Story Transcript:

Cy: Yng nghanol gaeaf, wrth i eira feddalu'r ddaear las, cerddodd Dylan yn ofalus tuag at Uned Seiciatrig Dyffryn Clydach.
En: In the middle of winter, as the snow softened the green earth, Dylan walked carefully toward the Uned Seiciatrig Dyffryn Clydach.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn pwlsio'n gyflym, dan bwysau'r teimladau o euogrwydd a'i ymdrech i ailgysylltu â'i chwaer, Ffion.
En: His heart was pulsing quickly, under the weight of feelings of guilt and his attempt to reconnect with his sister, Ffion.

Cy: Roedd yn fis Ionawr, ac roedd dewrder y flwyddyn newydd yn ysgogi newid.
En: It was January, and the courage of the new year was motivating change.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd y ward, croesawodd Gwyneth, nyrs lwyddiannus a chyfaill caredig i Dylan a Ffion, ef â gwên gynnes.
En: When he arrived at the ward, Gwyneth, a successful nurse and a kind friend to Dylan and Ffion, welcomed him with a warm smile.

Cy: "Sut mae, Dylan?" meddai Gwyneth.
En: "How are you, Dylan?" said Gwyneth.

Cy: "Rwy'n credu bod y diwrnod hwn yn gyflwr perffaith i chi a Ffion."
En: "I believe this day is a perfect opportunity for you and Ffion."

Cy: "Wel," meddai Dylan, ei lais yn anisgwyl o nerfus.
En: "Well," said Dylan, his voice unexpectedly nervous.

Cy: "Dw i am brynu anrheg. Rhywbeth arbennig ar gyfer y flwyddyn newydd..."
En: "I want to buy a gift. Something special for the new year..."

Cy: Gwyneth nodiodd yn bositif.
En: Gwyneth nodded positively.

Cy: "Yn wir? Mae 'na siop anrhegion bach islaw. Gad i mi helpu."
En: "Really? There's a little gift shop downstairs. Let me help."

Cy: Y siop anrhegion yn y ward oedd hudolus.
En: The gift shop in the ward was enchanting.

Cy: Cafodd ei oleuo gan ffilament aur a chandlysau bach oedd yn creu cynhesrwydd sydd yn ymdoddi i unrhyw galon.
En: It was lit by golden filament and small candles that created a warmth capable of melting any heart.

Cy: Roedd Dylan yn teimlo bod hyn yn fan lle gallai gwasanaethu achos ei hiraeth.
En: Dylan felt that this was a place where he could serve the cause of his longing.

Cy: "A allwch chi feddwl am rywbeth sydd yn gallu cefnogi Ffion?" gofynnodd Dylan, ei llais yn llawn gobaith ac ofn ar yr un pryd.
En: "Can you think of something to support Ffion?" asked Dylan, his voice filled with hope and fear at the same time.

Cy: Buodd Gwyneth yn myfyrio.
En: Gwyneth pondered.

Cy: "Cofia pan roedd Ffion yn caru ysgrifennu?
En: "Remember when Ffion loved to write?

Cy: Mae dyddiadur a phethau lliwgar yma.
En: There's a diary and colorful things here.

Cy: Gallai hynny fod yn berffaith, i annog ei mynegiant creadigol."
En: That might be perfect to encourage her creative expression."

Cy: Cytunodd Dylan, teimlad o lygedyn parch wedi ei adfywio yn ei lygaid.
En: Dylan agreed, a flicker of renewed respect in his eyes.

Cy: "Dyna'r un," meddai gyda sefydlogrwydd newydd.
En: "That's the one," he said with newfound stability.

Cy: Yna, cododd y dyddiadur a'r pennau sydd oedd yn amryliw fel dail lliwgar ar goeden bythwyrdd.
En: Then he picked up the diary and the pens that were as multicolored as the leaves on an evergreen tree.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn llawn hyder y byddai hyn yn anrheg ddelfrydol.
En: His heart was full of confidence that this would be an ideal gift.

Cy: Ar ôl talu, cychwynnodd yn ôl at Ffion, ei ysgwyddau wedi eu symud atoch ymlaen â hunan-bwysagdag.
En: After paying, he proceeded back to Ffion, his shoulders moved forward with self-assurance.

Cy: Pan gyflwynodd y rhodd i Ffion, llwyrodd ei llygaid â llawenydd a syndod.
En: When he presented the gift to Ffion, her eyes filled with joy and surprise.

Cy: "Mae hyn yn berffaith, Dylan!" gwaeddodd wrth iddo agor y pecyn yn ofalus.
En: "This is perfect, Dylan!" she exclaimed as she carefully opened the package.

Cy: "Mae'n galonogol," atebodd Dylan yn dawel, ei ddeffroad mewnol wedi cael ei lenwi.
En: "It's heartwarming," Dylan replied quietly, his internal awakening complete.

Cy: "Tyr'd, gad i ni ysgrifennu llythyron i'n gilydd trwy'r flwyddyn."
En: "Come on, let's write letters to each other throughout the year."

Cy: Wrth adael y patshiad, troes Dylan at Gwyneth.
En: As he left the ward, Dylan turned to Gwyneth.

Cy: "Diolch," meddai yn ddiolchgar.
En: "Thank you," he said gratefully.

Cy: Doedd hi ddim am y rhodd fawr, ond am yr amser, y sylw, a'r menyw sy'n gwneud iddynt deimlo'n cael eu gweld.
En: It wasn't just about the gift, but about the time, the attention, and the woman who made them feel seen.

Cy: Promisiodd Dylan i fod yn fwy presennol gyda'i chwaer.
En: Dylan promised to be more present with his sister.

Cy: Roedd wedi dysgu bod cariad yn maig a bod llawer o ffyrdd i ddangos cefnogaeth a dwyn perthynas i'w blanhigion.
En: He had learned that love is gentle and that there are many ways to show support and nurture relationships.

Cy: Roedd y flwyddyn newydd eisoes yn disgleirio'n fwy llachar drwy'r ffenestr.
En: The new year was already shining brighter through the window.
