Na Dolac tržnici, proljeće budi život u svakom kutku.

At the Dolac market, spring awakens life in every corner.

Staje su šarene, pune rajčica, krastavaca i jagoda.

The stalls are colorful, full of tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries.

Zrak miriše na svježi luk i peršin.

The air smells of fresh onions and parsley.

U tom vrtlogu boja i mirisa, mladi arhitekt Ivo šeta između štandova.

In this whirlwind of colors and scents, young architect Ivo walks among the stands.

Njegova strast prema kuhanju izvlači ga iz ureda u potragu za najboljim sastojcima.

His passion for cooking draws him out of the office in search of the best ingredients.

Nedaleko, Marina, lokalna umjetnica, promatra iste štandove.

Not far away, Marina, a local artist, observes the same stalls.

Njena ljubav prema održivom načinu života vuče je prema svježem, domaćem povrću.

Her love for a sustainable lifestyle draws her towards fresh, local produce.

Ona traži nešto više od svakodnevice – osobu koja će razumjeti njene vrijednosti.

She is looking for something more than everyday life—a person who will understand her values.

Ivo zapaža Marinu kako pažljivo bira povrće.

Ivo notices Marina carefully picking vegetables.

Srce mu brže kuca, ali stid ga sprječava da napravi prvi korak.

His heart beats faster, but shyness stops him from making the first move.

Uspoređuje rajčice, držeći jednu u ruci duže nego što je potrebno, smišljajući hrabrost da progovori.

He compares tomatoes, holding one in his hand longer than necessary, mustering the courage to speak.

"Ovo su lijepi plodovi, zar ne?

"These are beautiful fruits, aren't they?"

" napokon promrmlja, gledajući Marinu.

he finally mumbles, looking at Marina.

Marina se okrene, iznenađena i pomalo oprezna, ali brzo primijeti toplinu u njegovim očima.

Marina turns, surprised and somewhat cautious, but quickly notices the warmth in his eyes.

"Da, stvarno su prekrasne," odgovara, odlučivši biti otvorena za razgovor, "Volim raditi domaću salsu od njih.

"Yes, they really are beautiful," she replies, deciding to be open to conversation, "I love making homemade salsa from them."

"Ivo se nasmiješi, osjećajući da je prešao prvi most.

Ivo smiles, feeling that he has crossed the first bridge.

"Ja često kuham.

"I cook often.

Tražim nekoga tko dijeli tu strast," priznaje, nadajući se da nije prenaglio.

I'm looking for someone who shares that passion," he admits, hoping he hasn't been too forward.

"Ja sam umjetnica.

"I'm an artist.

Teško je pronaći nekoga tko razumije moj način života," Marina odgovara iskreno.

It's hard to find someone who understands my way of life," Marina responds honestly.

"Ali, voljela bih čuti o tvojim kulinarskim avanturama.

"But, I'd love to hear about your culinary adventures."

"Razgovor se odvija prirodno.

The conversation flows naturally.

Govore o svojim omiljenim načinima pripreme povrća, sitnim tajnama koje čuvaju od drugih kuhara.

They talk about their favorite ways of preparing vegetables, the small secrets they keep from other chefs.

Smiju se i otkrivaju da dijele iste vrijednosti – ljubav prema jednostavnom, zdravom životu i želju za istinskom povezanošću.

They laugh and discover that they share the same values—a love for a simple, healthy life and a desire for genuine connection.

Sunčeve zrake obasjavaju tržnicu dok njihova priča dobiva novi sjaj.

Sun rays light up the market as their story gains new brilliance.

Ivo skupi hrabrost, uzme mobitel i sramežljivo kaže: "Možemo nastaviti naš razgovor, ako želiš?

Ivo gathers the courage, takes out his phone, and shyly says, "We can continue our conversation, if you want?

Možda uz kuhanje zajedno?

Maybe with cooking together?"

"Marina, s osmijehom, razmjeni kontakt s Ivom.

Marina, smiling, exchanges contact with Ivo.

Osjeti kako se sumnje povlače, a nada raste.

She feels her doubts retreat, and hope grows.

"Svakako, voljela bih to.

"Sure, I'd love that."

"Dok se rastaju, oboje odlaze s tržnice s novom energijom i osjećajem promjene.

As they part ways, both leave the market with new energy and a sense of change.

Ivo s obnovljenim samopouzdanjem da pristupi ljudima, a Marina s obnovljenim povjerenjem u mogućnost stvaranja istinskih veza.

Ivo with renewed confidence to approach people, and Marina with renewed trust in the possibility of creating genuine connections.

Na Dolcu, gdje boje i mirisi donose radost, Ivo i Marina pronašli su nešto više – početak nečega što bi moglo procvjetati.

At Dolac, where colors and scents bring joy, Ivo and Marina found something more—the beginning of something that might blossom.
