Valge lumi kattis Soomaa rahulikud laaned nagu pehme tekk.

White snow covered the peaceful forests of Soomaa like a soft blanket.

Kaja ja Uku astusid tasa mööda lumist metsarada.

Kaja and Uku walked quietly along the snowy forest path.

Puude oksad olid rasked lumekoorma all.

The branches of the trees were heavy with the weight of the snow.

Õhk oli karge ja vaikne, ainult nende sammud krudisesid lumel.

The air was crisp and silent, only their footsteps crunched in the snow.

Kaja hoidis pea madalal, vaadates oma halli saapakestega jälgi lumes.

Kaja kept her head low, watching her gray bootprints in the snow.

Uku jälgis vahvaid mustrelisi lumehelbeid, mis aeg-ajalt ta nina peale maandusid.

Uku watched the funny patterned snowflakes that occasionally landed on his nose.

Nad polnud aastaid niimoodi koos olnud.

They hadn't been together like this for years.

"Kaja," alustas Uku ettevaatlikult.

"Kaja," Uku began cautiously.

"Ma... ma tahan vabandada.

"I...

Selle pärast, mis juhtus."

I want to apologize.

Kaja peatus ja pöördus venna poole.

For what happened."

Ta silmad olid tõsised, peegeldades metsa rahu ja sügavust.

Kaja stopped and turned to her brother.

"Uku, ma olen mõelnud palju sellele.

Her eyes were serious, reflecting the peace and depth of the forest.

Ma tahan kuulda sinu poolset lugu."

"Uku, I've thought a lot about it.

Uku hingas sügavalt sisse.

I want to hear your side of the story."

"Ma ei teadnud, et see sind nii palju haiget teeb.

Uku took a deep breath.

Ma olin... noor ja rumal.

"I didn't know it hurt you so much.

Ma lihtsalt lootsin, et sa andestad mulle."

I was... young and foolish.

Nad liikusid edasi, möödudes jäätunud tiigist.

I just hoped you would forgive me."

Kaja mõtles hetkeks, enne kui vastas.

They moved on, passing a frozen pond.

"See ei olnud lihtne.

Kaja thought for a moment before responding.

Ma olin sinu peale pettunud.

"It wasn't easy.

Aga...

I was disappointed in you.

Täna on see päev, mil me võiksime rääkida."

But... Today is the day we might talk."

Kaja sõnad olid julgustavad.

Kaja's words were encouraging.

Uku tundis, kuidas väike lootus tema sees kasvas.

Uku felt a small hope grow inside him.

Ta tahtis mõista ja olla mõistetud.

He wanted to understand and be understood.

"Ma tõesti kahetsen, Kaja."

"I really regret it, Kaja."

Nad jõudsid metsalagendikule, kus lumi säras päikesevalguses.

They reached a clearing in the forest, where the snow sparkled in the sunlight.

Oli vaikne, ainult nende hingamine oli kuuldav.

It was quiet, only their breathing could be heard.

Äkki libises Kaja ja komistas, sõrmed haardusid Uku mantlisabasse.

Suddenly, Kaja slipped and stumbled, her fingers grabbing the hem of Uku's coat.

Uku haaras temast kinni ja tõmbas ta enda poole.

Uku caught her and pulled her towards him.

Mõlemad naersid, kergendustunne pesi üle nende nagu soe laine.

Both laughed, a sense of relief washing over them like a warm wave.

Naer vaibus, kuid õhku jäi pisut kergem tunne.

The laughter faded, but the air felt a bit lighter.

"Aitäh," ütles Kaja, veel natuke hingetu.

"Thank you," Kaja said, still a little breathless.

Uku vaatas teda, siiras ja avatud.

Uku looked at her, sincere and open.

"Läheme koos edasi, õde."

"Let's move forward together, sister."

Nad istusid hetkeks maha, lume peale, sabadesse kogunenud lahkarvamused lumesulades.

They sat down for a moment on the snow, the disagreements gathered in their tails melting away.

Nad rääkisid, jagasid mälestusi, seletusi ja arusaamatusi.

They talked, shared memories, explanations, and misunderstandings.

Metsa vaikuses leidsid nad üksteise mõistmise.

In the silence of the forest, they found understanding with each other.

Õhtuks oli mets pimedas, taevas säras tähtedest.

By evening, the forest was dark, the sky sparkling with stars.

Kaja ja Uku tõusid püsti, lumi nende mantlitel kergel valgendusel.

Kaja and Uku stood up, snow lightly dusting their coats.

Nad kõndisid rahulikumalt, mõlema hinge kerge paistev kohtumeel.

They walked more calmly, a light of reconciliation shining in both their souls.

Sel ööl, Soomaa rahu all, hakkasid nad ehitama uut silda teineteisele.

That night, under the peace of Soomaa, they began building a new bridge for each other.

Ehkki mõlemad veel õppisid, tunti leppimise ja andestuse soojust oma südametes.

Although both were still learning, the warmth of forgiveness and reconciliation was felt in their hearts.

Kaja oli valmis andeks andma.

Kaja was ready to forgive.

Uku oli valmis rohkem mõtlema teiste tunnetele.

Uku was ready to think more about others' feelings.

Ja see oli nende uus algus.

And this was their new beginning.
