Story Transcript:
Hr: Petar je sjedio u svojoj sobi, gledajući kroz prozor na vrt pun jesenskog lišća.
En: Petar was sitting in his room, looking out the window at the garden full of autumn leaves.
Hr: Bio je ljut na sebe.
En: He was angry with himself.
Hr: Prije nekoliko tjedana, ozlijedio je nogu i sada se morao osloniti na štake.
En: A few weeks ago, he had injured his leg and now had to rely on crutches.
Hr: Njegova sestra Ivana mu je stalno govorila da uspori i pazi na sebe, ali on je bio tvrdoglav.
En: His sister, Ivana, constantly told him to slow down and take care of himself, but he was stubborn.
Hr: Nije želio biti teret obitelji.
En: He didn't want to be a burden to the family.
Hr: U velikoj obiteljskoj kući, sve je bilo toplo i ugodno.
En: In the large family house, everything was warm and cozy.
Hr: Miris domaće juhe širio se iz kuhinje, gdje je sestra Ana pripremala večeru.
En: The smell of homemade soup wafted from the kitchen, where his sister Ana was preparing dinner.
Hr: Petar je čuo njih dvoje kako tiho razgovaraju u blagovaonici.
En: Petar could hear the two of them quietly talking in the dining room.
Hr: "Danas ćemo imati obiteljsku večeru," rekla je Ana glasno, tako da ju je Petar mogao čuti.
En: "Today we'll have a family dinner," Ana said loudly so that Petar could hear.
Hr: "Budemo zajedno.
En: "Let's be together."
Hr: "Petar je nevoljko pristao.
En: Petar reluctantly agreed.
Hr: Obiteljske večere bile su važne, ali on nije želio da ga sažalijevaju.
En: Family dinners were important, but he didn't want to be pitied.
Hr: Nosio je teret želje da sam sebi dokaže da može sve.
En: He bore the burden of wanting to prove to himself that he could do everything.
Hr: Kad je večera počela, Petar je polako hodao prema stolu.
En: When dinner began, Petar slowly walked to the table.
Hr: Svi su već sjedili.
En: Everyone was already seated.
Hr: Uzeo je stolicu s kraja stola, izbjegavajući poglede sažaljenja.
En: He took a chair at the end of the table, avoiding looks of pity.
Hr: Ivana je donijela veliku zdjelu tople juhe i stavila je nasred stola.
En: Ivana brought a large bowl of hot soup and placed it in the middle of the table.
Hr: Dok su svi uživali u obroku, Petar je pokušavao zaboraviti bol u nozi.
En: While everyone enjoyed the meal, Petar tried to forget the pain in his leg.
Hr: Želio je pomoći postaviti stol za desert, ali kad je ustao, osjetio je jaku bol.
En: He wanted to help set the table for dessert, but when he stood up, he felt sharp pain.
Hr: Njegova štaka pala je na tlo, a on je izgubio ravnotežu.
En: His crutch fell to the floor, and he lost his balance.
Hr: Ivana i Ana brzo su skočile da mu pomognu, ali Petar je bio frustriran.
En: Ivana and Ana quickly jumped to help him, but Petar was frustrated.
Hr: Znao je da je previše forsirao sebe.
En: He knew he had pushed himself too hard.
Hr: Stao je pred svoju obitelj, očiju punih srama.
En: He stood before his family, eyes full of shame.
Hr: "Žao mi je," rekao je tiho.
En: "I'm sorry," he said quietly.
Hr: "Trebam vas.
En: "I need you.
Hr: Nisam želio prihvatiti to, ali trebam vašu pomoć.
En: I didn't want to accept it, but I need your help."
Hr: "Ivana ga je nježno zagrlila.
