Vianočný trh v Bratislave žiaril farbami a svetlom, zvuk vianočných koled, vôňa vareného vína a pečených gaštanov plnila vzduch.

The Vianočný trh in Bratislava glowed with colors and light, the sound of Christmas carols, and the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts filled the air.

Katarína kráčala rušným námestím zahalená v teplej šále a klobúku.

Katarína walked through the bustling square wrapped in a warm scarf and hat.

Bola nadšená.

She was excited.

Je to jej prvé Vianoce s Lukášom a chcela mu pripraviť niečo špeciálne.

It was her first Christmas with Lukáš, and she wanted to prepare something special for him.

V ruke držala tašku s darčekom.

In her hand, she held a bag with a gift.

Bola to snehová guľa, ktorú sama vyrobila.

It was a snow globe she had made herself.

V duchu si predstavovala, ako ju Lukáš otvorí a usmeje sa.

In her mind, she imagined Lukáš opening it and smiling.

Práve vtedy si všimla, že na vedľajšom stánku vošla Adela – priateľka z práce, večne zaneprázdnená a trochu roztržitá.

Just then, she noticed that Adela—a friend from work, eternally busy and a bit scatterbrained—had walked into a nearby stall.

Katarína sa posadila na lavičku pri stánkoch a začala si s Adelou povídat.

Katarína sat down on a bench by the stalls and started chatting with Adela.

Smiali sa a hovorili o vianočných plánoch.

They laughed and talked about their Christmas plans.

Keď Katarína vstala, omylom zobrala Adelinu tašku – takú istú, ako jej.

When Katarína got up, she mistakenly took Adela's bag—they were identical to her own.

Keď sa nakoniec chystala stretnúť s Lukášom, otvorila tašku, aby ešte raz skontrolovala darček.

As she was finally preparing to meet Lukáš, she opened the bag to check the gift one more time.

S hrôzou zistila, že tam namiesto snežnej gule boli dokumenty a papiere.

To her horror, she found documents and papers instead of the snow globe.

„Och, nie!

"Oh, no!"

“ zalapala po dychu.

she gasped.

Čo teraz?

What now?

Rýchlym krokom sa vrátila k stánkom.

With quick steps, she returned to the stalls.

Panika a otázky v jej mysli: Ako k tomu mohlo dôjsť?

Panic and questions filled her mind: How could this have happened?

Čo ak Lukáš nebude chápať?

What if Lukáš doesn’t understand?

Ale jediné, na čo mohla myslieť, bolo nájsť Adelu.

But the only thing she could think of was finding Adela.

Premýšľala, kde ju teraz môže nájsť.

She wondered where she could be now.

Katarína uvidela Adelu stojacu pri stánku s perníkom.

Katarína saw Adela standing by a gingerbread stall.

Uľavene si vydýchla a prekráčala cez dav.

She sighed with relief and walked through the crowd.

„Adela!

"Adela!"

“ zavolala.

she called out.

Adela sa otočila prekvapením, ale rýchlo pochopila situáciu, keď videla v rukách zlé tašky.

Adela turned in surprise but quickly understood the situation when she saw the wrong bags in their hands.

Obaja sa tomu zasmiali a tašky si vymenili.

They both laughed about it and exchanged the bags.

Srdce Kataríny bilo rýchlo, keď sa blížila k Lukášovi s pravou taškou v rukách.

Katarína's heart was racing as she approached Lukáš with the right bag in her hand.

Stretli sa pod veľkým osvetleným stromčekom, okolo ktorého sa pohyboval dav ľudí.

They met under the big illuminated Christmas tree, around which a crowd of people moved.

Katarína mu konečne dala darček a so smiechom priznala, čo sa stalo.

Katarína finally gave him the gift and, with a laugh, confessed what had happened.

Lukáš si vzal snehovú guľu a s láskyplným úsmevom ju otvoril.

Lukáš took the snow globe and opened it with a loving smile.

„To je skvelý darček,“ povedal a pritiahlo ju k sebe.

"It's a great gift," he said, pulling her close.

Vzájomne si rozprávali, aké zábavné a šialené to bolo, a držali sa za ruky pod žiarou vianočných svetiel.

They talked about how funny and crazy it had been and held hands under the glow of the Christmas lights.

V ten večer Katarína pochopila, že dokonalosť nie je vždy nevyhnutná.

That evening, Katarína realized that perfection isn't always necessary.

Dôležitejšie je, s kým to všetko zažívame.

What's more important is who we experience it all with.

Podívala sa na Lukáša a vedela, že sú pripravení čeliť čomukoľvek spolu.

She looked at Lukáš and knew they were ready to face anything together.
