Bila je to srijeda….jedna vjetrovita i topla jesen. Sjedila sam s gospođom bakom na klupici u Zagrebu na Gornjem gradu….Samo sjediti s njom bilo je predivno, a tek duboki razgovori!

It was Wednesday… a windy and warm autumn. I was sitting with my grandma on a bench in Zagreb, in the Upper Town. Sitting with her was beautiful by itself… and having profound conversations!

Razmišljale smo o čemu smo pogriješile u životu, što smo napravile dobro…..razgovarale smo kako je lijepo imati jedna drugu, kako će mi život brzo proći….Nakon što smo se ispričale, makar nije bilo dosta, krenule smo do Šenoine ulice.

We were thinking about the things we did wrong in our lives and those we did right… we agreed that it was so beautiful to have each other, how my life will pass quickly…

After a long chat, although it was not nearly enough, we headed towards Šenoa street. 

Pričala mi je kako su te 70-te bila lijepa vremena, one frizure, odjeća, ljudi……onda se sjetila filma ,,Tko pjeva zlo ne misli“…. kako je to dobar film kaže ona meni, a toliko puta smo ga zajedno pogledale. Pošle smo dalje do pekarnice te mi je kupila jednu finu krafnu i kakao, a ona je uzela jednu kiflu.

She was telling me about the 70s, the great times, the hairstyles, the clothes, the people… Then, she remembered the film One Song a Day Takes a Mischief Away, such a great film, she said, and we probably saw it together a hundred times. We went to a bakery then, she bought me a tasty doughnut and cocoa and a bagel for herself.

Već bilo 15.00 sati, uhvatila nas je kiša i jaki vjetar, sklonile smo se u jedan fini restoran po imenu Kaptolska klet…. stvarno je bilo fino! Baka je tamo često ručala s mojim djedom. Ona je naručila ribu kao i obično, jer obožava jesti ribu, a ja sam uzela Zagorski odrezak.

It was 3 p.m. already, a strong wind and rain started so we took a shelter in a fine restaurant Kaptolska klet… now, that was really nice! Grandma used to have lunch with grandpa, quite often. She had fish as usual, she loves fish, and I ordered a steak.

Sve je to bilo lijepo dok nisam začula da se neko dere Maja, ručak! Probudila sam se i shvatila da je sve to bio samo san, nažalost!

A beautiful day…until at one moment I heard someone shouting Maja, lunch is on the table! I woke up and realized it was all just a dream, unfortunately.
