Tallinnas, kus sügisvärvilised puud peegeldusid kontorihoonete akendelt, seisis Maarja kohvimasina kõrval.

In Tallinn, where the autumn-colored trees were reflected in the office building windows, Maarja stood next to the coffee machine.

Kohvipaus oli tema päevadele väikese rahuhetke pakkumine.

The coffee break offered her a small moment of peace in her days.

Ta tundis end tihti üksildasena, kuigi oli tööl edukas.

She often felt lonely, even though she was successful at work.

Talle meeldis vaadata linnamelu akna kaudu, meenutades, et elu ei olnud ainult töö.

She enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the city through the window, reminding herself that life wasn't just about work.

Uks avanes ja sisse astus Toomas.

The door opened, and in walked Toomas.

Uus kolleeg, kes oli hiljuti linnast Pärnust Tallinnasse kolinud.

A new colleague, who had recently moved to the city from Pärnu to Tallinn.

Ta oli vaikne ja vaoshoitud, kuid temas oli midagi, mis tõmbas Maarjat ligi.

He was quiet and reserved, but there was something about him that attracted Maarja.

Toomas tervitas Maarjat kerge naeratusega ja asus kohvi tegema.

Toomas greeted Maarja with a slight smile and started making coffee.

Maarja tundis, et see oli tema võimalus.

Maarja felt that this was her chance.

„Hei, Toomas,“ alustas Maarja.

"Hey, Toomas," Maarja began.

„Kuidas sa Tallinnas oled kohanenud?

"How have you settled in Tallinn?"

“ Ta lootis, et lihtne küsimus võiks avada vestlust rohkemaks.

She hoped that a simple question might open up the conversation for more.

Toomas vaatas teda tänulikult.

Toomas looked at her gratefully.

„Aeglaselt, aga kindlasti.

"Slowly but surely.

Linn on uus ja põnev, aga vahel tunnen end ka üksikuna,“ tunnistas ta ausalt, silmitsi Maarja õrna uudishimuga.

The city is new and exciting, but sometimes I also feel lonely," he admitted honestly, facing Maarja's gentle curiosity.

Samal ajal, kui nad juttu ajasid, astus ruumi Kalev, kolleeg, kes suutis alati teisi naerma ajada.

While they were chatting, Kalev, a colleague who could always make others laugh, entered the room.

„Hei, sa peaksid meie laupäevasele tiimiõhtule tulema, Toomas!

"Hey, you should come to our team night on Saturday, Toomas!

Maarja, sa ka.

Maarja, you too.

See on hea võimalus üksteist tundma õppida,“ pakkus Kalev laialt naeratades.

It's a great opportunity to get to know each other better," Kalev offered with a broad smile.

Maarja mõtles hetkeks ja siis nõustus.

Maarja thought for a moment and then agreed.

Ta teadis, et tööl oli tema sotsiaalne elu piiratud ja see võiks olla hea võimalus.

She knew that her social life at work was limited, and this could be a good opportunity.

Laupäeval kogunesid kõik ühte hubasesse lokaali, kus oli kaunistusteks sügisesed kõrvitsad ja lehed.

On Saturday, everyone gathered in a cozy pub, decorated with autumn pumpkins and leaves.

Maarja, natuke närvis, aga põnevil, leidis, et Toomas istus juba vaikselt nurgas.

Maarja, a bit nervous but excited, found that Toomas was already sitting quietly in a corner.

Ta istus tema kõrvale ja alustas vestlust.

She sat next to him and started the conversation.

„Ma olen mõelnud, et Tallinnas on veel nii palju avastada.

"I've been thinking, there's so much more to explore in Tallinn.

Miks mitte koos seda teha?

Why not do it together?"

“ pakkus Maarja veidi kõheldes.

Maarja suggested hesitantly.

Toomas naeratas.

Toomas smiled.

„See kõlab hästi.

"That sounds great.

Olen tänulik, et pakkusid lõunaid ja jalutuskäike.

I appreciate you offering lunches and walks.

Ma loodan, et saame paremini tuttavaks.

I hope we can get to know each other better."

“Nende jutu lõppedes tundsid mõlemad, et nad olid leidnud midagi väärtuslikku.

By the end of their conversation, both felt they had found something valuable.

Vestlused muutusid sügavamaks ja avameelsemaks.

Their conversations became deeper and more open.

Paar nädalat hiljem, kui sügis muutus üha külmemaks, leiti Maarjat ja Toomast tihti koos jalutamas Kadrioru pargis või istumas Tallinna kohvikutes.

A couple of weeks later, as autumn became increasingly colder, Maarja and Toomas were often found walking together in Kadriorg park or sitting in cafes in Tallinn.

Nende suhe oli muutunud tugevamaks ja tähenduslikumaks.

Their relationship had become stronger and more meaningful.

Maarja oli õppinud leidma tasakaalu töö ja isikliku elu vahel.

Maarja had learned to find balance between work and personal life.

Ta hakkas rohkem suhtlema.

She started to socialize more.

Toomas, aga, tundis end rohkem kodus Tallinnas, olles leidnud kellegi, kellega jagada oma elu ja rännakuid.

Toomas, on the other hand, felt more at home in Tallinn, having found someone to share his life and journeys with.

Nad avastasid koos linna ja samal ajal iseendid.

They explored the city together and, at the same time, themselves.

Kõik algas ühest lihtsast kohvipausist.

It all started with a simple coffee break.
