I think I accidentally deleted everything,” he admitted softly.Af: Met net minute oor, sit hulle albei en bou inderhaas 'n nuwe aanbieding.En: With just minutes to spare, they both sat down and hastily built a new presentation.Af: Tyd was skaars en spanning was hoog, maar iets begin verander.En: Time was scarce, and tension was high, but something began to change.Af: Hulle begin lag en werk saam.En: They started laughing and working together.Af: Annelie stel voor dat hulle eenvoudig oor die app praat soos hulle daaroor gesels het by die ete tafel.En: Annelie suggested they simply talk about the app as they did over the dinner table.Af: Pieter stem saam en voeg een of twee grapies by om die soet te maak.En: Pieter agreed and added a joke or two to sweeten it.Af: Hulle stap die verhoog op, hande effens bewend.En: They stepped onto the stage, hands slightly trembling.Af: Die kamer was vol bekende gesigte, en 'n paar vreemdelinge, gereed om kritiek en vrae te bied.En: The room was full of familiar faces and a few strangers, ready to offer criticism and questions.Af: Tog, toe hulle begin praat, verander iets.En: Yet, when they began to speak, something changed.Af: Pieter se natuurlike humor en Annelie se swaarbevoegde prentjies het 'n chemie geskep wat die gehoor betower.En: Pieter's natural humor and Annelie's hard-won illustrations created a chemistry that captivated the audience.Af: Hulle praat met soveel passie dat die skerm agter hulle byna onnodig voel.En: They spoke with such passion that the screen behind them felt almost unnecessary.Af: Toe hulle klaar is, is die regters stil, en dan, 'n enkele klap, en daarna 'n kamer vol applous.En: When they finished, the judges were silent, then a single clap, followed by a room full of applause.Af: Uiteindelik, hulle het gewen.En: In the end, they won.Af: Nie net die pryse nie, maar die respek vir mekaar se unieke talente.En: Not only the prizes but the respect for each other's unique talents.Af: Pieter het besef hoe belangrik dit was om 'n plan te hê.En: Pieter realized the importance of having a plan.Af: Annelie...
