Story Transcript:
Lv: Siltās vasaras pēcpusdienā, Marišs stāvēja pilsētas sirdī, uz modernā debesskrāpja jumta Rīgā.
En: On a warm summer afternoon, Marišs stood at the heart of the city, on the rooftop of a modern skyscraper in Rīga.
Lv: No šejienes viņš varēja redzēt gan veco pilsētu, gan jaunās ēkas, kas cēlās debesīs.
En: From there, he could see both the old town and the new buildings rising into the sky.
Lv: Vējš glāstīja viņa seju, un saule spīdēja spoži.
En: The wind caressed his face, and the sun shone brightly.
Lv: Tā bija pirmā skolas diena pēc vasaras brīvdienām, bet Marišs juta nemieru.
En: It was the first day of school after summer vacation, but Marišs felt uneasy.
Lv: Skola šodien bija pilna ar balsīm un smiekliem.
En: The school was full of voices and laughter today.
Lv: Bet Marišs vienmēr jutās nedaudz atšķirīgs.
En: But Marišs always felt a little different.
Lv: Viņam patika būt vienatnē un domāt par dzīvi un pasauli.
En: He preferred to be alone and think about life and the world.
Lv: Šovasar viņš bija daudz domājis par to, kā atrast savu vietu pasaulē.
En: This summer, he had thought a lot about how to find his place in the world.
Lv: Skolā bija sākusi mācīties jauna meitene - Elīna.
En: A new girl, Elīna, had started attending the school.
Lv: Viņa dievināja arhitektūru, tieši tāpat kā viņš.
En: She adored architecture, just like he did.
Lv: Bet Marišs bija pārāk kautrīgs, lai uzrunātu viņu.
En: But Marišs was too shy to approach her.
Lv: Kad pienāca pusdienlaiks, Marišs izlēma uz brīdi aizbēgt no trokšņainās skolas.
En: When lunchtime came, Marišs decided to escape the noisy school for a moment.
Lv: Viņš devās uz debesskrāpja jumtu, lai sakārtotu savas domas.
En: He went to the skyscraper's rooftop to organize his thoughts.
Lv: Viņš cerēja, ka augstos debesu skatos atradīs mieru un drosmi.
En: He hoped to find peace and courage in the high views of the sky.
Lv: Līdzko viņš bija uzkāpis uz jumta, Marišs saprata, ka nav viens.
En: As soon as he reached the rooftop, Marišs realized he was not alone.
Lv: Tur bija arī Elīna.
En: Elīna was there too.
Lv: Viņa stāvēja pie malas un skatījās uz pilsētu, gluži kā viņš.
En: She stood at the edge, looking at the city just like he was.
Lv: Marišs sastinga.
En: Marišs froze.
Lv: Viņa sirds sāka sisties straujāk.
En: His heart began to beat faster.
Lv: Viņa prāts cīnījās starp vēlmi palikt un vēlmi bēgt.
En: His mind fought between the desire to stay and the urge to flee.
Lv: Elīna pamanīja viņu un pasmaidīja.
En: Elīna noticed him and smiled.
Lv: "Sveiki, Mariš!
En: "Hello, Mariš!
Lv: Vai arī tevi aizrauj šis skats?
En: Are you also captivated by this view?"
Lv: " viņa jautāja.
En: she asked.
Lv: Marišs iekoda lūpā.
En: Marišs bit his lip.
Lv: Viņš juta, kā viņa rokas kļūst sviedrainas.
En: He felt his hands grow sweaty.
Lv: "Jā, ļoti," viņš klusā balsī atbildēja.
En: "Yes, very much," he replied quietly.
Lv: Elīna tuvojās viņam.
En: Elīna approached him.
Lv: "Es zinu, ka mīlu Rīgu.
En: "I know I love Rīga.
Lv: Vecās ēkas šeit ir tik brīnišķīgas.
En: The old buildings here are so wonderful.
Lv: Es vienmēr brīnos, kā tās ir uzceltas.
En: I always wonder how they were built."
Lv: ""Laikam tas ir tas, kas mūs vieno," Marišs beidzot saņēma drosmi atbildēt.
En: "It seems that's what connects us," Marišs finally mustered the courage to respond.
Lv: "Arhitektūra ir mana kaislība.
En: "Architecture is my passion."
Lv: "Viņi smaidīja viens otram.
En: They smiled at each other.
Lv: Saruna plūda viegli, kā rīta saulē izkūstoši mākoņi.
En: The conversation flowed easily, like clouds melting in the morning sun.
Lv: Tās stundas uz jumta mainīja Marišu.
En: Those hours on the rooftop changed Marišs.
Lv: Viņš jutās mazliet drosmīgāks, mazliet tuvāk pasaulei un sev.
En: He felt a little braver, a bit closer to the world and himself.
Lv: Vēlāk, kad viņš atgriezās klasē, Marišs sajuta, ka namā starp cilvēkiem veidojas tilti.
En: Later, when he returned to class, Marišs felt bridges forming among people.
Lv: Viņš saprata - dal
