Story Transcript:

Lv: Turaidas pils lepni stāvēja rudenīgajā mežā.
En: The Turaida Castle stood proudly in the autumn forest.

Lv: Dzelteni un sārtie koku lapas rotaļīgi vējā čaukstēja.
En: The yellow and red leaves of the trees rustled playfully in the wind.

Lv: Martins atnāca šeit pēc gadiem, pavadītiem svešumā.
En: Martin had come here after years spent abroad.

Lv: Viņš redzēja pili bērnībā, bet tagad tā šķita citāda.
En: He had seen the castle in his childhood, but now it seemed different.

Lv: Martins joprojām jūtas kā svešinieks.
En: Martin still felt like a stranger.

Lv: Laima, viņa māsa, bija gaidījusi šo dienu.
En: Laima, his sister, had been waiting for this day.

Lv: Viņa vēlējās atkal būt tuva ar brāli.
En: She wanted to be close with her brother again.

Lv: Kopš Martins aizbrauca, ir pagājuši pieci gadi.
En: Five years had passed since Martin left.

Lv: Laima cerēja, ka Martins ir atgriezies uz palikšanu.
En: Laima hoped that Martin had returned to stay.

Lv: Blakus stāvēja Zane, viņu brālēna.
En: Beside her stood Zane, their cousin.

Lv: Viņa bija vidutāja, cilvēks, kurš mēģināja salabūt abus.
En: She was the mediator, the person trying to reconcile the two.

Lv: Viņi visi devās uz pils ieejas pusi.
En: They all moved toward the castle entrance.

Lv: Martins klusēja.
En: Martin was silent.

Lv: Viņš bija cīnījies ar vainas sajūtu.
En: He was struggling with feelings of guilt.

Lv: "Vai es šeit piederu?
En: "Do I belong here?"

Lv: " viņš domāja.
En: he thought.

Lv: Bija grūti šīs domas izkliedēt.
En: It was hard to dispel these thoughts.

Lv: Pils telpās bija vēsa, bet savā ziņā viesmīlīga atmosfēra.
En: Inside the castle, the atmosphere was cool but somehow welcoming.

Lv: Kāpnes veda augšup, kur logi atvērās pret zeltainajām lapām.
En: Stairs led upward, where windows opened to the golden leaves.

Lv: Laima uzrunāja: "Martins, stāsti, kā tev gāja svešumos.
En: Laima spoke up: "Martin, tell us how it was abroad."

Lv: " Viņas balss bija mīļa, bet Martins joprojām vilcinājās.
En: Her voice was gentle, but Martin still hesitated.

Lv: "Tur viss ir citādi," viņš beidzot teica.
En: "Everything is different there," he finally said.

Lv: "Darbs bija grūts, bet iemācījos daudzas lietas.
En: "The work was tough, but I learned many things."

Lv: " Taču bija vēl lietas, ko viņš nesacīja.
En: However, there were other things he left unsaid.

Lv: Zane jūtās, ka atmosfēra kļuva stīva.
En: Zane felt the atmosphere becoming tense.

Lv: Viņa piedāvāja: "Varbūt apskatām pils tornīti?
En: She suggested, "Maybe we should check out the castle tower?"

Lv: " Tā bija vieta, kur viņi bieži kā bērni spēlējās.
En: It was a place where they often played as children.

Lv: Kāpjot uz tornīti, iestājās klusums.
En: As they climbed the tower, silence set in.

Lv: Martins beidzot izlīdzās draudzeni.
En: Martin finally opened his heart.

Lv: "Es atvainojos, ka tik ilgi biju prom.
En: "I'm sorry I was away for so long.

Lv: Lai piedodiet, ja jūs esat vīlušies.
En: Forgive me if you are disappointed."

Lv: " Viņa balss bija klusa, bet cieša.
En: His voice was quiet but firm.

Lv: Laima apstājās un pagriezās.
En: Laima stopped and turned.

Lv: "Mēs saprotam, Martins.
En: "We understand, Martin.

Lv: Mēs tikai vēlamies, lai tu atkal esi ģimenei blakus.
En: We just want you to be close to the family again."

Lv: ""Es ceru, ka varam to labot," Martins sacīja ar cerību.
En: "I hope we can mend it," Martin said with hope.

Lv: Viņš juta, ka rudenīgais gaiss kļūst vieglāks.
En: He felt the autumn air becoming lighter.

Lv: Pils augšā viņi trijatā skatījās uz gleznaino skatu.
En: At the top of the castle, the three of them gazed at the picturesque view.

Lv: Martins dziļi ievilka elpu.
En: Martin took a deep breath.

Lv: Vēja pūtiens šķita aicinošs, un viņa iekšienē kaut kas mainījās.
En: The wind's breeze felt inviting, and something inside him changed.

Lv: Viņš pirmo reizi pēc ilga laika sajuta, kā piederība ģimenei atgriežas.
En: For the first time in a long while, he felt a sense of belonging to his family returning.

Lv: Turpat Turaidas pilī starp vēsturiskajiem mūriem, brālis un māsa atrada kopīgu valodu.
En: There in Turaida Castle, among the historical walls, brother and sister found common ground.

Lv: Viņi sāk rekonstrukciju - ne tikai pils augšā, bet arī savā sirdī.
En: They began reconstruction—not just at the top of the castle, but in their hearts as well.
