Ivana, svi smo mi na popisu," rekla je Petra tiho.En: "A new command has arrived for an urgent mission. Ivana, we're all on the list," Petra said quietly.Hr: Ivani se srce stegnulo.En: Ivana's heart tightened.Hr: Neočekivana dugačka misija značila je da neće moći na groblje s obitelji.En: An unexpectedly long mission meant she wouldn't be able to go to the cemetery with her family.Hr: "Trebaš li pomoć oko odluke?" ponudio je Marko, prepoznavši njezinu dilemu između dužnosti i obitelji.En: "Do you need help deciding?" Marko offered, recognizing her dilemma between duty and family.Hr: Dok je Ivana promišljala, njezine su misli bile kao valovi, uzburkane i neodlučne.En: As Ivana pondered, her thoughts were like waves, turbulent and indecisive.Hr: S jedne strane, častiti baku - bila joj je poput druge majke.En: On one hand, honoring her grandmother — she was like a second mother to her.Hr: S druge, karijera u mornarici bila joj je važna.En: On the other, her career in the navy was important to her.Hr: "Otići ću razgovarati s komandantom," odlučila je Ivana glasno.En: "I'll go talk to the commander," Ivana decided out loud.Hr: Unutarnji strah miješao se s odlučnošću.En: An inner fear mingled with determination.Hr: Hodala je prema uredu s mislima koje su ju pritiskale poput sidra.En: She walked toward the office with thoughts weighing on her like an anchor.Hr: Ulazeći unutra, susrela je staložen pogled zapovjednika.En: Entering, she met the calm gaze of the commander.Hr: Kratke riječi u vijugavoj tišini.En: Short words in a winding silence.Hr: "Ivane, znam koliko ti Svi sveti znače. Ali misija je hitna," započeo je zapovjednik.En: "Ivane, I know how much All Saints' Day means to you. But the mission is urgent," the commander began.Hr: Ivana se borila sa suzama.En: Ivana fought back tears.Hr: "Molim samo kratku odgodu. Vrijeme je važno, ali i uspomena na obitelj. Trebat ću se vratiti brzo," govorila je.En: "I'm just asking for a short delay. Time is important, but so is family remembrance. I will need to return quickly," she spoke.Hr: Tišina je ispunila sobu dok je zapovjednik razmišljao.En: Silence filled the room as the commander thought.Hr: Napokon, s blagim osmijehom, klimnuo je.En: Finally, with a gentle smile, he nodded.Hr: "Ivane, možeš otići na par dana," rekao je.En: "Ivane, you can go for a few days," he said.Hr: Ivana nije mogla vjerovati.En: Ivana couldn't believe it.Hr: Osjećaj olakšanja p
