Marek kráčal po piesku, ktorý sa trblietal v mesačnom svetle.

Marek walked on the sand, which glittered in the moonlight.

Bolo už neskoro večer, ale on nečakal pokoj.

It was already late at night, but he wasn't expecting peace.

Chcel hovoriť s Luciou.

He wanted to talk to Lucia.

Mali medzi sebou nevyriešený spor.

They had an unresolved dispute.

Marek vedel, že urobil chybu, a teraz chcel nájsť cestu k odpusteniu.

Marek knew he had made a mistake, and now he wanted to find a way to forgiveness.

Vedel, že Lucia bude tvrdá, ale musel to skúsiť.

He knew that Lucia would be tough, but he had to try.

Slnko už dávno zapadlo a jar prichádzala s jemným teplom.

The sun had long set, and spring was arriving with a gentle warmth.

Včera oslavovali Deň práce, ale teraz na neho čakala oveľa dôležitejšia úloha.

Yesterday, they celebrated Deň práce (Labor Day), but now a much more important task awaited him.

Nádherné jarné kvety ich obklopovali, všade okolo nich bola oslnivá vôňa mora.

Beautiful spring flowers surrounded them, and the dazzling scent of the sea was everywhere around them.

Vlny pokojne šumeli a obmývali ich bose nohy.

The waves gently whispered and washed over their bare feet.

Lucia už čakala pri brehu.

Lucia was already waiting by the shore.

Tvár mala zamračenú, ale oči prevažne kľudné.

Her face was frowning, but her eyes were mostly calm.

"Ahoj, Marek," povedala krátko.

"Hi, Marek," she said shortly.

Nebola zlá, len bola sklamaná.

She wasn't angry, just disappointed.

Čakala s otázkami, ktoré chcel Marek vyriešiť.

She waited with questions that Marek wanted to resolve.

"Ahoj, Lucia.

"Hi, Lucia.

Ďakujem, že si prišla," odpovedal Marek a snažil sa o úsmev.

Thank you for coming," replied Marek, trying to smile.

"Veľa som premýšľal o tom, čo sa stalo.

"I've thought a lot about what happened."

"Lucia pokrčila ramenami.

Lucia shrugged.

"Odpusť mi, ale bolo to nesprávne.

"Forgive me, but it was wrong.

Nemal si rozhodovať za nás oboch.

You shouldn't have decided for both of us."

"Marek vzdychol.

Marek sighed.

"Viem, a je mi to ľúto.

"I know, and I'm sorry.

Nechcel som ťa zraniť.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Rozhodol som sa bez teba, aj keď som vedel, že sme v tom spolu.

I decided without you, even though I knew we were in it together.

A to bola chyba.

And that was a mistake."

"Lucia na Mareka upierala oči.

Lucia looked directly at Marek.

"Prečo si to vlastne urobil?

"Why did you even do it?"

"Marek sa pozrel na more.

Marek looked at the sea.

Spočíval na slove, ktoré sa snažil vysloviť.

He lingered on a word he tried to say.

"Mal som strach, Lucia.

"I was scared, Lucia.

Myslel som, že by som to mohol zvládnuť sám, ale mýlil som sa.

I thought I could handle it alone, but I was wrong."

"Po týchto slovách sa zdalo, akoby more prestalo šumieť.

After these words, it seemed as if the sea stopped whispering.

Lucia bola ticho, jej hnev sa pomaly rozplýval.

Lucia was silent; her anger slowly dissolved.

Videla Marekovu úprimnosť.

She saw Marek's sincerity.

"Je dobré, že si si uvedomil túto chybu," povedala jemne.

"It's good that you've realized this mistake," she said gently.

"Vieš, že si cenný priateľ, Marek.

"You know you're a valuable friend, Marek.

Ale musíme byť k sebe úprimní.

But we have to be honest with each other."

"Marek kývol hlavou.

Marek nodded.

"Súhlasím.

"I agree.

Odteraz budem vždy s tebou o všetkom hovoriť.

From now on, I will always talk to you about everything."

"Lucia sa pousmiala.

Lucia smiled faintly.

Bol to malý náznak mieru.

It was a small sign of peace.

"Vidíš, niekedy stačí len počúvať," povedala pokojne.

"You see, sometimes it's enough just to listen," she said calmly.

Zarosenou plážou pokračovali spolu, v mysli si pamätali ich rozhovor.

They continued together along the dewy beach, remembering their conversation in their minds.

Zdalo sa, že more ich prijalo do svojho nekonečného objatia, a zvuky vĺn nám prezrádzali, že všetko bude v poriadku.

It seemed that the sea had embraced them in its endless embrace, and the sounds of the waves told us that everything would be alright.

Marek a Lucia si od toho večera lepšie rozumeli.

From that evening on, Marek and Lucia understood each other better.

Naučili sa, že úprimnosť a komunikácia sú kľúčom k silnému priateľstvu.

They learned that honesty and communication are the keys to a strong friendship.

Vďaka tejto skúsenosti boli obaja silnejší a múdrejší.

Thanks to this experience, both were stronger and wiser.

V mesačnom svetle našli cestu k mieru a priateľstvo, ktoré pretrvá.

In the moonlight, they found a path to peace and a friendship that would endure.
