Bratislava je krásna v lete.

Bratislava is beautiful in the summer.

Staré mesto jej dodáva zvláštnu atmosféru.

The old town gives it a special atmosphere.

Marek kráča po námestí.

Marek walks through the square.

Počasie je premenlivé.

The weather is changeable.

Marek je grafický dizajnér.

Marek is a graphic designer.

Má rád, keď všetko okolo neho dáva zmysel.

He likes it when everything around him makes sense.

Dnes chce skúsiť niečo nové.

Today he wants to try something new.

Jeho kamarát Ján mu často vraví, aby sa nebál komunikovať.

His friend Ján often tells him not to be afraid to communicate.

Ale Marek je introvert.

But Marek is an introvert.

Zrazu začne pršať.

Suddenly, it starts to rain.

Letná búrka prichádza nečakane.

A summer storm comes unexpectedly.

Marek hľadá úkryt.

Marek looks for shelter.

Vidí malú kaviareň na rohu.

He sees a small café on the corner.

Tam sa rýchlo schová.

He quickly hides there.

Vnútri je útulne.

Inside it is cozy.

Sedí pri okne, počúva dážď a sleduje, ako kvapky tancujú po skle.

He sits by the window, listens to the rain, and watches the droplets dance on the glass.

Kaviareň je plná šepotu rozhovorov.

The café is filled with whispering conversations.

Marek vníma vôňu kávy a čerstvého pečiva.

Marek takes in the aroma of coffee and fresh pastries.

V tom čase vojde Zuzana.

Just then, Zuzana walks in.

Má úsmev na tvári, aj keď je premočená.

She wears a smile on her face, even though she is soaked.

Otrepe si kvapky z vlasov a objedná si čaj.

She shakes the droplets from her hair and orders tea.

Bez toho, aby si Marek uvedomil, sa posadí oproti nemu.

Before Marek realizes it, she sits across from him.

"Príjemné miesto, však?

"Pleasant place, isn't it?"

" pýta sa Zuzana.

Zuzana asks.

Marek prekvapene prikývne.

Marek nods in surprise.

"Áno," odpovedá ticho, cíti, ako sa jeho neistota rozmýva spolu s dažďom za oknom.

"Yes," he answers quietly, feeling his uncertainty wash away with the rain outside the window.

Zuzana je novinárka, má rada ľudí a príbehy, ktoré sa za nimi skrývajú.

Zuzana is a journalist, she loves people and the stories behind them.

Spýtavo sa na Mareka usmieva.

She smiles at Marek inquisitively.

"Pracuješ tu niekde?

"Do you work around here?"

" chce vedieť.

she wants to know.

Marek začína hovoriť o svojej práci.

Marek starts talking about his work.

O živej grafike, ktorú tvorí občas pre kultúrne podujatia v meste.

About the vibrant graphics he sometimes creates for cultural events in the city.

Zuzana pozorne počúva.

Zuzana listens intently.

Rozprávajú sa o dizajne, umení, o Bratislave.

They talk about design, art, Bratislava.

Aj o rodine a snoch.

Also about family and dreams.

V čase, keď búrka ustáva, Marek zisťuje, že sa cíti dobre.

By the time the storm subsides, Marek realizes he feels good.

Už necíti guču v hrdle.

He no longer feels a lump in his throat.

Naopak, cíti kúsok radosti.

On the contrary, he feels a hint of joy.

Zuzana je zaujímavá a priateľská.

Zuzana is interesting and friendly.

Musí sa však vrátiť do práce.

However, she has to return to work.

Je čas rozhodnúť sa.

It's time to make a decision.

Marek si posúva okuliare na nose a zhromažďuje odvahu.

Marek adjusts his glasses on his nose and gathers the courage.

"Môžem ťa pozvať niekedy na kávu?

"Can I invite you for coffee sometime?"

" pýta sa, jeho hlas je znova tichý, ale rozhodný.

he asks, his voice quiet again, but resolute.

Zuzana sa usmeje ešte širšie.

Zuzana smiles even wider.

"Rada," odpovedá a na servítke napíše svoj telefón.

"I'd love that," she replies and writes her phone number on a napkin.

Marek srdce poskočí od nadšenia.

Marek's heart leaps with excitement.

Cíti, že spravil správne.

He feels he made the right move.

Ako Zuzana odchádza, prebúdza sa v ňom pocit zmeny.

As Zuzana leaves, he awakens to a sense of change.

Už sa neľaká.

He is no longer scared.

Je to len začiatok, ale krásny.

It's just the beginning, but a beautiful one.

Podobne ako leto v Bratislave.

Much like summer in Bratislava.

Marek sa usmieva a vníma, ako slnko pomaly preráža mraky nad starým mestom.

Marek smiles and observes the sun slowly breaking through the clouds over the old town.

Je čas žiť naplno.

It's time to live fully.

Možno začal nový príbeh.

Perhaps a new story has begun.
