V Ljubljani, v tihem in zasneženem naselju, je Matej, varnostnik, stal na svojem nočnem delovnem mestu.

In Ljubljana, in a quiet and snow-covered neighborhood, Matej, a security guard, stood at his night post.

Zunaj je bila hladna zima, veje dreves so bile pokrite s tankim slojem snega.

Outside, it was a cold winter, the branches of the trees were covered with a thin layer of snow.

Hiše so bile okrašene z božičnimi lučkami, katerih svetloba je nežno sijala v noč.

The houses were adorned with Christmas lights, whose glow gently shone into the night.

Matej je bil predan svojemu delu.

Matej was dedicated to his work.

Ampak v srcu je čutil pomanjkanje.

But in his heart, he felt a lack.

Bilo je božično obdobje, čas za družino.

It was the Christmas season, a time for family.

Matejeva družina pa je živela daleč stran, v drugem mestu.

However, Matej's family lived far away, in another town.

Globoko v sebi je čutil žalost, ker ni mogel biti z njimi.

Deep inside, he felt sadness because he couldn't be with them.

Na svojem postajališču je Matej imel majhno skrivnost, ki ga je tolažila.

At his post, Matej had a small secret that comforted him.

Mizo je okrasil z majhnim foto albumom.

He had decorated the table with a small photo album.

Slike njegove žene in otrok so ga napolnile s toplino in ljubeznijo.

Pictures of his wife and children filled him with warmth and love.

Vsakič, ko je pogledal na slike, mu je bilo toplo pri srcu.

Every time he looked at the pictures, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Noč je bila mirna.

The night was calm.

Le redko so mimo peljali avtomobili.

Cars rarely passed by.

Matej je sedel na svojem stolu, srkal topel čaj in si mislil na srečne trenutke z družino.

Matej sat in his chair, sipping warm tea and thinking about happy moments with his family.

Nato pa, nenadoma, je njegov telefon zazvonil.

Then, suddenly, his phone rang.

Matej je hitro pogledal zaslon.

Matej quickly glanced at the screen.

Videlo se je ime njegove žene, Ana.

The name of his wife, Ana, appeared.

"Srečen božič, Matej!

"Merry Christmas, Matej!"

" je rekla Ana, ko se je video klic odprl.

said Ana when the video call opened.

Poleg nje sta stala njuna otroka, Luka in mala sestrična.

Beside her stood their children, Luka and his little cousin.

Njihovi smehi in veseli obrazi so zapolnili njegovo srce z toplino.

Their laughter and joyful faces filled his heart with warmth.

Zanje so bili na voljo samo kratki trenutki, ko so lahko skupaj preživeli prek video klica, a ti trenutki so mu pomenili vse.

They had only brief moments available when they could be together through a video call, but those moments meant everything to him.

Z njimi so izmenjali smešne zgodbe in božične pesmi.

They exchanged funny stories and Christmas songs.

Luka je igral na kitaro in pel, medtem ko je Ana pripravljala večerjo v kuhinji, vsi pa so se držali s toplino in nasmehi.

Luka played the guitar and sang while Ana prepared dinner in the kitchen, and they all held onto warmth and smiles.

Matej je čutil, kako se mu ljubezen prepleta v srcu, tudi na razdalji.

Matej felt how love intertwined in his heart, even at a distance.

Ko je konec njegove izmene prišel, je bil občutek žalosti zamenjan s hvaležnostjo.

When his shift ended, the feeling of sadness was replaced with gratitude.

Matej je razumel, da moževa ljubezen do družine premaga vsako razdaljo.

Matej understood that a husband's love for his family overcomes any distance.

Tehnologija mu je omogočila, da je del božiča delil na daljavo.

Technology had allowed him to share a part of Christmas from afar.

Z novim duhom je Matej zaključil nočno izmeno.

With a renewed spirit, Matej concluded the night shift.

Njegovo srce je bilo polno, saj je ljubezen njegove družine prekrila puste snežene poti.

His heart was full, as the love of his family covered the barren snowy paths.

Na poti domov je zaznaval, kako lučke sijajo močneje, občutek sreče pa ga je grel, kot bi bil obkrožen z njimi v resnici.

On the way home, he sensed how the lights shone brighter, and the feeling of happiness warmed him as if he were truly surrounded by them.
