Mateja in Bojan sta se ustavila na robu jezera Bled.

Mateja and Bojan stopped at the edge of Lake Bled.

Okoli njiju je bila zimska pravljica.

Around them was a winter wonderland.

Sneg je pokrival pokrajino kot mehka bela odeja.

Snow covered the landscape like a soft white blanket.

V daljavi se je dvigal otok s cerkvico, obdan z meglenim plaščem skrivnosti.

In the distance, an island with a church rose, surrounded by a misty cloak of mystery.

Na novoletni večer sta se odpravila na pohod, da bi skupaj praznovala in našla mir v svojem razmišljanju.

On New Year's Eve, they set out for a hike to celebrate together and find peace in their thoughts.

"Kako je tu lepo," je rekla Mateja in se nasmehnila.

"It's so beautiful here," said Mateja with a smile.

Njene oči so sijale v hladnem zimskem soncu.

Her eyes sparkled in the cold winter sun.

Sanjala je o prihodnosti, o tem, kako bo povezala svojo ljubezen do narave s svojimi sanjami.

She dreamed of the future, of how she would connect her love for nature with her dreams.

Bojan jo je opazoval z mešanico občudovanja in skrbi.

Bojan watched her with a mixture of admiration and concern.

Njegova čustva so že leta tiho tlela v njem.

His feelings had quietly simmered within him for years.

Ko sta hodila po ozki poti skozi gozd, je bilo vse tiho razen hrustanja snega pod njunimi čevlji.

As they walked along the narrow path through the forest, everything was silent except for the crunching of snow under their feet.

Nenadoma je Matejina noga spodrsnila na ledeni plošči.

Suddenly, Mateja's foot slipped on an icy patch.

Spustila je rahel krik in omahnila na tla.

She let out a soft cry and stumbled to the ground.

Bojan je hitro stopil do nje, počepnil in jo zaskrbljeno pogledal.

Bojan quickly stepped to her, crouched, and looked at her worriedly.

"Mateja, zdi se, da si se poškodovala," je rekel, in ji pomagal vstati.

"Mateja, it seems you've hurt yourself," he said and helped her to stand.

"Bi nadaljevala pot ali naj se vrnemo?

"Do you want to continue or should we head back?"

"Mateja je stisnila zobe.

Mateja gritted her teeth.

"Ne, nadaljujva.

"No, let's continue.

Nočem, da mi to pokvari najin dan.

I don't want this to ruin our day."

" Bila je odločena, močna, a Bojan je v njenih očeh videl bolečino.

She was determined, strong, but Bojan saw the pain in her eyes.

S počasnimi koraki sta nadaljevala, Bojan jo je podpirala, dokler nista prišla do velikega starega borovca ob robu jezera.

With slow steps, they continued, Bojan supporting her, until they reached a large old pine tree by the lake's edge.

Sneženje se je okrepilo, in pod drevesom sta našla zavetje.

The snowfall intensified, and under the tree, they found shelter.

Mateja se je utrujena naslonila na deblo, njen duh je bil nekoliko zlomljen, a njen ponos še vedno trden.

Tired, Mateja leaned against the trunk, her spirit somewhat broken, but her pride still intact.

"Tukaj je resnično čarobno," je Bojan dejal, da bi jo razvedril.

"It's really magical here," Bojan said to cheer her up.

"Ampak včasih razmišljam, da ne rabiš vedno vsega videti sama.

"But sometimes I think you don't always need to see everything alone."

"Mateja je pogledala Bojana, in med njima je zavladala tišina, polna neizrečenih besed.

Mateja looked at Bojan, and a silence full of unspoken words fell between them.

"Mislim, da sem včasih preponosna, da bi prosila za pomoč," je tiho priznala.

"I think sometimes I'm too proud to ask for help," she quietly admitted.

Bojan si je oddahnil.

Bojan sighed with relief.

"Mateja, vedno bom tukaj, ne samo kot prijatelj.

"Mateja, I'll always be here, not just as a friend.

Rad te imam.

I love you."

" Besede so bile preproste, a napolnjene z resnico in občutki, ki jih je dolgo časa skrival.

The words were simple, yet filled with truth and feelings he had hidden for a long time.

Mateja je dvignila pogled.

Mateja looked up.

Počutila se je krhko in hkrati osvobojeno.

She felt fragile yet liberated.

"Tudi jaz te imam rada, Bojan.

"I love you too, Bojan.

Morda sem bila preveč osredotočena nase, iskala odgovore, pa so bili tako blizu.

Maybe I was too focused on myself, seeking answers that were so close."

"Pod starim borovcem, medtem ko so snežinke plesale okoli njiju, sta se oba zasmejala in objela.

Under the old pine tree, as snowflakes danced around them, they both laughed and embraced.

Njune sanje so ostale, vendar zdaj povezane z resničnostjo skupnega življenja, ki je obetalo toliko več.

Their dreams remained, but now intertwined with the reality of a shared life that promised so much more.

S pogledom na zasneženo pokrajino, obljubljata eno drugemu novo poglavje svojega odnosa.

Looking at the snowy landscape, they pledged to one another a new chapter of their relationship.

Svetloba lake Bled je ostajala priča njuni zavezi, preprosti a globoki, v duhu novega leta, ki šepeta novega začetka.

The light of Lake Bled bore witness to their commitment, simple yet profound, in the spirit of the new year, which whispered of a new beginning.
