Story Transcript:
Et: Kalevi hing oli raske nagu sügisöine taevas, mis ripub madalal üle Käsmu poolsaare.
En: Kalevi soul was as heavy as the autumn night sky hanging low over the Käsmu peninsula.
Et: Ta seisis üksinda mere ääres, kus lained vaikse susinaga kaldale libisesid.
En: He stood alone by the sea, where the waves slid quietly to the shore.
Et: Ümberringi laius värviline sügis, männipuud sosistasid tasakesi ja lehed keerlesid tuules.
En: A colorful autumn spanned around him, the pine trees whispered softly, and the leaves swirled in the wind.
Et: Veel mõned päevad tagasi oli Kalev end üksikuna tundnud.
En: Just a few days ago, Kalev had felt lonely.
Et: Aga nüüd oli pere koos, et mälestada kadunud kallimat.
En: But now the family was together to commemorate a lost loved one.
Et: Maarika, Kalevi õde, oli korraldanud koosviibimise.
En: Maarika, Kalevi sister, had organized the gathering.
Et: Ta tahtis, et kõik tunneksid end lähedase ja turvalisena, isegi kui lein nende südames varitses.
En: She wanted everyone to feel close and safe, even if grief lurked in their hearts.
Et: Jaan, Kalevi vanem vennapoeg, oli pragmaatiline ja skeptiline.
En: Jaan, Kalevi elder nephew, was pragmatic and skeptical.
Et: Tema terav mõistus hoidis kõik jalul.
En: His sharp mind kept everyone on their toes.
Et: "Miks me siin oleme?
En: "Why are we here?"
Et: " küsis Jaan, käed taskus ja pilk silmapiiril.
En: asked Jaan, hands in his pockets, gaze on the horizon.
Et: Talle meeldis selgus ja otsekohesus.
En: He liked clarity and straightforwardness.
Et: "See on aeg leinata, aga ka aeg leppimiseks," vastas Maarika rahulikult, andes kõigile kuuma teed tassidesse.
En: "This is a time to mourn, but also a time for reconciliation," replied Maarika calmly, pouring hot tea into cups for everyone.
Et: Maarika teadis, kuidas tuua rahu südamesse, samas kui sügise külm õhk nende ümber keerles.
En: Maarika knew how to bring peace to the heart, even as the cold autumn air swirled around them.
Et: Kalev klammerdus tassiga, pidades kinni sellest soojusest.
En: Kalev grasped the cup, holding onto its warmth.
Et: Tema sees oli juba ammu süü, mis valutas kõvemini nüüd, kui perekond koos oli.
En: Inside him, there was a long-standing guilt, aching more now that the family was together.
Et: Ta vaatas neid, teadmata, kuidas oma südametunnistuse iga valusa detaili väljendada.
En: He looked at them, uncertain how to express every painful detail of his conscience.
Et: "Mu süda ei leia veel rahu," lausus Kalev lõpuks tasakesi.
En: "My heart has not yet found peace," Kalev finally said quietly.
Et: "Ma kandsin endas kahju ja kahetsust.
En: "I carried damage and regret within me.
Et: Meie isa.
En: Our father...
Et: ma ei öelnud talle kõike, mida oleksin pidanud.
En: I didn’t tell him everything I should have."
Et: "Meri oli vaikne, kui Maarika ja Jaan vahetasid pilke.
En: The sea was silent as Maarika and Jaan exchanged glances.
Et: "Isa teadis, et sa armastasid teda," kinnitas Maarika.
En: "Father knew you loved him," assured Maarika.
Et: "Ta teadis, mis su südames on, vend.
En: "He knew what was in your heart, brother."
Et: "Kalev tundis, kuidas pisarad silmanurka kerkisid.
En: Kalev felt tears rise to the corner of his eye.
