En: That afternoon on the Tromostovje was magical. Sl: Jesenske listje je plesalo pod nogami mimoidočih, ki so se našli na mostu, oblečeni v fantazijske kostume. En: Autumn leaves danced under the feet of passers-by who found themselves on the bridge, dressed in fantasy costumes. Sl: Luči so nežno osvetljevale stare mostove, Ljubljana pa je bila pripravljena na praznovanje Halloween-a. En: Lights gently illuminated the old bridges, and Ljubljana was ready to celebrate Halloween. Sl: Bojan, profesor književnosti, je hodil po mostu. En: Bojan, a literature professor, was walking across the bridge. Sl: V srcu je čutil praznino. En: He felt an emptiness in his heart. Sl: Najti je želel navdih, ki bi oživil njegove besede. En: He wanted to find inspiration that would revive his words. Sl: Ljubljanska zgodovina ga vedno privlači, a zdaj je bil v ustvarjalnem krču. En: The history of Ljubljana always attracted him, but now he was in a creative block. Sl: Na Tromostovju je iskal dušo mesta, ki bi lahko prižgala iskrico v njem. En: On the Tromostovje, he sought the soul of the city that could ignite a spark within him. Sl: Marjeta je ravno končala dolgo izmeno v lokalni ambulanti. En: Marjeta had just finished a long shift at the local clinic. Sl: Potrebovala je svež zrak in sprehod po mostu je bil kot nalašč. En: She needed some fresh air, and a walk on the bridge was just perfect. Sl: S sabo je imela majhno medicinsko torbo - po navadi, če bi kdo potreboval pomoč. En: She carried a small medical bag with her—just in case anyone needed help. Sl: V srcu je tlela želja po raziskovanju starih ljudskih zgodb, a obveznosti so bile povsod. En: In her heart, there was a lingering desire to explore old folk tales, but obligations were everywhere. Sl: Bojan se je ustavil na sredini mostu. En: Bojan stopped in the middle of the bridge. Sl: Opazoval je reko in ljudi okoli sebe. En: He watched the river and the people around him. Sl: A nenadoma, zmeden zaradi množice in s pritiskom na prsih, je izgubil zavest. En: But suddenly, confused by the crowd and with pressure on his chest, he lost consciousness. Sl: Marjeta, ki je bila le nekaj metrov stran, je takoj opazila padec. En: Marjeta, who was only a few meters away, immediately noticed the fall. Sl: Brez pomisleka je stekla k njemu. En: Without hesitation, she ran to him. Sl: "Bojan, ste v redu? En: "Bojan, are you okay?" Sl: " je vprašala, ko ga je previdno podprla. En: she asked as she carefully supported him. Sl: Njene medicinske veščine so hitro zavzele nadzor, merila je njegov pulz in počasi ga dvignila na klop blizu mostu. En: Her medical skills quickly took over; she measured his pulse and slowly lifted him onto a bench near the bridge. Sl: Ko se je Bojan vrnil k sebi, je bila Marjeta še vedno ob njem, skrbna in topla. En: When Bojan regained consciousness, Marjeta was still by his side, caring and warm. Sl: "Hvala, mislim, da sem bil preobremenjen," je priznal sramotno. En: "Thank you, I think I was overwhelmed," he admitted sheepishly. Sl: "Zgodilo se je," je rekla Marjeta, "Halloween norija je vsepovsod. En: "It happens," Marjeta said. Sl: Bi radi slišali kakšno zgodbo z duhom? En: "The Halloween craze is everywhere. Sl: " Dodala je z nasmeškom, da bi ga potolažila. En: Would you like to hear a ghost story?" Sl: Bojan je prikimal, in tako se je začela njuna razprava. En: she added with a smile to comfort him. Sl: Marjeta je govorila o starodavnih slovenskih pravljicah, o skrivnostih gozda, ki jih je raziskovala za projekt. En: Bojan nodded, and thus began their conversation. Sl: Bojan je govoril o poeziji in zgodovini mesta, ki je bila povsod okoli njiju. En: Marjeta spoke about ancient Slovenian fairy tales, about the mysteries of the forest she was researching for a project. Sl: Njune besede so tekle kakor reka pod mostom, mirno in spontano. En: Bojan talked about poetry and the city's history, which surrounded them. Sl: Ko sta končala pogovor, sta oba našla nekaj, kar sta iskala. En: Their words flowed like the river under the bridge, calm and spontaneous. Sl: Bojan je bil navdihnjen, moči so mu podelile sveže zamisli, kako v svojem pisanju povezati zgodovino in magijo. En: When they finished their conversation, both had found something they were looking for. Sl: Marjeta pa je dobila pogum, da svoja zanimanja za folkloro bolj prepleta s študijem medicine. En: Bojan was inspired, his energies were replenished with fresh ideas on how to connect history and magic in his writing. Sl: Ko sta se poslovila, je Ljubljanski večer postal še bolj čaroben. En: Marjeta gained the courage to intertwine her interest in folklore more closely with her medical studies. Sl: Tromostovje je sijalo v novem duhu, ki st
