Story Transcript:
Sk: Ján stál pred dverami nemocnice.
En: Ján stood in front of the hospital doors.
Sk: V ruke držal darček.
En: He was holding a gift.
Sk: Každú návštevu pre svoju sestru Petru vždy niečo priniesol.
En: Every visit to his sister Petra he always brought something.
Sk: Bola to jeho potreba ukázať jej, že nie je sama.
En: It was his need to show her that she was not alone.
Sk: Vonku bol sneh, ľadové vločky jemne dopadali na zem.
En: Outside there was snow, icy flakes gently falling to the ground.
Sk: Pätnásť minút čakania sa zdalo nekonečných.
En: Fifteen minutes of waiting seemed endless.
Sk: Nakoniec sa dvere otvorili a on vstúpil do klinickej miestnosti.
En: Finally, the doors opened, and he entered the clinical room.
Sk: Psychiatrická oddelenie bolo tiché.
En: The psychiatric ward was quiet.
Sk: Na stenách viseli obrázky s motivačnými textami.
En: Pictures with motivational texts hung on the walls.
Sk: V rohu miestnosti bzučala slabá klimatizácia.
En: In the corner of the room, a weak air conditioner buzzed.
Sk: Ján cítil, ako mu pokojne bije srdce, ale vnútri sa zmietal.
En: Ján felt his heart beating calmly, but internally he was conflicted.
Sk: Vedel, že tu musí byť pre Petru, ale doma na neho čakala manželka a dve malé deti.
En: He knew he had to be there for Petra, but at home, his wife and two small children were waiting for him.
Sk: Keď Petra vošla, zdvihol hlavu.
En: When Petra entered, he looked up.
Sk: Vyzerala lepšie ako predchádzajúci týždeň.
En: She looked better than the previous week.
Sk: Malý úsmev sa mu objavil na perách.
En: A small smile appeared on his lips.
Sk: "Ahoj, sestrička.
En: "Hello, little sister.
Sk: Mám pre teba niečo," povedal a podal jej balíček.
En: I have something for you," he said and handed her the package.
Sk: Petra sa usmiala a jemne si ho vzala.
En: Petra smiled and gently took it.
Sk: "Ďakujem, Ján.
En: "Thank you, Ján.
Sk: Pomáhaš mi viac, než si myslíš," povedala.
En: You're helping me more than you think," she said.
Sk: Jej hlas bol tichý, ale pevný.
En: Her voice was quiet but firm.
Sk: Sadli si oproti sebe a začali sa rozprávať.
En: They sat opposite each other and began to talk.
Sk: Petra vedela, že jej brat je vyčerpaný.
En: Petra knew that her brother was exhausted.
Sk: Vedela, že mu je ťažko rozparcelovať čas medzi ňou a rodinou.
En: She knew it was hard for him to balance his time between her and his family.
Sk: "Nechcem, aby si tu bol zbytočne dlho," povedala.
En: "I don't want you to be here unnecessarily long," she said.
Sk: "Tvoja rodina ťa potrebuje.
En: "Your family needs you."
Sk: "Ján pocítil smútok.
En: Ján felt sadness.
Sk: Cítil sa zle, že nemôže byť vždy tam, kde by ho potrebovali.
En: He felt bad that he couldn't always be where he was needed.
Sk: "Snažím sa, Petra.
En: "I'm trying, Petra.
Sk: Chcem byť pre teba aj pre nich.
En: I want to be there for you and for them.
Sk: Ale je to ťažké.
En: But it's hard."
Sk: "Objatia sú najlepšou psychológiou, povedal si v duchu Ján.
En: Hugs are the best psychology, Ján thought to himself.
Sk: Postavil sa a objal svoju sestru.
En: He
