Story Transcript:

Lv: Saule spīdēja spoži virs Rīgas.
En: The sun was shining brightly over Rīga.

Lv: Ivars sēdēja pie datora savā mazajā biroja telpā Rīgas Startup Inkubatorā.
En: Ivars sat at his computer in his small office space at the Rīga Startup Inkubator.

Lv: Apkārt bija daudzsološas jaunas sejas ar savām idejām.
En: Around him were many promising young faces with their ideas.

Lv: Viņi visi ticēja savam projektam, un arī Ivars tāds bija.
En: They all believed in their project, and Ivars was no different.

Lv: Bet šodien bija īpaša diena.
En: But today was a special day.

Lv: Viņam bija jāprezentē savs jauninājums potenciāliem investoriem.
En: He had to present his innovation to potential investors.

Lv: Tajā pašā laikā viņa māsa Emilija gaidīja Ivaru savā skolā.
En: At the same time, his sister Emilija was waiting for Ivars at her school.

Lv: Viņai bija liela uzstāšanās.
En: She had a big performance.

Lv: Viens acīmredzams jautājums Ivara galvā bija izvēle.
En: One obvious question in Ivars' mind was the choice: work or family.

Lv: Viņš jūtas vainīgs, jo sola Emilijai būt klāt, bet šī prezentācija varēja mainīt visu viņa dzīvi.
En: He felt guilty because he promised Emilija to be there, but this presentation could change his entire life.

Lv: Biroja durvis pēkšņi atvērās, un uz priekšu parādījās Katrīna.
En: The office door suddenly opened, and Katrīna appeared forward.

Lv: Viņa vienmēr bija šeit, gatava palīdzēt un sniegt padomu.
En: She was always there, ready to help and offer advice.

Lv: "Ivar, esi stiprs! Tu izdarīsi pareizo izvēli," viņa teica ar pārliecību balsī.
En: "Ivar, be strong! You will make the right choice," she said with confidence in her voice.

Lv: Viņa smaids vienmēr iedvesmoja Ivaru.
En: Her smile always inspired Ivars.

Lv: Bet šoreiz viņam bija jāsaprot pašam, kas ir pareizi.
En: But this time, he had to understand for himself what was right.

Lv: Nepārtraukti vērojot pulksteni, Ivars nolēma doties uz skolai, lai pavadītu laiku ar māsu.
En: Constantly watching the clock, Ivars decided to go to the school to spend time with his sister.

Lv: Viņš joprojām bija neskaidrs par sekām, bet ģimene vienmēr bija visaugstākajā vietā.
En: He was still unsure about the consequences, but family was always at the top.

Lv: Skolu uzņema Inturīgais tīksms.
En: The school welcomed with sincere warmth.

Lv: Skolēni jau bija ierindojušies rindā.
En: Students were already lined up in rows.

Lv: Emilija bija skaistā zilā kleitā, acis lielas un satrauktas.
En: Emilija was in a beautiful blue dress, her eyes wide and excited.

Lv: Ieraugot Ivaru, viņa seja iemirdzējās.
En: Upon seeing Ivars, her face lit up.

Lv: Kad viņa uzstāšanās bija beigusies, Ivars piegāja pie viņas un apskāva.
En: When her performance was over, Ivars approached her and hugged her.

Lv: "Es zināju, ka nāksi," viņa klusi čukstēja.
En: "I knew you would come," she whispered softly.

Lv: Tajā brīdī kāds viņu uzrunāja.
En: At that moment, someone approached them.

Lv: Blakus stāvēja cits vecāks, kuram bija interese par uzņēmējdarbību.
En: Next to them stood another parent who was interested in entrepreneurship.

Lv: "Vai jūs esat Ivars? Es esmu dzirdējis par jūsu projektu," viņš teica.
En: "Are you Ivars? I've...
