Hr: Sunce je polako zalazilo nad krovovima stare jezgre Zagreba, osvjetljavajući kamenim popločenim ulicama u toplim nijansama zlata.
En: The sun was slowly setting over the rooftops of the old town center of Zagreb, casting warm shades of gold along the cobblestone streets.

Hr: U jednoj od tih ulica, tik do Trga bana Jelačića, smjestio se mali ugodni kafić poznat po svojoj kućnoj atmosferi i mirisu svježe mljevene kave.
En: In one of those streets, right next to Ban Jelačić Square, there was a small cozy café known for its homely atmosphere and the smell of freshly ground coffee.

Hr: Tog posebnog popodneva, Luka je u tom kafiću čekao Anu.
En: On this particular afternoon, Luka was waiting for Ana in that café.

Hr: Bio je to njihov prvi spoj.
En: It was their first date.

Hr: Luka je već sjedio za drvenim stolom pored prozora, nervozno tapkajući prstima po stolu.
En: Luka was already sitting at a wooden table by the window, nervously tapping his fingers on the table.

Hr: Nosio je svoju najbolju košulju i parfem kojeg je kupio samo za ovu priliku.
En: He was wearing his best shirt and a perfume he had bought just for this occasion.

Hr: Kada je Ana kročila unutra, njezin osmijeh je zračio cijelom prostorijom.
En: When Ana walked in, her smile lit up the whole room.

Hr: Bila je odjevena u bijelu majicu koja joj je savršeno pristajala i bila je točno onakva kakvu ju je Luka zamišljao – jednostavna, ali očaravajuća.
En: She was dressed in a white shirt that fit her perfectly, just as Luka had imagined her—simple yet captivating.

Hr: Pozdravivši se, Luka joj je pomogao da skine kaput i nježno ju je uputio prema stolu.
En: After greeting each other, Luka helped her take off her coat and guided her to the table.

Hr: U tom trenutku, konobar je donio njihove kave.
En: At that moment, the waiter brought their coffees.

Hr: Luka je s uzbuđenjem podigao šalicu kako bi otpio prvi gutljaj, ali tada se desilo nešto neočekivano.
En: Luka eagerly raised his cup to take the first sip, but then something unexpected happened.

Hr: Njegova ruka je zadrhtala, a vrijeme kao da se usporilo dok je šalica kliznula iz njegovih prstiju te se kava prolila po Aninoj novoj bijeloj majici.
En: His hand trembled, and time seemed to slow down as the cup slipped from his fingers, spilling coffee on Ana's new white shirt.

Hr: Ana je zastenjala od iznenađenja, a Lukino lice postalo je crveno kao višnja.
En: Ana gasped in surprise, and Luka's face turned as red as a cherry.

Hr: "Oprosti, oprosti!" izletjelo je iz njega dok je brzo tražio salvetu.
En: "I'm so sorry, I’m so sorry!" he blurted out as he quickly searched for a napkin.

Hr: Osjećao je kako se zdjela srama prelijeva iznad glave.
En: He felt a bowl of embarrassment pouring over his head.

Hr: Umjesto ljutnje, Ana je iznenada počela smijati.
En: Instead of getting upset, Ana suddenly started laughing.

Hr: Njen smijeh bio je zarazan i ubrzo su se oboje smijali cijelom situacijom.
En: Her laughter was infectious, and soon they were both laughing at the whole situation.

Hr: "Hej, to je samo majica," rekla je Ana.
En: "Hey, it's just a shirt," Ana said.

Hr: "Ali moram priznati, ovo definitivno čini naš prvi spoj nezaboravnim!"
En: "But I have to admit, this definitely makes our first date unforgettable!"

Hr: Luka je odahnuo s olakšanjem i konobar im je brzo donio vodu i sol kako bi pomogli ukloniti mrlju.
En: Luka breathed a sigh of relief, and the waiter quickly brought them water and salt to help remove the stain.

Hr: Dok su zajedno tapkali po mokroj majici, neugodnost se polako topila, a razgovor je tekao sve slobodnije.
En: As they worked together to dab at the wet shirt, the awkwardness slowly melted away, and the conversation flowed more freely.

Hr: Kako su sati prolazili, Anina majica postala je samo bijedan podsjetnik na njihov nespretni početak.
En: As the hours passed, Ana's shirt became just a minor reminder of their clumsy start.

Hr: Na kraju večeri, kada su se konačno rastali, dogovorili su se za drugi spoj.
En: By the end of the evening, as they finally said goodbye, they arranged for another date.

Hr: Luka je s osmijehom gledao Anu kako odlazi, znajući da ova mala nezgoda nije pokvarila njihov spoj, već je postala simpatična priča koju će jednog dana s osmijehom prepričavati.
En: Luka watched Ana leave with a smile, knowing that this little mishap hadn't ruined their date, but had become a charming story they would someday retell with a smile.

Hr: Ana je otišla s mrljom na majici, ali i s bistrim saznanjem da je pravi šarm nekada u nesavršenosti, a njihov prvi spoj u Zagrebu bio je dokaz da se iz male katastrofe može razviti nešto lijepo.
En: Ana left with a coffee stain on her shirt, but also with a clear understanding that real charm sometimes lies in imperfection, and their first date in Zagreb was proof that something beautiful can emerge from a small disaster.

Hr: Na kraju, nije bila važna mrlja od kave, već iskreni osmjesi koje su razmjenjivali u sjaju zalazećeg sunca.
En: In the end, the coffee stain didn't matter; it was the genuine smiles they exchanged in the glow of the setting sun.
