Pimedal talvepäeval, kui põhjatuul ulus akna taga, astus Kaisa tasahilju haigla uksest sisse.

On a dark winter day, as the north wind howled outside the window, Kaisa quietly entered the hospital's door.

Tema kingad kriiksusid vastu kivipõrandat.

Her shoes creaked against the stone floor.

Ta oli tulnud külastama oma nooremat venda, Ailarit, kes veetis aega psühhiaatriaosakonnas.

She had come to visit her younger brother, Ailar, who was spending time in the psychiatric ward.

Ailar istus akna all tualettpaberiga voodil, vaadates lumega kaetud õue.

Ailar sat by the window on the bed with toilet paper, looking at the snow-covered courtyard.

Seal oli rahu, kuid tema hinges valitses torm.

There was peace outside, but a storm raged within him.

Kaisa tundis, kuidas Eeva, nende ema, püüdis naeratada.

Kaisa felt how Eeva, their mother, tried to smile.

"Kuidas sa end tunned, Ailar?"

"How are you feeling, Ailar?"

küsis Kaisa ettevaatlikult.

Kaisa asked carefully.

Vaikus vastas talle, ja Kaisa tundis end hetkeks abituna.

Silence answered her, and for a moment, Kaisa felt helpless.

Aga ta teadis, et ei tohi alla anda.

But she knew she must not give up.

Ta istus venna kõrvale, pannes talle käe õlale.

She sat next to her brother, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Ailar värises kergelt, ja Kai püüdis oma käega teda rahustada.

Ailar trembled slightly, and Kai tried to calm him with her touch.

"Ma tean, et see aasta oli raske," alustas Kaisa.

"I know this year has been tough," began Kaisa.

Ta vaatas aknast välja, näidates oma venna poole ja edastas vaikse lubaduse.

She looked out the window, showing her brother's direction and conveying a quiet promise.

"Aga elu ei lõpe siin, saad aru?

"But life doesn't end here, you understand?

Ma olin ka nooruses kadunud.

I, too, was lost in my youth.

Olin kindel, et ei leia väljapääsu, aga meie pere toetus aitas mul jalule tõusta."

I was sure there was no way out, but the support of our family helped me to rise."

Ailar surus huuled kokku, silmad vees.

Ailar pressed his lips together, eyes watering.

Ta ei tahtnud koormata oma perekonda veelgi, aga midagi selles vaikuses ja tema õe loo aususes andis talle jõudu rääkida.

He didn't want to burden his family further, but something in that silence and his sister's honest story gave him the strength to speak.

"Ma tunnen end nii... tühi," sosistas ta lõpuks.

"I feel so... empty," he whispered finally.

Kaisa ja Eeva sulgesid silmad, valu venna sõnades täitis tuba.

Kaisa and Eeva closed their eyes, the pain in their brother's words filling the room.

Kaisa võttis Ailari käe pihku.

Kaisa took Ailar's hand.

"Sa ei ole üksi," ütles ta kindlalt.

"You're not alone," she said firmly.

"Me oleme siin, koos sinuga, ükskõik mis ka ei juhtuks.

"We're here, with you, no matter what happens.

Sa ei pea kandma seda koormat üksi."

You don't have to carry this burden alone."

Eeva noogutas vaikides, pisarad silmanurgas.

Eeva nodded silently, tears at the corners of her eyes.

Ta sirutas oma kiired haaret Ailarile ja kallistas teda soojalt.

She reached out swiftly to Ailar and hugged him warmly.

"Me kõik oleme siin sinu jaoks, poja.

"We are all here for you, my son.

Sul on õigus olla haavatav.

You have the right to be vulnerable.

Ja meil on õigus aidata."

And we have the right to help."

Kuigi Ailar tundis endiselt hirmu, ujus kergenduse lainetus tema üle.

Although Ailar still felt fear, a wave of relief washed over him.

Ta mõistis, et armastus ei tee nõrgaks, vaid tugevdab.

He realized that love does not make one weak; it strengthens.

Kaisa vaatas, kuidas tema vend seda uut arusaamist vastu võttis, ja naeratas.

Kaisa watched as her brother embraced this new understanding and smiled.

Sel talvisel päeval haigla kliiniliste seinte vahel valitses külm, kuid nende väike perering paistis sooja, teed andvat algust.

On this winter day, among the hospital's clinical walls, the cold prevailed, but their small family circle shone with warmth, providing a promising beginning.

Kui nad koos vaikides istusid, hakkasid õues lendleva lumehelbekesed avanema kui uued algused, mida aasta uus päev tõi.

As they sat together in silence, the snowflakes swirling outside began to open like new beginnings that the new year's day brought.
