Story Transcript:
Lv: Rīgas Centrāltirgus vienmēr pilns čalām un krāsām.
En: Rīgas Centrāltirgus is always full of chatter and colors.
Lv: Rudens gaisa svaigums, ražas aromāts un cilvēku plūsma padara tirgu īpašu.
En: The freshness of the autumn air, the aroma of the harvest, and the flow of people make the market special.
Lv: Tur satiekas trīs māsas un brālis: Aivars, Baiba un Inese.
En: Three sisters and a brother meet there: Aivars, Baiba, and Inese.
Lv: Viņiem jārisina svarīgs jautājums — tēva mantojums.
En: They have to resolve an important issue — their father's inheritance.
Lv: Aivars, vecākais, ar skatu uz stingro, viņam svarīgs ir taisnīgums.
En: Aivars, the eldest, with a stern look, values justice.
Lv: Baiba — starpniece, viņa gluži kā rudens vējš cenšas gludināt nesaskaņas.
En: Baiba — the mediator, is like the autumn wind trying to smooth out disagreements.
Lv: Inese — jaunākā, tieši kā rudens lapas, spirgta un dažreiz vēloties pierādīt sevi.
En: Inese — the youngest, just like autumn leaves, vibrant and sometimes wanting to prove herself.
Lv: Viņi apsēžas kafejnīcā Rīgas sirdī.
En: They sit down in a café in the heart of Rīga.
Lv: Kafijas smarža sajaucas ar svaigu ābolu un rudens ziedu aromātu.
En: The smell of coffee mixes with the aroma of fresh apples and autumn flowers.
Lv: Aivars sāk: "Mums jāvienojas, kā sadalīt tēva īpašumus.
En: Aivars begins: "We need to agree on how to divide father's properties."
Lv: " Viņa balss tāla un formāla.
En: His voice is distant and formal.
Lv: Baiba maigāka: "Svarīgi, lai visi justos apmierināti.
En: Baiba is gentler: "It's important that everyone feels satisfied.
Lv: Varbūt mēs varam arī uzklausīt viens otru?
En: Perhaps we can also listen to each other?"
Lv: " Inese, savas domas nespēj apslēpt: "Es vienkārši vēlos, lai mēs kā ģimene būtu vienoti.
En: Inese, unable to hide her thoughts, says: "I just want us as a family to be united."
Lv: "Taču runājot, neatrisināti pagātnes pārmetumi paceļas no aizmirstības.
En: However, as they speak, unresolved grudges from the past resurface from oblivion.
Lv: "Aivars, tu bieži nedomāji par mums," teica Inese.
En: "Aivars, you often didn't consider us," said Inese.
Lv: Aivars pieklust, tad atbild: "Es tikai gribēju, lai viss būtu kārtībā.
En: Aivars falls silent, then responds: "I just wanted everything to be alright."
Lv: " Cilvēki apkārt turpina savas gaitas, neredzot dziļo sarunu.
En: People around them continue with their routines, unaware of the deep conversation.
Lv: Sasprindzinājums tik augsts, it kā tūlīt sāksies lietus.
En: The tension is as high as if it might start raining any moment.
Lv: Aivars dziļi ievelk elpu.
En: Aivars takes a deep breath.
Lv: "Es zinu, es biju stingrs.
En: "I know, I was strict.
Lv: Bet tēvam ģimene bija vissvarīgākā.
En: But to father, family was the most important.
Lv: Viņš vienmēr runāja par šo vietu pie upes…" Viņi visi atceras to veco soliņu, kur tēvs vakarējās.
En: He always talked about that place by the river…" They all remember that old bench where their father used to spend evenings.
Lv: Arī Baiba un Inese tajā brīdī saprot — nevienam vieni īpašumi nevar būt svarīgāki par ģimenes saiti.
En: In that moment, Baiba and Inese also understand — no property can be more im
