Story Transcript:
Sk: Marika kráčala po kamenných uliciach Starého Mesta.
En: Marika walked through the cobblestone streets of the Staré Mesto.
Sk: Jeseň sa pomaly vliekla ako farebné plátno nad Bratislavou.
En: Autumn crept slowly like a colorful canvas over Bratislava.
Sk: Stromy lemovali chodníky, ich lístie spadalo na zem a vytváralo žlto-oranžový koberec.
En: The trees lined the sidewalks, their leaves falling to the ground, creating a yellow-orange carpet.
Sk: Dnes však nebola zaujatosť krásou jesennej scény, ale svojimi myšlienkami.
En: However, today she wasn't captivated by the beauty of the autumn scene, but by her thoughts.
Sk: Bol to deň, ktorý si vybrala na stretnutie s bratom Jozefom.
En: It was the day she chose to meet with her brother Jozef.
Sk: Roky nekomunikovali.
En: They hadn't communicated for years.
Sk: Bohužiaľ, napätie medzi nimi rástlo z minulosti a pohlcovalo ich vzťah.
En: Unfortunately, tension from the past had grown between them and consumed their relationship.
Sk: Marika nebola sama.
En: Marika wasn't alone.
Sk: Nepohyblivá ticha, vedľa nej kráčal Tibor, jej bratranec.
En: In the stillness beside her walked Tibor, her cousin.
Sk: Bol vždy ten, ktorý držal rodinu pohromade.
En: He was always the one who held the family together.
Sk: "Tak, Marika, si pripravená?
En: "So, Marika, are you ready?"
Sk: " pýtal sa Tibor, keď zastali pred malou, útulnou kaviarňou na rohu ulice.
En: Tibor asked as they stopped in front of a small, cozy café on the corner of the street.
Sk: Oči Mariky odrážali odhodlanie, no aj obavy.
En: Marika's eyes reflected determination but also apprehension.
Sk: "Musím to spraviť, Tibor," povedala.
En: "I have to do it, Tibor," she said.
Sk: "Chcem, aby sme boli zas rodina.
En: "I want us to be a family again."
Sk: "Vošli do kaviarne, kde ich privítali vône čerstvo mletej kávy.
En: They entered the café, where they were greeted by the aroma of freshly ground coffee.
Sk: Sedeli pri okne, kým vonku jemne pršalo.
En: They sat by the window while a gentle rain fell outside.
Sk: Po chvíli čakania sa objavil Jozef.
En: After a while, Jozef appeared.
Sk: Jeho príchod bol rezervovaný.
En: His arrival was reserved.
Sk: Sedol si k nim a najprv nastalo ticho.
En: He sat down with them, and at first, there was silence.
Sk: Marika sa zhlboka nadýchla.
En: Marika took a deep breath.
Sk: "Jozef, potrebujem s tebou hovoriť," začala jemne.
En: "Jozef, I need to talk to you," she began gently.
Sk: "Čo je?
En: "What is it?"
Sk: " odpovedal stroho Jozef, stále pochybujúc.
En: Jozef responded curtly, still doubtful.
Sk: Marika vedela, že musí byť úprimná.
En: Marika knew she had to be honest.
Sk: Počas rozhovoru medzi nimi narastalo napätie.
En: During the conversation, tension between them grew.
Sk: Jozef nechcel hovoriť o minulosti.
En: Jozef didn't want to talk about the past.
Sk: Každá zmienka o rodine spôsobovala, že sa jeho oči plnili hnevom.
En: Every mention of family caused his eyes to fill with anger.
Sk: Ale Marika vedela, že je jediná cesta vpred.
En: But Marika knew there was only one way forward.
Sk: Musela odhaliť staré tajomstvo, o ktorom Jozef možno nikdy nevedel.
