Story Transcript:
Et: Suvepäike säras Tallinnas, kui Mihkel, Liina ja Karl kogunesid kohviku terrassile, mis paiknes otse Vanalinna südamikus.
En: The summer sun shone in Tallinn as Mihkel, Liina, and Karl gathered on the terrace of a café located right in the heart of the Old Town.
Et: Ümberringi olid vanad majad ning künklikud munakiviteed.
En: Around them were old houses and hilly cobblestone streets.
Et: Lehtede vahelt kumas soe valgus.
En: Warm light glimmered through the leaves.
Et: Mihkel tundis oma mure taas tõusmas nagu tormi-eelne pilv — tal oli uusi märke teisest allergilisest reaktsioonist, seekord päevalilleseemnete suhtes.
En: Mihkel felt his worries rising again like a cloud before a storm — he had new signs of another allergic reaction, this time to sunflower seeds.
Et: Ta meenutas, kuidas eelmisel nädalal, pärast päevalilleseemnetega salati söömist, tema nahk sügeles ning ta kurk kipitas.
En: He recalled how, last week, after eating a salad with sunflower seeds, his skin itched and his throat tingled.
Et: Nüüd viibis ta siin, püüdes mõtted eemale suunata.
En: Now he was here, trying to distract himself.
Et: Ta oli tark noormees, tarkvara-insener, kuid oma tervise pärast muretsemine tuli talle liigagi lihtsalt.
En: He was a smart young man, a software engineer, but worrying about his health came all too easily to him.
Et: Liina tõi kohale auravad kohvijanused.
En: Liina brought steaming cups of coffee.
Et: "Kuidas teil läheb?"
En: "How are you doing?"
Et: küsis ta sõbralikult.
En: she asked kindly.
Et: Karl nosis rahulolevalt, tõmbas tooli lähemale ja libistas menüüd.
En: Karl munched contentedly, pulled a chair closer, and slid the menu over.
Et: Kuid Mihkli meel oli mujal.
En: But Mihkel's mind was elsewhere.
Et: "Ma muretsen," alustas Mihkel, "ma arvan, et mul on tõsine allergia päevalilleseemnete vastu."
En: "I'm worried," Mihkel started, "I think I have a serious allergy to sunflower seeds."
Et: See oli nende jaoks uus uudis, tema häbelik ülestunnistus keset rõõmsat suvepäeva.
En: This was new news for them, his shy confession amidst the cheerful summer day.
Et: Karl vaatas Mihklile otsa, tundes tema ärevust.
En: Karl looked Mihkel in the eye, sensing his anxiety.
Et: "Räägi meile rohkem," oli tema ettepanek.
En: "Tell us more," he suggested.
Et: Mihkel selgitas oma sümptomeid, enda uuest kahtlusest ning murest tuleviku pärast.
En: Mihkel explained his symptoms, his new suspicion, and his concern about the future.
Et: Liina kuulas hoolikalt ja raputas leidlikult pead: "Mihkel, sa tead, et sa pole üksi.
En: Liina listened carefully and shook her head resourcefully: "Mihkel, you know you're not alone.
Et: Me saame igal sammul sulle toeks olla."
En: We can support you every step of the way."
Et: Kuid just siis tundis Mihkel äkki, et kurk kipitas taas.
En: But just then Mihkel suddenly felt his throat tingle again.
Et: Hinge kinni pidades, tõmbas ta kotist välja antihistamiini.
En: Holding his breath, he pulled an antihistamine out of his bag.
Et: "See tundub olevat päris," ütles ta, hääl murelik, kuid ka alandlik.
En: "This seems to be real," he said, his voice worried but also humble.
Et: Liina ja Karl olid kohe abiks, jagades rahustavaid sõnu ja veeklaasi.
En: Liina and Karl were immediately there to he
