En: The hot summer sun illuminated the Karnaki temple complex in Egypt. Et: Mart, Kaja ja Indrek jalutasid võimsate sambakujude vahel. En: Mart, Kaja, and Indrek walked among the mighty statues of pillars. Et: Hieroglüüfid kiviseintel rääkisid iidseid lugusid. En: The hieroglyphs on the stone walls told ancient stories. Et: Mart hoidis käes väikest sametist karbikest. En: Mart held a small velvet box in his hand. Et: Tema süda tagus kiiresti, sest ta plaanis Kajat paluda endale naiseks. En: His heart was beating fast because he planned to ask Kaja to marry him. Et: "Vaata, kui ilusad need sambad on," ütles Kaja, kui nad jõudsid suure saali juurde. En: "Look how beautiful these pillars are," said Kaja as they reached the large hall. Et: Indrek hüppas ringi, tehes väikseid naljakaid tantsusamme. En: Indrek jumped around, making small funny dance steps. Et: See pani Marti naerma, kuid ka närveerima. En: This made Mart laugh but also nervous. Et: Ta teadis, et peab leidma õige hetke. En: He knew he had to find the right moment. Et: Mart muretses, et turiste oli palju ja melu segas tema plaane. En: Mart was worried that there were too many tourists and the bustle disturbed his plans. Et: Ta otsustas kõndida edasi, otsides rahulikumat kohta. En: He decided to walk further, looking for a quieter place. Et: "Käime edasi, seal võib olla vaiksem," pakkus ta. En: "Let's walk on; it might be quieter over there," he suggested. Et: Kaja ja Indrek järgnesid huviga. En: Kaja and Indrek followed with interest. Et: Kolmekesi jõudsid nad vähem rahvarohkesse templiosasse. En: The three of them reached a less crowded part of the temple. Et: Siin oli vaiksem. En: It was quieter here. Et: Mart tundis, et see on just õige koht. En: Mart felt that this was the right place. Et: Samal ajal hakkas päike laskuma, maalides kivid kullakarva. En: Meanwhile, the sun began to set, painting the stones golden. Et: Mart hingas sügavalt sisse. En: Mart took a deep breath. Et: "Kaja," alustas ta rahulikult, "ma tahan öelda, kui palju sa mulle tähendad." En: "Kaja," he started calmly, "I want to tell you how much you mean to me." Et: Kaja naeratas, kuigi oli pisut üllatunud. En: Kaja smiled, though she was a bit surprised. Et: Indrek astus veidi kaugemale, andes neile ruumi. En: Indrek stepped a little further back, giving them space. Et: "Mul on sulle midagi," ütles Mart, võttes sametist karbi taskust. En: "I have something for you," said Mart, taking the velvet box out of his pocket. Et: Kaja silmad läksid suureks, kui ta avas karbi ja nägi seal sees olevat sõrmust. En: Kaja's eyes grew wide when she opened the box and saw the ring inside. Et: Mart laskus põlvele. En: Mart knelt down. Et: "Kaja, kas sa abielluksid minuga?" En: "Kaja, would you marry me?" Et: küsis ta. En: he asked. Et: Tema hääl oli kindel, kuigi süda tagus endiselt kiirelt. En: His voice was firm, though his heart was still beating fast. Et: Päike kastis kõik ümberringi soojadesse toonidesse, nagu loodus ise oleks neid õnnistanud. En: The sun cast everything around in warm tones, as if nature itself had blessed them. Et: Kaja näol ilmus suur naeratus. En: A big smile appeared on Kaja's face. Et: "Jah, loomulikult!" En: "Yes, of course!" Et: hüüdis ta rõõmsalt ja kallistas Marti. En: she exclaimed joyfully and hugged Mart. Et: Indrek plaksutas ja ütles: "Tahan selle hetke pildile saada!" En: Indrek clapped and said, "I want to capture this moment!" Et: Ta tegi neist pildi, mis jäädvustas hetke igaveseks. En: He took a picture of them, capturing the moment forever. Et: Siin, Karnaki templis, sai Mart oma unistuse teoks. En: Here, at the Karnaki temple, Mart made his dream come true. Et: Proovimine ja ootamine võimaldasid tal leida õige hetk. En: Trying and waiting allowed him to find the right moment. Et: Ta tundis end oma tunnetes kindlamana. En: He felt more confident in his feelings. Et: Kaja ja Indrek olid talle kallid ja nende jagatud rõõm muutis neid kõiki lähedasemaks. En: Kaja and Indrek were dear to him, and the shared joy brought them all closer together. Et: Nad lahkusid templist käest kinni hoides, jagades imelist hetke, mis jääb igaveseks meelde.
