Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag cur a solas óir ar an margadh i nGaillimh.
En: The sun was casting its golden light on the market in Gaillimh.

Ga: Bhí an fómhar tar éis titim anuas ar an gcathair, ag déanamh na duilleoga ar na crainn a bheith dearg agus buí.
En: Autumn had descended upon the city, turning the leaves on the trees red and yellow.

Ga: Ag an margadh, bhí Aisling agus Cian, beirt deartháireacha, ag siúl timpeall.
En: At the market, Aisling and Cian, a pair of siblings, were walking around.

Ga: Crochadh garlands brioscán os cionn na stallaí clúdaithe le spéaclaí airgeadacha agus milseáin séasúracha.
En: Garlands of crisps were hanging above the stalls covered with shimmering glasses and seasonal sweets.

Ga: Bhí Aisling ar a bealach chuig stalla a d'iompair boladh blasta ceapairí úra.
En: Aisling was on her way to a stall carrying the delicious aroma of fresh sandwiches.

Ga: Bhí imní uirthi le Cian.
En: She was worried about Cian.

Ga: Ní raibh sí sásta leis na mallaibh tar éis a raibh tarlaithe sa teaghlach ina dhiaidh.
En: She had not been happy with him lately after what had happened in the family.

Ga: Níor labhair siad le chéile roimhe seo go ciúin.
En: They hadn't spoken quietly with each other before.

Ga: Bhíodh barúil mhaith idir iad, ach roimh an díospóireacht mhór, chuaigh gach rud a mhilleadh.
En: They used to have a good opinion of each other, but before the big argument, everything went to ruin.

Ga: "Haigh, Cian," arsa Aisling le meangadh beag, ag súil go mbeidh an eochair eadrom ag bogadh rud beag é.
En: "Hi, Cian," said Aisling with a small smile, hoping the light tone would ease things a bit.

Ga: "Conas atá cúrsaí?
En: "How are things?"

Ga: "Bhí cuma coimeádach ar Cian.
En: Cian looked withdrawn.

Ga: "Táim ceart go leor, Aisling," a d'fhreagair sé, a shúile ag scanadh na timpeallachta, ag seachaint súile a dheirféar.
En: "I'm okay, Aisling," he replied, his eyes scanning the surroundings, avoiding his sister's eyes.

Ga: Bhí ionadh ar Aisling an teannas a bhí eatarthu a mhothú.
En: Aisling was surprised by the tension between them.

Ga: Ach bhí plean aici.
En: But she had a plan.

Ga: "Bhíos ag smaoineamh.
En: "I was thinking...

Ga: Tá sé ráithe bliantúil anois.
En: It's the annual quarter now.

Ga: Tá an teaghlach ag ullmhú don saoire, mar is gnách.
En: The family is preparing for the holiday, as usual.

Ga: Ba mhaith liom cuireadh a thabhairt duit teacht.
En: I'd like to invite you to come."

Ga: "D'fhéach Cian ina súl ar feadh nóiméid, ciúin gan focail.
En: Cian looked into her eyes for a moment, silent without words.

Ga: "Agus tar éis an díospóireacht sin, cad chuige?
En: "And after that argument, why?"

Ga: " arsa sé, rud beag cúthail.
En: he asked, a bit shy.

Ga: Tháinig na focail go mall ar Aisling.
En: The words came slowly to Aisling.

Ga: "B'fhéidir nár thuig mé cé chomh díomách a bhí tú.
En: "Maybe I didn't understand how disappointed you were.

Ga: Ach táimid uile ag iarraidh rudaí a dheisiú.
En: But we're all trying to fix things.

Ga: Is mothúchánach domsa gan tú a bheith ann.
En: It's emotional for me not to have you there."

Ga: "Bhí fearg le cruthú ar aghaidh Chian ach ansin thosaigh sé ag meath.
En: Anger appeared on Cia
