V stari Ljubljani, kjer veter nežno igra z listjem, stoji majhna čajna trgovina z vonjem po zeliščnih čajih.

In old Ljubljana, where the wind gently plays with the leaves, there stands a small tea shop with the aroma of herbal teas.

V notranjosti je toplo in prijetno, s s pritajeno svetlobo in lesenimi policami, polnimi lončkov čajnih listov.

Inside, it is warm and cozy, with soft lighting and wooden shelves full of jars of tea leaves.

Ob oknu sedi Matej, objokan in zamaknjen v misli.

By the window sits Matej, tearful and lost in thought.

Njegova dlan se nežno dotika skodelice vročega čaja.

His hand gently touches a cup of hot tea.

Matej je učitelj zgodovine.

Matej is a history teacher.

Rad ima preteklost in nostalgijo.

He loves the past and nostalgia.

Danes pa ga preveva tesnoba glede prihodnosti.

Today, however, he is filled with anxiety about the future.

Nedavno so mu postavili diagnozo kronične bolezni.

He was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness.

Težko mu je sprejeti resnico.

It is hard for him to accept the truth.

Misli na svojo hčer Zalo, ki je na univerzi.

He thinks of his daughter Zala, who is at university.

Boleče je ne vedeti, ali naj ji pove ali ne.

It pains him not to know whether to tell her or not.

Ana, dolgoletna Matejeva prijateljica, se mu nasmehne izza pulta.

Ana, Matej's longtime friend, smiles at him from behind the counter.

Njena toplota mu ponuja oporo, ki jo potrebuje.

Her warmth offers him the support he needs.

Prisedla je k njemu, ko je opazila njegov nekoliko žalosten izraz na obrazu.

She sat down with him when she noticed his somewhat sad expression.

»Matej, vse bo v redu.

"Matej, everything will be alright.

Vem, da je težko,« reče Ana mehko.

I know it's difficult," says Ana softly.

Njen glas je tolažilen, podoben mehki, topli odeji.

Her voice is comforting, like a soft, warm blanket.

Matej dvigne pogled in vzdihne.

Matej looks up and sighs.

»Ana, ne vem, kaj naj naredim glede Zale.

"Ana, I don't know what to do about Zala.

Naj ji povem, ali naj jo pustim, da uživa svoje življenje brez skrbi?

Should I tell her, or should I let her enjoy her life without worries?"

«Ana malce pomisli, njene oči pa se zaiskrijo.

Ana thinks for a moment, and her eyes light up.

»Zala te ima rada.

"Zala loves you.

Radostna je, ko je z vami.

She's happy when she's with you.

Morda je včasih dobro ostati v sedanjosti in uživati lepe trenutke.

Maybe sometimes it's good to stay in the present and enjoy the beautiful moments."

"Med tem pogovorom začne zunaj nenadoma deževati.

During this conversation, it suddenly starts to rain outside.

Hitri hudourni oblaki sprostijo svoj tovor, in dež prijetno tapka po strehah.

Swift storm clouds release their burden, and the rain pleasantly taps on the roofs.

Mateju zavibrira telefon.

Matej's phone vibrates.

Je video klic od Zale.

It's a video call from Zala.

S presenečenjem ga sprejme.

He accepts it with surprise.

»Očka!

"Dad!

Prejela sem štipendijo!

I've received a scholarship!

Prihajam domov za praznike,« vzklikne Zala, njen obraz na zaslonu poln sreče.

I'm coming home for the holidays," exclaims Zala, her face on the screen full of happiness.

Matej začuti toploto v srcu, a tehta tudi sence, ki ležijo nad njim.

Matej feels warmth in his heart, yet weighs the shadows hovering over him.

»Čestitam, moja draga,« reče Matej, skoraj pozabivši na svojo skrb.

"Congratulations, my dear," says Matej, almost forgetting his worries.

»To je res super novica!

"That's really great news!"

« Zala je navdušena.

Zala is thrilled.

Matej vidi, kako pomembno je biti z njo v tem trenutku.

Matej sees how important it is to be with her in this moment.

Odloči se še ne razkriti svojih novic in se osredotoči na praznovanje Zalinega uspeha.

He decides not to reveal his news yet and focuses on celebrating Zala's success.

Ko klic konča, nasloni glavo v dlani.

When the call ends, he rests his head in his hands.

Naš tradicionalni dan spomina na preminule je blizu, in v misli mu pride ideja o vrednosti lepih spominov.

The traditional day of remembrance for the deceased is near, and the idea of the value of beautiful memories comes to his mind.

Ana ga opazno začuti.

Ana noticeably feels it.

»Vidiš, Matej.

"You see, Matej.

So trenutki, ko je sedanjost vse, kar potrebujemo,« reče Ana nežno.

There are moments when the present is all we need," says Ana gently.

Matej rahlo prikima, odločajoč se, da bo užival trenutke z Zalo in drugimi, ki jih ljubi.

Matej nods slightly, deciding to enjoy the moments with Zala and others he loves.

Obda ga občutek miru, vedoč, da življenje, kljub temni nevihti, nosi tudi svetlobo.

He is enveloped in a sense of peace, knowing that life, despite the dark storm, also carries light.

Iz trgovine se odpravita skupaj, vsak s svojim šalom ovit okrog vratu, vesoč pomembnost tistih trenutkov, ki osvetljujejo tudi najtemnejše dni.

They leave the shop together, each with a scarf wrapped around their neck, weighing the importance of those moments that illuminate even the darkest days.

Odločitev, da se bo osredotočil na sedanjost, je Mateju prinesla novo moč.

The decision to focus on the present has brought Matej new strength.
