En: At Plasdy Caerdydd, on a fine summer's day, the medieval fair was in full swing. Cy: Llusernau lliwgar yn chwifio yn yr awel a sain y bobl yn galw allan mewn cyffro wrth i'r marchogion ymrafael ar gefn ceffylau. En: Colorful lanterns swayed in the breeze and the sound of people calling out in excitement as the knights jousted on horseback. Cy: Yn eu plith oedd Bronwen, marchog nabod am ei dewrder a'i synnwyr antur, a oedd yn gwneud ei ffordd tuag at y gystadleuaeth jwstio. En: Among them was Bronwen, a knight known for her courage and sense of adventure, making her way to the jousting competition. Cy: Gareth, y groesior ddawnus a ffyddiog, roedd wedi bod yn cydio ei galon oddi wrth Bronwen ers talwm. En: Gareth, the talented and confident squire, had been captivated by Bronwen for quite some time. Cy: O'r dydd cyntaf y gwelodd hi, teimlai fod goleuni arbennig yn ei hagwedd gref. En: From the first day he saw her, he felt there was a special light in her strong demeanor. Cy: Ond bron dim roedd Bronwen yn sylwi arno, ac roedd hyn yn nid llai na siomedig. En: Yet, Bronwen hardly noticed him, which was nothing short of disappointing. Cy: Roedd hi, wedi'i dreiddio i'r frwydr, yn ei gwerthfawrogi'n bennaf fel un arall o'r gwŷr oedd yn dorf o'i hamgylch yn y ffair. En: Immersed in the battle, she appreciated him primarily as just another of the men that surrounded her at the fair. Cy: Y diwrnod hwnnw, roedd Lwyn Ifan, Dydd Gŵyl Ddewi'r Cynhaeaf, ac roedd gan Gareth gynllun. En: That day was Lwyn Ifan, the Dydd Gŵyl Ddewi'r Cynhaeaf, and Gareth had a plan. Cy: Yn sicr y tro hwn roedd yn gobeithio ymuno â'i galon â galon Bronwen. En: This time, he hoped to unite his heart with Bronwen's. Cy: Wrth iddi baratoi, gollyngodd Gareth dipyn ar y pentan i gynnig llwyddiant iddi, ond roedd hi'n rhy frysiog i ystyried y ddymuniad. En: As she prepared, Gareth let a little charm drop in hopes of bringing her success, but she was too hurried to consider his gesture. Cy: Yn ystod y gystadleuaeth, brosodd Bronwen ar ei cheffyl ac syrthiodd i'r ddaear gyda symudiad cras. En: During the competition, Bronwen stumbled on her horse and fell to the ground with a harsh motion. Cy: Roedd y torfeydd yn grongian, ond Gareth oedd y cyntaf wrth ei hochr. En: The crowds gasped, but Gareth was the first by her side. Cy: Roedd Hi'n anadlu'n gaeth a chadrag yn ei choes. En: She was breathing heavily and had a bruise on her leg. Cy: Heb feddwl, daeth Gareth yn ei achubydd, ac roedd yn gwbl glir ei fod eisiau ei helpu. En: Without thinking, Gareth became her rescuer, and it was clear he wanted to help her. Cy: "Bronwen," meddai'n dawel tra'n cymryd gofal ei phla, "rydw i wedi hir aros i ddweud wrthyt. En: "Bronwen," he said quietly while attending to her injury, "I have long waited to tell you. Cy: Mae fy nghalon gyda chi erioed. En: My heart has always been with you." Cy: " Wrth iddo lapio ei chyflafin, gwenodd Bronwen, o'r diwedd yn diolch iddo am ei gefnogaeth. En: As he wrapped her wound, Bronwen smiled, finally thanking him for his support. Cy: Sylweddolodd nad oedd y rhuthr o fuddugoliaeth mor bwysig ag y feddwlodd ei bod. En: She realized that the rush of victory wasn't as important as she had thought. Cy: Er na allai hi barhau yn y gystadleuaeth, datblygodd bond newydd rhyngddynt, un wedi ei adeiladu ar barch a dealltwriaeth. En: Though she couldn't continue in the competition, a new bond developed between them, one built on respect and understanding. Cy: Bellach, edrychodd Bronwen at Gareth mewn golau newydd a gwerthfawrogodd ei ddylamain. En: Now, Bronwen looked at Gareth in a new light and appreciated his steadfastness. Cy: Gyda gwên braf, anadluodd Gareth yn ddwfn. En: With a broad smile, Gareth took a deep breath. Cy: Roedd wedi cyfnewid ei ofn am gariad, wedi cynilo ei gŵyn, a dysgodd Bronwen na fyddai angen iddi fod bob amser y cryfaf. En: He had traded his fear for love, had set aside his grievances, and Bronwen learned she didn't always need to be the strongest. Cy: Dangoswyd nad ryglynio ar y llwybr o herio yw popeth, gan nad oes angen bob amser ddigonedd o rym i lwyddo. En: It was shown that triumph doesn't always require an abundance of strength to succeed.
