Story Transcript:
Sl: Mateja je zamišljeno gledala skozi okno, medtem ko se je avto počasi bližal Bledu.
En: Mateja gazed pensively out the window as the car slowly approached Bled.
Sl: Snežinke so plesale po zraku, speče drevje pa je nudilo zimski objem.
En: Snowflakes danced through the air, and the sleeping trees offered a winter embrace.
Sl: Spomini na otroštvo so ji budili tople občutke, čeprav je vedela, da je pred njo zahtevna naloga.
En: Memories of childhood evoked warm feelings in her, even though she knew a challenging task lay ahead.
Sl: Povabila je očeta in sestro, da se tam srečajo.
En: She had invited her father and sister to meet there.
Sl: Upala je, da jih bo čarobna zimska pokrajina Bleda združila.
En: She hoped that the magical winter landscape of Bled would bring them together.
Sl: Ko so prispeli, je Bojan ustavil avto in tiho vztrajal, gledajoč na prelepo cerkvico na otoku.
En: When they arrived, Bojan stopped the car and quietly insisted, gazing at the beautiful little church on the island.
Sl: Mateja je globoko vdihnila in skušala ostati mirna.
En: Mateja took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
Sl: Nina je medtem že stopila po poti, ki je vodila k obali jezera.
En: Meanwhile, Nina was already walking the path that led to the lake's shore.
Sl: Bila je bolj nervozna kot je kazala.
En: She was more nervous than she let on.
Sl: Vedela je, da bo ta dan težaven, ampak želela je rešiti, kar se je pokvarilo lani, ko je brez besed zapustila dom.
En: She knew that this day would be difficult, but she wanted to fix what had broken last year, when she left home without a word.
Sl: "Naj gremo na sprehod," je predlagala Mateja.
En: "Let's go for a walk," suggested Mateja.
Sl: Snežno bela okolica je bila videti kot z razglednice, a v zraku je bil občutek napetosti, ki ga ni mogla prezreti.
En: The snow-white surroundings looked like something out of a postcard, but there was a feeling of tension in the air that she couldn't ignore.
Sl: Medtem, ko so hodili vzdolž zamrznjenega jezerskega brega, je bilo sprva čutiti le pridušene korake po snu.
En: As they walked along the frozen lake's edge, at first, only the muffled footsteps on the snow could be heard.
Sl: Nenadoma je Bojan, z nekoliko izgubljenim pogledom na ledu, spregovoril: "Zakaj si odšla, Nina?
En: Suddenly, Bojan, with a somewhat lost look on the ice, spoke: "Why did you leave, Nina?"
Sl: ""Isti odgovor, kot vedno," je odvrnila Nina, njen glas pa je zvenel ostro, a obenem prestrašeno.
En: "The same answer as always," replied Nina, her voice sounding sharp, yet fearful.
Sl: "Potrebovala sem prostor.
En: "I needed space.
Sl: Imela sem svoje sanje.
En: I had my dreams."
Sl: ""Ti to ni bilo dovolj doma?
En: "Wasn't home enough for you?"
Sl: " je vprašal Bojan, zdaj s treskom v glasu, ki ga Mateja ni pogrešala.
En: asked Bojan, now his voice with a tremor that Mateja hadn't missed.
Sl: A naenkrat je Nina le ustavila.
En: But suddenly, Nina just stopped.
Sl: "Vse je bilo preveč.
En: "Everything was too much.
Sl: Nisem čutila, da lahko kaj spremenim.
En: I didn't feel like I could change anything.
Sl: Očka, nikoli mi nisi zaupal, da bom sama kaj zmogla.
En: Dad, you never trusted that I could do anything on my own."
Sl: "Bojan je utihnil.
En: Bojan fell silent.
Sl: Mateja je opazila, kako se je njegova drža zmehčala, ko je pogledal mostiček, kjer so nekoč hranili race.
En: Mateja noticed how his posture softened when he looked at the little bridge where they once fed the ducks.
Sl: "Bal sem se, da te izgubim," je priznal končno, njegov glas nežen, skorajda zlomljen.
En: "I was afraid of losing you," he finally admitted, his voice gentle, almost broken.
Sl: "Pozabil sem te vprašati, kaj potrebuješ.
En: "I forgot to ask you what you needed.
Sl: Preveč sem se osredotočil nase.
En: I focused too much on myself."
Sl: "Nina je stopila bližje, njen glas mehkejši, manj povzdignjen.
En: Nina stepped closer, her voice softer, less elevated.
Sl: "Rada bi, da veš, da cenim vse, kar si naredil.
En: "I'd like you to know that I appreciate everything you did.
Sl: A potrebovala sem svobodo.
En: But I needed freedom."
Sl: "Mateja je začutila olajšanje.
En: Mateja felt relief.
Sl: Saj sta se razumeli!
En: They understood each other!
Sl: K temu razvodu je stremela.
En: This was the reconciliation she hoped for.
Sl: Opazila je, da niso potrebovali njene pomoči, samo priložnost za pogovor.
En: She realized they didn't need her help, just an opportunity to talk.
Sl: Ko so se vračali, si je zaželela, da bi lahko ta mir zadržala za vedno.
En: As they returned, she wished she could keep this peace forever.
Sl: Bojan je tokrat objel Nino z nežnim objemom, v nadoknado izgubljenega časa.
En: Bojan this time embraced Nina with a gentle hug, making up for lost time.
Sl: "Včasih le potrebujemo iskreno besedo," je Mateja pomislila, nasmejana, ter občudovala lesk, ki ga je dan za odsevom snega pustil na jezeru.
En: "Sometimes we just need an honest word," Mateja thought, smiling, and admired the glow the day left on the snow-reflected lake.
Sl: V delu se je čutil mir, ki ga je prineslo razumetje.
En: In the air, there was a peace brought on by understanding.
Sl: Pod Bledom je zima tokrat raztopila več kot le led.
En: This time, beneath Bled, winter melted more than just ice.
Sl: Razrešila je tudi stare nesporazume in prinesla nov začetek za njihovo družino.
En: It resolved old misunderstandings and brought a new beginning for their family.
