Jozef sedel na terase s úžasným výhľadom na pobrežie Amalfi.
Jozef sat on the terrace with an amazing view of the Amalfi Coast.
Pred ním sa rozprestierali strmé útesy a pod nimi sa tiahla nekonečná modrá hladina mora.
Before him stretched steep cliffs, and below them lay the endless blue surface of the sea.
Bol jeseň a vzduch omámil jemnou chladnosťou, ktorá ho nútila zamýšľať sa nad tým, čo to vlastne znamená byť súčasťou rodiny.
It was autumn, and the air had a gentle chill that made him ponder what it truly means to be part of a family.
Už niekoľko rokov nevidel svoju sestru Annu a ich veselého bratranca Marka.
It had been several years since he last saw his sister Anna and their cheerful cousin Marek.
Anna sedela na schodoch, sledovala vtáky letieť ponad more a myslela na minulosť.
Anna sat on the steps, watching the birds fly over the sea, and thought about the past.
Mala vždy tvrdohlavú povahu, ale v jej srdci vždy bola láska k Jozefovi.
She always had a stubborn nature, but in her heart, there was always love for Jozef.
V detstve boli nerozlučiteľní, až kým ich cesty nerozdelil čas a práce.
In childhood, they were inseparable until time and work parted their ways.
Marek, s rozpakmi v očiach, priniesol na stôl tanier čerstvých talianskych pomarančov.
Marek, with embarrassment in his eyes, brought a plate of fresh Italian oranges to the table.
"Pozrime sa," povedal so smiechom, "aké máme šťastie, že sme tu, aj keď bez sviatkov.
"Let's see," he said with a laugh, "how lucky we are to be here, even without holidays."
""Šťastie," zamrmlal Jozef a pozrel do diaľky, "to si dávno neuvedomujem.
"Lucky," Jozef mumbled, looking into the distance, "I haven't realized that in a long time."
"Večer sa celý dom ponoril do vône pečeného chleba a olív, ktoré nám Anna pripravila.
In the evening, the whole house was filled with the aroma of baked bread and olives that Anna prepared.
Slnko pomaly zapadalo a vytváralo mäkký zlatý lesk na hladine mora.
The sun slowly set, creating a soft golden glow on the sea's surface.
Jozef cítil, že je čas prekonať napätie.
Jozef felt it was time to overcome the tension.
Pri večeri Jozef zdvihol pohár a povedal: "Pamätáte si, keď sme ako deti tancovali pod hviezdami v záhrade babičky?
At dinner, Jozef raised his glass and said, "Do you remember when we danced under the stars as kids in grandma's garden?
Vtedy nám stačili drobné radosti.
Back then, little joys were enough for us."
"Anna prikývla a v očiach jej zasvietil lesk starých spomienok.
Anna nodded, and the light of old memories shone in her eyes.
Dokonca aj Marek, ktorý mal večne veselý výraz, stíchol.
Even Marek, who always had a cheerful expression, fell silent.
"Viac ako tie spory, chýbajú mi tie chvíle," pokračoval Jozef, "a neviem, prečo sme ich nechali utiecť.
"More than those arguments, I miss those moments," Jozef continued, "and I don't know why we let them slip away."
"Ticho bolo naplnené očakávaním.
The silence was filled with anticipation.
Anna sa usmiala tenkým, ale úprimným úsmevom.
Anna smiled with a thin but sincere smile.
"Možno je čas začať znova," povedala jemne.
"Maybe it's time to start again," she said gently.
Marek si nalial ďalší pohár vína a v očiach mu zažiarili iskry.
Marek poured another glass of wine, and sparks shone in his eyes.
"Na novú cestu!
"To a new path!"
" zvolal a obaja hosť ováliť Jozefove slová s radosťou.
he exclaimed, and they both embraced Jozef's words with joy.
Večer pokračoval v tónoch smiechu, malé návraty k minulosti nahradili príbehy súčasnosti.
The evening continued in tones of laughter, small returns to the past replaced by stories of the present.
Jozef vedel, že zraniteľnosť, ktorú prejavil, dokázala uzdravovať.
Jozef knew that the vulnerability he showed had the power to heal.
On sám sa začal meniť.
He himself began to change.
Bol otvorenejší, prijal veci, ktoré ho predtým desili.
He was more open, accepting things that used to scare him.
Keď mesačný svit zalial more a vzduch naplnil sviežim chladom, rodina stávala bližšie než kedykoľvek predtým.
As the moonlight bathed the sea and the air filled with a fresh chill, the family stood closer than ever before.
Jednoduché spomienky otočili list ich života a na tvárach všetkých sa rozlial pocit pokoja.
Simple memories turned a new page in their lives, and a sense of peace spread across all their faces.
Takmer sa zdalo, že ich piesok času opäť spojil.
It almost seemed as if the sands of time had brought them together again.
