Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i dydd dewraf dydd dau ar fin Pasg yn barod, roedd swyn y gwanwyn yn dawnsio trwy'r ffenestri gwydrog uchel y swyddfa gorfforaethol yng Nghaerdydd.
En: As the second ghost of Easter approached, the charm of spring danced through the high glass windows of the corporate office in Caerdydd.

Cy: Mae'r cornel sydyn o ddesg Mared, yr unig broject manager ymhlith nifer o drefnwyr ifanc, wedi'i orchuddio â phapurau wedi'u llanw â darluniau a chynlluniau gweithredol.
En: The sharp corner of Mared's desk, the only project manager among several young coordinators, was covered with papers filled with sketches and tactical plans.

Cy: Roedd amser yn fry arni, gyda phrosiect newydd bryfoclyd agos at anadlu ei un o'i diwrnod gwaith.
En: Time was pressing on her, with a tantalizing new project near to breathing down on her workday.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod bod rhaid i bopeth fynd yn iawn gyda'r prosiect hwn; i brofi ei gwerth o flaen Gethin, y tîm arweinydd newydd a oedd yn uchelgeisiol ac yn llawn awydd syfrdanu'r uwch reolwyr.
En: She knew that everything had to go right with this project; to prove her worth in front of Gethin, the ambitious new team leader eager to impress senior management.

Cy: Ond nid oedd pethau mor syml.
En: But things weren't that simple.

Cy: Roedd bywyd Mared fel mam sengl yn cyflwyno heriau bob dydd, a'i ferch, Seren, oedd yn rhan fawr ohoni.
En: Life for Mared as a single mother posed daily challenges, and her daughter, Seren, was a big part of them.

Cy: Yn ddiweddar, roedd Seren wedi bod yn achosi trafferth yn yr ysgol ac roedd pryder o amgylch ei hymddygiad.
En: Recently, Seren had been causing trouble at school and there was concern surrounding her behavior.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn pwyso’n drwm ar feddwl Mared, ond roedd rhaid iddi gario ymlaen, heb ddangos ei hofnid lle clywir cliwordd yn rhwygo rhwng powdr iawn y swyddfa.
En: This weighed heavily on Mared's mind, but she had to carry on, without showing her fears where whispers could tear apart in the fine powder of the office.

Cy: Yn sydyn, yn lletchwith yn ei chroth, roedd ffôn symudol Mared yn siglo.
En: Suddenly, awkwardly in her lap, Mared's mobile phone vibrated.

Cy: Neidiodd cath ei chalon wrth weld enw ysgol Seren ymddangos ar y sgrîn.
En: Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Seren's school name appear on the screen.

Cy: Galw cynhadledd ysgol amyw.
En: Another school conference call.

Cy: Her arall.
En: Another challenge.

Cy: "Rhaid i mi fynd," meddai hithau wrthi ei hun, er y pwysau enfawr ar ei mgael i gyflawni'r prosiect.
En: "I have to go," she told herself, despite the enormous pressure to complete the project.

Cy: Aeth y diwrnod wrth i Mared geisio gwneud y llai o oriau'r dydd.
En: The day progressed as Mared tried to make the most of the hours available.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn gloc adloniant ansad wrth anog y tîm i ddyfalbarhau.
En: Gethin was an unstable source of motivation, encouraging the team to persevere.

Cy: Yr anghywirdeb, y clirio parhaus.
En: The chaos, the constant clearing.

Cy: Serch hynny, roedd Mared yn gwybod bod y galw yn yr ysgol yn bwysicach.
En: Nonetheless, Mared knew that the school call was more important.

Cy: Roedd rhaid gwneud dewis.
En: A choice had to be made.

Cy: Gadawodd Mared y swyddfa a chymryd y car i gyfarfod ysgol.
En: Mared left the office and took the car to the school meeting.

Cy: Ei merch gysgodol a oedd wrthi'n ddagreuol â'i haddysg.
En: Her shadowy daughter was tearful with her education.

Cy: Eglurodd y pennaeth fod Seren yn llai canolbwyntio yn ddiweddar; roedd yn bryderus, yn effro i ofynion rhois Mared.
En: The headteacher explained that Seren was less focused lately; she was worried, strained by Mared's demands.

Cy: Roedd Mared yn ingwrth sylweddoli mai prin iawn oedd ei chyflwyno yn bwysicach.
En: Mared painfully realized that her presence was scarcely as important.

Cy: Wedi siarad â Seren, deallodd Mared mai gyda'i merch y gallai gynnig pob mwy o undod.
En: After talking to Seren, Mared understood that it was with her daughter she could offer the most unity.

Cy: Felly, penderfynodd wneud gwell am rannu ei gwaith.
En: So, she decided to improve her work-sharing.

Cy: Fe ddysiodd hi'r hyn oedd gwir bwysig.
En: She learned what was truly important.

Cy: Wedi dychwelyd i'r swyddfa, trefnodd i ailbenodi dyletswyddau.
En: Upon returning to the office, she organized duties again.

Cy: Gofynnodd Mared am gefnogaeth ei thîm.
En: Mared asked for her team’s support.

Cy: Profodd hi bod hyblygedd mewn cydweithredu yn allweddol; nid oedd angen gwneud bob dygymod ben ei phen ei hun.
En: She proved that flexibility in collaboration was key; it wasn't necessary to handle everything on her own.

Cy: Gwelodd fod gwerth ym hybu eraill i gymryd cyfrifoldeb.
En: She saw the value in empowering others to take responsibility.

Cy: Yn y pen draw, roedd y prosiect yn llwyddiant ac yn ei ddwylo bydd Seren yn fwy cyflawn; fel wrth gyrraedd cartref yn hwyr ar ol ffinis y diwrnod oedd yn dweud nid busnes yw popeth, ond cyd-bwysedd cywir.
En: Eventually, the project was successful, and with Seren, she would be more complete; as when arriving home late after the end of the day, it was about saying that business is not everything, but rather the correct balance.

Cy: Roedd Gethin yn falch o'i thir 'na – arweinyddiaeth wresog a oedd yn teimlo'n bron trwyadl rhedegu fel cynhesrwydd dydd gwanwyn.
En: Gethin was pleased with her work - warm leadership that felt nearly thorough, running like the warmth of a spring day.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn ei le; nid yn swyddfa dim ond, ond hefyd yn y galon.
En: Everything was in its place; not only in the office but also in the heart.
