"Ivana, trebamo li nastaviti?" upitao je.En: Luka raised his forehead. "Ivana, should we continue?" he asked.Hr: Ivana je osjetila knedlu u grlu.En: Ivana felt a lump in her throat.Hr: Pogledala je putokaz, ali snijeg je već prekrio slova.En: She looked at the signpost, but the snow had already covered the letters.Hr: Panično je pokušala osjećati smjer.En: Panicking, she tried to feel the direction.Hr: Vrijeme je počelo igrati protiv njih.En: Time began to play against them.Hr: Hladnoća je prodirala u kosti.En: The cold was piercing to the bones.Hr: „Možda je bolje da stanemo i pronađemo sklonište“, predložila je Ana, umotana u debelu jaknu, trudeći se zagrijati.En: "Maybe it's better to stop and find shelter," suggested Ana, wrapped in a thick jacket, trying to keep warm.Hr: Ivana je zastala.En: Ivana paused.Hr: Odluka je bila teška.En: The decision was tough.Hr: Mogla je nastaviti, vjerujući instinktima, ili pronaći sklonište.En: She could continue, trusting her instincts, or find a shelter.Hr: Ali riskirati sigurnost svojih prijatelja?En: But risking her friends' safety?Hr: To nije bila opcija.En: That wasn't an option.Hr: „U pravu si, Ana“, napokon je Ivana rekla, prihvaćajući da je hrabrost i u priznavanju kada je potrebno stati.En: "You're right, Ana," Ivana finally said, accepting that courage was also in acknowledging when it was time to stop.Hr: Odlučili su se povući i pronaći sigurno mjesto ispod guste zimzelene krošnje.En: They decided to retreat and find a safe place under the dense evergreen canopy.Hr: Pod granama, vjetar je bio blaži.En: Under the branches, the wind was milder.Hr: Udarci snijega s drveća stvarali su mekanu melodiju.En: The hits of snow from the trees created a soft melody.Hr: Luka je započeo paljenje malenog logorskog ognja.En: Luka started a small campfire.Hr: Ana je dijelila tople čajeve iz termosice.En: Ana shared warm teas from her thermos.Hr: Svi su sijeli, u tišini, gledajući kako plamen raspršuje tamu oko njih.En: They all sat quietly, watching the flames dispel the darkness around them.Hr: Bilo je pravoslavni Božić, pa su jedni drugima uputili tople želje.En: It was Orthodox Christmas, so they exchanged warm wishes.Hr: Ivana je osjetila mir.En: Ivana felt at peace.Hr: Sigurnost i prijateljstvo bili su važniji od planova.En: Safety and friendship were more important than plans.Hr: Strah od gubljenja postupno je blijedio, zamijenjen ponosom i zahvalnošću.En: The fear of getting lost gradually faded, replaced by pride and gratitude.Hr: Kako su zvijezde sada bljeskale na čistom nebu, Ivana je znala da je važan put koji odabiremo, a ne samo destinacija.En: As the stars now twinkled in the clear sky, Ivana knew that the journey we choose is what matters, not just the destination.Hr: S osmijehom na licu, u srcu je nosila novo povjerenje.En: With a smile on her face, she carried a newfound confidence in her heart.Hr: Sljedeći put, neće se bojati donošenja teških odluka za ljubav i sigurnost svojih prijatelja.En: Next time, she wouldn’t fear making difficult decisions for the love and safety of her friends.
