventures with your little sunshine."

" Stavivši poklon u torbu, bio je spreman za sutrašnji dan.

Putting the gift in a bag, he was ready for the next day.

Na baby showeru, Mateo je nervozno predao svoj poklon.

At the baby shower, Mateo nervously handed over his gift.

Ivana ga je otvorila, a osmijeh joj je osvijetlio lice.

Ivana opened it, and a smile lit up her face.

Ostali kolege su se okupili, diveći se njegovom odabiru.

The other colleagues gathered around, admiring his choice.

"Ovo je predivno, hvala ti, Mateo," rekla je Ivana.

"This is wonderful, thank you, Mateo," she said.

Mateo je osjetio val olakšanja.

Mateo felt a wave of relief.

Njegov poklon je bio uspješan.

His gift was a success.

U tom trenutku shvatio je da male geste zaista mogu stvoriti mostove među suradnicima.

In that moment, he realized that small gestures can truly build bridges among coworkers.

Te su ga male pobjede učinile samouvjerenijim.

Those small victories made him more confident.

Shvatio je važnost brige o ljudima oko sebe.

He understood the importance of caring for the people around him.

Dok su se gosti razilazili, Mateov se svijet malo proširio.

As the guests dispersed, Mateo's world expanded a little.

Uzeo je dubok dah i pogledao kroz prozor.

He took a deep breath and looked out the window.

Proljeće je bilo svuda oko njega, jednako svježe i puno novih početaka, baš kao i njegova nova perspektiva.

Spring was all around him, just as fresh and full of new beginnings as his new perspective.
