Sk: Marek sedel na tvrdej lavičke v letisku Bratislava.
En: Marek sat on the hard bench in letisko Bratislava.

Sk: Bol jeseň, vietor vonku fúkal listy okolo a obloha bola sivá.
En: It was autumn, the wind outside blew leaves around, and the sky was gray.

Sk: Marekovi pohľad spočinul na elektronickej tabuli s odletmi.
En: Marekovi gaze rested on the electronic departure board.

Sk: Červené písmená mu oznámili zlú správu – let do Paríža oneskorený.
En: The red letters informed him of the bad news – the flight to Paris was delayed.

Sk: Marek si povzdychol a pozrel na hodinky.
En: Marek sighed and looked at his watch.

Sk: Vedel, že má len tri hodiny do začiatku dôležitej schôdzky v Paríži.
En: He knew he had only three hours until the start of an important meeting in Paris.

Sk: Táto schôdzka mohla zmeniť budúcnosť jeho firmy, ale teraz to vyzeralo, že všetko je v ohrození.
En: This meeting could change the future of his company, but now it looked like everything was at risk.

Sk: Marek bol vždy presný a teraz mal pocit, že stráca kontrolu.
En: Marek was always punctual, and now he felt like he was losing control.

Sk: Rozhliadol sa po letisku.
En: He looked around the airport.

Sk: Rodičia s deťmi sa hrali s mobilmi, obchodní cestujúci písali na notebookoch a vôňa čerstvej kávy sa šírila vzduchom.
En: Parents with children played with phones, business travelers typed on their laptops, and the smell of fresh coffee wafted through the air.

Sk: Pri vedľajšom stĺpe stála žena.
En: A woman stood by the nearby pillar.

Sk: Mohla mať okolo tridsiatky.
En: She might have been around thirty.

Sk: Hnedé vlasy jej splývali po pleci a v ruke držala knihu.
En: Her brown hair fell on her shoulder, and she held a book in her hand.

Sk: Marek si všimol, že hľadá podobné tabule ako on.
En: Marek noticed she was searching for similar boards as he was.

Sk: "Ospravedlňujem sa," oslovil ju, "tiež čakáte na let do Paríža?
En: "Excuse me," he addressed her, "are you also waiting for the flight to Paris?"

Sk: ""Áno," odpovedala usmievavá Anna.
En: "Yes," replied the smiling Anna.

Sk: "Počula som, že je ešte jedna možnosť, iný let cez Viedeň.
En: "I heard there is another option, a different flight through Vienna.

Sk: Ale nie som si istá.
En: But I'm not sure."

Sk: "Marek pocítil iskierku nádeje.
En: Marek felt a spark of hope.

Sk: "Skutočne?
En: "Really?

Sk: Nebude to príliš riskantné?
En: Won't that be too risky?"

Sk: ""Možno.
En: "Maybe."

Sk: " Anna pokrčila plecami.
En: Anna shrugged.

Sk: "Ale niečo musíme skúsiť, ak chceme stihnúť naše plány.
En: "But we have to try something if we want to make our plans."

Sk: "Marek chvíľu premýšľal.
En: Marek thought for a moment.

Sk: Mal by skúsiť nájsť alternatívu?
En: Should he try to find an alternative?

Sk: Alebo čakať?
En: Or wait?

Sk: Rozhodol sa však, že niečo musí urobiť.
En: He decided that he had to do something.

Sk: S Anninou pomocou našli ďalší let a rýchlo ho rezervoval.
En: With Anna's help, they found another flight and quickly booked it.

Sk: Vo chvíli, keď sa rozhodli konať, pocítil, že čas beží rýchlejšie.
En: The moment they decided to act, he felt like time was moving faster.

Sk: Obaja sa presunuli k novému terminálu.
En: Both moved to the new terminal.

Sk: Cez sklo pozorovali, ako sa konečne objavilo lietadlo na dráhe.
En: Through the glass, they observed as the plane finally appeared on the runway.

Sk: Keď Marek sedel v lietadle, vedel, že spravil správne rozhodnutie.
En: When Marek sat in the plane, he knew he had made the right decision.

Sk: Vatoval jazdu z Bratislavy do Viedne taxi, a aj keď čas bežal, cítil sa už pokojnejšie.
En: He took a taxi ride from Bratislava to Viedeň, and even though time was ticking, he felt calmer.

Sk: Keď sa lietadlo dotklo zeme v Paríži, vydýchol si úľavou.
En: When the plane touched down in Paris, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sk: Bolo práve načas na začiatok jeho stretnutia.
En: He was just in time for the start of his meeting.

Sk: Uvedomil si, že niekedy je nutné sa prispôsobiť situácii a že hoci je dôležité byť presný, nemôže ovplyvniť všetko.
En: He realized that sometimes it's necessary to adapt to the situation and that while it's important to be punctual, he can't control everything.

Sk: Marek poďakoval Anne a sľúbil, že zostanú v kontakte.
En: Marek thanked Anna and promised to keep in touch.

Sk: S úsmevom kráčal k východu z letiska, pripravený na svoju schôdzku.
En: With a smile, he walked toward the airport exit, ready for his meeting.

Sk: Naučil sa, že život nie je len o kontrole, ale aj o dôvere v proces a schopnosti prispôsobiť sa.
En: He learned that life is not just about control, but also about trusting the process and the ability to adapt.
