Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí séasúr an fhómhair i mbarr a réime i gcathair Bhaile Átha Cliath.
En: The autumn season was in full swing in the city of Baile Átha Cliath.
Ga: bhíidh dathanna buí is órga ag soilsiú sa spéir lasmuigh de Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide.
En: Golden and yellow hues were shining in the sky outside Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide.
Ga: Istigh sa leabharlann chiúin, bhíodh Aisling agus Niall ina suí ag tábla adhmaid, timpeallaithe ag na leabhair mhóra.
En: Inside the quiet library, Aisling and Niall sat at a wooden table, surrounded by large books.
Ga: Bhí staidéar ar siúl acu don scrúdú deiridh an téarma.
En: They were studying for the final exam of the term.
Ga: Bhí Aisling an-dírithe ar a cuid oibre.
En: Aisling was very focused on her work.
Ga: Bhí cloigeann Aisling beagáinín trom le hábhar an lae inniu.
En: Her head was a little heavy with the material of the day.
Ga: Mar sin féin, bhíodh an dinglis sin ina croí, ag fás níos mó gach lá.
En: Nonetheless, there was an emptiness growing in her heart, becoming bigger every day.
Ga: Níorbh aon phioc é an t-uaigneas a mhothaigh sí i ngar dá teaghlach.
En: The loneliness she felt being away from her family was significant.
Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh barr feabhais a chur ar a cuid scrúduithe ach bhí sí ag cailleadh an baile.
En: She wanted to excel in her exams, but she was missing home.
Ga: Bhí Niall suite ar thaobh eile an bhoird, ag scimeáil trí leabhar gan mórán stró.
En: Niall was seated on the other side of the table, skimming through books with little effort.
Ga: Bhí plean aige san aigne.
En: He had a plan in mind.
Ga: Plean a chuirfeadh gliondar ar Aisling agus a ghlanfadh tuirse as a súile.
En: A plan that would delight Aisling and wipe the fatigue from her eyes.
Ga: Bhí surprise á chur ag cócaireacht aige, éinne cliste go maith le rún a choimeád.
En: He was cooking up a surprise, clever enough to keep it a secret.
Ga: Thosaigh lá eile den staidéar.
En: Another day of study began.
Ga: Bhí Aisling fós dírithe, ag breathnú go géar ar na nótaí ar leathanach.
En: Aisling remained focused, intently looking at the notes on the page.
Ga: Go tobann, rinne sí scaoilte leis an tuirse.
En: Suddenly, she loosened up, letting go of the fatigue.
Ga: D'fhéach Niall uirthi agus faoi dheireadh thosaigh sé ag tabhairt faoi deara.
En: Niall noticed her and finally started realizing.
Ga: Caithfeadh a plean dul i bhfeidhm anois.
En: His plan had to come into effect now.
Ga: Thug sé taibhsín donn di, rud beag neamhghnách san áireamh.
En: He handed her a small brown paper, something a bit unusual included.
Ga: "Seo rud beag difriúil duit," a dúirt sé le aoibh.
En: "Here's something a little different for you," he said with a smile.
Ga: D'oscail Aisling an nóta a d’fhág Niall di.
En: Aisling opened the note Niall left for her.
Ga: "A Aisling," a léigh sí go ciúin.
En: "Dear Aisling," she read quietly.
Ga: "Tá surprise mhór agam duit.
En: "I have a big surprise for you.
Ga: Chuir mé turas abhaile in áireamh duit.
En: I've arranged a trip home for you.
Ga: Tá sé in am duit an gnáthamh a bhriseadh agus tamall a chaitheamh le do mhuintir.
En: It's time to break the routine and spend some time with your family."
Ga: "Bhí ionadh ar A
