En: Spring brought sunlight to the city, and with it, the Easter bells that filled the air. Hr: Bolnica je bila puna života i smijeha jer se nova beba rodila. En: The hospital was full of life and laughter because a new baby was born. Hr: Ivana, Mateo i Luka koračali su kroz bolničku sobu s osmijehom na licu i buketom balona u rukama. En: Ivana, Mateo, and Luka walked through the hospital room with smiles on their faces and a bouquet of balloons in hand. Hr: “Mateo, jesi ispisao čestitku?” veselo upita Ivana dok su ulazili u svjetlu sobu s pastelnim zidovima. En: “Mateo, did you write the card?” asked Ivana cheerfully as they entered the bright room with pastel walls. Hr: Miris ljiljana miješao se s poznatim bolničkim mirisom dezinfekcijskog sredstva. En: The scent of lilies mingled with the familiar hospital smell of disinfectant. Hr: “Jesam, naravno!” Mateo s ponosom mahnu karticom. En: “I did, of course!” Mateo waved the card proudly. Hr: “Sve je pod kontrolom!” En: “Everything’s under control!” Hr: Luka se trudio ostaviti dojam smirene osobe dok je zakoračio unutra. En: Luka tried to maintain the impression of a calm person as he stepped inside. Hr: Nije volio bolnice, ali nije želio ostaviti svoje prijatelje. En: He didn’t like hospitals, but he didn’t want to leave his friends alone. Hr: Ivana je pogledala oko sebe, skenirajući sobu ukrašenu uskrsnim dekoracijama. En: Ivana looked around, scanning the room decorated with Easter decorations. Hr: Na krevetu je sjedila njihova prijateljica Ana s bebom u naručju, a njezin muž, Petar, srdačno ih je pozdravio. En: On the bed sat their friend Ana with a baby in her arms, and her husband, Petar, greeted them warmly. Hr: “Kako se beba zove?” upita Ivana, nadajući se da će impresionirati svoje prijatelje znanjem o zanimljivim imenima. En: “What’s the baby’s name?” asked Ivana, hoping to impress her friends with her knowledge of interesting names. Hr: Mateo ponosno pruži karticu Ana i Petru. En: Mateo proudly handed the card to Ana and Petar. Hr: “Evo čestitke! Čestitke na maloj… Anamariji?” Pročitao je ime s kartice, a svi su u trenutku zastali. En: “Here’s the card! Congratulations on little… Anamarija?” He read the name from the card, and everyone paused for a moment. Hr: “Anamarija?” Ana podigne obrvu, oštroumno ali blagohumorno. En: “Anamarija?” Ana raised an eyebrow, astutely but good-naturedly. Hr: “Mateo!” tiho šapnula Ivana, “Nisi valjda pomiješao imena?” En: “Mateo!” Ivana whispered quietly, “You didn’t mix up the names, did you?” Hr: Mateo odmah počne smišljati šalu kako bi izbjegao neugodnu situaciju. En: Mateo immediately started coming up with a joke to avoid an awkward situation. Hr: “Pa znate, Anamarija zvuči kao ime koje sam sanjao sinoć!”, pokušao je s osmijehom. En: “Well, you know, Anamarija sounds like a name I dreamed of last night!” he tried with a smile. Hr: Luka osjetio kako mu srce ubrzano lupa. En: Luka felt his heart racing. Hr: Možda je bio u bolnici, ali znao je da mora ostati tu za prijatelje. En: He might have been in a hospital, but he knew he had to stay there for his friends. Hr: “Dobro, idemo ovo srediti,” odlučila je Ivana. En: “All right, let's sort this out,” decided Ivana. Hr: “Petre, Ana, imamo još jedno iznenađenje za vas!” En: “Petar, Ana, we have another surprise for you!” Hr: Uzela je balone, izvadila ih iz buketa i počela žonglirati. En: She took the balloons, pulled them from the bouquet, and began juggling. Hr: Baloni su skakutali zrakom, a Ivana je uz osmijeh rekla, “Predstavljamo pravu zvijezdu—dobrodošli maloj Lani!” En: The balloons bounced in the air, and Ivana said with a smile, “Introducing the real star—welcome little Lana!” Hr: Ana i Petar počeli su plješćati, očarani Ivaninim iznenadnim talentom. En: Ana and Petar started clapping, charmed by Ivana's sudden talent. Hr: Osmijeh se vratio na sve lica, a Mateo i Luka osjetili su olakšanje. En: Smiles returned to all their faces, and Mateo and Luka felt relieved. Hr: Uslijedilo je opraštanje, svi s osmijehom. En: As they said their goodbyes, everyone was smiling. Hr: Ivana je shvatila da ne mora biti savršena da bi bila važna. En: Ivana realized she didn't have to be perfect to be important. Hr: Mateo je shvatio da njegov humor donosi radost, a Luka se osjetio malo opuštenije u bolnici, znajući da ima prijatelje uz sebe. En: Mateo realized his humor brought joy, and Luka felt a little more relaxed in the hospital, knowing he had friends by his side. Hr: Sunce je i dalje sjalo nad gradom dok su troje prijatelja izlazili iz bolnice, spremni za nove dogodovštine ovog lijepog proljeća. En: The sun continued to shine over the city as the three friends left
