Story Transcript:

Id: Di tengah derasnya hujan musim penghujan, suasana di kantor polisi Jakarta ramai dan riuh.
En: In the midst of the heavy monsoon rain, the atmosphere at the kepolisian office in Jakarta was bustling and lively.

Id: Keramaian ini tidak hanya disebabkan oleh laporan harian, tetapi juga oleh perayaan Maulid Nabi yang membuat banyak orang keluar rumah meskipun cuaca kurang bersahabat.
En: This commotion was not only due to the daily reports but also because of the Maulid Nabi celebration that prompted many people to leave their homes despite the unfavorable weather.

Id: Di sudut kantor, ada Agus, seorang ayah yang tampak gelisah.
En: In a corner of the office, there was Agus, a father who appeared anxious.

Id: Raut wajahnya menunjukkan kekhawatiran mendalam.
En: His facial expression showed deep concern.

Id: "Budi, tolong bantu saya.
En: "Budi, please help me.

Id: Anak saya hilang," kata Agus dengan suara sedikit gemetar.
En: My child is missing," Agus said with a slightly trembling voice.

Id: Dia menatap Budi, petugas polisi yang berdiri di depan meja kerjanya, memohon bantuan dengan mata yang berkaca-kaca.
En: He looked at Budi, the police officer standing in front of his desk, pleading for assistance with tearful eyes.

Id: Agus menjelaskan, putranya pergi ke sekolah pagi hari itu, tetapi tidak kembali sampai sekarang.
En: Agus explained, his son went to school that morning but had not returned until now.

Id: Hal ini membuatnya panik, terutama dengan keadaan lalu lintas yang padat dan cuaca yang tidak mendukung.
En: This made him panic, especially with the heavy traffic and the unfavorable weather conditions.

Id: Di tempat lain, Sari, seorang guru di sekolah anak Agus, merasa terpukul karena tidak menyadari hilangnya anak itu lebih cepat.
En: Elsewhere, Sari, a teacher at Agus's child's school, felt devastated for not realizing the child's disappearance sooner.

Id: Pada hari perayaan seperti ini, banyak kegiatan di sekolah dan semuanya jadi sibuk.
En: On celebratory days like this, there were many activities at school, and everything became so busy.

Id: "Aku harus membantu mereka," pikir Sari, menyiapkan diri untuk pergi ke kantor polisi meskipun hari ini seharusnya hari liburnya.
En: "I have to help them," thought Sari, preparing herself to go to the police office even though today was supposed to be her day off.

Id: Budi, meskipun dilanda banyak tugas, mengumpulkan tim kecil untuk fokus pada kasus ini.
En: Budi, although overwhelmed with tasks, gathered a small team to focus on this case.

Id: "Kita harus bergerak cepat," katanya kepada rekan-rekannya.
En: "We need to act quickly," he said to his colleagues.

Id: Hujan deras bukanlah halangan baginya.
En: The heavy rain was not an obstacle for him.

Id: Agus bergabung...
