Zrakoplovna luka Zagreb bila je prepuna ljudi.

Zrakoplovna luka Zagreb was crowded with people.

Zvukovi božićne glazbe ispunili su terminal, a lampice su svjetlucale na svakom uglu.

The sounds of Christmas music filled the terminal, and lights sparkled in every corner.

Ivana je stajala u redu ispred kontrole sigurnosti, osjećajući kako joj srce ubrzano kuca.

Ivana stood in line in front of security control, feeling her heart race.

Bila je blistavi student, možda previše zabrinuta za svoj završni projekt.

She was an outstanding student, perhaps too worried about her final project.

Njezin tim, kojeg su činili Marko i Luka, čekao je njezin povratak sa završnim dijelom prezentacije.

Her team, consisting of Marko and Luka, was waiting for her return with the final part of the presentation.

Dok su svi uživali u prazničnoj atmosferi, Ivana je osjećala napetost.

While everyone else enjoyed the festive atmosphere, Ivana felt tense.

Morala je još jučer biti kod bake po izložbeni predmet, no sada je kasnila zbog nepredviđenih obiteljskih okupljanja.

She was supposed to have been at her grandmother's yesterday for the exhibit item, but now she was delayed due to unforeseen family gatherings.

Pogledala je prema velikom satu iznad izlaza koji je nemilosrdno otkucavao.

She glanced at the large clock above the exit that was mercilessly ticking away.

Red se kretao presporo.

The line was moving too slowly.

Panika ju je počela obuzimati.

Panic began to take over her.

Pomisao na razočaranje u očima Marka i Luke bila je nepodnošljiva.

The thought of disappointment in Marko and Luka's eyes was unbearable.

Duboko je udahnula.

She took a deep breath.

Morala je ostati smirena i smisliti plan.

She had to stay calm and come up with a plan.

Brzo je prišla jednom od zaposlenika u plavoj uniformi.

She quickly approached one of the employees in a blue uniform.

"Molim vas", rekla je, "imam školsku prezentaciju koja je jako važna.

"Please," she said, "I have a very important school presentation.

Možete li mi pomoći proći brže?

Can you help me get through faster?"

"Zaposlenik ju je pažljivo pogledao, a zatim kimnuo glavom.

The employee looked at her carefully, then nodded.

"Naravno, hajde brzo, pratit ću te.

"Of course, come quickly, I'll guide you."

"Ivana je gotovo trčala za njim, preskačući redove putnika.

Ivana almost ran alongside him, skipping past lines of passengers.

Prošla je kontrolu uz minimalne provjere i stigla na vrijeme na vrata ukrcavanja.

She passed through control with minimal checks and made it to the boarding gate on time.

Kad je konačno sjela u avion, izdahnula je s olakšanjem.

When she finally sat down in the plane, she exhaled with relief.

Bila je još korak bliže svom cilju.

She was one step closer to her goal.

Kad je avion sletio u Zagreb, zrakoplovna luka postala je prava trkaća staza za Ivanu.

When the plane landed in Zagreb, the airport turned into a real racetrack for Ivana.

Potrčala je prema izlazu.

She ran towards the exit.

Snijeg je lepršao okolo, stvarajući bijelo čudo oko nje.

Snow fluttered around, creating a white wonderland around her.

Konačno, stigla je pred školu samo nekoliko minuta prije početka prezentacije.

Finally, she reached the school just a few minutes before the presentation began.

S ulaskom u učionicu nosila je željeni predmet, a Marko i Luka su joj se s olakšanjem nasmiješili.

As she entered the classroom carrying the desired item, Marko and Luka smiled at her with relief.

"Ivana, uspjela si!

"Ivana, you made it!"

"Uzbuđenje je ispunilo prostoriju dok su prezentirali zajedno, slažući svaki dio slagalice.

Excitement filled the room as they presented together, fitting each piece of the puzzle.

Na kraju, učitelj im je čestitao na izvrsnom radu.

In the end, the teacher congratulated them on an excellent job.

Ivana je shvatila nešto važno.

Ivana realized something important.

Ponekad je potrebno tražiti pomoć i vjerovati u druge.

Sometimes it's necessary to ask for help and trust others.

Nasmijala se sebi dok su svi pljeskali i pohvaljivali timsku suradnju.

She smiled to herself as everyone clapped and praised their teamwork.

Učionicu je napustila osjećajući se lakše, znajući da nije sama.

She left the classroom feeling lighter, knowing she wasn't alone.

I dok je Zagreb utonuo u zimsku večer, Ivana je osjetila toplinu Božića i podrške svojih prijatelja.

And as Zagreb settled into the winter evening, Ivana felt the warmth of Christmas and the support of her friends.
