Snijeg je polako prekrivao stare ulice Dubrovnika, stvarajući prekrasan, ali sklizak pejzaž.

Snow was slowly covering the old streets of Dubrovnik, creating a beautiful yet slippery landscape.

Starogradska jezgra blistala je pod svjetlom fenjera, ukrašena za blagdan Svetog Nikole.

The old town center shone under the light of lanterns, decorated for the holiday of Saint Nicholas.

Snijeg se škripavo uvlačio u Ivane cipele dok je žurila niz popločanu ulicu.

The snow crunched under Ivana's shoes as she hurried down the cobblestone street.

Njen dah bio je spor i težak, ali odlučnost je gurala naprijed.

Her breath was slow and heavy, but determination pushed her forward.

Ivana je držala pismo čvrsto uz prsa.

Ivana held a letter tightly to her chest.

U pismu su bile važne vijesti za Marka.

The letter contained important news for Marko.

Vijesti koje bi mogle promijeniti sve.

News that could change everything.

U daljini su se čule sirene broda.

In the distance, the sound of a ship's sirens could be heard.

Marko je imao otići na brod za daleku plovidbu koja bi potrajala mjesecima.

Marko was about to leave on a ship for a distant voyage that would last months.

U mislima Ivani, nije bilo vremena za gubljenje.

In Ivana's mind, there was no time to lose.

Oblaci su zavladali nebom, donoseći iznenadni snježni nalet.

Clouds took over the sky, bringing an unexpected snow flurry.

Ivana više nije mogla jasno vidjeti put.

Ivana could no longer clearly see the path.

Ipak, nije odustajala.

Still, she didn't give up.

"Mogu ja to," ponavljala je u sebi.

"I can do it," she repeated to herself.

Odlučila je skratiti put kroz uske, skliske uličice.

She decided to shorten her route through the narrow, slippery alleyways.

Bilo je riskantno, ali bila je spremna učiniti sve.

It was risky, but she was ready to do anything.

Dok je prolazila uskom stazom, Ivana je osjetila kako joj noga klizi.

As she passed through a narrow path, Ivana felt her foot slip.

Pala je, a pismo je ispalo iz njenih ruku.

She fell, and the letter slipped from her hands.

Srce joj je stalo.

Her heart stopped.

Brzo je posegnula za njim, hvatajući ga u zadnjem trenutku.

She quickly reached for it, grabbing it at the last moment.

Trebalo je stići na vrijeme.

It needed to arrive in time.

Na kraju puta, Ivana je ugledala luku.

At the end of the path, Ivana saw the harbor.

Vidjela je Marka kako stoji na doku, spreman se ukrcati na brod.

She saw Marko standing on the dock, ready to board the ship.

Uz sve snage, potrčala je prema njemu.

With all her strength, she ran toward him.

Njeno srce udaralo je jače nego ikad.

Her heart was beating harder than ever.

"Marko!

"Marko!"

" povikala je.

she shouted.

Marko se okrenuo, iznenađen njezinim pozivom.

Marko turned, surprised by her call.

Pogledao je u pismo koje mu je pružila.

He looked at the letter she handed him.

Njegovo lice postalo je ozbiljno dok ga je čitao.

His face became serious as he read it.

Vidjevši važnost onoga što je pročitao, odlučio je odgoditi put za jedan dan.

Seeing the importance of what he read, he decided to delay his trip by a day.

Zagrlio je Ivanu, zahvalan što je došla baš na vrijeme.

He embraced Ivana, grateful that she had come just in time.

Dok su stajali zajedno, okruženi bijelim pahuljama, Ivana je shvatila koliko je važno suočiti se s preprekama.

As they stood together, surrounded by white snowflakes, Ivana realized how important it is to face obstacles.

Shvatila je snagu upornosti.

She understood the power of persistence.

Unatoč hladnoći i snijegu, toplo joj je bilo pri srcu.

Despite the cold and the snow, her heart felt warm.

Sutradan će Marko krenuti, ali danas su oboje naučili vrijednost hrabrosti i odlučnosti.

Tomorrow, Marko would depart, but today they both learned the value of courage and determination.

I Dubrovnik, prekriven snijegom, bio je tih svjedok njihove priče.

And Dubrovnik, covered in snow, was a silent witness to their story.
