Marko asked, looking at her from under his eyebrows.Hr: "Vidjela sam čovjeka kako uzima novac iz džepa jedne starije gospođe na tržnici Dolac", rekla je Ivana, tražeći samopouzdanje u vlastitom glasu. "Bilo je puno ljudi, ali... bio je jako snalažljiv."En: "I saw a man taking money from the pocket of an elderly lady at the Dolac market," Ivana said, seeking confidence in her own voice. "There were a lot of people, but... he was very cunning."Hr: Marko se namrštio. "Takve stvari se često događaju. Sigurna ste da to nije bio samo nesretni nesporazum?"En: Marko frowned. "These things happen often. Are you sure it wasn't just an unfortunate misunderstanding?"Hr: Ivana je zagrizla donju usnicu. "Sigurna sam. Znate, često idem na tržnicu. Tamo je uvijek žurba, no ovo je bilo drugačije."En: Ivana bit her lower lip. "I'm sure. You know, I often go to the market. There's always a rush there, but this was different."Hr: Dvojba se skrila u Markovim očima, ali Ivana je nastavila. "Ana, prodavačica voća, mislim da je nešto vidjela. Ali bila je previše zauzeta prodajom da bi obratila pažnju."En: Doubt was hidden in Marko's eyes, but Ivana continued. "Ana, the fruit seller, I think she saw something. But she was too busy selling to pay attention."Hr: "Možete li razgovarati s njom i vidjeti što kaže?" predložio je Marko.En: "Can you talk to her and see what she says?" suggested Marko.Hr: Ivana je kimnula, no u njoj se borila sumnja. Je li spremna suočiti se s Aninim podsmijehom? Ali, želja za pravdom bila je jača.En: Ivana nodded, yet inside her, doubt was fighting. Was she ready to face Ana's ridicule? But the desire for justice was stronger.Hr: S odlukom u srcu, Ivana je pronašla Anu među šarenim štandovima. Ana je podizala kutije malina, omotana u svoj svijet računa i prodaje.En: With a decision in her heart, Ivana found Ana among the colorful stalls. Ana was lifting boxes of raspberries, wrapped in her world of calculations and sales.Hr: "Ana", započela je Ivana tiho, "da li ste vidjeli taj muškarac danas? Onaj što je..."En: "Ana," Ivana began quietly, "did you see that man today? The one who..."Hr: "Ah, naravno", prekinula ju je Ana uzdahom, "Neka duša što misli da može uzeti što poželi. Vidjela sam ga. Kod Damira je stajao".En: "Ah, of course," Ana interrupted with a sigh, "Some soul who thinks he can take whatever he wants. I saw him. He was standing by Damir."Hr: Ivana je osjetila olakšanje. Ana je bila korisna više nego što je očekivala. Vratila se u postaju i pružila Marku svoj mobilni telefon.En: Ivana felt relief. Ana was more helpful than she had expected. She returned to the station and handed Marko her mobile phone.Hr: "Snimila sam ga dok nisam bila sigurna trebam li se umiješati", rekla je.En: "I took a picture of him when I wasn't sure if I should intervene," she said.Hr: Marko je pregledavao fotografiju, a izraz lica mu se promijenio. "Ovo će biti korisno", rekao je, vraćajući joj telefon.En: Marko examined the photo, and his expression changed. "This will be useful," he said, handing back her phone.Hr: Dodao je, gledajući je sada s poštovanjem: "Pogledat ćemo to bolje. Vaša pomoć je veoma važna."En: He added, now looking at her with respect: "We'll look into it further. Your help is very important."Hr: Toplina proljetnog sunca sada je ispunjavala Ivanu vedrim duhom.En: The warmth of the spring sun now filled Ivana with a bright spirit.Hr: Otišla je s osjećajem ponosa i novim poštovanjem za vlastitu hrabrost.En: She left with a sense of pride and new-found respect for her own courage.Hr: U toj maloj postaji, i u velikom gradu, Ivana je našla novi početak prepun nade za sigurniji Zagreb.En: In that small station, and in the big city, Ivana found a new beginning full of hope for a safer Zagreb.
