Story Transcript:

Sl: Pod svetlim pomladnim nebom so cvetovi češenj padali kot snežinke.
En: Under the bright spring sky, the cherry blossoms fell like snowflakes.

Sl: Anže in Tjaša sta stala na obali Blejskega jezera in gledala proti otoku.
En: Anže and Tjaša stood on the shore of Blejski Lake, looking towards the island.

Sl: Dan je bil lep in všeč jima je bilo poslušati valovanje vode.
En: The day was beautiful, and they enjoyed listening to the lapping of the water.

Sl: A spokojnost trenutka je prekinilo brenčanje njunih misli o družinskem srečanju, ki ju je čakalo.
En: But the tranquility of the moment was interrupted by the buzzing of their thoughts about the family gathering that awaited them.

Sl: Anže je bil tih in vedno razumen.
En: Anže was quiet and always sensible.

Sl: Ljubil je svojo družino, a pogosto si je želel neodvisnost.
En: He loved his family, but often desired independence.

Sl: Zanj so bile stvari jasne.
En: Things were clear to him.

Sl: Želel je le miren izlet na Blejsko jezero, vendar je družinska drama vedno našla pot do njega.
En: He just wanted a peaceful trip to Blejsko Lake, but family drama always found its way to him.

Sl: Tjaša, njegova sestrična, je bila njegova popolna nasprotje.
En: Tjaša, his cousin, was his complete opposite.

Sl: Bila je glasna, vedno pripravljena na nove pustolovščine.
En: She was loud, always ready for new adventures.

Sl: Ni ji bilo mar za družinske tradicije – želela je svobodo.
En: She didn’t care for family traditions – she wanted freedom.

Sl: Ko sta hodila ob jezeru, je Anže rekel: "Tjaša, danes si želim samo miren dan.
En: As they walked by the lake, Anže said, "Tjaša, today I just want a peaceful day."

Sl: ""Okej," mu je odgovorila ona.
En: "Okay," she replied.

Sl: "Ampak iskreno, ali želiš to?
En: "But honestly, do you really want that?"

Sl: "Anže ni odgovoril, a vedel je, da je Tjaša zaznala njegovo resnično željo.
En: Anže didn’t answer, but he knew that Tjaša sensed his true desire.

Sl: Želel je več.
En: He wanted more.

Sl: Želel je povedati svojo resnico družini.
En: He wanted to tell his truth to the family.

Sl: Kosilo pri Blejskem gradu je bilo vse prej kot mirno.
En: Lunch at Blejski Castle was anything but peaceful.

Sl: Družinske pričakovanja in opombe so visele v zraku kot težki oblaki.
En: Family expectations and comments hung in the air like heavy clouds.

Sl: Anže je tiho sedel, gledal v krožnik in čutil, kako rase napetost.
En: Anže sat quietly, looking at his plate and feeling the tension grow.

Sl: Nenadoma je Tjaša vstala.
En: Suddenly, Tjaša stood up.

Sl: "Dovolj je," je rekla glasno.
En: "Enough," she said loudly.

Sl: "Anže ima nekaj, kar želi povedati.
En: "Anže has something he wants to say."

Sl: "Vsi so utihnili in pogledali Anžeta.
En: Everyone fell silent and looked at Anže.

Sl: Srce mu je hitro utripalo, a občutil je Tjašino podporo, ki je bila kot topel veter v hrbet.
En: His heart beat quickly, but he felt Tjaša's support, which was like a warm breeze at his back.

Sl: "Ne želim več samo sedeti in kimati," je rekel s tresočim glasom.
En: "I don’t want to just sit and nod anymore," he said with a trembling voice.

Sl: "Želim biti neodvisen.
En: "I want to be independent.

Sl: Želim svoja pravila.
En: I want my own rules."

Sl: "V prostoru je nastala tišina.
En: The room fell silent.

Sl: Nekateri so se počasi začeli nasmihati, drugi zavijati z očmi.
En: Some slowly began to smile, others rolled their eyes.

Sl: A pomembno je bilo, da je Anže spregovoril.
En: But what mattered was that Anže had spoken.

Sl: Popoldne se je iztekel in sonce je začelo zahajati.
En: The afternoon drew to a close, and the sun began to set.

Sl: Anže in Tjaša sta se odpravila nazaj k jezeru, kjer ju je čakala majhna čoln.
En: Anže and Tjaša headed back to the lake, where a small boat awaited them.

Sl: Sedla sta vanj in počasi odveslala stran od obale.
En: They sat in it and slowly rowed away from the shore.

Sl: "Mislim, da si na pravi poti," je rekla Tjaša s pogledom na blejski otok, ki je bil obsijan s poslednjimi žarki sonca.
En: "I think you're on the right path," said Tjaša, looking at the Blejski island bathed in the last rays of the sun.

Sl: "Ja," je pritrdil Anže.
En: "Yeah," Anže agreed.

Sl: "Hvala, ker si mi pomagala biti pogumen.
En: "Thank you for helping me be brave."

Sl: "Sedela sta v čolnu in gledala modrino, ki ju je obdajala.
En: They sat in the boat and gazed at the blue expanse surrounding them.

Sl: Razumela sta, da jima bo jezero vedno nudilo zatočišče in prostor za premislek.
En: They understood that the lake would always offer them refuge and a place for reflection.

Sl: In tako sta sklenila, da bosta odslej podpirala drug drugega na njunih potovanjih k svobodi in samostojnosti.
En: And so, they decided that from now on, they would support each other on their journeys to freedom and independence.
