En: At the Nikola Tesla Tehnički Muzej in Zagreb, a mix of excitement and nostalgia could be felt in the air. Hr: Zvukovi koraka odjekivali su visokim stropovima, a miris starih knjiga i poliranog drva širio se prostorijama. En: Footsteps echoed through the high ceilings, and the smell of old books and polished wood spread throughout the rooms. Hr: Jesen je već stigla u grad, ostavljajući svoje žute i narančaste tragove po ulicama. En: Autumn had already arrived in the city, leaving its yellow and orange traces on the streets. Hr: Unutar muzeja, Ivana, volonterka strastvena prema znanosti, promatrala je posjetitelje. En: Inside the museum, Ivana, a volunteer passionate about science, was observing the visitors. Hr: Njezina umiljata narav i znatiželja učinile su je vrlo voljenom među kolegama, uključujući Anu, njezinu najbolju prijateljicu i kolegicu. En: Her gentle nature and curiosity made her very beloved among her colleagues, including Ana, her best friend and coworker. Hr: Ana je stajala pokraj nje, gledajući kroz publiku. En: Ana stood beside her, looking through the audience. Hr: "Je li on taj? En: "Is that him?" Hr: " upitala je, diskretno pokazujući prema Marku, visokome mladiću u kutu. En: she asked, discreetly pointing towards Marko, a tall young man in the corner. Hr: Ivana je stidljivo kimnula. En: Ivana shyly nodded. Hr: "Da, on je. En: "Yes, he is. Hr: Inženjer, čini se da ga zanima obnovljiva energija, kao i mene. En: An engineer, he seems interested in renewable energy, just like me." Hr: "Ana ju je potapšala po ramenu. En: Ana patted her on the shoulder. Hr: "Idi, razgovaraj s njim. En: "Go, talk to him. Hr: Nikad nećeš znati ako ne probaš. En: You'll never know unless you try." Hr: "No, Ivana je osjećala sumnju. En: However, Ivana felt doubt. Hr: Bojala se neprihvaćanja ili, još gore, nesporazuma. En: She was afraid of rejection or, worse, misunderstanding. Hr: Dok su svi ulazili u konferencijsku dvoranu, Ivana je oklijevala, ali je odlučila suzbiti strah. En: As everyone entered the conference room, Ivana hesitated but decided to suppress her fear. Hr: "Dobro, idem poslije predavanja. En: "Alright, I'll go after the lecture. Hr: Možda je ljubazan, tko zna. En: Maybe he's kind, who knows."

En: "Hi, I'm Ivana. Hr: Vidjela sam da si bio veoma zainteresiran za predavanje. En: I saw that you were very interested in the lecture. Hr: I ja sam," rekla je sramežljivo, ali s iskrenim osmijehom. En: So was I," she said shyly but with a sincere smile. Hr: Marko je podigao pogled. En: Marko looked up. Hr: "Bok, ja sam Marko. En: "Hi, I'm Marko. Hr: Da, fantastično je bilo. En: Yes, it was fantastic. Hr: Oduvijek me privlačila održiva tehnologija. En: I have always been drawn to sustainable technology." Hr: " Njegove oči sijale su iskrenim interesom.
