Alutaguse rahvuspark ärkas kevadel ellu.

Alutaguse National Park came alive in the spring.

Puud haljendasid ja linnulaul täitis õhku.

The trees were greening, and birdsong filled the air.

Ain kõndis metsateel, püüdes leida rahu oma rahutust südames.

Ain walked along the forest path, trying to find peace for his restless heart.

Viimased kuud olid olnud keerulised.

The past few months had been complicated.

Suhe oli katkenud ja hing polnud leidnud uut tasakaalu.

A relationship had ended, and his soul had not found a new balance.

Ain seadis endale eesmärgiks matkata Alutaguse vahekäikudest läbi.

Ain set himself the goal of hiking through the Alutaguse corridors.

Tee oli pikk ja käänuline, kuid ta tahtis seda väljakutset.

The path was long and winding, but he wanted the challenge.

Metsa rahu ja ilu, kevadine paitus, andsid talle jõudu edasi minna.

The peace and beauty of the forest, the caress of spring, gave him strength to continue.

Samal ajal kerisid mõtted tema peas edasi-tagasi nagu tuuled puude latvades.

Meanwhile, thoughts swirled in his head back and forth like winds in the treetops.

Keset kõige rahulikumat hetke libises Ain järsku niiskele juurenõule.

In the midst of the most tranquil moment, Ain suddenly slipped on a wet root.

Ta kummardus oma valusale pahkluule ja oigas pinevalt.

He bent down to his aching ankle and groaned tensely.

"Ei," sosistas ta endale.

"No," he whispered to himself.

Ta oli kilomeetrite kaugusel abist ja pimedus hakkas tasapisi maad võtma.

He was miles away from help, and darkness was gradually taking over.

Ta pöördus tagasi, kuid iga samm oli vaevaline.

He turned back, but every step was laborious.

Peagi oli selge, et ta ei suuda kõndida.

It soon became clear he couldn't walk.

Istudes maha, hing õhus värisedes, mõtles Ain, et võib-olla peab ta jääma siia ööseks, külm külmetamas looduses.

Sitting down, his breath trembling in the air, Ain thought he might have to stay here overnight, cold in the chill of nature.

Kuid siis kuulis ta tuttavaid hääli eemalt.

But then he heard familiar voices from afar.

Läbi rohelise metsa tulid Kadri ja Maia.

Through the green forest came Kadri and Maia.

Nende rõõmsad kõnelused murrutasid metsavaikuse.

Their cheerful conversations broke the forest silence.

Ain vilistas nendest märku andmaks.

Ain whistled to signal them.

Nad kiirustasid tema poole.

They hurried toward him.

"Mis juhtus?"

"What happened?"

küsis Kadri, kui nad jõudsid Aini juurde.

asked Kadri when they reached Ain.

"Pöörasin pahkluu," ütles Ain vaikselt.

"I twisted my ankle," Ain said quietly.

"Ma arvan, et ei saa üksi kuskile."

"I don't think I can go anywhere on my own."

"Ära muretse, me aitame sind," ütles Maia kindlalt.

"Don't worry, we'll help you," Maia said confidently.

Mõlemad naised toetasid Ainil tõusta.

Both women supported Ain to stand up.

Koos hakkasid nad aeglaselt metsaääre poole liikuma.

Together they began moving slowly toward the edge of the forest.

Kadri ja Maia toetasid Ainil mitte ainult füüsiliselt, vaid nad tõid ka sooja ja julgustavat naeru tema südamesse.

Kadri and Maia supported Ain not just physically, but they also brought warmth and encouraging laughter to his heart.

Nad rääkisid lugusid ja peletasid tema muresid.

They told stories and dispelled his worries.

Koos tagasi tsivilisatsiooni jõudes, mõistis Ain esimest korda, kui oluline on teiste toetus.

Upon reaching civilization together, Ain realized for the first time how important the support of others is.

Üksi olemine polnud tugevus.

Being alone was not strength.

See oli läbivus, kui julged abi küsida ja toetuda.

It was resilience when you dared to ask for help and lean on others.

Nad saatsid Aini autoni ja leppisid kokku, et kohtuvad jälle peagi – ehk veel üheks matkaks, kuid seekord koos.

They saw Ain to his car and agreed to meet again soon—perhaps for another hike, but this time together.

Alutaguse rohelus muutus uueks alguseks.

The greenery of Alutaguse became a new beginning.

Puude kohin jäi talle meelde kui sõpruse ja toetuse sümbol.

The whispering of trees remained with him as a symbol of friendship and support.

Ja nii lõpetas Ain päeva, süda kergem, jalga küll väsinud, kuid peaga täis jõudu ja selgust, mida ta oli tulnud otsima.

And so Ain ended the day, heart lighter, leg certainly tired, but mind full of strength and clarity he had come seeking.
