Matej in Natasa sta stala na obali Blejskega jezera.

Matej and Natasa stood on the shore of Blejsko jezero.

Sonce je prijetno sijalo, voda je mirno žuborela.

The sun was pleasantly shining, and the water gently rippled.

Matej je globoko vdihnil.

Matej took a deep breath.

Bil je prvi dan njihovega team-building vikenda.

It was the first day of their team-building weekend.

Natasa je že živahno klepetala s sodelavci.

Natasa was already vivaciously chatting with colleagues.

Matej se je počutil nekoliko nerodno.

Matej felt somewhat awkward.

Njegova narava je bila bolj zadržana.

His nature was more reserved.

Skupina se je začela pripravljati na prvo aktivnost—kajakaško tekmo.

The group began preparing for the first activity—a kayaking race.

Natasa je videla, kako se Matej obotavlja.

Natasa saw Matej hesitating.

Pristopila je in rekla: "Bodi del ekipe, Matej.

She approached and said, "Be a part of the team, Matej.

Počasi, korak za korakom.

Slowly, step by step."

"Matej je prikimal.

Matej nodded.

Boj znotraj njega je bil močan.

The struggle within him was strong.

Začutil je potisk k sodelovanju in sprejetju izziva.

He felt a push towards participating and accepting the challenge.

Voda na jezeru je bila hladna, ko je Matej previdno sédel v kajak.

The water on the lake was cold as Matej cautiously sat in the kayak.

Njegove roke so se tresle, ko je poprijel za veslo.

His hands trembled as he grasped the paddle.

Tekma se je začela.

The race began.

Vsi so veslali hitro in prepričljivo.

Everyone was paddling quickly and assertively.

Naenkrat je Matejeva ladja izgubila ravnotežje.

Suddenly, Matej's boat lost balance.

Z močnim pljuskom se je prevrnil v vodo.

With a loud splash, he capsized into the water.

Namesto da bi se ustrašil ali umaknil, se je Matej na glas zasmejal.

Instead of getting scared or retreating, Matej laughed out loud.

S pomočjo Natase in drugih se je hitro povzpel na varnostni čoln.

With Natasa's and others' help, he quickly climbed onto the safety boat.

"Voda je prijetno osvežujoča," je šaljivo rekel.

"The water is pleasantly refreshing," he said jokingly.

Smeh se je razlegel po čolnu.

Laughter spread across the boat.

Ta trenutek je spremenil vzdušje.

This moment changed the atmosphere.

Mateja so vsi toplo sprejeli.

Matej was warmly accepted by everyone.

Natasa je začutila, da je prebijanje ledu uspelo.

Natasa felt that breaking the ice succeeded.

Njeno subtilno spodbujanje je zadelo pravi ton.

Her subtle encouragement had hit the right note.

Ko je vikend napredoval, je Matej postajal vse bolj samozavesten.

As the weekend progressed, Matej became more confident.

Sodeloval je v pogovorih, igral družabne igre in celo šel na pohod.

He engaged in conversations, played social games, and even went for a hike.

Natasa je bila zadovoljna.

Natasa was satisfied.

Videti Mateja sproščeno in vključeno je bilo nagrajivo.

Seeing Matej relaxed and involved was rewarding.

Ob koncu vikenda je Matej hvaležno pogledal Natasa.

At the end of the weekend, Matej looked at Natasa gratefully.

"Hvala ti, da si mi dala prostor," ji je rekel.

"Thank you for giving me space," he said to her.

Natasa se je smehljala.

Natasa smiled.

Prijateljski dotik roke je bil njun tihi dogovor o skupnem uspehu.

A friendly touch of the hand was their silent agreement on shared success.

Na poti nazaj v Ljubljano je Matej gledal skozi okno avtobusa.

On the way back to Ljubljana, Matej gazed out the bus window.

Jezero Bled je počasi izginjalo iz vidika, toda občutek pripadnosti je ostal z njim.

Jezero Bled slowly faded from view, but the feeling of belonging remained with him.

Matej je vedel, da bo naslednjič, ko bo takšna priložnost, bolj sproščen.

Matej knew that next time, when such an opportunity arises, he would be more relaxed.

Njegova pot do vključitve je bil majhen, a pomemben korak.

His path to inclusion was a small but significant step.
