Story Transcript:
Sk: Čičmany.
En: Čičmany.
Sk: Dedina plná malebných drevených domčekov posunutých nad freskami, kvitnúcich kvietkov a stúpajúcej vône čerstvo navrátivšieho jara.
En: A village full of picturesque wooden houses adorned with frescoes, blossoming flowers, and the rising scent of the freshly returned spring.
Sk: Nie je tam hlučné mesto, iba ticho, pokoj a šum vtáčikov.
En: There is no noisy city, only silence, peace, and the chirping of birds.
Sk: V ten slnečný víkend sa Marek, Ivana a Zuzana stretli, aby spolu strávili čas a zdieľali príbehy z posledného roka.
En: That sunny weekend, Marek, Ivana, and Zuzana met to spend time together and share stories from the past year.
Sk: Marek sa cítil zranený po nedávnom rozchode.
En: Marek was feeling hurt after a recent breakup.
Sk: Hľadal útechu a porozumenie od svojich priateľov.
En: He sought comfort and understanding from his friends.
Sk: Ivana naopak, mala radostnú, ale znepokojujúcu novinku.
En: Ivana, on the other hand, had exciting but unsettling news.
Sk: Dostala prácu v zahraničí.
En: She got a job abroad.
Sk: Chcela im to oznámiť, ale bála sa, ako to príjmu.
En: She wanted to tell them but was afraid of how they would take it.
Sk: Zuzana, zvyčajne tá, ktorá drží skupinu pohromade, cítila tenziu vo vzduchu a obávala sa prípadného rozdelenia ich priateľstva.
En: Zuzana, usually the one who keeps the group together, felt the tension in the air and feared the potential splitting of their friendship.
Sk: Pri prechádzke dedinou Zuzana otvorene rozprávala o svojej túžbe udržať ich skupinu blízko, aj keď je to ťažké.
En: During a walk through the village, Zuzana openly talked about her desire to keep their group close, even if it's hard.
Sk: Príroda okolo ich upokojovala.
En: The nature around them calmed them.
Sk: Kde-tu sa zastavili a pozreli na okázalé tradičné kresby na domoch.
En: Here and there, they stopped and looked at the ornate traditional paintings on the houses.
Sk: "Pozrite, aké krásne, ako dávajú domov pocit zvláštnej jednoty," povedala Zuzana.
En: "Look, how beautiful, how they give the homes a sense of special unity," said Zuzana.
Sk: Pri večeri Marek obdivoval Ivanu, ako rozprávala o rozhodnutí ísť do cudziny.
En: At dinner, Marek admired Ivana as she spoke about her decision to go abroad.
Sk: Zároveň sa však neubránil pocitu straty.
En: At the same time, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
Sk: "Čo keď sa všetko zmení?
En: "What if everything changes?"
Sk: " opýtal sa smutným hlasom.
En: he asked in a sad voice.
Sk: Ivana vtedy cítila prázdno, vedomasť, že ich bude musieť nechať.
En: Ivana then felt emptiness, knowing she would have to leave them.
Sk: S tichou prosebou v očiach zbierala odvahu, ktorú cítila odhodila počas cesty.
En: With a silent plea in her eyes, she gathered the courage she felt she had lost during the journey.
Sk: Atmosféra stuhla, ale Zuzana, ktorá bola zvyknutá na mierovú rolu, nedokázala viac skrývať vlastný strach.
En: The atmosphere grew tense, but Zuzana, who was used to playing the peacemaker role, could no longer hide her own fear.
Sk: "Nie je povinnosťou iba mňa držať nás spolu," povedala im tichým hlasom.
En: "It's not just my responsibility to keep us together," she told them in a quiet voice.
Sk: "Musíme byť
