Jana stála pri okne, pozorujúc lietadlá pristávajúce na M. R. Štefánikovo medzinárodné letisko v Bratislave.

Jana stood by the window, watching planes land at the M. R. Štefánik International Airport in Bratislava.

Vonku bol jasný jarný deň a slnečné lúče sprevádzali Jana na ceste jej návratu domov.

Outside, it was a bright spring day and the sun's rays accompanied Jana on her journey back home.

Prichádzala na Veľkú noc, čas, keď sa rodiny opäť stretávajú.

She was coming for Easter, a time when families reunite.

Jej srdce bilo netrpezlivosťou, ale aj obavou.

Her heart beat with impatience but also with concern.

Roky, čo strávila v zahraničí, na ňu doliehali.

The years she spent abroad weighed on her.

V hale letiska bolo rušno.

The airport hall was bustling.

Cestujúci sa ponáhľali, kufry hrkali po mramorovej podlahe a vôňa čerstvej kávy sa miešala so vzduchom.

Travelers hurried, suitcases clattered on the marble floor, and the smell of fresh coffee mingled with the air.

Veľkonočné ozdoby viseli zo stropu – pestré kraslice a zajačiky, ktoré privádzali úsmev na tvárach detí.

Easter decorations hung from the ceiling—colorful kraslice and bunnies that brought smiles to children's faces.

Lucia, Jana mama, nervózne pohladila ucho jej prútenej kabelky.

Lucia, Jana's mother, nervously stroked the handle of her wicker handbag.

Marek, Janin mladší brat, sa oprel o stĺp a díval sa opačným smerom.

Marek, Jana's younger brother, leaned against a pillar and looked in the opposite direction.

Cítil sa zmiešane.

He felt mixed emotions.

Na jednu stranu chcel svoju sestru privítať, ale na druhú stranu ho jej odchod zranil.

On one hand, he wanted to welcome his sister, but on the other, her departure had hurt him.

Jana sa nakoniec objavila na prílete.

Finally, Jana appeared at arrivals.

Po chvíli si s mamou padli do náruče.

After a moment, she and her mother embraced.

Lucia sa rozplakala radosťou.

Lucia cried with joy.

„Ahoj, mami,“ povedala Jana a na chvíľu zabudla na mrazivé napätie medzi ňou a Marekom.

"Hello, mom," said Jana, momentarily forgetting the icy tension between her and Marek.

Marek sa pomaly priblížil.

Marek slowly approached.

„Vitaj, Jana,“ povedal so zdvihnutými obočím, zatiaľ čo jeho ruky zostali vo vreckách.

"Welcome, Jana," he said with raised eyebrows while his hands remained in his pockets.

Nebolo to pohostinné, ale ani nepriateľské.

It wasn't hospitable, but neither was it hostile.

„Ahoj, Marek,“ odpovedala Jana, snažiac sa nahliadnuť do hlbších myšlienok jej brata.

"Hello, Marek," Jana replied, trying to peer into her brother's deeper thoughts.

V tom momente si uvedomila, že čas a vzdialenosť vytvorili medzi nimi priepasť.

In that moment, she realized that time and distance had created a chasm between them.

Keď sa presunuli do kaviarne, Lucia sa pokúsila udržať atmosféru veselú.

As they moved to a café, Lucia tried to maintain a cheerful atmosphere.

„Pamätáte si, keď sme piekli veľkonočné koláče? Vtedy ste sa vždy hádali o to, kto dostane prvú kúsku.“

"Do you remember when we baked Easter cakes? You always argued about who got the first piece."

Marek sa uškrnul, ale jeho myšlienky zostávali zamračené.

Marek smirked, but his thoughts remained clouded.

„Možno by sme mali hovoriť o tom, čo sa medzi nami zmenilo,“ navrhla Jana, hľadiac na Mareka.

"Maybe we should talk about what's changed between us," Jana suggested, looking at Marek.

Nastalo napäté ticho.

A tense silence ensued.

Marek sa pozrel od stola preč, ale nakoniec pristúpil na to.

Marek looked away from the table, but eventually, he agreed.

„Cítil som, že si nás opustila. Ako keby si na nás zabudla,“ povedal ticho.

"I felt like you abandoned us. As if you forgot about us," he said quietly.

Jana prikývla.

Jana nodded.

„Mrzelo ma to každý deň. Ale musela som to urobiť kvôli sebe. Mrzí ma, že si si myslel, že mi na vás nezáleží.“

"I regretted it every day. But I had to do it for myself. I'm sorry you felt I didn't care about you."

V priestore sa rozliezlo porozumenie.

Understanding spread through the space.

Marek videl úprimnosť v očiach svojej sestry a pomaly začal chápať jej rozhodnutie.

Marek saw sincerity in his sister's eyes and slowly began to comprehend her decision.

„Možno by sme mohli začať odznova?“ navrhol.

"Maybe we could start over?" he proposed.

„Radi,“ odpovedala Jana s úsmevom.

"Gladly," replied Jana with a smile.

„Ako kedysi, pri veľkonočných koláčoch.“

"Just like old times, with Easter cakes."

Lucia viditeľne zjemnila napätie medzi svojimi deťmi a vedela, že táto Veľká noc prinesie viac než len obnovené tradície.

Lucia visibly eased the tension between her children and knew that this Easter would bring more than just renewed traditions.

Priniesla znovuzrodenie vzťahov, nový začiatok pre rodinu.

It brought a rebirth of relationships, a new beginning for the family.

A tak si na letisku v ten jarný deň všetci traja uvedomili, že čas nevrátiš, ale láska a porozumenie môžu uzdraviť aj tie najhlbšie rany.

And so, at the airport that spring day, all three realized that you can't turn back time, but love and understanding can heal even the deepest wounds.
