Matej je sedel na leseni klopi v parku Tivoli.

Matej was sitting on a wooden bench in Tivoli park.

Senca kostanjev ga je hladila pred poletno vročino.

The shade from the chestnut trees cooled him from the summer heat.

Sonce je sijalo skozi liste, ptice pa so peli svoje pesmi.

The sun shone through the leaves, and birds sang their songs.

Okoli njega so bile družine, prijatelji in parčki.

Around him were families, friends, and couples.

Vsi so uživali v sproščenem popoldnevu.

Everyone was enjoying the relaxed afternoon.

Vendar pa je Matej čutil tesnobo.

However, Matej felt anxious.

Danes je bil njegov rojstni dan, dan, ki ga je želel preživeti z Ana in Gregorjem.

Today was his birthday, a day he wanted to spend with Ana and Gregor.

Vedel je, da njegova sramežljivost lahko uniči ta dan.

He knew that his shyness could ruin the day.

Mislil je tudi, da nista opazila njegovega posebnega dne.

He also thought that they probably hadn't noticed his special day.

Potihem si je želel, da bi bila ta dan nekaj posebnega, nekaj, kar bi prekinilo njegovo običajno rutino.

Secretly, he wished for this day to be something special, something that would break his usual routine.

Kmalu sta Ana in Gregor prišla.

Soon, Ana and Gregor arrived.

Prinesla sta piknik košaro.

They brought a picnic basket.

"Živjo, Matej!

"Hi, Matej!"

" je rekla Ana z nasmehom.

said Ana with a smile.

"Kako si?

"How are you?"

" Matej je nasmehnil nazaj, a v sebi je še vedno čutil cmok.

Matej smiled back, but inside he still felt a lump.

Po tleh so razporedili odejo in odprli košaro.

They spread a blanket on the ground and opened the basket.

V košari so bila različna živila: sendviči, sadje, sladoled.

Inside, there were various foods: sandwiches, fruit, ice cream.

A Matej ni videl ničesar, kar bi namignilo na praznovanje rojstnega dne.

But Matej didn't see anything that hinted at celebrating a birthday.

Ko so pojedli, je Matej zbral pogum.

After they ate, Matej gathered courage.

"Kaj če bi igrali kakšno igro?

"How about we play a game?"

" je predlagal.

he suggested.

"Lahko igramo enko ali nekaj drugega.

"We can play Enka or something else."

" Gregor je navdušeno prikimal.

Gregor nodded enthusiastically.

"Super ideja, Matej!

"Great idea, Matej!"

"Čas je hitro minil.

Time flew by quickly.

Gledali so pare, ki so se sprehajali po drevoredu, in se smejali zgodba iz preteklosti.

They watched couples strolling down the avenue and laughed at stories from the past.

Matej je začel pozabljati svojo zaskrbljenost.

Matej began to forget his worries.

Kljub temu je del njega še upal na kakšno presenečenje.

Despite this, a part of him still hoped for some kind of surprise.

Nato je Ana vstala.

Then Ana stood up.

"Hej, Matej, greva pogledat nekaj cvetlic tamle!

"Hey, Matej, let's go check out some flowers over there!"

" Prikimala je proti bližnjemu kotičku parka.

She nodded toward a nearby corner of the park.

Matej jo je nerodno pospremil.

Matej awkwardly accompanied her.

Gregor je ostal zadaj pri odeji.

Gregor stayed back by the blanket.

Ko sta se vrnila, je Matej opazil nekaj novega na odeji.

When they returned, Matej noticed something new on the blanket.

Na njej je bil skrit drug del košare, in znotraj se je svetilo nekaj prekrasnega: njegova najljubša čokoladna torta.

A hidden part of the basket revealed itself, and inside, something beautiful shone: his favorite chocolate cake.

"Vse najboljše, Matej!

"Happy birthday, Matej!"

" sta zaklicala Ana in Gregor.

shouted Ana and Gregor.

Matej je bil presenečen in srečen.

Matej was surprised and happy.

Veselo je objel svoje prijatelje.

He joyfully hugged his friends.

Toplina njihove prijateljstva ga je napolnila z veselim občutkom.

The warmth of their friendship filled him with a joyful feeling.

Čutil se je opažen in cenjen.

He felt seen and appreciated.

Tisti popoldanski dan v Tivoliju mu je prinesel smeh in prijetne trenutke.

That afternoon in Tivoli brought him laughter and pleasant moments.

Matej je spoznal, da ga prijatelji cenijo in da ga imajo radi.

Matej realized that his friends valued him and loved him.

Na koncu dneva so Matej, Ana in Gregor na klopi opazovali sončni zahod.

At the end of the day, Matej, Ana, and Gregor watched the sunset from the bench.

Matej je bil miren.

Matej was peaceful.

Vedel je, da ima zanesljive prijatelje.

He knew he had reliable friends.

"Hvala vam," je rekel Matej.

"Thank you," said Matej.

Kar koli prihodnost prinese, vedel je, da bo s prijatelji lažje.

Whatever the future brings, he knew it would be easier with friends.
