Luka je stajao na ulazu u Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera.

Luka stood at the entrance to Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Jesenje lišće plesalo je po putu, dok je nježno sunce obasjavalo krajolik.

The autumn leaves danced along the path, while the gentle sun illuminated the landscape.

Bio je to savršen dan za obiteljski izlet.

It was a perfect day for a family outing.

Luka je uvijek volio ovaj godišnji sastanak.

Luka always loved this annual gathering.

Ali ove godine, osjećao je težinu nevidljivog tereta.

But this year, he felt the weight of an invisible burden.

Za njegovim korakom, Ana i Mateo su raspravljali o planovima za rutu.

Behind his steps, Ana and Mateo were discussing plans for their route.

Ana, Lukina mlađa sestra, uvijek je bila organizatorica.

Ana, Luka's younger sister, was always the organizer.

Mateo, njihov rođak, smijao se, uvijek spreman za šalu.

Mateo, their cousin, laughed, always ready for a joke.

"Hoćemo li prvo do Velikog slapa?" predložila je Ana, pokazavši prema putokazu.

"Shall we go to the Veliki Slap first?" suggested Ana, pointing to the signpost.

Luka je kimnuo, pokušavajući zadržati osmijeh na licu.

Luka nodded, trying to keep a smile on his face.

Nije htio da itko primijeti što ga muči.

He didn't want anyone to notice what was troubling him.

Hodajući drvenim stazama, čuo je šuštanje lišća ispod nogu.

Walking along the wooden paths, he heard the rustling leaves underfoot.

Miris borovine ispunjavao je zrak, a zvuk vode koja rominjao stvarao je čaroban sklad.

The scent of pine filled the air, and the sound of water murmuring created a magical harmony.

Grupa je stigla do vidikovca.

The group arrived at the viewpoint.

Pogled na slap oduzimao je dah.

The sight of the waterfall was breathtaking.

Luka se nasmijao, ali iznutra ga je grizla sumnja.

Luka smiled, but inside, doubt was gnawing at him.

Bez posla, osjećao se izgubljeno, ali strah ga je spriječio da to prizna obitelji.

Without a job, he felt lost, but fear kept him from admitting it to his family.

Dok su Ana i Mateo gledali u vodu, Luka je znao da je došlo vrijeme.

While Ana and Mateo looked at the water, Luka knew the time had come.

U glavi mu je odjekivala misao: hoće li ih razočarati?

A thought echoed in his mind: would he disappoint them?

Duboko je udahnuo i osjetio kako srce ubrzano kuca.

He took a deep breath and felt his heart race.

"Potreban mi je razgovor", tiho je rekao.

"I need to talk," he said quietly.

Ana i Mateo su se okrenuli prema njemu.

Ana and Mateo turned towards him.

Osjetio je toplinu od njihove pažnje.

He felt warmth from their attention.

"Što te muči, Luka?" upitala je Ana s brižnim pogledom.

"What’s bothering you, Luka?" Ana asked with a caring look.

Luka je spustio pogled prema jezeru i izgovorio riječi koje su mu ležale na srcu, "Izgubio sam posao."

Luka lowered his gaze to the lake and spoke the words weighing on his heart, "I lost my job."

Na trenutak, šutnja je ispunila zrak.

For a moment, silence filled the air.

Luka je zadržao dah.

Luka held his breath.

Ali tada, osjetio je ruku na ramenu.

But then, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Mateo ga je čvrsto zagrlio.

Mateo hugged him tightly.

"Mi smo tu za tebe", rekao je Mateo mirno.

"We're here for you," Mateo said calmly.

Ana se također pridružila zagrljaju.

Ana also joined the hug.

"Proći ćemo kroz ovo zajedno. Nisi sam."

"We'll get through this together. You're not alone."

Lukin teret odjednom je postao lakši.

Luka's burden suddenly became lighter.

U tom trenutku, shvatio je da obitelj znači podršku u najtežim trenucima.

At that moment, he realized that family means support in the toughest times.

Pogledao je prema vodi koja je i dalje tekla, baš poput njegove nade koja se ponovno razbuktala.

He looked at the water that continued to flow, just like his hope that reignited.

Danas su Plitvička jezera bila više od prirodne ljepote; bila su mjesto obiteljske povezanosti i ljubavi.

Today, Plitvice Lakes were more than a natural beauty; they were a place of family connection and love.

Luka je osjetio duboku zahvalnost.

Luka felt deep gratitude.

Dok su zajedno napuštali vidikovac, svijet je bio svjetliji, a budućnost punija mogućnosti.

As they left the viewpoint together, the world was brighter, and the future was filled with possibilities.

Naučio je cijeniti snagu ranjivosti i vječnu podršku obitelji.

He learned to appreciate the strength of vulnerability and the eternal support of family.
