Sl: Na letališču Jože Pučnik je poletni dan živahen.
En: At Jože Pučnik Airport, the summer day is lively.
Sl: Obrazi ljudi, ki hitijo skozi terminal, so polni pričakovanj in načrtov.
En: The faces of people rushing through the terminal are full of expectations and plans.
Sl: Mateja, 28-letna ženska, stoji ob oknu in gleda letala, ki pristajajo in vzletajo.
En: Mateja, a 28-year-old woman, stands by the window watching planes land and take off.
Sl: Ravno se je vrnila z poslovne poti in komaj čaka, da se vrne domov.
En: She has just returned from a business trip and can't wait to get back home.
Sl: Deveti mesec nosečnosti je in komaj čaka, da spozna svojega otroka.
En: She is in her ninth month of pregnancy and eagerly anticipates meeting her child.
Sl: Mateja je močna in neodvisna.
En: Mateja is strong and independent.
Sl: Vedno je želela vse urejati sama, ne glede na okoliščine.
En: She has always wanted to manage everything herself, regardless of the circumstances.
Sl: A ravno ko načrtuje, da bo vzela taksi domov, začuti ostro bolečino.
En: But just as she plans to take a taxi home, she feels a sharp pain.
Sl: Na njene ustnice se prikrade rahel nasmeh, ki hitro izgine, zamenjan z zaskrbljenostjo.
En: A slight smile creeps onto her lips, which quickly fades, replaced by concern.
Sl: "Ne zdaj," zašepeta sama sebi.
En: "Not now," she whispers to herself.
Sl: Pogleda okoli sebe, iščoč pomoč.
En: She looks around for help.
Sl: Pogled ji obstane na Tomažu, članu osebja letališča, ki poln energije pomaga potnikom.
En: Her gaze lands on Tomaž, an airport staff member energetically assisting passengers.
Sl: Mateja si ne želi povzročati preplaha, zato mu potiho pristopi in reče: "Oprostite, mislim, da grem v porod.
En: Mateja doesn't want to cause a panic, so she approaches him quietly and says, "Excuse me, I think I'm going into labor.
Sl: Potrebujem pomoč.
En: I need help."
Sl: "Tomaž takoj začuti odgovornost.
En: Tomaž immediately feels a sense of responsibility.
Sl: "Seveda, pomagali vam bomo," odgovori mirno in Matejo usmeri proti bolj osamljenemu kotičku terminala.
En: "Of course, we'll help you," he replies calmly and directs Mateja to a more secluded corner of the terminal.
Sl: Hkrati pokliče medicinsko pomoč.
En: At the same time, he calls for medical assistance.
Sl: V naslednjih trenutkih, ko čas teče hitro in počasi hkrati, Tomaž ostane ob Mateji, ji prinaša vodo, jo pomirja z blagimi besedami in zaupnim stiskom roke.
En: In the following moments, as time ticks both quickly and slowly, Tomaž stays by Mateja's side, bringing her water, calming her with gentle words, and offering a reassuring hand squeeze.
Sl: Njen obraz je bled, a oči odražajo odločnost.
En: Her face is pale, but her eyes reflect determination.
Sl: Ko pridejo paramediki, postane jasno, da je treba ukrepati tukaj in zdaj.
En: When the paramedics arrive, it's clear that action is needed here and now.
Sl: Medtem ko na letališče pronica poletna svetloba skozi velika okna, se mali novorojenček rodi.
En: As the summer light filters through the large airport windows, a tiny newborn is delivered.
Sl: Njegov prvi jok preglasi brenčanje letališča.
En: His first cry drowns out the airport's hum.
Sl: Mateja globoko vdihne, v srcu občutek zmage in olajšanja.
En: Mateja takes a deep breath, feeling triumphant and relieved.
Sl: Gleda Tomaža s hvaležnostjo in mu reče: "Hvala vam.
En: She looks at Tomaž with gratitude and says, "Thank you.
Sl: Nisem si mislila, da bom morala sprejeti pomoč, a ste bili neverjetni.
En: I didn't think I would need to accept help, but you were amazing."
Sl: "Tomaž ji nežno pokima, občutek ponosa ga prežema.
En: Tomaž gently nods, a sense of pride overcoming him.
Sl: Ve, da je delno zaradi nje našel novo samozavest v svojih sposobnostih.
En: He knows that, in part because of her, he has found newfound confidence in his abilities.
Sl: Na letališču se življenje vrne k običajnemu vrvežu, a za Matejo in Tomaža je svet zdaj malo drugačen.
En: Life at the airport returns to its usual bustle, but for Mateja and Tomaž, the world is now a little different.
Sl: Mateja se nauči, da je včasih v redu sprejeti pomoč.
En: Mateja learns that it's sometimes okay to accept help.
Sl: Tomaž pa odkriva, kako pomembno je biti tam za druge, tudi v najbolj nepredvidljivih trenutkih.
En: Tomaž discovers how important it is to be there for others, even in the most unpredictable moments.
