V nemocnici bol veľmi zaneprázdnený deň.

In the hospital, it was a very busy day.

Zamračené zimné svetlo presakovalo cez okná, kým vonku sneh pridával na výške.

The overcast winter light seeped through the windows, while outside, snow was piling up.

V tejto chladnej atmosfére ležala Jolana na posteli, čakajúc na operáciu.

In this cold atmosphere, Jolana lay on the bed, waiting for surgery.

Jej myšlienky boli ako búrka vonku - nepokojné a plné obáv.

Her thoughts were like the storm outside—restless and full of worries.

Bola druhý február, deň pred Hromnicami, a Jolana cítila úzkosť.

It was the second of February, the day before Candlemas, and Jolana felt anxious.

Operácia sa musela uskutočniť dnes, no silná snehová búrka mohla zmariť plány lekárov.

The surgery had to take place today, but a strong snowstorm might thwart the doctors' plans.

Jolana však mala na srdci ešte niečo dôležitejšie než operácia - jej brat Marek.

However, Jolana had something more important on her mind than the surgery—her brother Marek.

Jolana a Marek boli dlhé roky odcudzení.

Jolana and Marek had been estranged for many years.

Vzájomné nezhody ich rozdelili a teraz ľutovala, že nevenovala čas týmto záležitostiam skôr.

Their mutual disagreements had divided them, and now she regretted not having addressed these matters sooner.

Čas, ktorý mohol byť využitý na zmierenie, sa stratil.

Time that could have been used for reconciliation was lost.

Pred operáciou mala jedinú túžbu: zmieriť sa s Marekom.

Before the surgery, she had one wish: to make peace with Marek.

Jolana si náhle spomenula na starú priateľku Kláru.

Jolana suddenly remembered an old friend, Klára.

Klára bola človek, ktorý mal spojenie s oboma súrodencami.

Klára was someone who had a connection with both siblings.

Jolana sa rozhodla požiadať ju o pomoc.

Jolana decided to ask her for help.

Pozbierala odvahu a s trasúcimi rukami vytočila jej číslo.

Gathering courage and with trembling hands, she dialed her number.

„Ahoj, Klára,“ začala, keď zodvihla slúchadlo.

"Hello, Klára," she started when she picked up the phone.

„Potrebujem tvoju pomoc.

"I need your help.

Musím hovoriť s Marekom.

I have to talk to Marek."

“Klára bola pochopiteľná a prisľúbila, že sa pokúsi Mareka nájsť.

Klára was understanding and promised to try to find Marek.

S každou minútou, ako Jolane tĺklo srdce, sneh za oknami husto padal a čas pred operáciou ubiehal.

With each passing minute, as Jolana's heart pounded, snow fell heavily outside and the time before the surgery dwindled.

Práve keď sestry prišli, aby Jolana odviedli do operačného sálu, dvere sa otvorili.

Just as the nurses came to take Jolana to the operating room, the door opened.

Stál tam Marek.

Standing there was Marek.

S jemným úsmevom a trochu plachým pohľadom kráčal k posteli.

With a gentle smile and a slightly shy look, he walked to the bed.

„Jolana,“ povedal ticho, „prepáč.

"Jolana," he said quietly, "I'm sorry."

“Ich rozhovor bol krátky a emocionálny.

Their conversation was short and emotional.

Hovorili o minulosti, o nespravodlivostiach i smiešnych maličkostiach, ktoré ich od seba odlúčili.

They talked about the past, the injustices, and the silly little things that had separated them.

Marek podal Jolane ruku a ona pocítila pokoj, ktorý tak dlho chýbal.

Marek held out his hand to Jolana, and she felt the peace that had been missing for so long.

Operácia prebehla hladko a keď Jolana otvorila po tom oči, slnečné lúče presvitali cez oblaky.

The surgery went smoothly, and when Jolana opened her eyes afterward, the sun's rays were shining through the clouds.

Vedľa jej postele sedel Marek s teplým úsmevom.

Next to her bed sat Marek with a warm smile.

Celú noc tam prečkal a svoju sestru neopustil ani na chvíľku.

He had stayed there all night and hadn't left his sister for even a moment.

Jolana pocítila vnútorný pokoj.

Jolana felt an inner peace.

Zmierenie s Marekom jej prinieslo jasnosť.

The reconciliation with Marek brought her clarity.

Hromnice, ktoré symbolizovali očistu a nový začiatok, jej priniesli niečo dôležité - uvedomenie si, že mierenie vzťahov je kľúčom k pokoju.

Candlemas, which symbolized cleansing and a new beginning, had brought her something important—the realization that mending relationships is the key to peace.

Jolana sa usmiala.

Jolana smiled.

Zima vonku konečne ustupovala podobne ako napätie medzi súrodencami.

The winter outside was finally receding, just like the tension between the siblings.

Pred Jolankou sa otvoril nový deň, rovnako čistý a jasný ako sneh po búrke.

A new day opened up before Jolana, as pure and bright as the snow after the storm.
