Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul disgleirio drwy'r ffenestri mawr, roedd y siop ysgol yn Llandovery yn llawn o fywyd.
En: As the sun shone through the large windows, the school shop in Llandovery was full of life.

Cy: Plant yn sgwrsio'n llawen, rhieni'n prysuro a silffoedd yn gorlifo â chyflenwadau oedd yn barod i ddechrau blwyddyn ysgol newydd.
En: Children chatting happily, parents hurrying, and shelves brimming with supplies ready to kick off a new school year.

Cy: Yno yn y canol oedd dwy ffrindiau, Eira a Rhys.
En: There in the center were two friends, Eira and Rhys.

Cy: Roedd Eira wedi mynd â rhestr hir o bethau y credai eu hangen.
En: Eira had brought along a long list of things she thought she needed.

Cy: Roedd bob amser yn teimlo'r angen i baratoi'n drwyadl.
En: She always felt the need to prepare thoroughly.

Cy: Ond wrth iddi orymdeithio i lawr yr eil, roedd Rhys, ei ffrind agwedd bwyllog, yn cerdded ochr yn ochr â hi, gwenu'n ddigyffro.
En: But as she marched down the aisle, Rhys, her relaxed-minded friend, walked alongside her, smiling unperturbedly.

Cy: "Dwi'n meddwl bod gen ti ddigon o bensiliau yna, Eira," meddai Rhys gyda chwink.
En: "I think you've got enough pencils there, Eira," said Rhys with a wink.

Cy: Ond, roedd Eira'n ansicr.
En: But Eira was uncertain.

Cy: Oherwydd ei phryder, roedd yn hoffi cael digon o bopeth rhag ofn i unrhyw brosiect newydd blodeuo.
En: Due to her anxiety, she liked to have plenty of everything just in case any new project blossomed.

Cy: "Rhys, be os oes angen mwy arna i?
En: "Rhys, what if I need more?

Cy: Mae'n well 'diogel na sori," atebodd Eira, a'i llais yn cynnwys tipyn o bryder.
En: Better safe than sorry," Eira replied, her voice tinged with a bit of worry.

Cy: "Wel wyt ti wir angen tair llyfr nodiadau?
En: "Do you really need three notebooks?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Rhys yn dispyr.
En: Rhys asked desperately.

Cy: "Mae'n ormod.
En: "It's too much.

Cy: Bydd hi'n iawn.
En: It'll be fine."

Cy: "Ond yn ei meddwl, roedd Eira'n dychmygu pob sefyllfa posibl lle gallai'r trydydd lyfr nodiadau fod yn hanfodol.
En: But in her mind, Eira imagined every possible scenario where the third notebook could be essential.

Cy: Y pwysau o wneud penderfyniad.
En: The pressure of making a decision.

Cy: Ar y til, gyda'r amser yn brin, roedd ganddynt lawer o eitemau yn y fasged.
En: At the till, with time running short, they had many items in the basket.

Cy: Rhys, gyda gwên fachog, cynghorodd hi'n weddol taer, "Rho'r llyfr nodiadau nol, Eira.
En: Rhys, with a sly smile, advised her rather firmly, "Put the notebook back, Eira."

Cy: "Ond roedd hi'n gwyltio'n mewnol, ei llais yn mynd yn isel, "Ond beth os nad oes gen i ddigon?
En: But she was internally flustered, her voice lowering, "But what if I don't have enough?"

Cy: "Canfu Eira olau o fewn ei meddwl.
En: Eira found light within her mind.

Cy: Hanner pryder, hanner gwylltineb, fe wnaeth gipio’r llyfr nodiadau ac oedi.
En: Half worry, half frustration, she grabbed the notebook and hesitated.

Cy: Roedd gwynto Rhys, ei balans, ei gysur ym mywyd.
En: Rhys's breath, his balance, his comfort in life.

Cy: Wrth osod y llyfr yn ôl ar y silff, roedd teimlad o ryddhad yn dyngu dros ei chorff.
En: Placing the notebook back on the shelf,...
