Ivana je stajala ispred napuštenog skladišta na periferiji Splita.

Ivana stood in front of the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Split.

Vrućina ljeta ispunjavala je zrak, a sunčeve zrake prolazile su kroz napukle prozore, osvjetljavajući unutrašnjost.

The summer heat filled the air, and the sun's rays passed through the cracked windows, illuminating the interior.

Skladište je bilo ogromno, prepuno sjena, prašnjavih sanduka i zidova prekrivenih grafitima.

The warehouse was enormous, full of shadows, dusty crates, and walls covered in graffiti.

Taj dan, 25. lipnja, Dan državnosti, Ivana je imala važnu misiju.

That day, June 25th, Statehood Day, Ivana had an important mission.

Studirala je povijest umjetnosti i znala je koje blago leži izgubljeno.

She was studying art history and knew what treasure lay lost.

Jako važno umjetničko djelo, simbol hrvatske baštine, nestalo je prije mnogo godina.

A very important piece of art, a symbol of Croatian heritage, had disappeared many years ago.

Ivana je slušala glasine da se skriva upravo ovdje, u ovom oronulom skladištu.

Ivana had heard rumors that it was hidden right here, in this dilapidated warehouse.

Odlučila je istražiti sama.

She decided to investigate on her own.

"Marko, odlazim unutra," rekla je tiho svom prijatelju preko telefona.

"Marko, I'm going inside," she quietly told her friend over the phone.

Marko i Petar ostali su u autu, spremni pomoći ako bude potrebno.

Marko and Petar stayed in the car, ready to help if needed.

No, Ivana je osjećala da mora sama obaviti ovaj zadatak.

However, Ivana felt she had to complete this task on her own.

Unutra je bilo hladnije.

Inside, it was cooler.

Skladište je imalo stare drvene grede i niz hodnika prekrivenih prašinom.

The warehouse had old wooden beams and a series of corridors covered in dust.

Ivana je pažljivo istraživala, osjećajući se kao u potrazi za blagom iz davnog doba.

Ivana carefully explored, feeling like she was on a treasure hunt from a bygone era.

Koraci su joj odzvanjali u tišini.

Her footsteps echoed in the silence.

Nakon nekog vremena, naišla je na veliki drveni sanduk.

After some time, she came across a large wooden crate.

Otvorila ga je pažljivo i njezino srce poskočilo.

She opened it carefully, and her heart leapt.

Tamo je bila slika, predivna, jednostavna, ali moćna.

There was the painting, beautiful, simple, yet powerful.

Znala je da je to ono što je tražila.

She knew it was what she was searching for.

Slika je prikazivala staru dalmatinsku obalnu scenu, simbol identiteta i povijesti.

The painting depicted an old Dalmatian coastal scene, a symbol of identity and history.

No, iznenada je začula korake.

But suddenly, she heard footsteps.

Neki su ljudi prilazili.

Some people were approaching.

Vjerojatno konkurencija, pomislila je.

Probably competition, she thought.

Ivana je brzo uzela sliku, kliznula iza obližnjeg stupa i tiho se kretala prema izlazu.

Ivana quickly took the painting, slipped behind a nearby pillar, and quietly moved toward the exit.

Na sreću, prošla je nezapaženo.

Fortunately, she went unnoticed.

Izvan skladišta, Marko i Petar su je čekali.

Outside the warehouse, Marko and Petar were waiting for her.

"Jesi li uspjela?" pitao je Petar napeto.

"Did you succeed?" Petar asked tensely.

"Da, imam je," odgovorila je Ivana ponosno, pokazujući im sliku.

"Yes, I have it," Ivana replied proudly, showing them the painting.

Svi su se nasmijali olakšanje.

They all laughed in relief.

Vozili su se prema gradu, znajući da su spasili važan dio povijesti.

They drove towards the city, knowing they had saved an important part of history.

Na proslavi Dana državnosti, slika je bila izložena u lokalnom muzeju.

At the Statehood Day celebration, the painting was exhibited in the local museum.

Ivana je stajala ponosno dok su posjetitelji gledali i divili se.

Ivana stood proudly as visitors looked and admired.

Shvatila je koliko je važno štititi kulturnu baštinu.

She realized how important it is to protect cultural heritage.

Osjećala je da ima snagu i hrabrost suočiti se s izazovima.

She felt she had the strength and courage to face challenges.

"Bila si nevjerojatna," rekao joj je Marko.

"You were amazing," Marko told her.

Ivana se nasmiješila, znajući da je to tek početak njene avanture u svijetu umjetnosti i povijesti.

Ivana smiled, knowing this was just the beginning of her adventure in the world of art and history.
