En: The winds from the sea blow through the golden trees of Aberystwyth in October. Cy: Mae’r myfyrwyr yn symud rhwng darlithoedd, gyda choblyn o brysurdeb. En: The students move between lectures with all sorts of busyness. Cy: Wrth ochr y Llyfrgell Hafren, eisteddai Rhys ar fainc gyda llyfrau piled uchel o’i gwmpas. En: Beside the "Llyfrgell Hafren", Rhys sat on a bench with books piled high around him. Cy: Roedd ei lygad yn methu ffocysu, ei ben yn orlawn o syniadau a theorïau am fioleg môr. En: His eyes couldn’t focus, his head was overflowing with ideas and theories about marine biology. Cy: Pan ddaw Carys i weld Rhys, gwenodd hi’n eang. En: When Carys came to see Rhys, she smiled broadly. Cy: "Rhys," meddai Carys gyda’i llais melys, "beth am fynd am dro?" En: "Rhys," said Carys with her sweet voice, "how about going for a walk?" Cy: "Dim amser, Carys," atebodd Rhys yn frwnt, llygaid wedi’u plygu ar y tudalen. En: "No time, Carys," answered Rhys brusquely, his eyes glued to the page. Cy: Ond roedd Carys, wastad yn ffrind diymatal, yn gwybod ei fod yn gwrthod yr union beth oedd ei angen arno. En: But Carys, always the persistent friend, knew he was refusing exactly what he needed. Cy: Yr oedd nerfusrwydd Rhys wedi cynyddu hyd at bwynt lle roedd fel pe bai cyfrifiadur yn gor-lwytho. En: Rhys's nervousness had increased to the point where he seemed like a computer overloaded. Cy: "Heia, bydd taf ar dy draed ar dy orau ar gyfer y prawf yfory," meddai hi. En: "Hey, you’ll be on your feet at your best for tomorrow’s test," she said. Cy: Roedd gan Carys ffordd arbennig o dawelu Rhys, trwy ei hatgoffa bod bywyd yn fwy na dim ond gwaith caled. En: Carys had a special way of calming Rhys by reminding him that life is more than just hard work. Cy: Roedd yr haul mewn gwe, goleuo’r môr yn nenllad ac yn gwneud i’r ton nau castellau o donnau ar y glan, lle pyrrolfon Carys. En: The sun was in a web, lighting up the sea in the evening and creating waves like castles on the shore, where Carys pirouetted. Cy: "Ond mae’r prawf..." dechreuodd Rhys, ond wnaeth dimrhy ddim yn gorffen y frawddeg, gan wybod mewnol nad oedd yn gallu parhau yn hyn. En: "But the test..." started Rhys, but he didn’t finish the sentence, internally knowing he couldn’t continue like this. Cy: Roedd ei feddwl yn gwagedd. Fe gafodd Carys y gwynt wrth ragoriaeth yn ei ddiffodd e. En: His mind was blank. Carys had excellently extinguished his worries. Cy: Y noson hon, crwydrodd hwy ar hyd y prom drwy drefgan. En: That night, they wandered along the promenade through town. Cy: Teimlodd Rhys y llif o aer ffres, y swn sâl drosfa cerdded ar y cerrig, a'r hymdeimad pured o’r tymor. En: Rhys felt the rush of fresh air, the sound of shuffling feet on the stones, and the pure sensation of the season. Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded, cwymodd Rhys mewn i sgwrs hamdden i ffwrdd o bwysau ei astudiaethau, ac yn araf, teimlodd yr egni’n dychwelyd iddo. En: As they walked, Rhys fell into an easy conversation, away from the pressures of his studies, and slowly felt his energy return. Cy: Wedi cerdded, dychwelodd Rhys adref yn teimlo’n hollol wahanol. En: After walking, Rhys returned home feeling completely different. Cy: Gwnaeth incwm awyr agored a gebinsation...
