Na Silvestrovo, hladni vjetrovi su prekrivali Zagreb snijegom, tjerajući većinu ljudi u toplinu svojih domova.

On New Year's Eve, cold winds covered Zagreb with snow, driving most people into the warmth of their homes.

Maja je, međutim, sjedila na drvenoj klupi u užurbanom hodniku zagrebačke policijske postaje.

Maja, however, was sitting on a wooden bench in the bustling hallway of the Zagreb police station.

Sjena neonskih svjetala oštro je pala na njezino lice dok je čekala razgovor s inspektorom.

The shadow of neon lights cast sharply on her face as she awaited a conversation with the inspector.

Bio je to dan kad je trebala uživati s obitelji.

It was a day she was supposed to enjoy with her family.

Ipak, tu je bila, zategnuta i nervozna.

Yet, here she was, tense and nervous.

Vrijedna obiteljska relikvija, dragi starinski sat, nestao je nekoliko dana prije.

A valuable family heirloom, a dear antique clock, had disappeared a few days prior.

Sat je pripadao njezinom pradjedi.

The clock belonged to her great-grandfather.

Pričalo se da skriva tajnu povijesti njihove obitelji.

It was said to hold a secret of their family history.

Dok su se blagdanski pozdravi i trubljenje automobila čuli izvana, Maja je marljivo pretraživala u mislima svaki kutak kuće.

While holiday greetings and car horns could be heard outside, Maja diligently searched her mind through every corner of the house.

Objasnila je policajcima razloge svoje zabrinutosti, nadajući se da će oni razumjeti.

She explained to the police her reasons for concern, hoping they would understand.

Nažalost, dežurni policajac Luka samo je slegnuo ramenima.

Unfortunately, the officer on duty, Luka, only shrugged.

"Možda ste ga samo zametnuli," rekao je s osmijehom koji je trebao biti umirujući, ali Majina napetost je ostala.

"Maybe you just misplaced it," he said with a smile that was meant to be reassuring, but Maja's tension remained.

Ivanin glas, njezina rođakinja s druge strane hodnika, uveseljavao je policijske službenike pričajući šale dok je čekala na zapisnik za proslavu.

Ivana's voice, her cousin from the other side of the hallway, was entertaining the police officers with jokes while she waited for a report for the celebration.

Nije znala da je možda bila ključ Majina problema.

She didn't know she might have been the key to Maja's problem.

Maja nije mogla čekati da policija pokrene istragu.

Maja couldn't wait for the police to start the investigation.

Njena obitelj brzo bi napustila Zagreb nakon praznika.

Her family would soon be leaving Zagreb after the holidays.

Morala je djelovati.

She had to act.

Odlučila je sama istražiti.

She decided to investigate herself.

Njeno srce kucalo je ubrzano dok je pristupala obiteljskim foto albumima i nasumičnim zapisima.

Her heart raced as she approached family photo albums and random notes.

Svaki detalj mogao bi biti značajan.

Every detail could be significant.

Prišla je članovima obitelji na okupljanju, prikupljajući anegdote.

She approached family members at the gathering, collecting anecdotes.

Neki su bili iznenađeni, drugi su bili sretni podijeliti sjećanja.

Some were surprised, others were happy to share memories.

Maja je konačno došla do Ivane, djevojke s očima koje su pretraživale sobu tražeći zabavu.

Maja finally reached Ivana, a girl whose eyes scanned the room for fun.

"Jesi li možda vidjela pradjedičin sat?

"Have you by any chance seen great-grandfather's clock?"

" upitala je Maja s dozom nade.

Maja asked with a hint of hope.

Ivana se pomakla, izgleda da shvaća što se događa.

Ivana shifted, seeming to realize what was going on.

"Oh, taj sat!

"Oh, that clock!"

" rekla je Ivana uz osmijeh.

Ivana said with a smile.

"Uzela sam ga kako bih popravila mehanizam.

"I took it to fix the mechanism.

Mislila sam da bi baka bila sretna vidjeti ga u ispravnom stanju na Novu godinu.

I thought grandma would be happy to see it in working order for the New Year."

"Maja je bila šokirana, ali kad je Ivana izvukla obnovljeni sat iz torbe, njen bijes se pretvorio u razumijevanje.

Maja was shocked, but when Ivana pulled the restored clock from her bag, her anger turned to understanding.

Sat je blistao i radio točno kao što bi trebalo.

The clock gleamed and worked just as it should.

Na kraju, Maja je dočekala Novu godinu s obitelji, držeći sat i osjećajući se bliže svim svojim članovima.

In the end, Maja welcomed the New Year with her family, holding the clock and feeling closer to all her members.

Naučila je vrijednu lekciju o povjerenju i zajedništvu.

She learned a valuable lesson about trust and togetherness.

Priča iz prošlosti stvorila je nove veze u sadašnjosti.

A story from the past created new bonds in the present.

Sretno su proslavili dolazak Nove godine dok su se pahulje snijega nježno spuštale na tlo.

They happily celebrated the arrival of the New Year as snowflakes gently fell to the ground.

Maja je osjetila da bi ova godina mogla donijeti samo najbolje njezinoj obitelji.

Maja felt that this year could only bring the best for her family.
