Story Transcript:
Et: Suvi oli lõpuks kätte jõudnud, ja see polnud tavaline suvi.
En: Summer had finally arrived, and it was not an ordinary summer.
Et: Arktika tundra oma vägeva külmusega oli muutunud veidike leebemaks, lastes suvevalgusel üle lõputute maapinna sirutada.
En: The Arctic tundra, with its mighty cold, had become a bit milder, allowing the summer light to stretch across the endless ground.
Et: Midnight päike valgustas aastatuhandete vanust jääd, kuid otse siin, Ain vaatas seda vaatamata oma sisemisele külmusele.
En: The midnight sun illuminated the millennia-old ice, but right here, Ain watched it despite his inner coldness.
Et: Maarja oli Ainist paar aastat noorem ja rohkem kui kunagi varem lootis ta pere taas kokku bringida.
En: Maarja was a few years younger than Ain and hoped more than ever to bring the family back together.
Et: Nende isa, Juhan, oli nendel aladel elanud kogu elu, kuid mitte nende südames.
En: Their father, Juhan, had lived in these lands all his life, but not in their hearts.
Et: Soe suvine tuul mängis telgi lõuenditega, kus väike lõke klõbises.
En: The warm summer wind played with the tent's canvas where a small fire crackled.
Et: Ain oli sinna tulnud vaatamata kõigele, sisemise kartuse ja väärikuse sõjas, et lõpuks oma perekonnaga kohtuda.
En: Ain had come there despite everything, in a war of inner fear and dignity, to finally meet his family.
Et: Lõhnad ja hääled olid Maarjale tuttavad, kuid Ain tundis neid kaugena nagu mälestusi lapsepõlvest.
En: The scents and sounds were familiar to Maarja, but Ain felt them distant, like memories from childhood.
Et: "Isal pole lihtne," ütles Maarja, kui nägi oma venna murelikku nägu.
En: "Father doesn't have it easy," said Maarja, seeing her brother's worried face.
Et: "Ta on keegi, kes ei näita oma tundeid."
En: "He is someone who doesn't show his feelings."
Et: Ain noogutas vaikselt, kuid hinges oli torm.
En: Ain nodded silently, but a storm brewed inside him.
Et: Maarja teadis, et ainult väike säde võib nende ema kaotuse järgse pelukorra mälestusväljad lunastada.
En: Maarja knew that only a small spark could redeem the fields of memory after their mother's loss.
Et: Seistes Midsummeri pidustusel, Ain vaatas kaugele, päikesetaevasse, kuigi tema südames oli torm.
En: Standing at the Midsummer celebration, Ain looked far into the sunlit sky, though there was a storm in his heart.
Et: Ja siis tulid sõnad: "Isa."
En: And then the words came: "Father."
Et: Juhan seisis natuke eemal, vaadates kaugusse, kuid kui tema poeg tema poole pöördus, pidi ta rahu leidma.
En: Juhan stood a little way off, looking into the distance, but when his son turned to him, he had to find peace.
Et: "Isa!"
En: "Father!"
Et: kordas Ain, hääl pea peale kergitatud, südames kirev segadus.
En: repeated Ain, voice raised, a colorful confusion in his heart.
Et: "Sa jätsid meid maha," ütles Ain, kandes oma valusaid sõnu nagu rasked kivid.
En: "You left us," said Ain, carrying his painful words like heavy stones.
Et: "Mitmeti."
En: "In many ways."
Et: See hetk venitas välja nagu igavik, kuid siis, Juhan pöördus aeglaselt ja vaatas oma poja poole.
En: The moment stretched out like eternity, but then, Juhan slowly turned and looked at his son.
Et: "Noorukina tegin vigu," ütles ta lõpuks, hääle katki, puudes
