Rīga bija dzestra un sniegota, kad Līga, Jānis un Kārlis devās uz Centrāltirgu.
Rīga was brisk and snowy when Līga, Jānis, and Kārlis headed to the Centrāltirgus.
Ziemas gaiss bija piepildīts ar ķimenēm un priežu smaržu, liekot sirdīm pukstēt jo ātrāk.
The winter air was filled with the scent of caraway and pine, making hearts beat faster.
Tirgus bija pilns ar cilvēkiem, kas mudzēja kā bites stropa.
The market was full of people buzzing like bees in a hive.
Līga bija apņēmības pilna.
Līga was determined.
Viņa gribēja, lai šī gada Jaungada ballīte būtu perfektā.
She wanted this year's New Year's Eve party to be perfect.
"Tas izskatās labi," Līga teica, piestājot pie stenda ar svaigiem augļiem.
"That looks good," Līga said, stopping at a stall with fresh fruits.
"Bet cena ir pārāk augsta," viņa piebilda, uzmetusi neapmierinātu skatu uz zīmīti ar cenu.
"But the price is too high," she added, casting a dissatisfied glance at the price tag.
Jānis pakasīja zodu.
Jānis scratched his chin.
"Varbūt mēs varam kaut ko aizstāt," viņš ierosināja.
"Maybe we can substitute something," he suggested.
Bet Līga bija noteikta, ka tam visam jābūt perfekti.
But Līga was adamant that everything had to be perfect.
Viņa vilka ciešāk ap pleciem melno mēteli un gāja tālāk gar stendiem.
She pulled her black coat tighter around her shoulders and continued down the stalls.
Kārlis pavēra spēcīgu plecu, lai tiktu tuvāk pie groziem ar gaļu.
Kārlis used his broad shoulder to get closer to the baskets of meat.
"Šeit nav tas, ko tu meklē, Līga," viņš nopūtās, vērodamies tumšām acīm uz plašo tirgus telpu.
"What you're looking for isn't here, Līga," he sighed, gazing with dark eyes at the vast market space.
Līga uz brīdi apstājās, apskatot pūli.
Līga paused for a moment, surveying the crowd.
Viņas domas klīda uz vienu nomācošu atmiņu, bet viņa ātri to atraidīja.
Her thoughts drifted to one somber memory, but she quickly dismissed it.
Viņai bija jāatrod risinājums.
She needed to find a solution.
Viņa devās tālāk, nebūdama pārliecināta, kurp.
She moved on, unsure of where.
Pēkšņi Kārlis sauca: "Līga!
Suddenly, Kārlis called out, "Līga!
Skaties šeit!
Look here!"
" Viņš rādīja uz nelielu stūri tirgū, kuru viņi vēl nebija apsvēruši.
He was pointing to a small corner of the market they hadn't yet considered.
Tas bija slēpts kontakts, kuru citi pircēji šķietami nebija pamanījuši.
It was a hidden stand that other shoppers seemed to have overlooked.
Līga, sekojot kāriem skatieniem, piegāja tuvāk.
Following his eager glance, Līga stepped closer.
Tur bija sieviete ar smaidīgu seju un stendu, pilnu ar nepieciešamajām lietām.
There was a woman with a smiling face and a stall full of essentials.
"Labdien!
"Hello!"
" sveicināja tirgussieviete, izkārtojot uz letes krāsainus rotājumus un spīdīgu, svaigu pārtiku.
greeted the market woman, arranging colorful decorations and shiny, fresh food on the counter.
Līga uzsmaidīja atpakaļ.
Līga smiled back.
Svaigi kartupeļi un burkāni, skaisti dekorēti svečturi un svētku saldumi jau bija jau divos maisos.
Fresh potatoes and carrots, beautifully decorated candle holders, and festive sweets were already in two bags.
Cenas bija lieliskas.
The prices were great.
Pēc saražojuma izvēles un dažiem draudzīgiem vārdiem ar pārdevēju, Līga sajuta atvieglinājumu.
After choosing the produce and having a few friendly words with the vendor, Līga felt relieved.
Viņas sirds ieguva jaunu cerību pulsu, kad viņa ar draugiem stāvēja pie tirgus ieejas, sagatavojusies atgriezties mājās.
Her heart gained a new hope pulse as she stood with her friends at the market entrance, ready to return home.
Līga lēnām pagrieza galvu un noskatījās, kā sniegs lēni krīt no debesīm.
Līga slowly turned her head and watched the snow gently fall from the sky.
Viņa zināja, ka šogad viņa būs citāda.
She knew this year she would be different.
Atgriezās smaids, un viņa sagaidīja Jauno Gadu ar jaunu pārliecību un optimismu.
A smile returned, and she faced the New Year with newfound confidence and optimism.
"Šī būs neaizmirstama Jaungada nakts," viņa teica, turēdama pie rokas savus pirkumus un dodoties ar draugiem uz māju ceļu.
"This will be an unforgettable New Year's Eve," she said, holding her purchases in hand and heading home with her friends.
