Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh trí fhuinneoga móra na caifé i gCathair na Gaillimhe.
En: The sun was shining through the large windows of the café in Cathair na Gaillimhe.

Ga: Bhí boladh breá ar an gcaife úr a bhí á ghrú ag feadh an áirse na gcoillte.
En: There was a lovely smell of fresh coffee being brewed throughout the arch of the woods.

Ga: Mhothaigh Emer teasa an tsamhraidh agus chuala sí an cúlghuthán milis de chomhráite timpeall uirthi.
En: Emer felt the summer warmth and heard the sweet background murmur of conversations around her.

Ga: Bhí sí ag suí gar do fuinneog, ag roinnt tolg le Cathal, cara dílis.
En: She was sitting near the window, sharing a couch with Cathal, a loyal friend.

Ga: Bhí Lughnasa ar an bhféilire, agus mhothaigh sult na féile san aer.
En: Lughnasa was on the calendar, and the joy of the festival was in the air.

Ga: Ba ghnáthlá do Emer, ag obair gan stad, ag iarraidh dul chun cinn ina gairm phreasa.
En: It was an ordinary day for Emer, working tirelessly, striving to advance her career in journalism.

Ga: Ach láithreach, tháinig meadhrán uirthi, agus tháinig éagothroime ar a análú.
En: But suddenly, she felt dizzy, and her breathing became unsteady.

Ga: Cheap sí go mbeadh sé ceart go leor. "Tá mé ceart go leor, Cathal," a dúirt sí, agus í féin ag iarraidh a bheith suaimhneach.
En: She thought she would be okay. "I'm fine, Cathal," she said, trying to stay calm.

Ga: Bhí Cathal, a bhí ag obair mar bharista anseo le tamall, an-bhuartha.
En: Cathal, who had been working as a barista here for a while, was very worried.

Ga: Cé gur bhí a aisling féin aige — oscailt a chaifé — bhí sé an-bhuartha faoi Emer.
En: Even though he had his own dream — to open his own café — he was very concerned about Emer.

Ga: Dúirt sé go cúramach, "Emer, b'fhéidir gur chóir duit dul go dtí an dochtúir."
En: He carefully said, "Emer, maybe you should go to the doctor."

Ga: Níor theastaigh ó Emer aon ama a chur amú. "Níl an am agam," arsa sí go dithneasach.
En: Emer didn't want to waste any time. "I don't have time," she said impatiently.

Ga: Ach chonaic Cathal go raibh rud éigin amiss, agus fós ghoill air í a thabhairt chun ciall.
En: But Cathal could see something was amiss, and it troubled him to bring her to her senses.

Ga: Tar éis cúpla nóiméad eile, gan choinne, tháinig pioc i láthair na hoifige.
En: After a few more moments, unexpectedly, a faint spell occurred.

Ga: Thit Emer chun talamh agus scaoil an cupán caife léi ar an urlár.
En: Emer collapsed to the ground, dropping her coffee cup to the floor.

Ga: Bhí eagla ar sheomra na caifé go léirite, ach ghlaoigh Cathal ar sheirbhísigh éigeandála láithreach.
En: The café room was frightened, but Cathal immediately called emergency services.

Ga: Tá súil dola ag an ócáid seo, agus chomh luath agus a thug na freagróirí éigeandála Emer chun na hospidéil, tháinig a ciall ar ais.
En: This event took its toll, and as soon as the emergency responders brought Emer to the hospital, she regained her senses.

Ga: Thuig sí gur mhór an rud a raibh ag teacht; bhí sé in am aire níos fearr a thabhairt di féin.
En: She realized that something significant was happening; it was time to take better care of herself.

Ga: Nuair a thugtar go léir ceart, chuaigh Emer chun Cinn a Agallaimh ar lámh le Cathal, mar a bhí sé ag tús bainistíochta, ach...
