Kalamaja Gümnaasiumi hoovis oli kevad täies hoos.

In the courtyard of the Kalamaja Gümnaasium, spring was in full swing.

Puude oksad olid täis rohelust, ja kevadõhk lõhnas värskelt.

The branches of the trees were full of greenery, and the spring air smelled fresh.

Kaarel vaatas kaugusse, kus tema väikevend Marek istus üksinda pingil.

Kaarel looked into the distance where his little brother Marek sat alone on a bench.

Kaarel oli 17-aastane ja mõtlik.

Kaarel was 17 years old and pensive.

Viimastel kuudel oli ta tundnud, et Marek on temast kaugenenud.

In recent months, he had felt that Marek had grown distant from him.

Nende vanemate lahutus oli mõlema südamesse sügava jälje jätnud.

Their parents' divorce had left a deep mark on both of their hearts.

Kaarel teadis, et peab midagi ette võtma, et vennaga uuesti side leida.

Kaarel knew he had to do something to reconnect with his brother.

"Marek!"

"Marek!"

hüüdis Kaarel ettevaatlikult, kõndides pingile lähemale.

called Kaarel cautiously as he walked closer to the bench.

Marek tõstis oma pilgu ja vaatas venna poole.

Marek lifted his gaze and looked at his brother.

Tema nägu oli suletud, distantsilt.

His face was closed off, distant.

"Mida sa tahad?"

"What do you want?"

küsis Marek üllatavalt vaikselt.

Marek asked surprisingly quietly.

"Ma mõtlesin, et võiksime koos midagi teha," ütles Kaarel mõtlikult.

"I was thinking we could do something together," said Kaarel thoughtfully.

"Koolis on nädalavahetusel aiaprojekt.

"There's a gardening project at school over the weekend.

Miks mitte koos seda teha?

Why not do it together?

Aed vajab meie abi."

The garden needs our help."

Marek vaatas kõrvale, kaaludes ettepanekut.

Marek looked away, considering the proposal.

Pärast mõningast mõtlemist ta noogutas vaikselt.

After some thought, he nodded quietly.

Nädalavahetusel säras päike erksalt, kui vennad kooli aeda tulid.

During the weekend, the sun shone brightly as the brothers arrived at the school's garden.

Raamatutest uhkelt tõusevad peenrad ootasid hoolitsevaid käsi.

The beds, rising proudly from the books, awaited caring hands.

Esialgu töötasid nad vaikuses, ainult linnulaul rikkus vaikuse.

Initially, they worked in silence, only the birdsong breaking the quiet.

Siis äkki, katkestades kühveldamise rütmi, ütles Marek vaikselt: "Kaarel, ma igatsen, et kõik oleks nagu varem."

Then suddenly, interrupting the rhythm of digging, Marek said quietly, "Kaarel, I miss how things used to be."

Kaarel lõpetas kühveldamise ja istus Mareki kõrvale.

Kaarel stopped digging and sat next to Marek.

"Mina ka, Marek.

"Me too, Marek.

Aga sa tead, et see võtab aega.

But you know it takes time.

Isa ja ema pole koos, kuid see ei tähenda, et meie peame samuti lahku kasvama."

Dad and Mom aren't together, but that doesn't mean we have to grow apart too."

Marek hingas sügavalt sisse, tundes, kuidas raskus tema õlgadelt kergeneb.

Marek took a deep breath, feeling the weight lift off his shoulders.

"Mul on olnud raske," tunnistas ta ausalt.

"It's been hard for me," he admitted honestly.

Kaarel pani käe õrnalt Mareki õlale.

Kaarel gently placed a hand on Marek's shoulder.

"Mul on ka.

"It has been for me too.

Aga teeme nii: hakkame iga nädalavahetus siin aias töötama?

But let's do this: let's work in the garden here every weekend?

Nii saame rohkem koos aega veeta."

That way we can spend more time together."

Marek noogutas julgelt, tundes esimest korda üle pika aja vennaga tõelist sidet.

Marek nodded confidently, feeling a true connection with his brother for the first time in a long while.

Kevadine päike soojendas nende nägusid ja nad jätkasid tööd, teades, et ees on palju tööd, kuid koos suudavad nad üle saada kõigest.

The spring sun warmed their faces, and they continued to work, knowing there was much to do ahead, but together they could overcome anything.

Kaarel mõistis, et nende vendlust ei parandata üleöö, kuid just need väikesed sammud aitavad neil uuesti kokku kasvada.

Kaarel understood that their brotherhood wouldn't be mended overnight, but these small steps would help them grow back together.

Nad seisid õlg-õla kõrval, valmis koos looma midagi ilusat ja uut.

They stood shoulder to shoulder, ready to create something beautiful and new together.
