To be fair, "just" is diminutive in English and the answer in English is "just now". Fairly literal translation

For me the word "ahorita" has always meant "right now" not hours, minutes, right now..in a few seconds or so.

- Ahorita (just now)

Same in english, no?

Maybe "in a second" or "in a minute", which is almost never a second, or minute, respectively.

Or "shortly". Heard that one a lot. We'll be departing shortly. Which could be 2 minutes or 15 minutes, or something in between.

I don't think "just now" is used to mean the future (in a few minutes, or hours, or days).
