En: Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport was full of people. Sl: Okoli njih se je vrstil topel jesenski veter. En: Around them swirled a warm autumn breeze. Sl: Listje dreves je bilo rdeče, oranžno in zlato. En: The leaves on the trees were red, orange, and golden. Sl: Zrak je bil hladen, a prijeten. En: The air was cold but pleasant. Sl: Dolge vrstice potnikov so stale pred okenci za prijavo. En: Long lines of passengers stood before the check-in counters. Sl: V zraku se je čutilo praznično vznemirjenje, saj so bile povsod pajčevine in buče – vse je bilo pripravljeno za noč čarovnic. En: A festive excitement was felt in the air, as cobwebs and pumpkins were everywhere – everything was ready for Halloween. Sl: Matej je stal poleg svoje sestre Zale. En: Matej stood next to his sister Zala. Sl: Bil je malo živčen. En: He was a little nervous. Sl: Vsake toliko časa je pogledal na uro. En: Every so often, he looked at his watch. Sl: "Še imamo čas, Zala. En: "We still have time, Zala. Sl: Ne skrbi," jo je potolažil, čeprav ga je skrbelo, ali bosta pravočasno ujela let. En: Don't worry," he reassured her, even though he was concerned about whether they would catch the flight on time. Sl: Zala se je nasmehnila, a njene oči so bile tam nekje daleč. En: Zala smiled, but her eyes were far away. Sl: "V redu sem, Matej," je rekla, a njen lasten nemir je bil občuten. En: "I'm okay, Matej," she said, but her own unease was noticeable. Sl: Nato, tik preden sta prišla do prijavnega pulta, se je Zala nenadoma ustavila. En: Then, just before they reached the check-in counter, Zala suddenly stopped. Sl: Njeno dihanje je postalo hitro in plitvo. En: Her breathing became fast and shallow. Sl: "Zala! En: "Zala!" Sl: " je zaskrbjeno rekel Matej. En: Matej said worriedly. Sl: Njena roka je trdno držala svojo inhalator, vendar ni pomagal. En: Her hand was tightly gripping her inhaler, but it wasn't helping. Sl: To je bila resna astmatična kriza. En: It was a serious asthma attack. Sl: Matejeve misli so divjale. En: Matej's thoughts raced. Sl: Vedel je, da nima časa čakati na reševalce. En: He knew there was no time to wait for rescuers. Sl: Matej je hitro pogledal okoli sebe. En: Matej quickly looked around. Sl: Opazil je znak za zdravstveno pomoč. En: He noticed a sign for medical assistance. Sl: "Počakaj tukaj, takoj bom nazaj," je hitro rekel in stekel do medicinske postaje. En: "Wait here, I'll be right back," he quickly said and ran to the medical station. Sl: Anže, umirjen in vešč medic, ga je pričakal z blagim nasmehom. En: Anže, a calm and skilled medic, greeted him with a gentle smile. Sl: "Potrebujemo pomoč. En: "We need help. Sl: Moja sestra, astma," je izdahnil Matej, ko je zlomil dih. En: My sister, asthma," Matej gasped, catching his breath. Sl: Anže je vzel nujno torbo in skupaj z Matejem tekel nazaj k Zali. En: Anže took an emergency bag and, together with Matej, ran back to Zala. Sl: Anže je hitro in mirno ukrepal. En: Anže acted quickly and calmly. Sl: Strokovno ji je pomagal dihati, uporabil dodatni inhalacijski pripomoček in počasi je Zalin obraz dobil nazaj svojo običajno barvo. En: He expertly helped her breathe, used an additional inhalation device, and slowly Zala's face regained its usual color. Sl: "V redu boš, Zala," jo je nežno spodbudil. En: "You’ll be okay, Zala," he gently encouraged her. Sl: Še vedno prestrašena, a že bolje, se je Zala zahvalila Anžetu. En: Still frightened but already better, Zala thanked Anže. Sl: "Hvala, brez vas ne bi zmogla," je sapo zajela z olajšanjem. En: "Thank you, I couldn't have managed without you," she took a breath with relief. Sl: Matej je hvaležno stisnil roke Anžetu. En: Matej gratefully shook Anže's hands. Sl: "Iskrena hvala. En: "Sincere thanks. Sl: Ne vemo, kaj bi storili brez vas. En: We don't know what we would have done without you." Sl: "Anže se je le nasmehnil. En: Anže just smiled. Sl: "To je moj poklic. En: "It's my job. Sl: Samo skrbite za zdravje in srečno potovanje. En: Just take care of your health and safe travels." Sl: "Ko sta Matej in Zala odhajala proti terminalu, je Matej že razmišljal, kako bo odslej vedno imel pripravljeno medicinsko torbo pri sebi. En: As Matej and Zala headed toward the terminal, Matej was already thinking about how he would always have a medical bag ready with him in the future. Sl: Naučil se je ogromno iz te izkušnje. En: He learned a lot from this experience. Sl: Zala se je naslonila nanj, še vedno občutno utrujena, a srečna, da gredo lahko naprej. En: Zala leaned on him, still noticeably tired, but happy they could continue. Sl: Sledila sta množici ljudi, še vedno v duhu noči čarovnic, pripravljena na nove avanture. En: They followed the crowd of people, still in the spir
