Maija teica, skatoties uz stalto Gaujas ainavu.En: "Look how beautiful it is!" Maija exclaimed, gazing at the tall Gauja landscape.Lv: Viņa mudināja Kārlis uzkāpt uz kāda kalna nogabala.En: She urged Kārlis to climb a hill.Lv: Taču mākoņi draudēja debesīs, apsolot nākamos plūdus.En: But the clouds threatened in the sky, promising upcoming downpours.Lv: Ļoti nepiemērots laiks, domāja Kārlis, bet viņam nebija citas izvēles.En: Very inappropriate timing, Kārlis thought, but he had no other choice.Lv: "Vai mēs ejam augstāk?" Maija jautri uzsaucās, savijot pirkstus ar Kārlisa roku.En: "Shall we go higher?" Maija cheerfully called out, entwining her fingers with Kārlis'.Lv: Viņas prieks bija lipīgs, un Kārlis ar viņu piekrita.En: Her joy was contagious, and Kārlis agreed with her.Lv: Kāpšana sākās, un mežs pārklāja viņus ar savu dzīvīgo koku lapu vilni.En: The ascent began, and the forest covered them with its vibrant wave of tree leaves.Lv: Takas vijās caur maziem krūmiem un dažiem akmeņiem, vedot viņus uzkalnā.En: The path wound through small bushes and some rocks, leading them uphill.Lv: Kad viņi tuvējās skatu punktam, sauli apskāva mākoņi, bet tad tie atkal plīsa, ļaujot saules stariem izplesties pāri zemei.En: As they approached the viewpoint, the sun was enveloped by clouds, but then they parted again, allowing sunbeams to spread across the land.Lv: Kārlis, pavadīdam Maiju pie akmens, kuru viņi sauca par savu "īpašo vietu," dziļi elpoja.En: Kārlis, leading Maija to the rock they called their “special place,” took a deep breath.Lv: Šis bija viņa brīdis.En: This was his moment.Lv: Viņš steidzīgi pievilka gredzenu no kabatas.En: He hurriedly pulled the ring from his pocket.Lv: "Maija, es vēlos ..."En: "Maija, I want to..."Lv: Viņa jau zināja, viņas amazemē izplauka liels smaids.En: She already knew, her face blossomed into a big...
