Prošli tjedan smo se svađali, ali sada smo ovdje."En: "I know you want to talk about us. We argued last week, but now we're here."Hr: Marin je stao ispod drveta.En: Marin stopped under a tree.Hr: Grane su bile gole, kao da slušaju svaku šapat.En: The branches were bare, as if they were listening to every whisper.Hr: "Ivana, volim te. Ali sanjam o životu uz more. Želim pisati, imati mir."En: "Ivana, I love you. But I dream of a life by the sea. I want to write, to have peace."Hr: Ivana je uzdahnula.En: Ivana sighed.Hr: "Znam, Marin. Ali moja karijera je ovdje, u Zagrebu. Arhitektura je moj život. Teško je samo otići."En: "I know, Marin. But my career is here, in Zagreb. Architecture is my life. It's hard to just leave."Hr: Marin je posegnuo za njenom rukom.En: Marin reached for her hand.Hr: Njegov dodir bio je hladan, ali srce toplo.En: His touch was cold, but his heart was warm.Hr: "Mogli bismo zajedno izgraditi nešto lijepo na obali. Možda ne kuće, ali život vrijedan priče."En: "We could build something beautiful together on the coast. Maybe not houses, but a life worth telling."Hr: Ivana je razmišljala.En: Ivana pondered.Hr: Snježne pahulje počele su padati, stvarajući tihi ples oko njih.En: Snowflakes began to fall, creating a silent dance around them.Hr: "Znam, ali želim i dalje graditi ovdje. Imam mnogo planova. Ne želim se odreći svoje karijere."En: "I know, but I still want to build here. I have many plans. I don't want to give up my career."Hr: "Čuo sam te," odgovorio je Marin.En: "I heard you," replied Marin.Hr: "Ali moram znati, hoćeš li doći sa mnom? Želim imati obitelj s tobom, oboje možemo imati svoje snove."En: "But I need to know, will you come with me? I want to have a family with you; we can both have our dreams."Hr: Ivana ga je promovila. "Što ako ostanem? Što će biti s nama?"En: Ivana asked him, "What if I stay? What will happen to us?"Hr: Marinov izraz lica bio je tužan.En: Marin's expression was sad.Hr: "Otići ću za šest mjeseci. Ako ne dođeš, razumjet ću. Ali moram pokušati."En: "I will leave in six months. If you don't come, I will understand. But I have to try."Hr: Nastavili su hodati.En: They continued walking.Hr: Snijeg je šuštao pod njihovim koracima.En: The snow crunched under their steps.Hr: Ivana je osjetila teret odluke na svojim ramenima.En: Ivana felt the weight of the decision on her shoulders.Hr: "Ljubav je važna, ali i moji snovi. Moram ostati."En: "Love is important, but so are my dreams. I have to stay."Hr: Marin je zastao.En: Marin paused.Hr: Pogledao je u nju s nježnošću.En: He looked at her tenderly.Hr: "Volim te dovoljno da te pustim."En: "I love you enough to let you go."Hr: Tada su nastavili hodati.En: Then they continued walking.Hr: Maksimir je bio tih, osim snijega koji je i dalje padao.En: Maksimir was quiet, except for the snow that continued to fall.Hr: Iako su se kretali prema različitim sudbinama, hodali su zajedno još neko vrijeme, puštajući sjećanja da ih grije u zimskom zraku.En: Although they were moving towards different destinies, they walked together a little longer, letting memories warm them in the winter air.
