Na prvi jesenski dan, ko listje Ljubljanskega centralnega trga obarva okoliške ulice v zlate in oranžne odtenke, se Miha odpravi na tržnico.

On the first autumn day, when the leaves of Ljubljanski Central Market transform the surrounding streets into shades of gold and orange, Miha heads to the market.

Z vetrom, ki nosi vonj po svežih jabolkah, korenju in cvetlicah, je trg poln življenja.

With the wind carrying the scent of fresh apples, carrots, and flowers, the market is full of life.

Ljudje se gnetejo med stojnicami, da bi izbrali najboljšo svežo zelenjavo.

People crowd around the stalls to pick the best fresh vegetables.

Miha, slaščičar po poklicu, hodi proti stojnici z jabolki.

Miha, a confectioner by profession, walks toward the apple stall.

Njegov cilj je jasen: najti popolna jabolka za pito svoje pokojne babice.

His goal is clear: to find the perfect apples for the pie of his late grandmother.

Ta pita je bila vedno osrednji del družinskih srečanj na Dan mrtvih.

This pie was always the centerpiece of family gatherings on All Souls' Day.

Vsako leto ga spomni na babičine zgodbe in smeh ob kuhinjski mizi.

Each year, it reminds him of his grandmother's stories and laughter at the kitchen table.

Medtem ko hodi, opazi svojo staro prijateljico Jasno.

As he walks, he notices his old friend Jasna.

Stoji pri cvetlični stojnici, uredila je šopek krizantem, tradicionalnih cvetov za ta poseben dan v letu.

She is at the flower stall, arranging a bouquet of chrysanthemums, the traditional flowers for this special day of the year.

Jasna je videti zaskrbljena zaradi premajhne prodaje.

Jasna looks worried about the low sales.

Ko ga zagleda, se ji obličje razvede.

When she sees him, her face lights up.

"Miha!

"Miha!

Kaj te prinaša sem?

What brings you here?"

" ga pozdravi in obriše roke ob predpasnik.

she greets, wiping her hands on her apron.

Miha ji razloži svojo nalogo in zaprosi za priporočilo.

Miha explains his task and asks for her recommendation.

A skupaj se spomnita na Bora, nekdanjega sošolca in Mihovega rivala na trgu.

Together, they remember Bor, a former schoolmate and Miha's rival at the market.

Bor že od šolskih dni goji zamero, saj je Miha nekoč osvojil prvo nagrado na pekovskem tekmovanju, na kateri je Bor izgubil.

Bor has harbored resentment since school days because Miha once won first prize at a baking competition, where Bor lost.

Miha se odloči nadaljevati po trgu sam.

Miha decides to continue through the market alone.

Med hojo po tlakovanem dvorišču ga pritegne stojnica s čudovitimi jabolki.

As he walks on the cobblestone courtyard, a stall with beautiful apples catches his eye.

Toda Bor je tam, z nasmehom, ki mu ga Miha ne zaupa.

But Bor is there, with a smile Miha doesn't trust.

"Imam najboljša jabolka zate," pravi Bor, in mu ponudi zaboj.

"I have the best apples for you," says Bor, offering him a crate.

A Miha opazi, da nekaj ni prav.

But Miha notices something is off.

Jabolka niso tako sveža kot so videti.

The apples aren't as fresh as they look.

Razočaran se vrne k Jasni, nespremenjen v svoji odločenosti, a nekoliko zaskrbljen.

Disappointed, he returns to Jasna, unchanged in his resolve but slightly concerned.

Jasna mu svetuje, naj govori z Borom.

Jasna advises him to talk to Bor.

Morda ga prijaznost prepriča, da pomaga.

Maybe kindness will persuade him to help.

Miha zbere pogum in se sooči z Borom.

Miha gathers courage and confronts Bor.

"Bilo bi lepo, če bi lahko pozabila na stare zamere," reče Miha iskreno.

"It would be nice if we could forget about old grievances," says Miha sincerely.

Bor zmrači čelo, nato se sprošči.

Bor frowns, then relaxes.

Zdi se, kot da končno razume opozorilo dobre volje.

It seems he finally understands the indication of goodwill.

"Prav, Miha," reče spravljivo.

"Alright, Miha," he says conciliatorily.

"Spremeni mnenje.

"I've changed my mind.

Pridi z menoj.

Come with me."

" Bor ga odpelje do stojnici na drugem koncu trga, kjer prodajalci ponujajo sveža, sočna jabolka.

Bor leads him to a stall at the other end of the market, where vendors offer fresh, juicy apples.

Miha se nasmehne, hvaležno pogleda Bora in kupi jabolka.

Miha smiles, looks gratefully at Bor, and purchases the apples.

Ko se vrača k Jasni, občuti nekaj več kot samo veselje - spozna moč sprave in skupnosti.

As he returns to Jasna, he feels something more than just joy—he recognizes the power of reconciliation and community.

In na Dan mrtvih bo domača pita še posebej sladka, z vonjem po prijateljstvu in novem začetku.

And on All Souls' Day, the homemade pie will be especially sweet, with a scent of friendship and new beginnings.
