Mislav je sa svojom mornaričkom torbom stigao na pomorsku bazu u Puli.

Mislav arrived at the naval base in Pula with his navy bag.

Vjetar je nosio žuto lišće po nebu, a more je šumilo nježno udarajući o stijene.

The wind carried yellow leaves across the sky, and the sea was gently crashing against the rocks.

Bio je to njegov prvi dan trotjednog vojnog treninga.

It was his first day of a three-week military training.

Nervozan, ali i uzbuđen, želio je pokazati svoje sposobnosti i ostaviti dobar dojam.

Nervous but also excited, he wanted to showcase his abilities and make a good impression.

Dok je hodao prema zgradi za prijavu, ugledao je Lidiju kako pažljivo proučava staru kartu baze.

As he walked towards the registration building, he spotted Lidija carefully examining an old map of the base.

„Dobar dan,“ osmjehnuo se Mislav.

"Good day," Mislav smiled.

Vidjevši da se bori sa kartom, ponudio je pomoć.

Seeing that she was struggling with the map, he offered his help.

„Trebate pomoć?

"Do you need some help?"

“ Lidija mu se zahvalila.

Lidija thanked him.

Objasnila mu je kako je došla u Pulu istražiti povijest svog djeda, koji je nekad služio u mornarici.

She explained that she came to Pula to research the history of her grandfather, who once served in the navy.

„Želim pronaći priče koje čuvaju njegovo sjećanje,“ rekla je Lidija s ponosom, ali i s dozom strepnje.

"I want to find the stories that preserve his memory," said Lidija with pride, but also with a trace of anxiety.

Mislav je slušao njene riječi i ponudio joj pomoć.

Mislav listened to her words and offered his help.

Znao je ponešto o bazi zahvaljujući pričama starijih mornara.

He knew a little about the base thanks to stories from older sailors.

„Možda poznajem nekoga tko zna više,“ predložio je.

"Maybe I know someone who knows more," he suggested.

Tijekom sljedećih dana, Mislav je začasno prekidao svoje treninge kako bi pomogao Lidiji.

In the following days, Mislav occasionally interrupted his training to help Lidija.

Vodio ju je do starijih mornara i zajedno su razgovarali s njima, tražeći bilo kakav trag o njenom djedu.

He led her to the older sailors, and together they talked with them, looking for any trace of her grandfather.

To mu je bilo izazovno uravnotežiti, ali osjećaj da pomaže Lidiji dao mu je novu motivaciju.

It was challenging for him to balance, but the feeling of helping Lidija gave him new motivation.

Jednog prohladnog jutra, šetajući bazom, otkrili su stari arhiv.

One chilly morning, while walking around the base, they discovered an old archive.

Mislav i Lidija našli su spise, pisma i fotografije Lidijinog djeda.

Mislav and Lidija found documents, letters, and photos of Lidija's grandfather.

Njegova hrabrost otrgnula im je osmijehe i suze radosnice.

His bravery brought smiles and joyful tears to their faces.

Lidija je pronašla svoje priče i osjećala je povezanost s poviješću svoje obitelji.

Lidija found her stories and felt a connection with her family's history.

Mislav se vratio svom treningu s novim samopouzdanjem.

Mislav returned to his training with new confidence.

Na završnom testu bio je među najboljima.

On the final test, he was among the best.

Osjećao je da je Lidijina priča o djedovom herojstvu inspirirala njegov rad.

He felt that Lidija's story of her grandfather's heroism had inspired his work.

Kad je završio s treningom, Mislav i Lidija su zajedno proslavili.

When the training was over, Mislav and Lidija celebrated together.

Ona je ponijela sobom zbirku priča koje je tražila, a Mislav je naučio važnost ravnoteže između vlastitih ambicija i pomaganja drugima.

She took with her a collection of stories she sought, and Mislav learned the importance of balancing his own ambitions with helping others.

Dok je Lidija odlazila, Mislav je znao da je stekao novo prijateljstvo.

As Lidija departed, Mislav knew he had gained a new friendship.

Jesensko sunce polako je zalazilo nad Pulom, obećavajući nove početke za oboje.

The autumn sun slowly set over Pula, promising new beginnings for both of them.
