En: On the meadow under the castle walls lies a cozy blanket, upon which Marek, Zuzana, and Juraj have settled. Sk: Ich detské spomienky sa vracajú, keď sa smejú a rozprávajú. En: Their childhood memories come back as they laugh and talk. Sk: Je Veľká noc, a tak niesli aj tradičné veľkonočné koláče a farebné vajíčka. En: It is Easter, and so they have brought traditional Easter cakes and colorful eggs. Sk: Marek, s úsmevom na tvári, otvoril košík plný dobrôt. En: Marek, with a smile on his face, opened a basket full of treats. Sk: „Pamätáte si na túru na Devín? En: "Do you remember the hike to Devín?" Sk: “ opýtal sa Marek a zasmial sa. En: Marek asked, laughing. Sk: „Juraj, ako si sa bál toho starého mosta! En: "Juraj, how you were afraid of that old bridge!" Sk: “Juraj sa tiež zasmial. En: Juraj laughed too. Sk: „A Zuzana musela byť naša navigátorka, inak by sme sa asi stratili! En: "And Zuzana had to be our navigator, otherwise we probably would have gotten lost!" Sk: “Zuzana sa usmiala. En: Zuzana smiled. Sk: Bola to jedna z tých chvíľ, kedy všetko vyzeralo byť jednoduché a správne. En: It was one of those moments when everything seemed simple and right. Sk: Ale v duchu, každý z nich mal niečo, čoho sa chceli podeliť. En: But in their minds, each of them had something they wanted to share. Sk: Marek znova zameral pohľad na svoje priatelia a cítil, ako mu búši srdce. En: Marek focused his gaze once more on his friends, and he felt his heart pounding. Sk: Dnes chcel vyjsť s pravdou von, no nevedel, ako začať. En: Today, he wanted to come clean, but he didn't know how to start. Sk: „Viete,“ začal opatrne Marek, „dostala sa ku mne jedna pracovná príležitosť. En: "You know," Marek began cautiously, "I received a job opportunity. Sk: Ale musel by som sa presťahovať do zahraničia. En: But I would have to move abroad." Sk: “Zuzana a Juraj na neho prekvapene pozreli. En: Zuzana and Juraj looked at him in surprise. Sk: Ticho zavládlo ako mrak nad hradom. En: Silence loomed like a cloud over the castle. Sk: „Chceš odísť preč? En: "You want to leave?" Sk: “ spýtal sa Juraj, snažiac sa skryť svoj znepokojený výraz. En: Juraj asked, trying to hide his concerned expression. Sk: „Áno,“ priznal Marek, „ale nechcem stratiť naše priateľstvo. En: "Yes," admitted Marek, "but I don't want to lose our friendship. Sk: Ste pre mňa ako rodina. En: You are like family to me." Sk: “Zuzana si povzdychla a pohlavila ho na rameno. En: Zuzana sighed and patted him on the shoulder. Sk: „Pochopíme ťa, Marek. En: "We understand you, Marek. Sk: Nechceme, aby si zostal kvôli nám nešťastný. En: We don't want you to stay unhappy because of us. Sk: Aj tak budeme v kontakte. En: We'll still keep in touch." Sk: “Juraj sa tiež usmial. En: Juraj also smiled. Sk: „Samozrejme, Marek. En: "Of course, Marek. Sk: Aj keď si ďaleko, vždy budeš náš najlepší kamoš. En: Even if you're far away, you'll always be our best buddy. Sk: Možno u teba budeme môcť tráviť dovolenku! En: Maybe we can spend our vacation at your place!" Sk: “Marek pocítil úľavu. En: Marek felt relief. Sk: Vedel, že má svojich priateľov na svojej strane. En: He knew he had his friends on his side.

Sk: “ spýtal sa Marek a pozrel sa na Zuzanu a Juraja. En: Marek asked, looking at Zuzana and Juraj. Sk: Zuzana sa odhodlala podeliť sa so svojimi myšlienkami. En: Zuzana felt ready to share her thoughts. Sk: „Rozmýšľam o zmene práce. En: "I'm thinking about changing jobs. Sk: Už dlhšie ma to nenapĺňa. En: I haven't felt fulfilled for a while.
