  • Bhí an lá feannóigeach, le gaoith úr ag séideadh na nduilleog buí agus rua timpeall i gcathair na Gaillimhe.

    The day was crisp, with a fresh wind blowing the yellow and russet leaves around in the city of Gaillimh.

  • Bhí fhios ag Aoife go mbeadh sé deacair an teaghlach ar fad a thabhairt le chéile, ach bhí sé riachtanach.

    Aoife knew it would be difficult to gather the whole family together, but it was necessary.

  • Bhí an teach tábhairne an-chaomh acu, le seanfhurniture adhmaid agus teallach a thug teas agus compord do chuairteoirí na háite.

    They had a very cherished pub, with old wooden furniture and a fireplace that brought warmth and comfort to visitors.

  • Bhí Aoife suite faoin tuath aige, ag imscrúdú a dearbhán, ag glacadh anála fhad le boladh bia baile ag líonadh an tseomra.

    Aoife was sitting in the countryside, examining her voucher, taking a breath as the scent of home-cooked food filled the room.

  • Briseadh Aoife as a smaointe nuair a thánán Luas Cillian isteach sa tábhairne.

    Aoife was broken from her thoughts when Cillian suddenly came into the pub.

  • "Conas atá tú, a Aoife?

    "How are you, Aoife?"

  • " ar sé, le gáire a bheadh ag scrúdú a bheith i gcónaí a chara aige.

    he said, with a smile that was always testing the friendship they shared.

  • Bhí Cillian níos ciúine ná mar ba ghnách, a éadan ag taispeáint éiginnteacht faoin todhchaí.

    Cillian was quieter than usual, his face showing uncertainty about the future.

  • Le beagán moille, chuaigh Niamh isteach, a súile lán de bheocht agus fiosracht mar is minic.

    After a short delay, Niamh came in, her eyes full of life and curiosity as often.

  • Bhí sí ag iarraidh a briste i bhfirchúlra an teaghlaigh a bhí ina cúpla bliain anuas.

    She was trying to fix the distance in the family that had grown in the past couple of years.

  • "Cad é an phlean, a Dheirfiúir?

    "What's the plan, Sister?"

  • " d’fhiafraigh sí, a gluamacht díreach.

    she asked, with direct movement.

  • Bhí Aoife ag mothú faoi bhrú go mór anois.

    Aoife was feeling very pressured now.

  • Bhí sí ag iarraidh an teaghlach a choinneáil le chéile le tabhairt ar aghaidh na tábhairne.

    She wanted to keep the family together to carry forward the pub.

  • "Tá an plean seo tábhachtach," ar Aoife go réidh.

    "This plan is important," Aoife said gently.

  • "Teastaíonn uaim go nglacfaidh sibh leis an dúshlán.

    "I want you to take on the challenge."

  • "Chroith Cillian a cheann.

    Cillian shook his head.

  • "Ach cad faoi mo bhrionglóidí féin?

    "But what about my own dreams?

  • Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil an baile seo domsa, Aoife.

    I'm not sure if this town is for me, Aoife."

  • "D'fhreagair Niamh go tapaidh, "Níl mé ag iarraidh a bheith i mbun poppub ainneoin!

    Niamh quickly replied, "I don't want to be stuck running a pub forever!

  • Tá a saol féin uaim, gan ceangail.

    I want my own life, without ties."

  • "Bhí an sorry in atmaisféar an teallaigh lán de teannas.

    The sorry atmosphere in the pub's hearth was full of tension.

  • "Iarraim oraibh éisteacht liom," d'impigh Aoife, a cneas fhiuchta.

    "I ask you to listen to me," pleaded Aoife, her skin flushed.

  • In ionad ghlacadh le teannas an tsaoil, mhothaigh sí an ghátar a beith ar foscadh.

    Instead of accepting the tension of life, she felt the need for shelter.

  • Faoi dheireadh, bris Aoife amach, ag nochtadh an phian a bhí ag cur ar a cliabh.

    Eventually, Aoife broke down, revealing the pain pressing on her chest.

  • "Ní féidir liom é seo a dhéanamh liom féin - táim ag lorg tacaíochta uaibh.

    "I can't do this on my own - I'm looking for support from you.

  • Tá gach rud ag titim as a chéile.

    Everything is falling apart."

  • "D’éirigh an fóram ar buile, ach le haithne, scíth cein agus grá, thagann teachtaireacht.

    The forum became enraged, but with understanding, calm and love, a message emerged.

  • Thug Cillian agus Niamh amharc úra ar an saol atá romhán.

    Cillian and Niamh looked at the future with fresh eyes.

  • "Tá sé ceart agat, a Aoife," a dúirt Cillian, a lámh á dtabhairt go cuiditheach.

    "You’re right, Aoife," said Cillian, extending a helpful hand.

  • "Ba mhaith liom triail a bhaint as," ar Niamh, a mhian le hiontaoibh na bpocaí a bhí discerned ag na scáileán céanna.

    "I want to give it a try," said Niamh, desiring the trust discerned from the same screen pockets.

  • Le chéile, chruthaigh siad plean, cé go raibh sé sealadach, a bhí mar phreabán ar turas shared agus shared.

    Together, they created a plan, albeit temporary, that served as a springboard on a shared journey.

  • Bhí lucht fágtha coinnithe níos rathúla ag suí os comhair an tseomra, agus bhí atmaisféar uile-shocraithe scaipthe go réidh.

    Those left behind were more successful while sitting in front of the room, and a calm atmosphere spread smoothly.

  • Bhí Aoife ag tabhairt freastal seasmhach do dhuine agus bhí áthas uirthi go raibh forbaimhne cásanta ina bun, nach raibh sí ina haonar agus go raibh sé fónta nuair a bhí diaidh dá mbeadh cuspóir beo.

    Aoife was consistently attending to others and was happy that formative opinions were at her core, that she was not alone and that it was worthwhile when there was ultimately a living purpose.

  • Bhí an gealadh láin lucht déanta ag an am sin, agus fágadh an tábharne le háthas agus gealladh.

    The full moon was the creator at that time, and the pub was left with joy and promise.

  • Bhí cuma nua, taobh amuigh chomhaimid a bheadh ag dul faoi ghaoth an fhómhair ar leithinis an tsaoil.

    A new appearance, beyond the shared community, was passing under the winds of autumn on the peninsula of life.
