Luka je hodao ispred, a Ivana ga je pratila s pažnjom kakvu bi imala starija sestra.

Luka walked ahead, while Ivana followed him with the attention of an older sister.

Gusta šuma kraj Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera bila je tiha i mirna, ali skriveni znakovi uokolo upozoravali su na poteškoće.

The dense forest near Plitvice Lakes National Park was quiet and calm, but hidden signs around warned of difficulties.

Luka je bio odlučan pronaći staru obiteljsku relikviju o kojoj je baka govorila prije smrti.

Luka was determined to find the old family relic that their grandmother spoke of before her death.

Ivana je bila uz njega, iako je nosila teret nedavnih obiteljskih problema.

Ivana was with him, even though she bore the burden of recent family issues.

"Baka je rekla da se relikvija krije u skrivenoj pećini," reče Luka, pretražujući zemlju oko sebe.

"Grandma said the relic is hidden in a secret cave," said Luka, searching the ground around him.

"Moramo nastaviti dalje."

"We have to keep going."

Ivana je kimnula, iako joj je srce bilo teško.

Ivana nodded, even though her heart felt heavy.

Njezin brat jurio je za prošlošću dok je ona brinula za sadašnjost.

Her brother was chasing the past while she was concerned about the present.

Guste krošnje drveća su ih pokrivale, a šum padajuće vode čuo se u daljini.

The thick tree canopies covered them, and the sound of falling water could be heard in the distance.

"Znaš li gdje idemo?" upitala je tiho, znajući koliko mu znači ovo putovanje.

"Do you know where we’re going?" she asked quietly, knowing how much this journey meant to him.

"Ja... mislim da znam," odgovori Luka, vrteći mapu u rukama.

"I... think I do," Luka responded, turning the map in his hands.

Prošli su kroz uske staze, preskakali potoke i nosili se s korijenjem koje ih je saplitalo.

They passed through narrow paths, leapt over streams, and dealt with roots that tripped them up.

Šuma je bila predivna, ali i opasna.

The forest was beautiful but also dangerous.

"Čekaj," reče odjednom Luka i zastade.

"Wait," Luka suddenly said and stopped.

"Čuo si nešto?"

"Did you hear something?"

Ivana skupi hrabrost i priđe bliže Luki.

Ivana gathered her courage and stepped closer to Luka.

U daljini je vidjela tamnu pećinu.

In the distance, she saw a dark cave.

Luka je odlučio krenuti prema tom tamnom prolazu iako su legende govorile da je opasno.

Luka decided to head toward that dark passage even though the legends said it was dangerous.

"Možda nije sigurno..." pokušala je upozoriti ga.

"Maybe it’s not safe..." she tried to warn him.

"Moramo pokušati," odvrati Luka odlučno.

"We have to try," Luka replied firmly.

Hodali su oprezno prema pećini.

They walked cautiously toward the cave.

No, kamenje je bilo sklisko, a tlo nesigurno.

But the stones were slippery, and the ground was unstable.

Ivana je pokušavala pratiti, ali je naglo pala i ozlijedila nogu.

Ivana tried to keep up, but she suddenly fell and injured her leg.

"Ah!" povikala je, bol ju je prošla cijelim tijelom.

"Ah!" she cried out, pain shooting through her body.

Luka se odmah okrenuo, vidjevši sestru na tlu.

Luka immediately turned around, seeing his sister on the ground.

Obuzeo ga je val krivnje.

A wave of guilt washed over him.

"Ivana! Jesi li dobro?" Zaboravio je na relikviju.

"Ivana! Are you okay?" He forgot about the relic.

"Ne mogu hodati," prošaptala je.

"I can’t walk," she whispered.

Luka je tada shvatio koliko joj je bila važna.

Luka then realized how important she was.

Pronašao je granu za oslonac i uz njezinu pomoć polako je podigao.

He found a branch for support and slowly lifted her with its help.

"Moramo se vratiti, Ivana. Tvoje zdravlje je važnije," rekao je, glasom punim grižnje savjesti.

"We have to go back, Ivana. Your health is more important," he said, his voice full of remorse.

Ivana ga je pogledala s oslobađanjem.

Ivana looked at him with relief.

"Pomozi mi, Luka."

"Help me, Luka."

Luka ju je čvrsto držao dok su se polako vraćali nazad.

Luka held her tightly as they slowly made their way back.

On je nosio teret povijesti, ali sada je nosio svoju sestru, što mu je bilo neizmjerno važnije.

He carried the weight of history, but now he carried his sister, which mattered far more to him.

Osjetio je kako se njihova narušena veza polako popravlja.

He felt their strained bond slowly mending.

Kada su napokon stigli na sigurno, Luka je pažljivo smjestio Ivanu.

When they finally reached safety, Luka carefully settled Ivana down.

"Žao mi je," rekao je tiho.

"I'm sorry," he said quietly.

"Važno je da smo zajedno," odgovorila je Ivana, nasmiješivši se unatoč bolu.

"What matters is that we’re together," Ivana replied, smiling despite the pain.

"Tradicije su važne, ali mi smo važniji."

"Traditions are important, but we are more important."

U tom trenutku, Luka je shvatio pravu važnost obitelji.

At that moment, Luka realized the true value of family.

Relikvija je ostala u šumi, ali on je pronašao nešto daleko vrjednije – obnovljenu vezu sa sestrom.

The relic remained in the forest, but he found something far more valuable – a renewed bond with his sister.

Odlazeći iz šume, osjetili su olakšanje i novo razumijevanje jedno prema drugome.

As they left the forest, they felt relief and a new understanding of each other.

Zajedno su prebrodili prepreke, učeći važnu lekciju o obitelji i ljubavi.

Together, they had overcome obstacles, learning an important lesson about family and love.

U tom trenutku, znali su da će uvijek biti jedno uz drugo, bez obzira na sve.

In that moment, they knew they would always have each other, no matter what.
