Sk: Vôňa čerstvo uvarenej kávy sa šírila kaviarničkou na rohu živého bratislavského námestia.
En: The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the coffee shop on the corner of a bustling Bratislava square.

Sk: Vonku sa listy hádzali vo vetre ako malé farebné papierové lietadlá.
En: Outside, leaves danced in the wind like small colorful paper airplanes.

Sk: September prechádzal do októbra a s ním prišlo aj očakávanie Jesenného festivalu padlých listov.
En: September was turning into October, bringing with it the anticipation of the Autumn Festival of Fallen Leaves.

Sk: Jana sedela pri stole pri okne.
En: Jana sat at a table by the window.

Sk: Pred sebou mala horúci čaj a na zvonivom obrazovke mobilu nesmejavo blikala správa: "Vlak do Banskej Bystrice mešká. Ďalšia informácia čoskoro."
En: In front of her was a steaming cup of tea, and on her ringing phone screen, a message shyly blinked: "The train to Banská Bystrica is delayed. More information soon."

Sk: Povzdychla si.
En: She sighed.

Sk: Každý rok sa tešila na festival. Domov, rodina, vône tradičných jedál a smiech až do noci.
En: Every year, she looked forward to the festival—home, family, the smell of traditional foods, and laughter that lasted into the night.

Sk: Tento rok však bol iný.
En: But this year was different.

Sk: Matej, sympatický mládenec, s ktorým sa len pred týždňom zoznámila, si sadol k nej.
En: Matej, a charming young man she had met just a week ago, sat down with her.

Sk: "Máme čas, vlaky majú stále problémy," povedal s úsmevom, ktorý dokázal roztopiť aj chladný severný vietor.
En: "We've got time, the trains are always having issues," he said with a smile that could melt even the cold northern wind.

Sk: Jana ho chvíľu pozorovala.
En: Jana watched him for a moment.

Sk: Bol očarujúci, inteligentný, ale tiež cudzí.
En: He was charming, intelligent, but also a stranger.

Sk: Popíjali kávu a hovorili o slobode cestovania, knihách a o tom, čo prináša jeseň.
En: They sipped their coffee and talked about the freedom of travel, books, and what autumn brings.

Sk: Netrvalo dlho a Lukáš, jej starý priateľ zo školy, ktorý náhodou práve prechádzal Bratislavou, sa k nim pridal.
En: It wasn't long before Lukáš, her old school friend who happened to be passing through Bratislava, joined them.

Sk: "Jana, ahoj! Nechcela by si ísť na chvíľu von? Potrebujem s tebou niečo prebrať," povedal.
En: "Jana, hi! Would you like to go out for a moment? I need to discuss something with you," he said.

Sk: Jeho hlas bol tichý, no bolo v ňom niečo viac než obvykle.
En: His voice was quiet, but there was something more in it than usual.

Sk: Vonku sa listy krútili v jemnom daždi a dvojica si našla útočisko pod starým stromom v parku.
En: Outside, leaves swirled in a gentle rain, and the pair found refuge under an old tree in the park.

Sk: "Vieš, Jana," začal Lukáš, "je niečo, čo som ti chcel povedať už dávno.
En: "You know, Jana," Lukáš began, "there's something I wanted to tell you for a long time.

Sk: Mám ťa rád, viac než len ako priateľku."
En: I like you, more than just as a friend."

Sk: Jana bola zaskočená.
En: Jana was taken aback.

Sk: Lukáš bol vždy niekto, na koho sa mohla spoľahnúť.
En: Lukáš had always been someone she could rely on.

Sk: Nikdy si však nepomyslela, že by to mohlo byť viac než priateľstvo.
En: She never thought it could be more than friendship.

Sk: V srdci sa jej odohrával boj.
En: A battle played out in her heart.

Sk: Matej bol nový, vzrušujúci, no Lukáš bol známy a bezpečný.
En: Matej was new and exciting, but Lukáš was familiar and safe.

Sk: Vrátia sa do kaviarne, kde ich privítalo teplo a tlmený smiech.
En: They returned to the coffee shop, welcomed by warmth and muffled laughter.

Sk: Jana vzala svoj telefón a sledovala novú správu: "Stále žiadne nové informácie o vlaku."
En: Jana picked up her phone and saw a new message: "Still no new information about the train."

Sk: Matej ju pozoroval.
En: Matej watched her.

Sk: "Ak chceš, môžeme čakať spolu.
En: "If you want, we can wait together.

Sk: Alebo, viem, že je tam aj neskorší autobus, ak by si chcela ešte chvíľu stráviť so mnou."
En: Or, I know there's a later bus, if you'd like to spend a little more time with me."

Sk: Jana sa pozrela na Lukáša, ktorý sa na ňu kučeravo usmial, trochu rozpačito, ale úprimne.
En: Jana looked at Lukáš, who gave her a curly smile, somewhat shy but sincere.

Sk: Náhle vedela, čo musí urobiť.
En: Suddenly, she knew what she had to do.

Sk: Autobus môže byť neskorší, ale ona vie, kam naozaj patrí.
En: The bus might come later, but she knew where she truly belonged.

Sk: "Ďakujem, Matej," usmiala sa na neho Jana.
En: "Thank you, Matej," Jana smiled at him.

Sk: "Ale myslím, že dnes vezmem iný smer."
En: "But I think I'll take a different path today."

Sk: Za ruku chytila Lukáša a užívala si teplo jeho dlane.
En: She took Lukáš's hand and cherished the warmth of his palm.

Sk: Keď autobus konečne dorazil, Jana si sadla vedľa Lukáša.
En: When the bus finally arrived, Jana sat beside Lukáš.

Sk: Cesta bola dlhá, no jej srdce bolo ľahšie.
En: The journey was long, but her heart was lighter.

Sk: Vo vzduchu bola vôňa domova, festival a lásky, ktorá bola blízko, aj keď ju tak dlho prehliadala.
En: In the air was the scent of home, the festival, and love that was close, even though she had overlooked it for so long.

Sk: A takto sa rozhodla byť s tými, ktorých miluje.
En: And so, she chose to be with those she loved.

Sk: Na kaviareň sa spomínalo len ako na miesto, kde si uvedomila, čo je pre ňu naozaj dôležité.
En: The coffee shop was remembered only as the place where she realized what truly mattered to her.
