Jeseň v Bratislave priniesla chladné dni a zvonce v uliciach oznamovali blížiace sa Vianoce.

Autumn in Bratislava brought cold days, and bells in the streets announced the approaching Christmas.

V otvorenom kancelárskom priestore, ozdobenom ligotavými svetlami a ornamentmi, Marek počítal dni do menšej operácie.

In the open office space, decorated with shimmering lights and ornaments, Marek was counting the days until a small surgery.

Pracoval ako projektový manažér a blížil sa koniec roka, čo znamenalo stres a kopu práce.

He worked as a project manager, and the end of the year was approaching, which meant stress and a pile of work.

Z okna videl prechádzajúcich ľudí, teplé bundy a davy, ktoré zháňali darčeky.

From the window, he saw people passing by, warm jackets, and crowds hustling for gifts.

Marek cítil bremeno povinností.

Marek felt the burden of responsibilities.

Musel sa uistiť, že všetky projekty budú dokončené načas.

He had to ensure that all projects would be completed on time.

Lukáš, jeho šéf, chcel splniť cieľ spoločnosti a termíny viseli Marekovi nad hlavou ako temný oblak.

Lukáš, his boss, wanted to meet the company's goals, and the deadlines loomed over Marek like a dark cloud.

Hoci zodpovedne plnil úlohy, Marek vedel, že čoskoro bude potrebovať pomoc.

Although he was responsibly completing his tasks, Marek knew he would soon need help.

Žaneta, jeho kolegyňa, bola vždy plná energie a dobrej nálady.

Žaneta, his colleague, was always full of energy and good spirits.

Mala špeciálny dar vycítiť, keď niekto potreboval podporu.

She had a special gift for sensing when someone needed support.

Raz počas obeda Marek nabral odvahu.

Once during lunch, Marek gathered the courage.

"Žaneta, potrebujem tvoju pomoc," začal opatrne.

"Žaneta, I need your help," he began cautiously.

Prezradil jej o svojej operácii a požiadal ju, či by mohla prevziať niektoré jeho úlohy.

He revealed to her about his surgery and asked if she could take over some of his tasks.

„Samozrejme, Marek,“ povedala bez váhania.

"Of course, Marek," she said without hesitation.

„Postarám sa o to, nemusíš sa báť.

"I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry."

“ Jej slová boli ako balzam na Marekove starosti.

Her words were like a balm for Marek's worries.

Prišla dôležitá porada o termínoch.

A crucial meeting about deadlines arrived.

Marek cítil, ako mu stúpa stres, až sa začal cítiť zle.

Marek felt his stress rising until he started feeling unwell.

Vedel, že viac už skrývať nemôže.

He knew he could no longer hide it.

Po porade sa rozhodol za Lukášom.

After the meeting, he decided to talk to Lukáš.

„Potrebujem s tebou hovoriť,“ povedal odhodlane.

"I need to talk to you," he said determinedly.

Vyrozprával mu svoj príbeh a očakával kritiku alebo nepochopenie.

He told him his story and expected criticism or misunderstanding.

Lukáš však reagoval inak.

However, Lukáš reacted differently.

„Marek, zdravie je najdôležitejšie,“ povedal s účasťou.

"Marek, health is the most important thing," he said with compassion.

„Žaneta a ja to zvládneme, kým sa uzdravíš.

"Žaneta and I will manage until you recover."

“Za pár dní bola práca preorganizovaná a Marek mohol pokojnejšie spávať.

In a few days, the work was reorganized, and Marek could sleep more peacefully.

Uvedomil si, že dôvera v kolegov prináša úľavu a nielen sám, ale aj tím môže fungovať efektívnejšie.

He realized that trusting colleagues brings relief, and not only he but also the team can function more effectively.

Blížiace sa Vianoce teraz prinášali nádej, pokoj a novú perspektívu.

The approaching Christmas now brought hope, peace, and a new perspective.

Bratislavské ulice boli chladné, ale srdce Mareka sa naplnilo vďačnosťou a dôverou, ktorú dokázal zdieľať so svojím tímom.

The streets of Bratislava were cold, but Marek's heart was filled with gratitude and trust that he was able to share with his team.
