Bala sem se, kaj boš mislil o meni."En: But I was so afraid... Afraid of what you would think of me."Sl: Anže je čakal.En: Anže waited.Sl: Čutil je, kako ljudje okoli njiju praznujejo, polni smeha in veselja zaradi velikonočnih praznikov.En: He felt how people around them celebrated, full of laughter and joy because of Easter holidays.Sl: Toda zdaj je bila pomembna le njuna povezanost in resnica, ki je morala na dan.En: But now, only their connection and the truth that needed to come out were important.Sl: Živa je nežno ujela njegove roke.En: Živa gently caught his hands.Sl: "Imam preteklost, ki sem jo želela pozabiti.En: "I have a past that I wanted to forget.Sl: Nisem vedela, kako bi ti povedala.En: I didn’t know how to tell you.Sl: Boji me, da bi izgubila vse, kar imava."En: I’m afraid of losing everything we have."Sl: Anže jo je stisnil za roke in z očmi, polnimi razumevanja, je dejal:En: Anže squeezed her hands and, with eyes full of understanding, said:Sl: "Ni ti treba sama nositi tega bremena, Živa.En: "You don’t have to carry this burden alone, Živa.Sl: Skupaj bomo našli pot.En: Together, we’ll find a way.Sl: Iskrenost naju lahko le še bolj poveže."En: Honesty can only connect us more."Sl: S postopnim nasmehom, ki je razsvetlil njen obraz, je Živa začutila olajšanje.En: With a gradual smile that lit up her face, Živa felt relief.Sl: Končno je začela deliti svojo zgodbo, o preteklosti, ki jo je bila poskušala zanikati, a sedaj je našla pogum, da jo sooči.En: She finally began sharing her story, about a past she had tried to deny, but now found the courage to face.Sl: Anžetova podpora ji je dala moč, da se je odprla.En: Anže’s support gave her the strength to open up.Sl: Na koncu njunega pogovora je bilo jasno, da sta oba zrasla – Anže v svojem pogumu in želji po neovirani povezavi, Živa v sposobnosti biti ranljiva in iskrena.En: By the end of their conversation, it was clear they had both grown—Anže in his courage and desire for an open connection, Živa in the ability to be vulnerable and honest.Sl: Pomlad v Ljubljani in njuni duši je bila svetlejša, svet obetov za prihodnost pa se je razprostiral pred njima, kakor mesto pod Nebotičnikom.En: Spring in Ljubljana and in their souls was brighter, the world of possibilities for the future stretched out before them, like the city below the Nebotičnik.Sl: Na obzorju so zvonili zvonovi Velike noči, ki so prinašali novo upanje in spodbudo, da je resnica vedno pot do močne ljubezni in prijateljstva.En: On the horizon, the bells of Easter chimed, bringing new hope and encouragement that truth is always the path to strong love and friendship.
