Et: Lumesajus tõttas inimesed soojuse otsingul kohvikusse. En: In the snow, people hurried to the café in search of warmth. Et: Ahti istus kohviku nurgas. En: Ahti sat in the corner of the café. Et: Ta näris huuli ja silmitses ust. En: He bit his lip and watched the door. Et: Vaatas, kuidas lumehelbed aeglaselt maha langesid. En: He looked at how the snowflakes slowly fell to the ground. Et: Ta tundis südames ärevust. En: He felt anxious in his heart. Et: Täna oli päev, mil tema õed, Liina ja Maia, pidid temaga kohtuma. En: Today was the day when his sisters, Liina and Maia, were supposed to meet him. Et: Pikk paus oli nende vahel olnud, täis arusaamatusi ja vaikust. En: There had been a long pause between them, full of misunderstandings and silence. Et: Liina ja Maia tulid kohvikusse, naerdes ja raputades lund juustelt. En: Liina and Maia came into the café, laughing and shaking snow from their hair. Et: Nad märkasid Ahtit ja liikusid tema poole. En: They noticed Ahti and walked towards him. Et: Maia naeratus oli soojem kui tulukesed akendel. En: Maia's smile was warmer than the lights in the windows. Et: Liina hoidis pilku maha. En: Liina kept her eyes down. Et: Ahti tõusis püsti, embas neid kohmakalt. En: Ahti stood up and embraced them awkwardly. Et: "Nii hea teid näha," ütles Ahti, püüdes naeratada, kuigi närvid olid pinges. En: "So good to see you," said Ahti, trying to smile, though his nerves were tense. Et: "Meil ka," vastas Maia. En: "Us too," replied Maia. Et: Tema hääl oli kerge ja helisev, nagu alati. En: Her voice was light and ringing, as always. Et: Liina istus Ahti kõrvale, vaikus nende vahel venis. En: Liina sat next to Ahti, the silence stretched between them. Et: Telliti kohvi ja piparkooke. En: They ordered coffee and gingerbread cookies. Et: Ahti vaatas oma õdesid silmnähtava murega. En: Ahti looked at his sisters with visible concern. Et: Oli aeg rääkida. En: It was time to talk. Et: "Tulin teiega rääkima. En: "I came to talk to you. Et: Rääkima sellest, mis oli ja mis võiks olla," ütles Ahti lõpuks. En: To talk about what was and what could be," Ahti finally said. Et: Liina vaatas Ahtit, tema silmis kerge kurbus. En: Liina looked at Ahti, a slight sadness in her eyes. Et: "Oleme oodanud seda hetke," sõnas ta vaikselt. En: "We’ve been waiting for this moment," she said quietly. Et: "Oleme oodanud, et sa astuksid esimese sammu." En: "We’ve been waiting for you to take the first step." Et: "Vabandust, et olin nii kangekaelne," tunnistas Ahti, häält pisut murdmas. En: "Sorry for being so stubborn," admitted Ahti, his voice slightly breaking. Et: "Ma igatsen meid vanasti. En: "I miss us from the past. Et: Meie koos olemist." En: Our being together." Et: Maia naeratas pehmelt. En: Maia smiled softly. Et: "Ahti, me kõik teeme vigu. En: "Ahti, we all make mistakes. Et: Oluline on, et mõistame üksteist. En: What's important is that we understand each other. Et: Alustame uuesti." En: Let’s start anew." Et: Nad hakkasid rääkima. En: They began to talk. Et: Minevikust, tunnetest, valesti mõistetud sõnadest. En: About the past, feelings, misunderstood words. Et: Kohvik muutus vaikseks oaasiks, kus aeg viivuks peatus. En: The café turned into a quiet oasis where time momentarily paused. Et: Ahti leidis end rääkimas avameelsemalt kui kunagi varem. En: Ahti found himself speaking more openly than ever before.

Et: "Olgem jälle pere," ütles ta kindlalt. En: "Let’s be family again," he said firmly. Et: "Koos igavesti." En: "Together forever." Et: Liina ja Maia pigistasid tema käsi.
