Ljetna noć u Splitu, a Ivana i Nikola koračaju prema skrivenom klubu u staroj gradskoj četvrti.

A summer night in Split, and Ivana and Nikola are walking towards a hidden club in the old city quarter.

Zvukovi valova dopiru izdaleka.

The sounds of waves reach from afar.

Ulica je mračna, a svjetlost dolazi iz nekoliko uličnih lampi i odsjaja mjeseca.

The street is dark, with light coming from a few street lamps and the glow of the moon.

"Gledaj, Ivana," kaže Nikola tiho.

"Look, Ivana," Nikola says quietly.

"Znaš da ovaj poker nije šala.

"You know this poker isn't a joke.

Oni unutra su ozbiljni igrači.

The people inside are serious players."

"Ivana kima glavom.

Ivana nods.

Srce joj lupa poput bubnja.

Her heart is beating like a drum.

Bez obzira na nervozu, ona zna da može pobijediti.

Despite the nerves, she knows she can win.

Mora.

She has to.

Nakon što je izgubila posao, ovo je njezina prilika da plati stanarinu i ponovno podigne glavu.

After losing her job, this is her chance to pay the rent and hold her head high again.

Kad ulaze u klub, osjećaju opojni miris dima.

As they enter the club, they feel the intoxicating smell of smoke.

Zidovi su obloženi tamnim drvetom, a u sredini sobe veliki, okrugli stol pokriven zelenim suknom.

The walls are lined with dark wood, and in the middle of the room is a large, round table covered with green felt.

Na stolu su čipovi posloženi poput tornjeva.

Chips on the table are stacked like towers.

Igrači šute, u sjeni lampi, dok oči odmah pogledaju njih.

The players are silent, in the shadows of the lamps, while their eyes immediately look at Ivana and Nikola.

Nitko se ovdje ne smiješi.

No one smiles here.

"Ivana, jesi spremna?

"Ivana, are you ready?"

" pita Nikola, gledajući je.

Nikola asks, watching her.

U njegovim očima bljesne malo ponosa.

There's a flicker of pride in his eyes.

"Jesam," odgovara Ivana, iako se osjeća nesigurno.

"I am," replies Ivana, even though she feels uncertain.

"Vrijeme je.

"It's time."

"Sjedaju za stol.

They sit at the table.

Diše duboko, pokušava ignorirati šapat konkurencije.

She breathes deeply, trying to ignore the whispers of the competition.

Mješoviti mirisi cigareta i prašine obavijaju je poput plašta.

The mixed scents of cigarettes and dust envelop her like a cloak.

Nikola promatra iz prikrajka, kao anđeo čuvar.

Nikola watches from the sidelines, like a guardian angel.

Prva runda prolazi dobro.

The first round goes well.

Ivana pažljivo igra, slijedeći instinkt, promatrajući svaki pokret protivnika.

Ivana plays carefully, following her instincts, observing every move of her opponents.

S godinama je naučila da poker nije samo igra karata, već i čitanje ljudi.

Over the years, she's learned that poker is not just a card game, but also about reading people.

Međutim, napetost raste.

However, the tension rises.

Igrači joj bacaju izazovne poglede, pokušavajući je zastrašiti.

Players throw her challenging looks, trying to intimidate her.

Neki čak govore provokativne riječi.

Some even utter provocative words.

Unatoč svemu, Ivana ne odustaje.

Despite everything, Ivana doesn't give up.

Osjeća kako joj adrenalin raste.

She feels her adrenaline rising.

Zna da ovo nije trenutak za strah.

She knows this is not the moment for fear.

Kada dođe vrijeme za odlučujući potez, Ivana drži dobru ruku.

When the time comes for the decisive move, Ivana holds a good hand.

Srce joj opet snažno kuca.

Her heart beats strongly again.

Nikola joj klimne, kao da joj daje nevidljivu podršku.

Nikola nods at her, as if giving her invisible support.

Ona duboko udahne i odlučuje riskirati.

She takes a deep breath and decides to take the risk.

"All in," govori čvrstim glasom.

"All in," she says firmly.

Tišina.

Silence.

Pogledi.

Gazes.

Srce joj sada udara još jače.

Her heart now pounds even harder.

Protivnici otkrivaju svoje karte, a Ivana razotkriva svoju.

The opponents reveal their cards, and Ivana reveals hers.

Do tada su svi mirno sjedili, ali odjednom je zavladala buka.

Until then, everyone had been sitting quietly, but suddenly there's an uproar.

Ivana ima pobjedničku ruku.

Ivana has the winning hand.

Osjećaj nevjerice proširi se prostorijom.

A sense of disbelief spreads through the room.

Nikola pljesne rukama, dok Ivana na licu ima pobjednički osmijeh.

Nikola claps his hands as Ivana wears a victorious smile.

Ona uzima nagradu, slaže novčanice i čipove.

She takes the reward, stacks the bills and chips.

Ali najvažnije, vraća sebi samopouzdanje.

But most importantly, she regains her self-confidence.

Nikola je gleda ponosan, znajući da se isplatilo dovesti je ovamo.

Nikola watches her proudly, knowing it was worth bringing her here.

Dok izlaze iz kluba, Ivana osjeća olakšanje.

As they leave the club, Ivana feels relieved.

Puno je toga učinila večeras.

She has accomplished a lot tonight.

Hendikepirana nesigurnost više nije njezina prepreka.

The handicap of insecurity is no longer her obstacle.

Na ulici, svježi morski povjetarac miluje njezino lice.

On the street, the fresh sea breeze caresses her face.

"Uspjela si, Ivana," kaže Nikola uz osmijeh.

"You did it, Ivana," says Nikola with a smile.

"Uvijek sam znao da možeš.

"I always knew you could."

"Ivana kimne.

Ivana nods.

Sa šarmantnim gradom Splitom iza njih i novim početkom ispred nje, ona je spremna za sve.

With the charming city of Split behind them and a new beginning ahead of her, she's ready for anything.
