Story Transcript:

Af: Die lug was vol energie en die soete geur van vars koffie het deur die startup-inkubator gedryf.
En: The air was full of energy, and the sweet aroma of fresh coffee wafted through the startup incubator.

Af: Dit was lente, en nuwe idees het hier geblom soos die blomme buite.
En: It was spring, and new ideas were blooming here like the flowers outside.

Af: Johan, 'n jong en ambisieuse entrepreneur, het deur die kamertjie gestap.
En: Johan, a young and ambitious entrepreneur, walked through the small room.

Af: Sy droom was om sy tech-maatskappy ten volle van die grond af te kry.
En: His dream was to fully get his tech company off the ground.

Af: Vandag moes hy sy groot idee aan 'n groep potensiële beleggers voorstel.
En: Today, he had to pitch his big idea to a group of potential investors.

Af: Johan het sy plek agter die lessenaar ingeneem.
En: Johan took his place behind the desk.

Af: Die witborde was besaai met allerhande gekrabbelde idees en planne.
En: The whiteboards were covered with all sorts of scribbled ideas and plans.

Af: Om hom heen was ander entrepreneurs en ontwikkelaars wat aan hul eie drome gewerk het.
En: Around him were other entrepreneurs and developers working on their own dreams.

Af: Annelie, sy kollega, het hom 'n bemoedigende glimlag gegee.
En: Annelie, his colleague, gave him an encouraging smile.

Af: Sy was altyd daar om almal op te beur.
En: She was always there to lift everyone's spirits.

Af: Intussen het Ruan, Johan se vriend en mede-kreatiewe kollega, ongeorganiseerd soos altyd aan iets gewerk.
En: Meanwhile, Ruan, Johan's friend and creative colleague, disorganized as always, was working on something.

Af: Net soos Johan sy aanbieding wou begin, het daar skielik iets gebeur.
En: Just as Johan was about to start his presentation, something suddenly happened.

Af: Ruan het begin hoes en sy gesig het rooi geword.
En: Ruan began coughing, and his face turned red.

Af: Hy het ongemaklik gelyk.
En: He looked uncomfortable.

Af: Almal in die vertrek het hul aandag van Johan na Ruan verskuif.
En: Everyone in the room shifted their attention from Johan to Ruan.

Af: 'n Paar mense het begin mompel, onseker oor wat aan die gang was.
En: A few people started to murmur, unsure of what was going on.

Af: "Ruan?" het Annelie bekommerd gevra, en na sy kant toe gehardloop.
En: "Ruan?" Annelie asked worriedly, running to his side.

Af: "Het jy iets geëet?"
En: "Did you eat something?"

Af: "Ek weet nie ... dalk ... die neute?" het Ruan afgeknik en gekap.
En: "I don't know ... maybe ... the nuts?" Ruan nodded and croaked.

Af: Daar was 'n bak met neute op 'n tafel naby, vergete na hierdie soldragte saamkoms.
En: There was a bowl of nuts on a nearby table, forgotten after this long meeting.

Af: Johan het gevries.
En: Johan froze.

Af: Hier was sy kans om sukses te behaal, maar sy goeie vriend was dalk in die moeilikheid.
En: Here was his chance to achieve success, but his good friend was possibly in trouble.

Af: Hy het die kamer deurgekyk.
En: He scanned the room.

Af: Hy het geweet hy moes vinnig besluit.
En: He knew he had to make a quick decision.

Af: Die beleggers het na hom gekyk, afwagtend en met gevoude arms.
En: The investors were watching him, expectantly...
