Jutra ob Blejskem jezeru so vedno čarobna.
Mornings by Blejsko jezero are always magical.
Narava se prebuja, vonj sveže trave in cvetlic pa napolni zrak z novo energijo.
Nature awakens, and the scent of fresh grass and flowers fills the air with new energy.
Mateja stoji na obrežju jezera in zre v mirne, smaragdno zelene vode.
Mateja stands on the shore of the lake, gazing into the calm, emerald green waters.
Tu, sredi te lepote, se počuti doma.
Here, amidst this beauty, she feels at home.
Poskuša uživati v trenutku, toda misli ji bežijo k pomembni odločitvi, ki jo mora kmalu sprejeti.
She tries to enjoy the moment, but her thoughts drift to an important decision she must soon make.
Nova služba v tujini.
A new job abroad.
Je to res prava pot zanjo?
Is this truly the right path for her?
Andrej in Simona ji mahata s piknik dekico, pripravljeno pod staro jablano.
Andrej and Simona wave at her with a picnic blanket spread under an old apple tree.
"Mateja, pohiti!
"Mateja, hurry up!"
" se zadere Andrej, njegov glas se meša s smehom.
Andrej shouts, his voice mingling with laughter.
Simona že pripravlja domače sendviče in limonado.
Simona is already preparing homemade sandwiches and lemonade.
Njuna prisotnost je za Matejo kot topel objem.
Their presence is like a warm embrace for Mateja.
Oni so njena ekipa, njeni zavezniki v vseh trenutkih.
They are her team, her allies at all times.
"Samo trenutek!
"Just a moment!"
" odgovori Mateja ter se odpravi k njim s košaro v rokah.
Mateja replies and heads towards them with a basket in her hands.
V košari je vsega dovolj za cel dan, celo nekaj domačih peciv, ki jih je spekla prejšnji večer.
The basket holds enough for the whole day, even some homemade pastries she baked the evening before.
Ko se usede na dekico, opazi, kako se sončni žarki nežno lesketajo na površini jezera.
As she sits down on the blanket, she notices how the sun's rays gently shimmer on the surface of the lake.
"To je popoln dan za piknik," reče, poskušajoč zvabiti nasmeh na obraz.
"This is a perfect day for a picnic," she says, trying to coax a smile onto her face.
Kmalu so vsi trije zatopljeni v pogovor.
Soon, all three are engrossed in conversation.
Andrej pripoveduje zgodbe iz svojih potovanj po svetu.
Andrej tells stories from his travels around the world.
Simona se smeji njegovim zgodbam, njun smeh je nalezljiv.
Simona laughs at his stories, their laughter is contagious.
A Mateja v sebi čuti nevihto.
But within, Mateja feels a storm.
S to službo bi lahko potovala, spoznala nove ljudi, a obenem bi zapustila vse, kar ljubi tukaj.
With this job, she could travel, meet new people, but at the same time, she would be leaving behind everything she loves here.
Ko popoldne napreduje, postane njena dilema vse bolj neznosna.
As the afternoon progresses, her dilemma becomes increasingly unbearable.
Medtem ko se smejijo, Mateja začuti val poguma.
While they laugh, Mateja feels a surge of courage.
"Moram vama nekaj povedati," začne počasi.
"I have to tell you something," she starts slowly.
Njena prijatelja ji pogledata z zanimanjem.
Her friends look at her with interest.
"Daleč stran je služba, ki me mika.
"There’s a job far away that tempts me.
Vem pa, da pomeni oditi iz Slovenije.
But I know it means leaving Slovenia."
"Simona jo prime za roko.
Simona takes her hand.
"Mateja, potuj.
"Mateja, travel.
Preizkusi nekaj novega.
Try something new.
To ne pomeni, da nas zapuščaš.
This doesn’t mean you’re leaving us.
Mi bomo vedno tukaj.
We will always be here."
"Andrej prikima.
Andrej nods.
"Prav ima.
"She’s right.
Ko prideš nazaj, boš imela veliko zgod za delit.
When you come back, you’ll have plenty of stories to share.
Ali pa bomo mi prišli k tebi.
Or we’ll come to you."
"Mateja začuti olajšanje.
Mateja feels relief.
Ni več sama s svojo dilemo.
She is no longer alone with her dilemma.
Njuni besedi prinašata toplino, ki jo pomiri.
Their words bring a warmth that soothes her.
Ko se dan preveša v večer, so te misli še vedno z njo.
As the day turns into evening, these thoughts remain with her.
Opazuje, kako se sonce spušča za gorami, in začuti mir.
She watches the sun setting behind the mountains and feels at peace.
Bodisi ostati bodisi oditi, Mateja zdaj ve, da ni pomembno, kje je, dokler ima s sabo spomine teh trenutkov.
Whether to stay or leave, Mateja now knows that it doesn’t matter where she is, as long as she carries the memories of these moments with her.
In ja, odnosi s prijatelji bodo vzdržali.
And yes, her relationships with friends will endure.
Čas je za novo poglavje.
It's time for a new chapter.
Mateja se nasmehne sama sebi.
Mateja smiles to herself.
Dan ob Bledu ni bil le lep, temveč tudi začetek nečesa novega.
The day by Bled was not only beautiful but also the beginning of something new.
Z vsakim trenutkom, z odločnostjo in s prijatelji ob svoji strani, bo Mateja našla svojo pot.
With each moment, with determination and with friends by her side, Mateja will find her way.
