Pärnu Rannakohviku aknad olid suured ja neist avanes vaade merele.

The windows of the Pärnu Rannakohvik were large and offered a view of the sea.

Õues keerlesid langenud lehed, kandes sügise hõngu kohvikusse.

Outside, fallen leaves swirled, carrying the scent of autumn into the café.

Kertu istus lauanaabritele silma.

Kertu stood out to the people at neighboring tables.

Ta pidi nägema, et tänane koosolek sujuks.

She needed to ensure that today's meeting would go smoothly.

"Madis, oled sa kirja pannud meie ideed?"

"Madis, have you written down our ideas?"

küsis Kertu, kui Madis viimaks kohvikuuksest sisse astus, pisut hilinenuna.

asked Kertu as Madis finally stepped through the café's door, slightly delayed.

"Veel mitte," vastas Madis, kruusikaev kiigates.

"Not yet," replied Madis, glancing at the coffee bar.

Ta venitas sõnu rahulikult nagu alati, mis ajas Kertut aeg-ajalt närvi.

He always spoke in a calm, drawn-out manner, which occasionally irritated Kertu.

Ta teadis küll, et Madis oli loov, kuid sageli liiga muretu.

She knew that Madis was creative, but often too carefree.

Pille, kes juba kohvikus istet võtnud oli, kehitas õlgu.

Pille, who had already taken a seat in the café, shrugged.

"Mõtlesin, et võiksime peaaegu kõike proovida nädalavahetusel," ütles ta kiirelt, täis energiat nagu alati.

"I thought we could try almost anything over the weekend," she said quickly, full of energy as always.

"Miks mitte teha meie projektist midagi ägedat?"

"Why not make something awesome out of our project?"

Kertu teadis, et Pille ideed olid alati põnevad, kuid neil kipus puuduma realistlik pool.

Kertu knew that Pille's ideas were always exciting, but they tended to lack realism.

"Meil on tähtaeg, Pille," meenutas Kertu.

"We have a deadline, Pille," reminded Kertu.

Kohtumine algas ja Kertu püüdis hoiduda teemaga kõrvale kaldumisest.

The meeting began, and Kertu tried to keep the topic from drifting.

Madis ja Pille aga kaldusid kergesti vabahariduse radadele.

However, Madis and Pille easily ventured onto paths of free learning.

Pille idee, mida Madis toetas, oli mõlemat kiskuma läinud, ja Kertu tundis, kuidas koosoleku tasakaal habiseb.

The idea from Pille, supported by Madis, had captivated them both, and Kertu felt the balance of the meeting faltering.

Lõpuks tekkis plahvatus.

Finally, there was an outburst.

Pille ja Madis vaidlesid kirega oma lähenemise üle.

Pille and Madis ardently debated their approach.

Kertu otsustas, et peab sekkuma.

Kertu decided she had to intervene.

"Kas me võiksime näiteks teha niimoodi, et arvestame kõigi ideid?

"Could we perhaps do it in such a way that we consider everyone's ideas?

Madis, palun pane kirja Pille soovid ja vaatame, kuidas need mahutada meie plaani."

Madis, please take note of Pille's wishes and let's see how we can incorporate them into our plan."

Pinged vaibusid ja kõik vaatasid Kertule.

The tension eased, and everyone looked at Kertu.

See aeglustas vihma Pärnu rannal, kere tõstis kõrvu.

It slowed the rain on the Pärnu beach, piquing interest.

Siis naeratas Madis ning Pille noogutas.

Then Madis smiled and Pille nodded.

Nad töötasid läbi, tasakaalustades loomingulist vabadust ja planeeritud struktuuri.

They worked through it, balancing creative freedom and a planned structure.

Pärnu Rannakohvik täitis neid langetava päikesevalgusega, andes koosolekule lõõgastava lõpu.

The Pärnu Rannakohvik enveloped them in the waning sunlight, providing a relaxing end to the meeting.

Kertu tundis, kuidas mure kadus tema õlult.

Kertu felt her worries lift from her shoulders.

Ta teadis, et oskas nüüd paremini juhtida — mitte ainult järgides reegleid, vaid ka avardades mõtlemist ja usaldades meeskonna panust.

She knew she was now better at leading — not just by following rules, but by expanding her thinking and trusting the contributions of her team.

Koos lahkudes arvas Kertu, et selle sügise algus tõotab, et ees on midagi rohkem kui lihtsalt projekti lõpetamine.

As they left together, Kertu thought that this beginning of autumn promised more than just completing a project.

Ta teadis, et õppis midagi väärtuslikku nii enda kui ka teiste kohta.

She knew she had learned something valuable about herself and others.
