Bhí Niall ag obair go dian i mbruachbhailte úra Bhaile Átha Cliath.

Niall was working hard in the new suburbs of Baile Átha Cliath.

Bhí an geimhreadh anseo, leis an ngaoth fhuar ag séideadh ar na fuinneoga móra.

Winter was here, with the cold wind blowing against the large windows.

Taobh istigh den oifig, bhí an t-aer te, bfigheann na ríomhairí dearga ann.

Inside the office, the air was warm, as the computers hummed.

Bhí fuaim bog na méarchláir mar cheol cúlra ag na hoibrithe.

The gentle sound of keyboards was like background music to the workers.

Bhí Orla agus Cian ina suí ina suí ag a ndeasca, ag tabhairt dícheall orthu féin ar an tionscadal a bhí á fhorbairt ag a ngnólacht.

Orla and Cian sat at their desks, giving their all to the project their company was developing.

Bhí deireadh ama ag teannadh ach bhíodar fós ag obair go crua.

The deadline was approaching, but they were still working hard.

Bhí sé soiléir nach raibh am le cailleadh.

It was clear there was no time to waste.

Bhí Niall an-chúramach, ag déanamh iarracht é féin a scaradh idir an tionscadal ríthábhachtach agus an paisean rúnda seo a bhí aige do scríbhneoireacht.

Niall was very careful, trying to balance the critical project with his secret passion for writing.

Bhí sclábhaíocht déanta ag Niall ar an tionscadal le seachtainí, ach ba í an insint a bhí faoi bhun a lámha ag cruthú brionglóid ag a lón.

Niall had been slaving over the project for weeks, but it was the story under his hands that created a dream during his lunch.

Chinn Niall cloig aláram a chur air féin.

Niall decided to set an alarm for himself.

Dhúisigh sé go luath ag an maidin agus d’fhág sé an oifig go mall um thráthnóna.

He woke up early in the morning and left the office late in the evening.

Bhí an lá fada ach bhí a chroí sásta mar go raibh deis aige scríbhneoireacht a dhéanamh sa rith céanna.

The day was long, but his heart was content because he had the opportunity to write simultaneously.

Ach bhí aimhreas sa spéartha nuair a tharla earráid uafásach an lá roimh an spriocdháta.

But there was doubt in the air when a terrible error occurred the day before the deadline.

Bhí eagla ar Orla agus Cian.

Orla and Cian were afraid.

"Cad a dhéanfaimid anois?

"What will we do now?"

" a d’fhiafraigh Orla go díomách.

Orla asked despondently.

Ghlac Niall léim.

Niall took a leap.

"Is féidir liom é a shocrú," a dúirt sé go ciúin ach le muinín.

"I can fix it," he said quietly but with confidence.

Chaith sé na huaire an chloig ina dhiaidh sin ag obair go fíochmhar.

He spent the following hours working fiercely.

Am á scriosadh.

Time was of the essence.

Sholáthair sé an réiteach díreach in am, an tuarascáil a chur isteach díreach sula an clog críochnaithe.

He provided the solution just in time, submitting the report just before the clock stopped.

Bhí gliondar tar éis dóibh trína chéile don tionscadal.

Relief swept through them for the project.

Tháinig faoiseamh do chroí Niall, agus bhí misneach nua aige.

Relief came to Niall's heart, and he gained new confidence.

An oíche sin, agus an geimhreadh ag creathadh lasmuigh, chríochnaigh sé a ghearrscéal freisin.

That night, as winter shook outside, he also finished his short story.

Bhí sé tuirseach ach sona.

He was tired but happy.

Thuig sé rud tábhachtach faoin saol an oíche sin - is féidir leis an aistear uaillmhianta pearsanta agus gairme a spleách gan iad a thitim amach.

He realized something important about life that night - personal ambitions and career journeys can coexist without conflict.

Cé go raibh an geimhreadh fuar, mhothaigh sé an teas de bharr a fhios go raibh sé ar an gcosán ceart, cumhachtaithe ag a bpaisean agus a ghnóthachtáil.

Though winter was cold, he felt the warmth from knowing he was on the right path, empowered by his passion and achievement.

Bhí sé sásta go raibh sé féin amhail is dá mbeadh rudaí éagsúla comhtháite ina shlí bheatha gan aon íobairt.

He was glad that it seemed different things could be integrated into his career without any sacrifice.

Bhí todhchaí geal rompu, agus bhí Niall ag fanacht le gach céim eile dá chuid scéalta.

A bright future lay ahead, and Niall was looking forward to every next chapter of his stories.
