Story Transcript:

Et: Kuum suvepäike valgustas Karnaki templi kompleksi Egiptuses.
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:...
