Story Transcript:
Hr: Ivana hodala je stazom Plitvičkih jezera, okružena tihim svijetom okovanim snijegom.
En: Ivana walked along the Plitvička jezera path, surrounded by a silent world bound by snow.
Hr: Nakon užurbanog života u Zagrebu, gdje svaki dan donosi stres i buku, ovaj zimski raj izgledao je poput snova.
En: After the bustling life in Zagreb, where every day brings stress and noise, this winter paradise seemed like a dream.
Hr: S njom su bili prijatelji Miroslav i Nina, oboje uzbuđeni zbog vođenog obilaska parka.
En: With her were friends Miroslav and Nina, both excited about the guided tour of the park.
Hr: Zimski zrak bio je oštar i čist, a crni kape stabala kontrastirale su bijelim prekrivačem snijega.
En: The winter air was sharp and clean, and the dark tops of the trees contrasted with the white blanket of snow.
Hr: Stepenice i staze postajale su sve klizavije, a snijeg padao sve gušće.
En: The steps and paths were becoming increasingly slippery, and the snow was falling more densely.
Hr: Ivana zastane i duboko udahne.
En: Ivana paused and took a deep breath.
Hr: Osjećala je mir, onaj koji je dugo tražila.
En: She felt peace, the kind she had long sought.
Hr: Miroslav potapša Ivanu po ramenu.
En: Miroslav patted Ivana on the shoulder.
Hr: "Sve u redu?
En: "Everything okay?"
Hr: ", pitao je s osmijehom.
En: he asked with a smile.
Hr: Kao da je pročitao njezine misli, dodao je: "Šuma je prekrasna, zar ne?
En: As if he had read her mind, he added, "The forest is beautiful, isn't it?"
Hr: " Ivana klimne.
En: Ivana nodded.
Hr: "Da, baš mi je ovo trebalo", reče tiho.
En: "Yes, this is exactly what I needed," she said quietly.
Hr: No, kako su išli dalje, snijeg je prekrio stazu, otežavajući svaki korak.
En: However, as they went further, the snow covered the path, making each step harder.
Hr: Nina, uvijek optimistična, hvalila je ljepotu prizora, ali Ivana je osjetila bojazan.
En: Nina, always optimistic, praised the beauty of the scene, but Ivana felt apprehension.
Hr: Hoće li prema planu nastaviti cijelu turu ili će se vratiti?
En: Would they continue the entire tour as planned, or would they turn back?
Hr: Kad su stigli do vidikovca, Ivana zastane.
En: When they reached the viewpoint, Ivana stopped.
Hr: Pogled je bio nevjerojatan.
En: The view was incredible.
Hr: Ispod njih je ležao smrznuti slap, okovan ledom, iskrajući na zubatom zimskom suncu.
En: Below them lay a frozen waterfall, bound in ice, sparkling in the harsh winter sun.
Hr: Tada se sve promijenilo.
En: Then everything changed.
Hr: Na tom hladnom mjestu, osjećala je toplinu u srcu.
En: In that cold place, she felt warmth in her heart.
Hr: Tog trenutka, znala je da ne mora ići dalje.
En: In that moment, she knew she didn’t have to go further.
Hr: To je bio cilj - mir u sadašnjem trenutku.
En: This was the goal - peace in the present moment.
Hr: "Nastavit ćemo dalje?
En: "Shall we continue further?"
Hr: ", upita Miroslav.
En: asked Miroslav.
Hr: Ivana pogleda vodopad pa onda svoje prijatelje.
En: Ivana looked at the waterfall, then at her friends.
Hr: "Ne, ostanimo još malo ovdje", odgovori s osmijehom.
En: "No, let's stay a little longer here," she responded with a smile.
