En: In Ljubljana, a cold wind was blowing, and the leaves rustled through the streets. Sl: V bolnišnici pa je bilo toplo. En: But inside the hospital, it was warm. Sl: Ljudje so hodili sem in tja, vsi z mislimi pri svojih najbližjih. En: People walked back and forth, all with thoughts of their loved ones. Sl: Miha je sedel v kotu čakalnice, z rokami v žepu. En: Miha sat in the corner of the waiting room, hands in his pockets. Sl: Njegova sestra Nika je bila na operaciji, na katero sta čakala že nekaj tednov. En: His sister Nika was in surgery, an operation they had been waiting for weeks to happen. Sl: Miha je bil nervozen. En: Miha was nervous. Sl: Hotel je biti močan, a ga je skrbelo. En: He wanted to be strong, but he was worried. Sl: Njegov pogled je zdrsnil na stekleni vhod, kjer so se luči odbijale v tisoč barvah. En: His gaze slipped to the glass entrance, where the lights reflected in a thousand colors. Sl: Spomnil se je zadnjega pogovora z Niko. En: He remembered his last conversation with Nika. Sl: Prepir zaradi nečesa nepomembnega. En: An argument over something insignificant. Sl: Tisto noč ni mogel spati; En: That night, he couldn't sleep; the feeling of guilt was too great. Sl: občutek krivde je bil prevelik. En: Now he sat there, powerless, alone with his thoughts. Sl: Zdaj je sedel tam, brez moči, le s svojimi mislimi. En: "This isn't fair," he whispered. Sl: "To ni pravično," je šepetnil. En: He found a piece of paper and began to write. Sl: Poiskal je papir in začel pisati. En: A letter for Nika. Sl: Pismo za Niko. En: A simple letter where he tells her that he loves her. Sl: Preprosto pismo, kjer ji pove, da jo ima rad. En: That he's sorry. Sl: Da mu je žal. En: That he cares. Sl: Da mu je mar. En: Minutes passed. Sl: Minute so minevale. En: The clock ticked. Sl: Ura je tiktakala. En: People came and went. Sl: Ljudje so vstopali in izstopali. En: Miha read his letter twice. Sl: Miha je dvakrat prebral svoje pismo. En: He was satisfied. Sl: Zadovoljen je bil. En: Now all that remained was waiting. Sl: Zdaj mu je ostalo le še čakanje. En: The phone rang. Sl: Telefon je zazvonil. En: "Mr. Sl: "Gospod Miha? En: Miha?" Sl: " rekel je zdravnik na drugi strani. En: said the doctor on the other end. Sl: "Operacija je bila uspešna, vendar bodo potrebovali več časa za okrevanje. En: "The surgery was successful, but they will need more time to recover." Sl: " Miha je olajšano izdihnil. En: Miha exhaled with relief. Sl: Njegova sestrica je bila v redu. En: His little sister was okay. Sl: V mislih se ji je zahvalil za pogum. En: In his thoughts, he thanked her for her courage. Sl: Ko je Nika odprla oči, je Miha sedel pri njeni postelji. En: When Nika opened her eyes, Miha was sitting by her bed. Sl: "Živjo, pogumna Nika," je rekel in ji podal pismo. En: "Hello, brave Nika," he said, handing her the letter. Sl: Ona se mu je rahlo nasmehnila, in svet je spet imel smisel. En: She gave him a slight smile, and the world made sense again. Sl: Miha je vedel, da se stvari ne bodo spremenile čez noč, toda bila sta skupaj. En: Miha knew that things wouldn't change overnight, but they were together. Sl: To je bilo vse, kar je potreboval. En: That was all he needed. Sl: Svet je bil hladen, a srce je bilo toplo praznično. En: The world was cold, but the heart was warm and festive. Sl: Zunaj je veter nosil vonj po zimi in pričakovanju božiča. En: Outside, the wind carried the scent of winter and the anticipation of Christmas. Sl: Tu noter pa je bil Miha ob svoji sestri, odločiljen, da bo vztrajal v vezi, ki ju je vedno združevala. En: But inside, Miha was with his sister, determined to hold onto the bond that had always united them.
