Jakub stál pred Bratislavským hradom a pozoroval jeho majestátne veže.

Jakub stood in front of Bratislavský hrad ( Bratislava Castle ) and observed its majestic towers.

Okolo neho padali farebné listy a jemný vietor ho privítal po dlhých rokoch.

Around him, colorful leaves were falling, and a gentle breeze welcomed him after many years.

V jeho srdci prebývala nervozita.

In his heart, there was nervousness.

Dnešný deň mal byť špeciálny – po rokoch mal znovu vidieť svojich súrodencov.

Today was meant to be special – after years, he was going to see his siblings again.

Anna, jeho sestra, známa svojou organizovanosťou, už čakala pri hlavnej bráne.

Anna, his sister, known for her organization, was already waiting at the main gate.

Na tvári mala úsmev, ale jej oči odrážali zvyšok určitého napätia.

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes reflected a certain tension.

Marek bol, ako vždy, uvoľnený a s úsmevom vítal Jakuba objetím.

Marek was, as always, relaxed and welcomed Jakub with a hug.

"Radšej neskoro ako nikdy," uškrnul sa, pokúšajúc sa zmierniť atmosféru.

"Better late than never," he grinned, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Jakub si uvedomoval, že medzi ním a Annou je neviditeľná stena.

Jakub realized that there was an invisible wall between him and Anna.

Čas strávený v zahraničí si vybral svoju daň.

The time spent abroad had taken its toll.

Často jej neodpovedal na správy a zanedbával rodinné stretnutia.

He often didn’t reply to her messages and neglected family gatherings.

Teraz, keď stál vedľa nej, cítil jej zášť.

Now, standing next to her, he could feel her resentment.

Marek, snažiac sa o uvoľnenie napätia, navrhol prechádzku po hradných záhradách.

Marek, trying to relieve the tension, suggested a walk through the castle gardens.

Cesta sa vinula okolo kvetinových záhonov, krásy jesenných listov ich obklopovali.

The path wound around flower beds, surrounded by the beauty of autumn leaves.

V jednom momente zastavili na vyhliadke, kde mali pohľad na celé mesto.

At one point, they stopped at a viewpoint where they had a view of the whole city.

Zlatisté slnečné lúče osvetlili Bratislavu ako na obraze.

Golden sun rays illuminated Bratislava like in a painting.

"Mali by sme si pohovoriť," povedal Jakub, keď cítil, že už ďalej nemôže skrývať svoje pocity.

"We should talk," said Jakub, when he felt he could no longer hide his feelings.

Pozrel sa na Annu.

He looked at Anna.

"Mrzí ma to, že som bol tak dlho preč.

"I'm sorry that I was away for so long.

Nevedel som, ako to všetko zvládnuť.

I didn’t know how to handle it all."

"Anna, trochu zmäkčená krásnym prostredím, pomaly začala odpovedať.

Anna, somewhat softened by the beautiful surroundings, slowly began to respond.

"A ja som mala pocit, že si na nás zabudol," povedala s náznakom smútku v hlase.

"And I felt like you forgot about us," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Ale chápem.

"But I understand.

Každý má svoje dôvody.

Everyone has their reasons."

"Marek ich oboch pozoroval a s úsmevom dodal: "Sme rodina.

Marek watched them both and added with a smile, "We are family.

A to znamená, že sa čas od času musíme milovať aj cez ten hnev.

And that means sometimes we have to love each other through the anger."

"Na vyhliadke zostali dlho, rozprávajúc sa o živote, minulosti a budúcnosti.

They remained at the viewpoint for a long time, talking about life, the past, and the future.

Jakub cítil, že odtieň jeho samoty pomaly mizne.

Jakub felt the shade of his loneliness slowly disappearing.

Znovu cítiť súdržnosť s rodinou bol pocit, ktorý postrádal.

Feeling unity with family again was a feeling he had missed.

Na konci dňa sa dohodli, že ich stretnutia nebudú už také vzácne.

By the end of the day, they agreed that their meetings would no longer be so rare.

Jakub sa vráti na Vianoce a začnú si viac volať.

Jakub would return for Christmas and they would start calling each other more.

Keď sa rozlúčili pri západe slnka, Jakub odchádzal s pocitom pokojného srdca.

When they said goodbye at sunset, Jakub left with a feeling of a peaceful heart.

Vedel, že ho čaká ešte dlhá cesta k zahojeniu starých rán, ale prvý krok bol úspešne za ním.

He knew there was still a long road ahead to heal old wounds, but the first step was successfully behind him.

Rodina bola stále tou najdôležitejšou súčasťou jeho srdca a on chcel tento vzťah posilniť.

Family was still the most important part of his heart, and he wanted to strengthen this relationship.

Anna s Marekom mu boli blízki a on bol pripravený začať odznova.

Anna and Marek were close to him, and he was ready to start anew.
