Kilogrami šarenog lišća padali su na tlo, dok su vjetrovi jeseni ispunjavali zrak.

Kilograms of colorful leaves fell to the ground as the autumn winds filled the air.

Nebo je bilo plavo, bez oblaka.

The sky was blue and cloudless.

Urban Jungle, velika zelena oaza usred gradskog kaosa, čekala je one koji su htjeli pobjeći od užurbanog gradskog života.

Urban Jungle, a large green oasis amidst the city's chaos, awaited those who wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Maja je uvijek živjela za ovakve dane.

Maja always lived for days like these.

Njena ljubav prema avanturama bila je zarazna.

Her love for adventures was contagious.

Vedran je, s druge strane, bio oprezan.

Vedran, on the other hand, was cautious.

Uvijek je razmišljao dva puta prije nego što nešto učini.

He always thought twice before doing anything.

No, cijenio je prijateljstvo s Majom.

However, he valued his friendship with Maja.

Zato je odlučio pratiti je kroz Urban Jungle, iako nije bio uvjeren u sigurnost avanture.

That's why he decided to join her through Urban Jungle, even though he wasn’t convinced of the adventure's safety.

Zabrinutost mu se pojačala kada je saznao da je Maja nedavno uganula gležanj.

His concern intensified when he learned that Maja had recently sprained her ankle.

"Maja, jesi li sigurna da želiš ići danas?

"Maja, are you sure you want to go today?"

" upitao je Vedran, zabrinuto gledajući njeno lice.

Vedran asked, looking at her face with concern.

"Neboj se, Vedrane.

"Don't worry, Vedran.

Mogu ja to.

I can handle it.

Malo boli, ali izdržat ću," odgovori Maja s osmijehom koji je skrivao pravu bol.

It hurts a little, but I'll endure," Maja replied with a smile that hid the real pain.

Počeli su hodati stazom, vijugajući između visokih stabala s lišćem u svim bojama jeseni.

They started walking along the path, weaving between tall trees with leaves in every autumn color.

U početku je sve išlo dobro, ali kako su prolazili jedna skretanja za drugom, Maja je počela usporavati.

Initially, everything went well, but as they took one turn after another, Maja began to slow down.

Na svakom koraku njeno lice se mrvilo od boli, iako se trudila sakriti svoj loš trenutak.

With each step, her face showed signs of pain, even though she tried to hide her discomfort.

Vedran nije mogao ignorirati njezine tihe uzdahe.

Vedran couldn't ignore her quiet sighs.

"Majo, možemo stati," predložio je tiho, no njegov je glas bio čvrst.

"Maja, we can stop," he suggested quietly, yet his voice was firm.

Maja se nasmijala, pokušavajući biti hrabra.

Maja laughed, trying to be brave.

"Ne, ne.

"No, no.

Samo malo dalje.

Just a bit further.

Sigurno postoji nešto nevjerojatno iza ovoga," insistirala je dok se čvrsto držala za svog prijatelja.

There must be something amazing beyond this," she insisted, holding tightly to her friend.

No, ubrzo nakon toga, morali su se suočiti s stvarnošću.

But soon after, they had to face the reality.

Gležanj ju je previše bolio da bi nastavila.

Her ankle hurt too much to continue.

Oni stadoše usred staze, drveće oko njih tvoreći tiho zaklon.

They stopped in the middle of the path, with the trees around them forming a silent shelter.

"Majo, stvarno moramo stati," Vedran je bio ozbiljan.

"Maja, we really have to stop," Vedran was serious.

Sada više nije mogao gledati njezine bolne izraze.

He could no longer bear to see her pained expressions.

U očima Maje počela su se pojavljivati suze.

Tears began to appear in Maja's eyes.

"Žao mi je," priznala je konačno.

"I'm sorry," she finally admitted.

"Previše boli.

"It hurts too much."

"Nakon tog teškog priznavanja, dvojac odlučuje se okrenuti i polako krenuti natrag.

After that difficult admission, the duo decided to turn around and slowly head back.

No, na tom putu shvate da je taj njihov usporeni ritam otkrio skriveni vrt.

However, on their way, they realized that their slowed pace had revealed a hidden garden.

Predivan, s živopisnim cvijećem i malim jezerom u sredini.

Beautiful, with vibrant flowers and a small lake in the middle.

Maja zaboravi bol na trenutak i nasmiješi se Vedranu.

Maja forgot the pain for a moment and smiled at Vedran.

"Pogledaj što smo pronašli," rekla je, diveći se ljepoti oko sebe.

"Look what we've found," she said, admiring the beauty around her.

U tom vrtu, oboje su pronašli novu perspektivu.

In that garden, both found a new perspective.

Maja je naučila prihvatiti svoje granice, a Vedran je shvatio važnost balansa između opreza i avanture.

Maja learned to accept her limits, and Vedran realized the importance of balancing caution and adventure.

Da su nastavili brže, možda nikada ne bi otkrili ovaj skriveni kutak Urban Junglea.

Had they continued faster, they might never have discovered this hidden corner of Urban Jungle.

Zajedno, polako ali sretno, krenuli su prema izlazu, vrativši se kući s novim poštovanjem prema prirodi i međusobnom prijateljstvu.

Together, slowly but happily, they headed toward the exit, returning home with a new respect for nature and their mutual friendship.
