Megla je nežno ovijala stavbo Centralne psihiatrične bolnišnice v Ljubljani.

The fog gently wrapped itself around the building of the Centralna psihiatrična bolnišnica in Ljubljana.

Jesenske barve so napolnile pokrajino, listje je padalo na tla, in zrak je bil poln tiste prijetne hladnosti, ki jo prinaša oktober.

Autumn colors filled the landscape, leaves fell to the ground, and the air was full of that pleasant chill that October brings.

Znotraj bolnišnice so pisani okraski za noč čarovnic krasili stene.

Inside the hospital, colorful Halloween decorations adorned the walls.

Buče so se smejale z oddelkov, duhovi iz papirja so viseli s stropa, medtem ko so si pacienti in osebje prizadevali ustvariti svetlo vzdušje v tem sicer strogem in sterilnem okolju.

Pumpkins laughed from the wards, paper ghosts hung from the ceiling, as patients and staff strove to create a bright atmosphere in this otherwise strict and sterile environment.

Mateja je počasi hodila po hodniku.

Mateja walked slowly down the hallway.

Vedela je, kaj mora narediti.

She knew what she had to do.

Njene misli so bile usmerjene na brata Aleša.

Her thoughts were focused on her brother Aleš.

Že mesece je bil v bolnišnici.

He had been in the hospital for months now.

Njuna vez je bila močna, a zdaj je bil Aleš vse bolj zaprt vase.

Their bond was strong, but lately, Aleš had become increasingly withdrawn.

Mateja si je želela razumeti, kaj ga tare, in morda najti pot nazaj do njega.

Mateja wanted to understand what troubled him and perhaps find a way back to him.

Na vratih Aleševe sobe je trkala nežno.

She knocked gently on Aleš's room door.

Zala, prijazna sestra, je odprla vrata in ji pokimala, da lahko vstopi.

Zala, the kind nurse, opened it and nodded to let her in.

"Dovoljeno je obisk," je rekla s toplim nasmehom.

"Visiting is allowed," she said with a warm smile.

Mateja je zadihala in stopila v svetlo sobo.

Mateja took a deep breath and stepped into the bright room.

Aleš je sedel ob oknu, gledal je ven v nič.

Aleš sat by the window, staring out into nothingness.

"Živjo, Aleš," je rekla mehko.

"Hello, Aleš," she said softly.

Ni odgovoril.

He didn’t respond.

Mateja je pripravila svoj načrt.

Mateja had prepared her plan.

S seboj je prinesla platno, čopiče in barve.

She had brought with her a canvas, brushes, and paints.

"Pomisli na vse te buče in duhce," je rekla v upanju, da bo zvabil nekaj odziva.

"Think of all those pumpkins and ghosts," she said, hoping to evoke some response.

"Morda bi rad naslikal kaj strašljivega?

"Maybe you'd like to paint something spooky?"

" Aleš je najprej ostal molčeč, a na koncu je vzel čopič.

At first, Aleš remained silent, but eventually, he picked up a brush.

Medtem ko je risal, so barve začele govoriti.

As he painted, the colors began to speak.

Temačne sence in svetli oranžni odtenki so zaplesali na platnu.

Dark shadows and bright orange hues danced on the canvas.

Zale je stala ob strani in lovila vsako malenkost.

Zala stood by, catching every detail.

Mateja je pazljivo spremljala, nato pa, nepričakovano, je Aleš spregovoril.

Mateja watched carefully, and then, unexpectedly, Aleš spoke.

"Nekaj me straši, Mateja," je šepetal.

"Something frightens me, Mateja," he whispered.

"Ne tu, ampak v meni.

"Not here, but within me."

" Njihove oči so se srečale in Matejina ljubezen je bila kot svetilnik v temni noči.

Their eyes met, and Mateja's love was like a lighthouse in a dark night.

Aleš je nadaljeval z risanjem in slikal svojo notranjo temo.

Aleš continued to paint his inner darkness.

Mateja je razumela njegovo tišino, začutila njegovo bolečino pa tudi željo po izboljšanju.

Mateja understood his silence, sensed his pain, and his desire for improvement.

Zala je nežno položila roko na Aleševo ramo.

Zala gently placed a hand on Aleš's shoulder.

"Prav je, da izraziš, kar čutiš," je rekla.

"It's right to express what you feel," she said.

Ko sta platno končala, je na njem nastala podoba, ki je kazala begajočo jezo in strahove pa tudi tihe trenutke upanja.

When they finished the canvas, it displayed an image showing wavering anger and fears, but also quiet moments of hope.

Mateja je stisnila bratovo roko.

Mateja squeezed her brother's hand.

"Tu sem zate, Aleš," je šepnala.

"I'm here for you, Aleš," she whispered.

"Nisi sam.

"You are not alone."

"Ko je bil čas za odhod, je Mateja začutila spremembo v sebi.

As it was time to leave, Mateja felt a change within herself.

Razumela je, da potrebujeta čas.

She understood that they needed time.

Aleš jo je spremljal z očmi, ko je stopila proti vratom.

Aleš followed her with his eyes as she headed towards the door.

Vedel je zdaj, da ga ni pozabila.

He knew now that he was not forgotten.

Počasi je zapustila stavbo.

She slowly left the building.

Nasmehnila se je ob pogledu na nežne okraske za noč čarovnic v veži.

She smiled at the sight of the gentle Halloween decorations in the hall.

Jesen je prinesla hladen zrak, a v njeni duši je bilo toplo.

Autumn brought a cold air, but in her soul, it was warm.

V njenem srcu je to bil začetek dolge poti zdravljenja in povezovanja.

In her heart, it marked the beginning of a long journey of healing and reconnecting.
