Story Transcript:

Id: Pada suatu sore yang basah di Ubud, Dewi berdiri di balik gerainya, mengamati orang-orang berlalu-lalang di pasar.
En: On a wet afternoon in Ubud, Dewi stood behind her stall, observing people passing by in the market.

Id: Hujan gerimis menambah aroma tanah dan wangi dupa yang menguar di udara.
En: A light drizzle added to the scent of earth and incense wafting in the air.

Id: Pasar Ubud berdenyut dalam semarak persiapan Galungan.
En: Ubud Market buzzed with the vibrant preparations for Galungan.

Id: Bermacam-macam tekstil tradisional Bali menghiasi lapak Dewi, menarik perhatian para wisatawan dan penduduk lokal.
En: Various traditional Balinese textiles adorned Dewi's stall, attracting the attention of tourists and locals.

Id: Namun, pikiran Dewi tersita oleh sesuatu yang lain.
En: However, Dewi's mind was occupied by something else.

Id: Tepat di seberang gerainya, di samping lapak bunga milik Aruna, sebuah paket misterius tergeletak begitu saja tanpa tuan.
En: Right across from her stall, next to Aruna's flower stall, lay a mysterious package with no owner.

Id: Paket itu terbungkus kain lusuh, menambah rasa penasaran dalam benaknya.
En: The package was wrapped in tattered cloth, piquing her curiosity.

Id: "Bima, lihat itu," bisik Dewi kepada sahabatnya yang tengah membantunya menyusun kain.
En: "Bima, look at that," Dewi whispered to her friend who was helping her arrange fabrics.

Id: Bima mengangkat kepalanya, matanya mengikuti arah tatapan Dewi.
En: Bima lifted his head, his eyes following Dewi's line of sight.

Id: "Itu bukan urusan kita, Dewi," sahut Bima dengan suara lembut namun tegas.
En: "That's not our business, Dewi," replied Bima softly but firmly.

Id: "Galungan sudah dekat.
En: "Galungan is near.

Id: Kita harus fokus menjual.
En: We need to focus on selling."

Id: "Tetapi rasa penasaran Dewi telah membara.
En: But Dewi's curiosity had already ignited.

Id: Paket itu memanggilnya, seolah-olah menyimpan rahasia yang ingin diungkap.
En: The package called to her, as if it held a secret waiting to be revealed.

Id: "Aku akan melihatnya lebih dekat," kata Dewi bersikeras, meskipun dia tahu Bima tidak setuju.
En: "I'm going to take a closer look," said Dewi resolutely, knowing that Bima disagreed.

Id: Menjelang sore, pasar semakin ramai.
En: As the afternoon progressed, the market became busier.

Id: Denting gamelan terdengar dari kejauhan, mengiringi langkah kaki para pembeli.
En: The sound of gamelan was heard in the distance, accompanying the footsteps of shoppers.

Id: Awannya menggelap, tandanya hujan akan segera turun lebih deras.
En: The clouds darkened, signaling that the rain would soon pour more heavily.

Id: Dewi melihat peluang ketika Aruna, pemilik lapak di seberang, pergi untuk bergabung dengan keluarga dalam upacara Galungan.
En: Dewi saw her chance when Aruna, the stall owner across the way, left to join her family in the Galungan ceremony.

Id: Tanpa ragu, Dewi bergerak cepat menuju paket itu.
En: Without hesitation, Dewi quickly moved towards the package.

Id: Ia memandang sekeliling, memastikan tak ada yang melihat.
En: She glanced around, making sure no one was watching.

Id: Dengan tangan bergetar, ia membuka lapisan kainnya.
En: With trembling hands, she opened the layers of cloth.
