Rīgas Bērnu Nams bija liels un senatnīgs.

The Riga Children's Home was large and ancient.

Tajā bija plati gaiteņi, kuros atbalsojās bērnu smiekli un saucieni.

It had wide corridors where children's laughter and shouts echoed.

Ārā, rudens gaisā, koku lapas mainīja krāsas uz mirdzoši oranžu un sarkanu.

Outside, in the autumn air, the leaves on the trees changed to a brilliant orange and red.

Katrīnai un Emīlam šī vieta bija kļuvusi par mājām.

For Katrīna and Emīls, this place had become home.

Emīls pavadīja māsai laiku ikdienas gaitās.

Emīls spent time with his sister during her daily activities.

Katrīnai bija jādodas uz fizioterapiju.

Katrīna had to attend physiotherapy.

Pēc operācijas viņa taču gribēja atgūt savu agrāko spēku.

After her surgery, she wanted to regain her former strength.

Bet viss nenotika tik ātri, kā viņa cerēja.

But everything wasn't happening as quickly as she had hoped.

Katrīna arvien vairāk pagura un sāka zaudēt ticību savam spēkam.

Katrīna grew more weary and began to lose faith in her own strength.

Emīls juta, kā viņas cerības izgaist pie katra soļa.

Emīls sensed her hopes fading with every step.

"Katrīna, vai tu saproti, cik tu esi stipra?

"Katrīna, do you realize how strong you are?"

" Emīls jautāja vienā rītā, kad viņi devās uz fizioterapijas nodarbībām.

Emīls asked one morning as they headed to a physiotherapy session.

"Es jūtos nogurusi, Emīl," Katrīna atbildēja, viegli satricinot galvu, "man vairs nav spēka.

"I'm tired, Emīls," Katrīna replied, slightly shaking her head, "I don't have any strength left."

"Viņa klusām piebilda, "Vai es kādreiz atkal būšu tāda pati?

She quietly added, "Will I ever be the same again?"

"Emīls dziļi ieelpoja.

Emīls took a deep breath.

Viņš zināja, ka ir kaut kas, ko viņam jāatklāj savai māsai.

He knew there was something he needed to reveal to his sister.

"Es baidos, Katrīna.

"I'm afraid, Katrīna.

Es baidos par to, kas notiks, kad tu kļūsi stipra.

I'm afraid of what will happen when you become strong.

Es baidos zaudēt tevi, ja tevi adoptēs.

I'm scared of losing you if you're adopted."

"Katrīna uz mirkli apstājās.

Katrīna paused for a moment.

Viņa saprata Emīla bailes.

She understood Emīls's fears.

"Bet es nevaru padoties," viņa teica, "ne jau tikai tev dēļ.

"But I can't give up," she said, "not just for you.

Man jāmēģina savas veselības dēļ.

I have to try for my own health."

"Tās dienas fizioterapijas nodarbība bija grūta.

That day's physiotherapy session was tough.

Katrīnai bija jāizmēģina jauns vingrinājums, kas prasīja visu viņas spēku.

Katrīna had to try a new exercise that required all her strength.

Emīls atradās blakus.

Emīls was by her side.

Viņa acīs bija tikai ticība un atbalsts.

His eyes reflected only faith and support.

"Piedalies kopā ar mani?

"Will you join me?"

" Katrīna pagrieza galvu pret viņu, acīs atspoguļojās cerība.

Katrīna turned her head towards him, hope shining in her eyes.

Emīls piekrita.

Emīls agreed.

Viņi darīja vingrinājumu kopā.

They did the exercise together.

Katrīna pūlējās un sviedri viņai ritēja no pieres.

Katrīna struggled, sweat dripping from her forehead.

Bet viņa neatkāpās.

But she didn't back down.

Beidzot, ar Emīla atbalstu, viņa veiksmīgi pabeidza vingrinājumu.

Finally, with Emīls's support, she successfully completed the exercise.

Tas bija triumfs.

It was a triumph.

Kaut kas mainījās iekšienē.

Something changed within her.

Katrīna sajuta jaunu pārliecību.

Katrīna felt a new confidence.

"Es to izdarīju!

"I did it!"

" viņa iesaucās priecīgi, un Emīls smaidīja no visas sirds.

she exclaimed joyfully, and Emīls smiled wholeheartedly.

Rudens gaisma izgaismoja Katrīnas seju, un viņa sajuta, ka ir sākusi jaunu dzīvi.

The autumn light illuminated Katrīna's face, and she felt like she was beginning a new life.

Emīls sevī sajuta mieru.

Emīls felt a sense of peace within himself.

Kaut arī nākotne bija neskaidra, viņš zināja, ka viņi spēs pārvarēt visas grūtības kopā.

Although the future was uncertain, he knew they could overcome any challenges together.

Viņi abi tagad saprata, ka cits citu nekad nezaudēs.

They both now understood that they would never lose each other.

Lai arī kādi būtu izaicinājumi nākotnē, Katrīna un Emīls varēja paļauties uz savu mīlestību un draudzību.

No matter what challenges lay ahead, Katrīna and Emīls could rely on their love and friendship.

Viņi bija stiprāki nekā jebkad agrāk.

They were stronger than ever before.
