Milan vošiel do policajnej stanice na Obchodnej ulici v Bratislave.
Milan entered the police station on Obchodná Street in Bratislava.
Dvere boli ťažké, ale vo vnútri bola príjemná atmosféra, aj keď trochu chaotická.
The door was heavy, but inside there was a pleasant atmosphere, even though a bit chaotic.
Ľudia čakali v rade na svoje záležitosti.
People were waiting in line for their matters.
Vo vzduchu bolo cítiť vôňu kávy z kávovaru v rohu miestnosti.
The smell of coffee from the coffee machine in the corner of the room was in the air.
Za pultom sedela mladá policajtka.
A young policewoman was sitting behind the counter.
Jej meno bolo Katarína.
Her name was Katarína.
Milan sa cítil nervózny.
Milan felt nervous.
V ruke pevne držal mobilný telefón a cítil, ako mu srdce bije.
He held his mobile phone tightly in his hand and could feel his heart beating.
Pristúpil bližšie.
He stepped closer.
"Dobrý deň," povedal nesmelo.
"Good day," he said timidly.
"Dobrý deň," odpovedala Katarína s úsmevom.
"Good day," Katarína replied with a smile.
"Ako vám môžem pomôcť?
"How can I help you?"
"Milan si povzdychol.
Milan sighed.
"Chcel by som nahlásiť krádež.
"I would like to report a theft.
Ukradli mi peňaženku.
My wallet was stolen.
Nie kvôli peniazom, ale kvôli fotke staršej mamy," povedal, cítiac prúd emócií.
Not because of the money, but because of the photo of my elder mother," he said, feeling a surge of emotions.
Katarína si začala robiť poznámky.
Katarína began taking notes.
"Áno, je to dôležité.
"Yes, it's important.
Fotky majú pre nás všetkých hodnotu," povedala chápavo.
Photos have value for all of us," she said understandingly.
"Kde ste boli, keď vám ju ukradli?
"Where were you when it was stolen?"
""V električke číslo 5, šiel som po Obchodnej," vysvetlil Milan.
"In tram number 5, I was going down Obchodná," Milan explained.
"Bolo tam veľa ľudí, možno sa mi podarilo odtiahnuť ich pozornosť.
"There were a lot of people, maybe I managed to draw their attention away."
"Katarína chápavo prikývla.
Katarína nodded understandingly.
"To sa stáva často, najmä keď je mesto plné ľudí.
"That happens often, especially when the city is full of people.
Ale nebojte sa, urobíme, čo bude v našich silách, aby sme ju našli.
But don't worry, we will do our best to find it."
"Vtedy sa pridal ďalší policajt, Ján.
At that moment, another policeman, Ján, joined in.
Bol to vysoký muž so skúseným výrazom v očiach.
He was a tall man with an experienced look in his eyes.
"Katarína má pravdu.
"Katarína is right.
Môže to chvíľu trvať, ale ak ju niekto nájde, dáme vám hneď vedieť.
It might take a while, but if someone finds it, we will let you know immediately."
"Milan pocítil úľavu.
Milan felt relief.
"Ďakujem," povedal úprimne.
"Thank you," he said sincerely.
"Tá peňaženka má pre mňa veľký význam.
"That wallet means a lot to me."
"Keď opúšťal stanicu, cez veľké okná mohol vidieť, ako sa zlaté listy pohrávajú na vetre.
As he left the station, through the large windows he could see the golden leaves playing in the wind.
Bol november, na obzore bol Sviatok všetkých svätých.
It was November, with All Saints' Day on the horizon.
V tento deň nám pripomína, aké dôležité sú spomienky a vzťahy.
This day reminds us of how important memories and relationships are.
Hoci peňaženku ešte nenašli, Milan mal pocit, že nie je sám.
Although the wallet hadn't been found yet, Milan felt that he wasn't alone.
Policajti, ktorí mu pomohli, mu dali nádej.
The police officers who helped him gave him hope.
S pocitom nového odhodlania a istoty kráčal ulicami Bratislavy.
With a sense of new determination and confidence, he walked the streets of Bratislava.
Dôležité sú osobné spojenia a pochopenie iných.
Personal connections and understanding of others are important.
Tieto hodnoty sú silnejšie než akýkoľvek strach z neúspechu v práci.
These values are stronger than any fear of failure at work.
Milan sa usmial, prvýkrát po dlhom čase sa cítil, že by mohol zvládnuť čokoľvek.
Milan smiled, for the first time in a long time he felt that he could handle anything.
