Jesen je stigla u Zagreb.
Autumn has arrived in Zagreb.
Lišće je šuštalo ispod nogu učenika u školskom dvorištu.
Leaves rustled under the feet of students in the school yard.
Luka i Ivana su se šetali stazom prema glavnoj zgradi internata.
Luka and Ivana were walking the path toward the main building of the boarding school.
Stari kameni zidovi bili su prekriveni zlatnim i crvenim lišćem.
The old stone walls were covered with golden and red leaves.
Luka je gledao sestru.
Luka watched his sister.
Ivana je bila mlađa, vesela i neodgovorna, ali uvijek nasmijana.
Ivana was younger, cheerful, and irresponsible, but always smiling.
Voljela je istraživati nove stvari.
She loved exploring new things.
Luka je, s druge strane, osjećao odgovornost.
Luka, on the other hand, felt responsibility.
Njihovi roditelji su radili u inozemstvu, a on je morao paziti na Ivanu.
Their parents worked abroad, and he had to look after Ivana.
Ivana je rekla: "Luka, hoću da idem do potoka iza škole.
Ivana said, "Luka, I want to go to the stream behind the school.
Priča se da je prekrasan sada u jesen.
They say it's beautiful now in autumn."
" Luka je pogledao sestru zabrinuto.
Luka looked at his sister concerned.
"Dobro, ali pazi.
"Alright, but be careful.
Ne idi predaleko i vrati se prije nego što padne mrak", rekao je.
Don't go too far and come back before it gets dark," he said.
Ivana je zgrabila ruksak i trčala prema potoku.
Ivana grabbed her backpack and ran toward the stream.
Luka je promatrao kako nestaje u šumi.
Luka watched as she disappeared into the forest.
Ispod površine svojih misli, želio je da mu bude lakše, bez stalne brige.
Beneath the surface of his thoughts, he wished it would be easier for him, without constant worry.
Međutim, dok je Ivana istraživala, skliznula je i pala.
However, while Ivana was exploring, she slipped and fell.
Iako nije bila ozlijeđena, bila je preplašena.
Although she wasn't hurt, she was scared.
Luka je uskoro čuo vrisak i potrčao prema potoku.
Luka soon heard a scream and ran towards the stream.
Srce mu je brzo tuklo.
His heart beat quickly.
Kada je stigao, uhvatio ju je za ruku i podigao je.
When he arrived, he grabbed her hand and lifted her up.
"Ivana, rekao sam ti da paziš!
"Ivana, I told you to be careful!"
", uzviknuo je, ali u njegovim očima nije bilo ljutnje, samo zabrinutost.
he exclaimed, but in his eyes, there was no anger, only concern.
Ivana je shvatila koliko je Luka bio zabrinut.
Ivana realized how worried Luka had been.
"Oprosti, Luka.
"Sorry, Luka.
Bila sam nepažljiva", rekla je tiho.
I was careless," she said quietly.
On je udahnuo duboko i rekao: "Dobro je, samo sljedeći put budi pažljivija.
He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."
"Kasnije su sjeli ispod hrasta.
Later, they sat under an oak tree.
"Ivana," rekao je Luka, "želim da budeš sretna, ali moram znati da si sigurna.
"Ivana," Luka said, "I want you to be happy, but I need to know you're safe.
Možda možemo pronaći način da oboje budemo zadovoljni.
Maybe we can find a way for us both to be satisfied."
" Ivana se nasmijala: "U redu, dogovoreno.
Ivana smiled: "Alright, deal.
Sljedeći put idem s tobom.
Next time, I'll go with you."
"Taj dogovor donio je mir oboma.
That agreement brought peace to both of them.
Luka je naučio vjerovati sestri, a Ivana je počela cijeniti njegovu brigu.
Luka learned to trust his sister, and Ivana began to appreciate his concern.
Sada su zajedno mogli istraživati kampus.
Now they could explore the campus together.
Jesen u Zagrebu bila je ljepša nego ikad, a odnos između brata i sestre postao snažniji.
Autumn in Zagreb was more beautiful than ever, and the relationship between brother and sister grew stronger.
Kroz šuštanje lišća mogli su čuti kako mladost traži ravnotežu, slobodu i odgovornost.
Through the rustle of leaves, they could hear how youth seeks balance, freedom, and responsibility.
