Bijeli snijeg pokrio je krov i polja oko velike obiteljske kuće.

The white snow covered the roof and the fields around the large family house.

Kuća je stajala usamljena, ali ponosna.

The house stood alone but proud.

U njoj su živjeli Miloš i Katarina.

In it lived Miloš and Katarina.

Miloš je bio najstariji sin.

Miloš was the oldest son.

Volio je kuću i sve što ona predstavlja.

He loved the house and everything it represented.

Katarina, njegova mlađa sestra, sanjala je o životu u gradu.

Katarina, his younger sister, dreamed of living in the city.

Unutra, stari štednjak je širio toplinu, ali međusobna hladnoća između njih bila je opipljiva.

Inside, the old stove spread warmth, but the mutual coldness between them was palpable.

Miloš je pažljivo gledao kroz prozor.

Miloš watched carefully through the window.

Vidio je svoje djetinjstvo, obiteljske radosti, tradicije kojima je kuća svjedočila.

He saw his childhood, family joys, traditions that the house had witnessed.

Katarina je sjedila za stolom, šutjela.

Katarina sat at the table, silent.

Srce joj je bilo u gradu, među svjetlima, među mogućnostima.

Her heart was in the city, among the lights, among the opportunities.

„Treba li prodati kuću?“ pita Katarina tiho, ali odlučno.

"Should we sell the house?" Katarina asked quietly but determinedly.

Miloševe oči su se suzile.

Miloš's eyes narrowed.

„Zašto prodati? Ovo je naš dom. Naša prošlost.“ izjavio je s tugom.

"Why sell? This is our home. Our past," he stated with sorrow.

Katarina uzdahne.

Katarina sighed.

„Želim nešto više. Želim život koji grad nudi. Što ima ovdje? Samo sjećanja.“

"I want something more. I want the life the city offers. What's here? Just memories."

Miloš uzvrati: „Ali sjećanja su važna. Ovdje smo rasli. Ovdje su naši korijeni.“

Miloš replied, "But memories are important. We grew up here. Our roots are here."

Kuhinja je bila njihova pozornica.

The kitchen was their stage.

Svaka izgovorena riječ bila je važna.

Every spoken word was important.

Napetost je rasla.

The tension grew.

Katarina ustane, pogleda Miloša ravno u oči.

Katarina stood up, looking Miloš straight in the eyes.

„Čini se kao da ne razumiješ. Trebam ovo.“

"It seems like you don't understand. I need this."

Miloš šuti tren.

Miloš was silent for a moment.

Zatim govori: „Ako zaista moraš ići, neka bude tako.

Then he spoke: "If you really must go, so be it.

Ali što ako nađemo rješenje?

But what if we find a solution?

Dio kuće možemo uredit kao prostor za najam.

We can renovate part of the house as a rental space.

Tako ćeš imati novac za grad, ali kuća ostaje naša.“

That way you'll have money for the city, but the house remains ours."

Katarina razmisli.

Katarina thought it over.

Bila je to nova ideja.

It was a new idea.

Kuća bi i dalje bila tu, ali bi podržavala njezine snove.

The house would still be there but would support her dreams.

Nasloni se na sjeverni zid.

She leaned against the northern wall.

„Ako to znači da ćemo oboje biti sretni, pristajem.“

"If it means we'll both be happy, I agree."

Miloš se nasmiješi, napetost se polako rastapala.

Miloš smiled, the tension slowly dissipating.

Shvatio je da je budućnost bila važna kao i tradicija.

He realized that the future was as important as tradition.

Katarina pogleda slike na zidu.

Katarina looked at the pictures on the wall.

Mogla je osjetiti dijelove svoje priče još uvijek tu.

She could feel parts of her story still there.

Tako su brat i sestra pronašli kompromis.

Thus, the brother and sister found a compromise.

Kuća je zadržala svoje mjesto, zakopana pod laganim slojem snijega.

The house kept its place, buried under a light layer of snow.

Katarina je znala da će uvijek imati dom.

Katarina knew she would always have a home.

A Miloš je znao da tradicija može rasti i mijenjati se, a ipak ostati jaka.

And Miloš knew that tradition could grow and change, yet remain strong.

Zima je i dalje bila hladna, ali u kući je bilo toplije nego ikad.

Winter was still cold, but inside the house, it was warmer than ever.

Tradicija i snovi našli su put zajedno.

Tradition and dreams found their way together.
