Jeseň priniesla so sebou chlad a pokoj do ulíc univerzitného kampusu.
Autumn brought with it the chill and peace to the streets of the university campus.
Stromy boli oblečené do zlatých a červených listov.
The trees were dressed in golden and red leaves.
Vzduch voňal po opadaných listoch a dymových vôňach z diaľky.
The air smelled of fallen leaves and smoky scents from afar.
V tento tichý čas roka sa ľudia pripravovali na Sviatok všetkých svätých, zapálili sviečky a spomínali na svojich blízkych.
In this quiet time of the year, people were preparing for Sviatok všetkých svätých, lighting candles and remembering their loved ones.
V meste sa objavili malé stánky so sviečkami a kyticami chryzantém.
Small stalls with candles and bouquets of chrysanthemums appeared in the town.
Jana bola študentkou na miestnej univerzite, ale jej domov bol ďaleko.
Jana was a student at the local university, but her home was far away.
Študovala v cudzine, v meste plnom nových tvárí a zvykov.
She was studying abroad in a city full of new faces and customs.
Hoci mala rada svoj odbor, niečo jej chýbalo.
Although she liked her field of study, something was missing.
Chýbal jej Matej, jej priateľ, ktorý ostal doma.
She missed Matej, her boyfriend, who stayed back home.
Aj keď sa snažila byť usilovná, osamelosť jej stále klopala na dvere.
Even though she tried to be diligent, loneliness kept knocking on her door.
Eva bola jej spolužiačka.
Eva was her classmate.
Mali spolu pracovať na školskom projekte.
They were supposed to work together on a school project.
Jana mala strach, pretože Eva sa nezdala byť veľmi spoľahlivá.
Jana was worried because Eva didn’t seem to be very reliable.
Veľakrát vynechala stretnutia a neodpovedala na správy.
She often missed meetings and didn't respond to messages.
Jana cítila bezmocnosť a tlak.
Jana felt helpless and pressured.
„Musím to dokončiť,“ vravela si ticho pri okne, keď pozorovala, ako vietor odnáša opadané lístie preč.
“I must finish it,” she said quietly to herself by the window, watching as the wind carried the fallen leaves away.
To popoludnie sa rozhodla konať.
That afternoon, she decided to act.
Zapla si počítač a začala pracovať na projekte sama.
She turned on her computer and started working on the project alone.
Ale vedela, že bez Evy to nebude možné zvládnuť úplne.
But she knew it wouldn’t be possible to complete it fully without Eva.
Potrebovala pomoc.
She needed help.
Po niekoľkých dňoch zúfalého čakania sa Jana odhodlala.
After several days of desperate waiting, Jana resolved to act.
Napísala Eve správu a požiadala ju o jasnú odpoveď.
She wrote a message to Eva asking for a clear response.
Trvalo niekoľko hodín, kým sa na obrazovke objavila odpoveď.
It took several hours before a reply appeared on the screen.
Eva súhlasila so stretnutím cez videohovor.
Eva agreed to meet via video call.
„Prepáč, Jana,“ povedala Eva s vážnym tónom, „zanedbala som svoje povinnosti.
“Sorry, Jana,” said Eva with a serious tone, “I neglected my responsibilities.
Pomôžem ti, s čímkoľvek budeš potrebovať.“
I’ll help you with whatever you need.”
Rovnaký večer, práve keď sa Jana teda zmierovala s touto novou spoluprácou, zazvonila jej telefón.
That same evening, just as Jana came to terms with this new collaboration, her phone rang.
Bola to videohovor od Mateja.
It was a video call from Matej.
„Ahoj láska,“ usmial sa Matej, keď jeho tvár ožiarila obrazovka.
“Hi, love,” Matej smiled as his face lit up the screen.
Jana cítila, ako jej srdce poskočilo.
Jana felt her heart skip a beat.
Rozprávali sa dlho o všetkom a ničom, smiali sa, spomínali na minulosť a plánovali budúcnosť.
They talked for a long time about everything and nothing, laughed, reminisced about the past, and planned for the future.
Spolupráca s Evou sa zlepšila.
Collaboration with Eva improved.
Eva začala prispievať a pridávať nápady.
Eva started contributing and adding ideas.
Projekt sa im podarilo dokončiť načas a bol úspešne prijatý.
They managed to finish the project on time, and it was successfully accepted.
Jana pocítila úľavu.
Jana felt relief.
Nielenže úspešne dokončila projekt, ale naučila sa aj viac o sile komunikácie a dôverovania ľuďom.
Not only did she successfully complete the project, but she also learned more about the power of communication and trusting people.
Sviatok všetkých svätých prišiel vo svojej tichej krásnosti.
Sviatok všetkých svätých arrived in its quiet beauty.
Jana kráčala mestom, zapálila sviečku a pomyslela na domov.
Jana walked through the town, lit a candle, and thought of home.
Hoci bola ďaleko, cítila sa blízko svojich milovaných.
Although she was far away, she felt close to her loved ones.
Osamelosť, ktorá ju prenasledovala, sa rozplynula.
The loneliness that haunted her dissolved.
Jana sa naučila, že aj na diaľku si môže udržať silné vzťahy a že občas musí len veriť.
Jana learned that even from a distance, she could maintain strong relationships and that sometimes you just have to believe.
