Story Transcript:
Hr: Zima je stigla u Pulu.
En: Winter has arrived in Pula.
Hr: Zrak je bio hladan, a more nemirno.
En: The air was cold, and the sea was restless.
Hr: Pomorska baza u Puli bila je puna aktivnosti.
En: The naval base in Pula was full of activity.
Hr: Luka, posvećeni pomorski časnik, hodao je po bazi.
En: Luka, a dedicated naval officer, was walking around the base.
Hr: Bio je to posljednji dan u godini, Silvestrovo.
En: It was the last day of the year, New Year's Eve.
Hr: Zvuk udaljenih proslava mogao se čuti dok je sat otkucavao prema ponoći.
En: The sound of distant celebrations could be heard as the clock ticked towards midnight.
Hr: Luka je imao jednu želju.
En: Luka had one wish.
Hr: Želio je biti kod kuće s obitelji za Novu godinu.
En: He wanted to be home with his family for the New Year.
Hr: No, posao ga je pritiskao sa svih strana.
En: But work was pressuring him from all sides.
Hr: Osjećao je grudni bol, ali bio je tvrdoglav.
En: He felt chest pain but was stubborn.
Hr: Nije se želio pokazati slabim.
En: He didn't want to appear weak.
Hr: Ana, njegova kolegica, primijetila je njegovu napetost, ali Luka joj je rekao da je dobro.
En: Ana, his colleague, noticed his tension, but Luka told her he was fine.
Hr: Ivan, njihov šef, dao im je zadnje upute za dan.
En: Ivan, their boss, gave them the final instructions for the day.
Hr: Luka je znao da mora obaviti zadatke do kraja dana.
En: Luka knew he had to complete his tasks by the end of the day.
Hr: Ponovo je osjetio bol u prsima, ovaj put jače.
En: He felt chest pain again, this time stronger.
Hr: Ignorirao je.
En: He ignored it.
Hr: Pokušao je završiti posao.
En: He tried to finish the work.
Hr: Bio je siguran da može izdržati do kraja dana.
En: He was sure he could endure until the end of the day.
Hr: Kako je vrijeme prolazilo, bol se pojačavala.
En: As time passed, the pain intensified.
Hr: Luka je znao da će biti teško stići kući.
En: Luka knew it would be difficult to make it home.
Hr: Unatoč tome, odlučio je krenuti.
En: Despite this, he decided to leave.
Hr: Obukao je kaput, čvrsto držeći odluku da ode.
En: He put on his coat, firmly holding onto the decision to go.
Hr: Dok je hodao prema izlazu, svjetla baze blještala su u njegovim očima.
En: As he walked towards the exit, the base's lights glared in his eyes.
Hr: U trenutku kada je stigao do vrata baze, Luka se srušio.
En: The moment he reached the base's door, Luka collapsed.
Hr: Ana je trčala prema njemu, zvala za pomoć.
En: Ana ran towards him, calling for help.
Hr: Ivan je brzo pozvao medicinske sestre iz baze.
En: Ivan quickly called the nurses from the base.
Hr: Luka je ležao, nesposoban se pomaknuti, osvijestivši ozbiljnost situacije.
En: Luka lay there, unable to move, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Hr: Odveli su ga u ambulantu baze.
En: They took him to the base's infirmary.
Hr: Medicinska ekipa brzo je počela s pregledom.
En: The medical team quickly began examining him.
Hr: Luka je ležao, razmišljajući o svom ponašanju.
En: Luka lay there, reflecting on his behavior.
Hr: Shvatio je da ne može sve učiniti sam.
En: He realized he couldn't do everything on his own.
Hr: Morao je priznati svoje slabosti i pouzdati se u druge.
En: He had to admit his weaknesses and rely on others.
Hr: Kada se oporavio, Luka je sjedio na krevetu u ambulanti.
En: When he recovered, Luka sat on the bed in the infirmary.
Hr: Prostori su bili tihi.
En: The room was quiet.
Hr: Praznična buka sada je zvučala pomalo daleko.
En: The holiday noise now sounded somewhat distant.
Hr: Ana i Ivan su ga posjetili.
En: Ana and Ivan visited him.
Hr: Luka im je zahvalio na pomoći.
En: Luka thanked them for their help.
Hr: Njegove riječi bile su jednostavne, ali iskrene.
En: His words were simple but sincere.
Hr: Nakon što se dobro oporavio, Luka se promijenio.
En: After he fully recovered, Luka changed.
Hr: Naučio je važnost zdravlja i zajedništva.
En: He learned the importance of health and teamwork.
Hr: Više nije skrivao svoje brige.
En: He no longer hid his concerns.
Hr: Pouzdavao se u svoje kolege i prijatelje.
En: He relied on his colleagues and friends.
Hr: Dok je Nova godina ulazila s nadom i slavlje je ponovno odzvanjalo Pulom, Luka je znao jedno.
En: As the New Year entered with hope and celebration echoed once more through Pula, Luka knew one thing.
Hr: U novoj godini, njegova obitelj, zdravlje i tim bili su najvažniji.
En: In the new year, his family, health, and team were most important.
Hr: Nikada više ne bi riskirao ono što najviše cijeni.
En: He would never again risk what he valued most.
Hr: Ta je spoznaja bila njegov istinski novogodišnji dar.
En: This realization was his true New Year's gift.
