Gaisma Rīgas debesīs bija spoža, it īpaši no modernas debesskrāpja augšas.

The light in the Rīga sky was bright, especially from the top of a modern skyscraper.

Logi visapkārt, sniega pārslas dejoja ārpusē.

Windows all around, snowflakes danced outside.

Šī bija vieta, kur Jānis un Inese tiksies pēc gada.

This was the place where Jānis and Inese would meet after a year.

Jānis skatījās uz pilsētu, lai nepadotos nervozitātei.

Jānis looked at the city to not succumb to nerves.

Viņš zināja, ka šī saruna svarīga.

He knew that this conversation was important.

Viņam bija jāsaka, ko uz sirds.

He had to say what was on his mind.

Inese ieradās kā vienmēr, eleganta un pārliecināta.

Inese arrived as always, elegant and confident.

Viņa noskatījās uz brāli ar smaidu, kas slēpa viņas iekšējo trauksmi.

She looked at her brother with a smile that hid her internal anxiety.

Viņa viņu mīlēja, bet viņas dzīve bija pilna ar darbiem un atbildību.

She loved him, but her life was full of work and responsibility.

"Sveiks, Jāni," viņa teica, pārāk formāli, pat pašai par to saprotot.

"Hello, Jāni," she said, too formally, even realizing it herself.

"Sveika, Inese," viņš atbildēja, jūtoties kā mazs brālis, kurš stāv māsu priekšā.

"Hello, Inese," he replied, feeling like a little brother standing before his sister.

Viņš piegāja tuvāk logam, skatoties uz pilsētu.

He walked closer to the window, looking at the city.

"Tu vienmēr esi bijusi tik veiksmīga," viņš sāka.

"You've always been so successful," he began.

"Bet es.

"But I...

es vēlos, lai mēs būtu tuvāki.

I wish we were closer."

"Inese nezināja, ko teikt.

Inese didn't know what to say.

Viņa bija pārsteigta par Jāņa sirsnību.

She was surprised by Jānis' sincerity.

Viņa saprata, ka viņa panākumi bijuši šķēršļi.

She realized that her success had been an obstacle.

Viņa nodūra acis un teica: "Es biju tik koncentrēta uz darbu, ka esmu tevi ignorējusi.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I was so focused on work that I've ignored you."

" Viņa pats saprata, cik grūti bija būt atklātai.

She understood how difficult it was to be open.

Smaguma moments.

A moment of gravity.

Jānis pagriezās pret Inesi.

Jānis turned to Inese.

"Man patīk, ka esi veiksmīga," viņš teica.

"I like that you're successful," he said.

"Bet es esmu vairāk nekā tikai mana darba panākumi.

"But I'm more than just my work achievements.

Es vēlos, lai tu arī to redzi.

I want you to see that too."

"Inese sajuta brāļa siltumu, un viņas sirds atkausa.

Inese felt her brother's warmth, and her heart melted.

Viņa piegāja, atvēra rokas un apskāva viņu.

She approached, opened her arms, and hugged him.

Sīkās pārslas aiz loga turpināja savu valsi.

The tiny flakes outside the window continued their waltz.

"Es saprotu, Jāni," viņa klusi sacīja.

"I understand, Jāni," she quietly said.

"Es vēlos, lai mēs būtu tuvāki.

"I want us to be closer.

Mēs varam sākt tūlīt.

We can start now."

"Viņi abi skatījās uz Rīgu, kas mirdzēja, solot jaunas sākuma iespējas.

They both gazed at Rīga, which sparkled, promising new beginnings.

Viņi vienojās par kopīgām nedēļas nogales izbraucieniem, un Jānis sajuta, ka beidzot ir uzkāpis savā mazajā Everestā.

They agreed on weekend outings together, and Jānis felt like he had finally climbed his own little Everest.

Inese saprata, ka ne tikai darba panākumi ir svarīgi, bet arī siltas, īstas attiecības.

Inese realized that not only career success was important, but also warm, genuine relationships.

Viņu ceļš bija skaidrs, un, lai kur viņu ceļi veda, viņi zināja, ka vairs nebūs sveši viens otram.

Their path was clear, and wherever their paths led, they knew they would no longer be strangers to each other.
