Story Transcript:
Af: Die middagson het sag oor die kasteel se mure geval.
En: The afternoon sun gently fell over the castle walls.
Af: Bloeiende jasmyne het die lug met 'n soet geur gevul.
En: Blooming jasmines filled the air with a sweet fragrance.
Af: Johan het gespanne sy rugtigting aanpas en na die kaart van die Kasteel van Goeie Hoop gestaar.
En: Johan adjusted his tense posture and stared at the map of the Kasteel van Goeie Hoop.
Af: Sy vingers het oor die ou papier gegly, gefokus op die geheime wat die kasteel moontlik in sy steen ingewortel gehad het.
En: His fingers glided over the old paper, focused on the secrets the castle might have embedded in its stones.
Af: Annelie het met 'n lewenslustige lag nader gestap.
En: Annelie approached him with a lively laugh.
Af: "Johan, wat soek jy daar tussen al daardie ou maps?" Haar stem was altyd vrolik en wakker.
En: "Johan, what are you looking for among all those old maps?" Her voice was always cheerful and awake.
Af: Johan het opgek kyk, net om haar helder oë te ontmoet.
En: Johan looked up only to meet her bright eyes.
Af: Sy het 'n gidsbaadjie aangehad, vol penne en notas.

Af: Vir Johan was sy soos die vars briesie van die lente.
En: To Johan, she was like the fresh breeze of spring.
Af: "Ek soek na leidrade. Iets wat dalk 'n belangrike argeologiese ontdekking kan wees," het hy glimlaggend gesê, maar sy gedagtes was eintlik heeltemal op haar gefokus.

En: "Interesting. Maybe I can help. I know every stone and every story of this place," she joked.

En: The contrast between his intense focus and her spontaneous energy was palpable.
Af: Vir 'n oomblik het Johan bewus geword van sy ander uitdaging – sy groeiende gevoelens vir Annelie.
En: For a moment, Johan became aware of his other challenge – his growing feelings for Annelie.
Af: Sy het die antieke plek vir hom nuut gemaak.
En: She made the ancient place new for him.
Af: Dae het in weke verander.
En: Days turned into weeks.
Af: Hul dae saam bestee aan elke uithoek van die kasteel se binneplein was gevul met beide harde werk en hartlike lag.
En: Their days spent together in every corner of the castle's courtyard were filled with both hard work and hearty laughter.
Af: Met haar aan sy sy, het Johan onvermydelik die waarde van die gedeelde geskiedenis begin besef – üp waarde bo enige ontdekking.
En: With her by his side, Johan inevitably began to realize the value of shared history – a value beyond any discovery.
Af: Een helder lenteoggend, terwyl die voëls gesing het, het Johan Annelie oortuig om by 'n spesifieke uitgangsoort te grawe, 'n plek wat min aandag gekry het.
En: One bright spring morning, as the birds sang, Johan persuaded Annelie to dig at a specific exit point, a place that had received little attention.
