Svi su se okupili u velikoj obiteljskoj kući spremni za proslavu Martinja.

Everyone gathered in the large family house ready to celebrate Martinja.

Kuća je bila topla i ispunjena mirisom kuhane hrane.

The house was warm and filled with the smell of cooked food.

Jesenska dekoracija, lišće i grožđe ukrašavali su prostranu blagovaonicu.

Autumn decorations, leaves, and grapes adorned the spacious dining room.

Ivana je s olovkom i papirom u ruci hodala po kuhinji.

Ivana walked around the kitchen with a pencil and paper in hand.

Osjećala je pritisak.

She felt the pressure.

Željela je da sve prođe savršeno, da bi Ana, njihova majka, mogla uživati u prazniku bez stresa.

She wanted everything to go perfectly, so that Ana, their mother, could enjoy the holiday without stress.

Mateo je sjedio na stolcu, bezbrižno gledajući kroz prozor.

Mateo sat on a chair, carelessly looking out the window.

"Mateo, možeš li pomoći postaviti stol?

"Mateo, can you help set the table?"

" upitala je Ivana.

Ivana asked.

Mateo se nasmijao.

Mateo laughed.

"Naravno, Ivana.

"Sure, Ivana.

Ali prvo pijem sok.

But first, I’m drinking juice."

"Ana je bila zauzeta mijenjanjem planova u zadnji čas.

Ana was busy changing plans at the last minute.

"Ivana, možeš li dodati još jednu juhu na jelovnik?

"Ivana, can you add another soup to the menu?"

" Ivana je duboko udahnula.

Ivana took a deep breath.

"Naravno, mama," odgovorila je, iako su već imali previše posla.

"Of course, mom," she replied, even though they already had too much to do.

Kad je sve bilo spremno, gosti su počeli pristizati.

When everything was ready, the guests began to arrive.

Mateo je zabavljao goste vicevima i pričama, a Ivana je shvatila da Mateo sjajno radi ono što najbolje zna – podići raspoloženje.

Mateo entertained them with jokes and stories, and Ivana realized that Mateo was great at what he does best—lifting the mood.

Tijekom večere, neočekivani gosti su se pojavili.

During dinner, unexpected guests appeared.

Ivana se ukočila na trenutak, ali brzo se snašla.

Ivana froze for a moment but quickly adapted.

Pospremila je stol, dodala tanjure i osmjehnula se.

She cleared the table, added plates, and smiled.

"Dobrodošli, drago mi je što ste ovdje.

"Welcome, I'm glad you're here."

"Privodili su kraju večeru.

They were wrapping up dinner.

Gosti su uživali, smijeh je ispunjavao prostoriju.

The guests enjoyed themselves, laughter filled the room.

Ana je bila opuštena, zadovoljno gledajući svu svoju djecu i rodbinu na okupu.

Ana was relaxed, contentedly watching all her children and relatives gathered together.

Na kraju večeri, Ivana se nasmijala.

At the end of the evening, Ivana laughed.

Naučila je važnu lekciju.

She had learned an important lesson.

Za savršeno slavlje, nije potrebno sve savršeno isplanirati.

For a perfect celebration, not everything needs to be perfectly planned.

Mateo ju je zagrlio s osmijehom.

Mateo hugged her with a smile.

"Rekao sam ti da će sve biti u redu.

"I told you everything would be alright."

"Ivana je zaključila da se ne može sve kontrolirati, ali je važno uživati u trenucima koji dolaze.

Ivana concluded that not everything can be controlled, but it's important to enjoy the moments as they come.

Martinje je prava prilika za to, a večer je završila uspješno.

Martinje is the perfect occasion for that, and the evening ended successfully.

Svi su bili sretni, a Ivana je, po prvi put, osjetila pravi spokoj.

Everyone was happy, and for the first time, Ivana felt true peace.
