Story Transcript:

Id: Borobudur pagi itu basah karena hujan semalam.
En: Borobudur that morning was wet due to the rain from the night before.

Id: Kabut tipis melayang perlahan, memberi aura misterius pada candi yang megah.
En: A thin mist drifted slowly, giving a mysterious aura to the magnificent temple.

Id: Adi menggenggam catatan yang dibawanya.
En: Adi clutched the notes he brought.

Id: "Hari ini aku akan mengungkap semua rahasia Borobudur," pikirnya.
En: "Today, I will uncover all the secrets of Borobudur," he thought.

Id: Adi dan Rina, kakaknya, datang untuk merayakan Maulid Nabi sekaligus belajar dari sejarah candi ini.
En: Adi and Rina, his sister, came to celebrate Maulid Nabi as well as to learn from the history of this temple.

Id: "Adi, jangan terlalu memaksakan diri," kata Rina, khawatir karena tahu adiknya mengidap asma.
En: "Adi, don't push yourself too hard," said Rina, worried because she knew her brother had asthma.

Id: "Malam ini kita punya banyak waktu, Rina," jawab Adi semangat.
En: "We have plenty of time tonight, Rina," replied Adi excitedly.

Id: Bayu, seorang pemandu lokal, menyambut mereka.
En: Bayu, a local guide, greeted them.

Id: Adi mendengarkan dengan antusias, mencatat setiap detail.

En: Rina watched the cloudy sky, hoping it wouldn't rain again.

Id: Saat mereka menaiki anak tangga, Adi mulai terengah-engah.
En: As they climbed the steps, Adi started to pant.

Id: Udara lembap membuatnya sulit bernapas.
En: The humid air made it difficult for him to breathe.

Id: Rina memandang Adi dengan cemas.
En: Rina looked at Adi with concern.

Id: "Adi, kita harus istirahat," usulnya.
En: "Adi, we should rest," she suggested.

Id: "Tidak, aku baik-baik saja," tolak Adi, meski napasnya semakin berat.
En: "No, I'm fine," Adi refused, even though his breath was getting heavier.

Id: Bayu melihat situasinya.
En: Bayu noticed the situation.

Id: "Ayo, kita ke sana.
En: "Let's go over there.

Id: Ada tempat duduk di bawah pohon itu," tawarnya, menunjuk ke arah tempat teduh.
En: There's a seat under that tree," he offered, pointing to a shaded spot.

Id: Mereka menuju tempat aman itu.
En: They headed to that safe place.

Id: Rina mendudukkan Adi.
En: Rina sat Adi down.

Id: "Tarik napas dalam-dalam, Adi.
