Cy: Roedd haul haf yn tywynnu yn gryf, gan wneud i'r awyr ymchwyddo gyda'r gwres.
En: The summer sun was shining brightly, making the air shimmer with heat.
Cy: Roedd heol fawr y dref yn llawn pobl yn prynu nwyddau ar gyfer dychwelyd i'r ysgol.
En: The main street of the town was full of people buying goods for the return to school.
Cy: Siopau'n brysur, gweithwyr yn rhedeg ar hyd y lle, a Gareth yn sefyll o flaen gorsaf heddlu.
En: Shops were busy, workers running around, and Gareth was standing in front of the police station.
Cy: Gareth oedd athro trefnus iawn.
En: Gareth was a very organized teacher.
Cy: Roedd pob term ysgol wedi’i drefnu'n fanwl i’r eithaf.
En: Every school term was arranged in meticulous detail.
Cy: Ond heddiw, roedd dan straen.
En: But today, he was stressed.
Cy: Roedd wedi colli ei gyfrifiadur gliniadur gwerthfawr, ac roedd hynny’n cynnwys ei gynlluniau gwersi hanfodol.
En: He had lost his valuable laptop, and it contained his essential lesson plans.
Cy: Gyda'r nosweithiau ysgol yn agosáu, roedd Gareth yn bryderus nad oedd popeth yn ei le perffaith.
En: With the school nights approaching, Gareth was anxious that not everything was in its perfect place.
Cy: Yn y gorsaf heddlu, roedd pobl yn riportio pethau bach, colledion fel teledu a beiciau.
En: At the police station, people were reporting small things, losses like TVs and bikes.
Cy: Gwnaeth Gareth ei ffordd at y dderbynfa.
En: Gareth made his way to the reception.
Cy: “Rydw i wedi colli fy nghyfrifiadur gliniadur,” meddai wrth yr heddwas, Carys, sy’n eistedd y tu ôl i'r cownter.
En: "I've lost my laptop," he said to the police officer, Carys, who was sitting behind the counter.
Cy: “Mae popeth gen i arno.
En: "Everything I have is on it."
Cy: ”“Rydyn ni'n brysur iawn heddiw,” meddai Carys, “ond byddwn ni’n gwneud ein gorau i'ch helpu chi.
En: "We're very busy today," said Carys, "but we'll do our best to help you."
Cy: ”Rhwng aros am i Carys gymryd ei fanylion, dechreuodd Gareth feddwl o ddifrif.
En: While waiting for Carys to take his details, Gareth started to think seriously.
Cy: Roedd angen iddo gymryd pethau yn ei ddwylo ei hun.
En: He needed to take matters into his own hands.
Cy: Roedd yn cofio bod wedi stopio am baned mewn caffi ar ddiwrnod prynu.
En: He remembered stopping for a cup of tea in a café on a shopping day.
Cy: “Wna i fynd ar fy ôl,” meddai'n sydyn wrth Carys, yn diweddgar o'i chais am gymorth.
En: "I'll retrace my steps," he said suddenly to Carys, politely declining her offer of help.
Cy: Crysau a phinc yn hwylio wrth redeg allan o'r orsaf.
En: Shirts and pinks billowed as he ran out of the station.
Cy: Cyrhaeddodd Gareth y caffi, a'r galon bron yn ei ngwddf.
En: Gareth reached the café, his heart almost in his throat.
Cy: Siaradodd â'r gweithwraig, a chwilio dan y byrddau.
En: He spoke to the worker and searched under the tables.
Cy: Ac yno roedd e!
En: And there it was!
Cy: Ei gyfrifiadur gliniadur yn dal i fod ar sedd lledwag.
En: His laptop was still on a vacant seat.
Cy: Cododd e gyflym, ac ochodd yn gysur.
En: He picked it up quickly and sighed in relief.
Cy: Roedd y rhuthr a'r stres wedi dod i ben.
En: The rush and the stress had ended.
Cy: Yn ôl i’r orsaf, aeth Gareth,...
