Na užurbanom stolu u kafiću u središtu Zagreba, proljeće je bujalo vani, a unutra je miris svježe kave ispunjavao zrak.
On the bustling table in a café in the center of Zagreb, spring was blooming outside, and inside the air was filled with the fragrance of fresh coffee.
Ivana, Luka, i Marin sjedili su za stolom, okruženi prijateljima i šarolikom gomilom ljudi.
Ivana, Luka, and Marin sat at the table, surrounded by friends and a colorful crowd of people.
Atmosfera je bila vesela i opuštena, a zvuci smijeha i razgovora nisu prestajali.
The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed, with the sounds of laughter and conversation never ceasing.
Ivana je s nestrpljenjem promatrala kako Luka i Marin miješaju špil karata.
Ivana eagerly watched as Luka and Marin shuffled a deck of cards.
Oni su bili iskusni igrači pokera.
They were experienced poker players.
Ivana je željela pokazati da i ona zna igrati, iako joj igra nije bila sasvim jasna.
Ivana wanted to show that she, too, knew how to play, even though the game wasn't entirely clear to her.
Nije htjela priznati svoju zbunjenost.
She didn't want to admit her confusion.
Umjesto toga, odlučila je slijediti intuiciju i malo improvizirati.
Instead, she decided to follow her intuition and improvise a little.
"Stavimo sve na stol," rekao je Luka, smiješeći se samopouzdano.
"Let's put it all on the table," said Luka, smiling confidently.
Karte su podijeljene.
The cards were dealt.
Ivana je gledala svoje karte, pokušavajući izgledati tajanstveno kao što je vidjela u filmovima.
Ivana looked at her cards, trying to appear mysterious as she had seen in movies.
Marin je, kao i uvijek, bio raspoložen za šalu i nije ozbiljno shvaćao igru.
Marin, as always, was in the mood for jokes and didn't take the game seriously.
Smijao se glasno, razveseljavajući društvo svojim dosjetkama.
He laughed loudly, entertaining the group with his wit.
Ivana je veselo slijedila tok igre, ali ubrzo je postala očito da njen stil igre nije uobičajen.
Ivana cheerfully followed the flow of the game, but it soon became apparent that her style of play was unconventional.
Svoju strategiju bazirala je na vlastitoj igri s pravilima nalik bingu.
She based her strategy on her own game with rules similar to bingo.
S vremena na vrijeme uzvikivala je "Treće!
From time to time, she would shout "Third!"
" kad bi dobila par karata.
when she got a pair of cards.
Uzbuđenje je raslo, a nakon što je niz hrabrih poteza doveo do napetog trenutka, Ivana je odlučila riskirati sve.
The excitement grew, and after a series of bold moves led to a tense moment, Ivana decided to risk it all.
Kad je konačno dobila kombinaciju koja joj se činila povoljnom, nije mogla sakriti uzbuđenje.
When she finally got a combination that seemed favorable to her, she couldn't hide her excitement.
Uzdignutih ruku, uzviknula je: "Bingo!
With her hands raised, she shouted, "Bingo!"
"Luka i Marin su zastali, oči pune zbunjenosti.
Luka and Marin paused, their eyes full of confusion.
Cijeli stol je na trenutak utihnuo, a zatim je izbila grmljavina smijeha.
The whole table fell silent for a moment, then burst into a thunder of laughter.
Marin se smejao do suza, a Luka je klimnuo glavom shvaćajući što se dogodilo.
Marin laughed until tears came, and Luka nodded his head, understanding what had happened.
"Draga Ivana," rekao je Luka blago, "mislim da miješaš igre.
"My dear Ivana," Luka said gently, "I think you're mixing up games.
Ovo je poker, ne bingo.
This is poker, not bingo."
"Ivana je pocrvenjela, ali ubrzo se i sama počela smijati.
Ivana blushed, but soon began to laugh as well.
Smijeh je bio zarazan, i uskoro su se svi smijali zajedno.
The laughter was contagious, and soon everyone was laughing together.
Luka je zatim počeo objašnjavati pravila pokera, strpljivo i s osmijehom.
Luka then started to explain the rules of poker, patiently and with a smile.
Ivana je osjetila olakšanje.
Ivana felt relieved.
Shvatila je da je u redu ne znati sve i da su prijatelji tu da pomognu.
She realized it was okay not to know everything and that friends were there to help.
Osjećala se ugodnije u vlastitoj koži, sretna što je dio skupine bez obzira na svoje vještine u igri.
She felt more comfortable in her own skin, happy to be part of the group regardless of her skills in the game.
Café je i dalje bio ispunjen ljudima i užurbanom atmosferom, ali za Ivaninim stolom vladala je toplina i prijateljstvo.
The café was still filled with people and a bustling atmosphere, but around Ivana's table, there was warmth and friendship.
Proljeće je nastavljalo svoje širenje kroz Zagreb, a unatoč nesporazumima i smiješnim trenutcima, Ivana je znala da je na pravom mjestu, okružena pravim ljudima.
Spring was continuing its spread through Zagreb, and despite misunderstandings and funny moments, Ivana knew she was in the right place, surrounded by the right people.
