Lumesadu kattis Tallinna tänavad paksu, valge vaibaga, muutes kõik vaikseks ja rahulikuks.

The snowfall covered the streets of Tallinn with a thick, white blanket, making everything quiet and peaceful.

Kellegi mõtted ei jäänud varjule, kui teepoes hakkas Mihkel aknaid vaatama, lumi avas tema ees täiesti uue maailma.

No one's thoughts went unnoticed when Mihkel started looking out the windows in the tea shop, the snow opened up a completely new world before him.

Ta oli teesmiskunepisar, millel oli oma vaikne ja hubane nurgake linnasüdames.

He was a barista with his own quiet and cozy corner in the city's heart.

Mihkel armastas oma tööd baristana.

Mihkel loved his job as a barista.

Ta võis jälgida inimesi, vaadata, kuidas nad naudivad teed ja omavahel suhtlevad.

He could observe people, see how they enjoyed tea and interacted with each other.

Eriti üks naine, Kaisa, kes käis sageli seal.

Especially one woman, Kaisa, who often visited.

Mihkel leidis, et tema naeratus tegi kõik soojemaks, isegi kõige külmema talvepäeva.

Mihkel found that her smile made everything warmer, even the coldest winter day.

Täna aga tõotas tulla eriline päev.

Today, however, promised to be a special day.

Hommikune rahvas hakkas vaikselt sisse voolama just siis, kui ootamatult algas tugev lumesadu.

The morning crowd began to slowly flow in right as a heavy snowfall started unexpectedly.

Linn kadus lume varju, ja möödujad jõudsid varjule Mihkli teepoodi, seltsiks auravad tassid ja pehme vestlustoon.

The city disappeared under the snow's cover, and passersby sought refuge in Mihkel's tea shop, accompanied by steaming cups and soft tones of conversation.

„Lume tõttu on kõik teed kinni,” ütles Toomas, kes istus akna juures ja vaatas murelikult välja.

"All the roads are closed because of the snow," said Toomas, who sat by the window, looking out worriedly.

Taga tarkuse täis prillide peenraha tõi kerge ilme tema näole.

The small change by his wisdom-filled glasses brought a light expression to his face.

Mihkel mõistis, et peaks midagi tegema.

Mihkel realized he needed to do something.

Ta ei suutnud lihtsalt vaadata, kuidas inimesed muretsevad.

He couldn't just watch people worry.

Ta tõi kohe välja mängud ja etteteatmised mitmetele teedele, et hoida meeleolu üleval.

He quickly brought out games and announced different teas to keep the mood up.

Ja siis, kui kõik olid ühinend Katie küttekeha ümber, võttis Mihkel end kokku.

And then, when everyone gathered around Katie's heater, Mihkel took courage.

Kaisa istus koos teistega ja luges raamatut.

Kaisa was sitting with others, reading a book.

Tema käitumises oli rahu, mida Mihkel armastas.

There was a peace in her demeanor that Mihkel loved.

Ta neelas alla oma häbelikkuse ja istus Kaisale lähemale.

He swallowed his shyness and sat closer to Kaisa.

„Kas lumi ikka meeldib sulle?

"Do you still like the snow?"

” küsis Mihkel, natuke väriseva häälega.

asked Mihkel, his voice a bit shaky.

Kaisa naeris.

Kaisa laughed.

„Muidugi meeldib.

"Of course, I like it.

Lumel on oma võlu.

Snow has its charm."

” Ja siis, nähes Mihkli muret, lisas: „Kuid täna on hea päev, sest sa hoolid meie mugavuse eest ning see on tohutult armas.

And then, seeing Mihkel's concern, she added: "But today is a good day because you care for our comfort, and that's incredibly sweet."

”Mihkel tundis, kuidas tema sees midagi põlema hakkas.

Mihkel felt something ignite inside him.

Nad rääkisid pikalt ja laialt, kõigest, alates lemmikteedest kuni lapsepõlve seiklusteni.

They talked at length, about everything, from favorite teas to childhood adventures.

Lumi vähenes, kuid nende vestlus kasvas sügavamaks.

The snow lessened, but their conversation grew deeper.

Lumesadu vaibus peagi.

The snowfall soon subsided.

Inimesed hakkasid aeglaselt teepoest väljuma, kuid Mihklil oli veel üks asi teha.

People began slowly leaving the tea shop, but Mihkel still had one more thing to do.

Ta kogus julgust, et küsida: „Võibolla sooviksid sa kunagi uuesti siia tulla?

He gathered the courage to ask, "Maybe you’d like to come here again sometime?

Teed koos?

For tea together?"

”Kaisa naeratus oli soojem kui tee enda soojus.

Kaisa's smile was warmer than the warmth of the tea itself.

„Muidugi, Mihkel.

"Of course, Mihkel.

Ja ehk välja jõulu ajal ka.

And perhaps during Christmas, too."

”Mihkel andis Kaisale oma telefoninumbri.

Mihkel gave Kaisa his phone number.

Lumi sulas, tee seisis taas avatud.

The snow melted, the road stood open once more.

Aga Mihkel teadis, et nüüd oli ta avanud oma südame, nagu kunagi varem mitte, ning Kaisa oli valmis sinna sisse piiluma.

But Mihkel knew that now he had opened his heart as never before, and Kaisa was ready to peek inside.

See oli vaid algus, aga Mihkel nautis iga hetke.

This was only the beginning, but Mihkel enjoyed every moment.
