Cy: Roedd goleuni'r gwanwyn yn diffa wythnosau cyntaf y tymor newydd yn llywodraethu dros Gaerdydd.
En: The spring light was conquering the first weeks of the new season, ruling over Caerdydd.
Cy: O fewn siop de draddodiadol yn y ddinas, roedd Gethin a'i ffrind Aeron yn ymlacio dros eu tê prynhawn.
En: Inside a traditional tea shop in the city, Gethin and his friend Aeron were relaxing over their afternoon tea.
Cy: Roedd y siop yn gynnes ac yn gysurus, wedi'i haddurno â chofroddion Cymraeg vintage.
En: The shop was warm and cozy, adorned with vintage Welsh memorabilia.
Cy: Roedd arogl cryf o de heblaw am sŵn cleddyfau y cwpanau te yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: A strong aroma of tea accompanied by the sound of clinking teacups filled the air.
Cy: Wrth i Gethin, gyda'i natur chwilfrydig, godi cwpan i'w wefusau, sylwodd ar rywbeth anarferol ar y bwrdd.
En: As Gethin, with his curious nature, raised a cup to his lips, he noticed something unusual on the table.
Cy: Arogl tê onest ac yna, roedd yna – amlen anhysbys o flaen.
En: An honest scent of tea, and there it was – an anonymous envelope before him.
Cy: Roedd ei galon yn pwmpio'n gyflymach, gan mai ef oedd yn dwlu ar bosau a dirgelion.
En: His heart beat faster, as he loved puzzles and mysteries.
Cy: Daliodd y papur cain gyda llaw ofalus a'i agor yn lledlonydd.
En: He held the delicate paper with careful hand and opened it gently.
Cy: Yn y cyfamser, edrychodd Aeron yn ddifalch, gan ei fod yn amheus yn gylchlythyr.
En: Meanwhile, Aeron looked unimpressed, as he was dubious about newsletters.
Cy: "Dyma beth arall, Gethin," meddai, llais yn amheus.
En: "Just another thing, Gethin," he said, his voice skeptical.
Cy: Ond roedd Gethin wedi rhoi'r papur i'w law.
En: But Gethin had already given him the paper.
Cy: Trodd Aeron y llawysgrif a lyfu ei wefus.
En: Aeron turned the manuscript and licked his lips.
Cy: "Mae'n chwyrligwyn o fersiynau Cymraeg a chyfrinair," sylwodd.
En: "It's a whirlwind of Welsh versions and ciphers," he noted.
Cy: Roedd Carys, y barista gwyrdd, glou yn tacluso bwrdd cyfagos.
En: Carys, the green barista, was swiftly clearing a nearby table.
Cy: Anhygoel oedd pa mor olau oedd ei llygaid, ond golwg ydyw stayt skigg.
En: Her eyes were remarkably bright, but she had an enigmatic look.
Cy: Roedd llawer mwy o stori ganddi nag y mae pwysleisiodd i fyny gabaeth.
En: She had much more story than she emphasized from her outer demeanor.

En: She was quite pleased.
Cy: "Beth am hwn?
En: "What about this?"
Cy: " gofynnodd Gethin yn obeithiol.
En: asked Gethin hopefully.
Cy: Ond mesurol oedd ymateb Carys, ei llais yn amwys, "Traddodiad hen frawddegau yma.
En: But Carys' response was measured, her voice vague, "An old tradition of sentences here."
Cy: " Trodd y tri o honynt at ei gilydd, wynebau gol.
En: The three of them turned to each other, faces aglow.
Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwybod mwy, digon i arwain nhw ar daith amser, ond roedd hi'n dawel.
En: Carys knew more, enough to lead them on a time-traveling adventure, but she remained silent.
