V jari sa mestom šíril jemný vánok.
In the spring, a gentle breeze spread through the city.
Úspešná firma naďalej rástla, v srdci mesta sa ľudia snažili udržať krok.
The successful company continued to grow, and in the heart of the city, people struggled to keep pace.
Stredobodom tohto ruchu bola medzinárodná korporácia s výhľadom na rušnú ulicu.
At the center of this bustle was an international corporation overlooking a busy street.
Chodby žili ruchom, v miestnostiach sedeli zamestnanci s pohľadmi zaborenými do monitorov.
The corridors were alive with activity, and in the rooms, employees sat with their eyes buried in monitors.
Miriam, oddaná projektová manažérka, stále sledovala čas.
Miriam, a dedicated project manager, constantly watched the clock.
V kancelárii plnej kávovej vône jej dni utekali rýchlo.
In an office filled with the aroma of coffee, her days passed quickly.
Bola usilovná, no niekedy cítila nevyslovený tlak.
She was diligent, but sometimes she felt an unspoken pressure.
Peter bol v tomto rušnom prostredí nováčikom.
Peter was a newcomer in this bustling environment.
IT špecialista, v kancelárii od konca zimy.
An IT specialist, he had been in the office since the end of winter.
Hľadal svoje miesto medzi kolegami a túžil nájsť aj niekoho, s kým by sa mohol porozprávať.
He was looking for his place among colleagues and wished to find someone to talk to.
Jedného slnečného rána sa Miriam rozhodla na chvíľu povoliť opraty a prejsť sa ku chladiču na vodu.
One sunny morning, Miriam decided to loosen the reins for a moment and walk over to the water cooler.
Cudzí ruch v kancelárii jej zastieral myšlienky, potrebovala chvíľku.
The foreign hustle in the office clouded her thoughts; she needed a moment.
Keď tam stála, pokojným momentom ju prekvapilo ticho.
Standing there, she was surprised by the silence of the peaceful moment.
„Ahoj, Miriam,“ pozdravil ju Peter, keď ju zbadal pri chladiči.
"Hi, Miriam," Peter greeted her as he spotted her by the cooler.
Stále bojuje s pocitom neistoty, ale rozhodol sa byť odvážny.
Still wrestling with feelings of uncertainty, he decided to be brave.
Usmiala sa na neho.
She smiled at him.
„Ahoj, Peter.
"Hi, Peter.
Ako sa ti darí?
How are you doing?"
“ Prišli prvé rozhovory, niektoré veselé, iné vážnejšie.
The first conversations began, some cheerful, others more serious.
„Je to vzrušujúce, ale ešte sa tu len rozkukávam,“ priznal Peter.
"It's exciting, but I'm still just finding my way around," Peter admitted.
Potom sa znova objavila tichá prestávka, kým Peter pokračoval: „Čo plánuješ na Veľkú noc?
Then there was another quiet pause before Peter continued, "What are your plans for Easter?"
“Miriam sa rozhovorilo o tradíciách.
Miriam began talking about traditions.
Od detstva milovala Veľkú noc.
She had loved Easter since childhood.
Podielila sa o svoje zážitky z maľovania kraslíc a pozvania do kostola.
She shared her experiences of painting "kraslice" (Easter eggs) and invitations to church.
Peter sa zasmial.
Peter laughed.
„Milujem kraslice tiež!
"I love kraslice too!
Ale moc ich nemaľujem.
But I don't paint them much.
Ale rád by som videl, ako to robíš.
But I'd love to see how you do it."
“Obaja pocítili iskru záujmu.
Both felt a spark of interest.
Možno to bol začiatok priateľstva.
Perhaps it was the beginning of a friendship.
„Ak chceš, môžem ťa pozvať na výstavu obrazov.
"If you want, I can invite you to an art exhibition.
Bude po Veľkej noci.
It'll be after Easter.
Rada ti ukážem svoju vášeň pre umenie,“ ponúkla Miriam s jemným úsmevom.
I'd love to show you my passion for art," Miriam offered with a gentle smile.
Po Veľkej noci sa Miriam a Peter spolu vybrali na výstavu.
After Easter, Miriam and Peter went to the exhibition together.
Peter tam bol očarený tým, ako Miriam rozprávala o umení, a Miriam si ten deň užila viac, než si myslela.
Peter was captivated by how Miriam talked about art, and Miriam enjoyed the day more than she thought she would.
Miriam pochopila, že je dôležité nájsť rovnováhu medzi prácou a osobným životom.
Miriam understood that it was important to find a balance between work and personal life.
Peter získal viac sebadôvery.
Peter gained more confidence.
Cítil sa v kancelárii viac doma.
He felt more at home in the office.
Obaja našli niečo, čo hľadali – priateľstvo a možnosť ďalších spoločných chvíľ.
Both found something they were looking for – friendship and the possibility of more shared moments.
V tejto kancelárii plnej hluku a svetla sa začalo rodiť nové puto.
In this office full of noise and light, a new bond began to form.
Bola to práve obyčajná chvíľa pri chladiči na vodu, ktorá im obom zmenila život.
It was that simple moment by the water cooler that changed both their lives.
