Plitvička jezera rano ljetno jutro.

Plitvička jezera, early summer morning.

Sunce je svjetlucalo na plavim jezerima.

The sun sparkled on the blue lakes.

Priroda je bila mirna, kao da čeka nešto važno.

Nature was calm, as if waiting for something important.

Ivana je stajala na drvenom mostu, gledajući slapove kako prelijevaju.

Ivana stood on a wooden bridge, watching the waterfalls overflow.

Udaljenost između nje i obitelji postajala je poput tih voda - nepredvidiva i snažna.

The distance between her and her family was becoming like those waters - unpredictable and powerful.

Ivana je željela obnoviti veze koje su se izgubile.

Ivana wanted to restore the connections that were lost.

Njezina ljubav prema obitelji bila je duboka, ali prošlost je bila teška.

Her love for her family was deep, but the past was difficult.

Brat Marko i sestrična Ana došli su na obiteljski piknik.

Her brother Marko and cousin Ana came for a family picnic.

Ivana se nadala da će to biti prilika za novi početak.

Ivana hoped it would be an opportunity for a new beginning.

Marko je namještao dekicu ispod hrasta.

Marko was laying out a blanket under the oak tree.

"Lijep je dan," rekao je, ali njegova je tišina govorila više od riječi.

"It's a beautiful day," he said, but his silence spoke more than words.

Ana je razgledavala krajolik, povremeno bacivši pogled na Ivanu, kao da pita "Što sad?".

Ana was surveying the landscape, occasionally glancing at Ivana, as if asking, "What now?".

Dok se širila aroma sendviča i kolača, napetost je rasla.

As the aroma of sandwiches and cakes spread, the tension grew.

Ivana je znala da mora nešto učiniti.

Ivana knew she had to do something.

Obrati se obitelji iskreno: "Želim razgovarati." Glas joj je bio miran, ali odlučan.

She addressed her family sincerely, "I want to talk." Her voice was calm but determined.

Sjeli su uz slap, gdje zvuk vode pokriva svaki šapat.

They sat by the waterfall, where the sound of water covered every whisper.

Ivana je duboko udahnula.

Ivana took a deep breath.

"Prošlo je predugo. Žao mi je što sam vas udaljila," počela je.

"It's been too long. I'm sorry for pushing you away," she began.

Pogledala je Marka u oči.

She looked Marko in the eyes.

"Nisam želela da budemo stranci."

"I never wanted us to be strangers."

Marko se premjestio na mjestu.

Marko shifted in his spot.

"I ja nosim ljutnju," priznao je.

"I carry anger too," he admitted.

"Ali više ne želim to."

"But I don't want it anymore."

Ana je šutjela, slušajući.

Ana remained silent, listening.

Konačno, rekla je: "Obitelj smo. Moramo pokušati bolje."

Finally, she said, "We are family. We must try harder."

Razgovor se nastavio, lagan kao povjetarac.

The conversation continued, as light as the breeze.

Ivana je podijelila svoje snove, Marko svoja nadanja, Ana svoje strahove.

Ivana shared her dreams, Marko his hopes, Ana her fears.

Polako, riječi su postale most.

Slowly, words became a bridge.

Kad su se vratili na dekicu, sve je bilo drugačije.

When they returned to the blanket, everything was different.

Smijali su se, dijelili uspomene, osjećali se bliže nego ikad prije.

They laughed, shared memories, feeling closer than ever before.

Sunce je počelo zalaziti, osvjetljavajući njihov trenutak pomirenja.

The sun began to set, illuminating their moment of reconciliation.

Ivana se ovog puta kući vraćala s osmijehom.

Ivana returned home this time with a smile.

Osjetila je novu hrabrost i nadu.

She felt newfound courage and hope.

Obitelj je bila složena, ali i dragocjena.

Family was complicated, but also precious.

Zajedno će uspjeti.

Together they would succeed.

Kraj dana bio je savršeno miran, baš kao i vode Plitvičkih jezera.

The end of the day was perfectly peaceful, just like the waters of Plitvička jezera.

Ivana je znala - ovo je početak.

Ivana knew - this was the beginning.

Ali pravi početak.

But a true beginning.
