Jednoga sunčanog dana, Ivan se našao u centru Zagreba, zaglavljen u prometnoj gužvi.

On a sunny day, Ivan found himself in the center of Zagreb, stuck in a traffic jam.

Sunce je visoko sjalo nad gradom, a ljudi su žurili svojim poslovima.

The sun shone high above the city, and people hurried about their business.

Ivan, koji je stajao u svom malom crvenom automobilu, osjećao se pomalo usamljeno.

Ivan, who was sitting in his small red car, felt a bit lonely.

Oko njega, automobili su bili poput mjehurića u oceanu buke i ispušnih plinova.

Around him, cars were like bubbles in an ocean of noise and exhaust fumes.

Ivan je promatrao svijet oko sebe, kad je primijetio da se pored njega zaustavila stara bijela "buba", koju je vozila žena s tamnim naočalama.

Ivan observed the world around him, when he noticed an old white "beetle" stopping next to him, driven by a woman with dark sunglasses.

Srce mu je zakucalo.

His heart raced.

Bio je gotovo siguran - to mora da je Marta, njegova davno izgubljena prijateljica.

He was almost certain - it had to be Marta, his long-lost friend.

Zajedno su odrasli u malom selu nedaleko Zagreba, ali život ih je odveo na različite strane.

They had grown up together in a small village near Zagreb, but life had taken them in different directions.

Ivan se osjećao nostalgično i bilo mu je jako stalo do ponovnog susreta s Martom.

Ivan felt nostalgic and was eager to meet Marta again.

Nagnuo se prema prozoru i pozvao: "Marta!

He leaned towards the window and called out, "Marta!

Marta, jesi li to ti?

Marta, is that you?"

" Žena u autu pored okrenula je glavu iznenađeno.

The woman in the car next to him turned her head in surprise.

"Oprostite?

"Excuse me?

Ja sam Ana, ne Marta," odgovorila je neznanka.

I'm Ana, not Marta," the stranger replied.

Ivanov osmijeh se pretvorio u blagi osjećaj razočaranja.

Ivan's smile turned into a mild feeling of disappointment.

Ispricao se i nasmijao sramežljivo, svojom pogreškom.

He apologized and laughed shyly, acknowledging his mistake.

U tom trenutku, telefon mu je zazvonio.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Bio je to njegov dobri prijatelj Nikola, koji je znao za Ivanovu želju da pronađe Martu.

It was his good friend Nikola, who knew about Ivan's desire to find Marta.

Nikola je rekao Ivanu da ima novosti o Marti.

Nikola told Ivan that he had news about Marta.

"Čovječe, pronašao sam Martu!

"Man, I found Marta!

Živi ovdje, u Zagrebu!

She lives here, in Zagreb!"

" Nikola je rekao s uzbuđenjem u glasu.

Nikola said with excitement in his voice.

Ivan je osjetio val uzbuđenja.

Ivan felt a surge of excitement.

Činilo se kao da je sudbina bila uz njega toga dana.

It seemed like fate was on his side that day.

Nakon kratkog razgovora s Nikolom, saznao je gdje može pronaći Martu.

After a brief conversation with Nikola, he learned where he could find Marta.

Zahvalio je Nikoli, izvinio se Ani još jednom, i čim se promet pokrenuo, krenuo je u novu avanturu da bi ponovno susreo svoju staru prijateljicu.

He thanked Nikola, apologized to Ana once again, and as soon as the traffic started moving, he embarked on a new adventure to reunite with his old friend.

Kad je napokon našao Martu, trenutak je bio ispunjen srećom i smijehom.

When he finally found Marta, the moment was filled with happiness and laughter.

Marta, koju nije vidio godinama, bila je isto tako sretna što ga vidi.

Marta, whom he hadn't seen in years, was equally happy to see him.

Razmijenili su priče o svojim životima i obećali da se više nikada neće izgubiti iz vida.

They exchanged stories about their lives and promised to never lose sight of each other again.

I tako se Ivanov dan, koji je počeo usamljeno i nestvarno usred prometne gužve Zagreba, pretvorio u nezaboravno ponovno sjedinjenje s dragom prijateljicom.

And so, Ivan's day, which had started lonely and surreal in the traffic jam of Zagreb, turned into an unforgettable reunion with a dear friend.

Znao je da će od tog dana njihovo prijateljstvo biti još jače no ikada prije.

He knew that from that day on, their friendship would be stronger than ever before.
