Story Transcript:

Id: Di tengah hiruk-pikuk Pasar Santa yang penuh warna dan aroma, Dewi sibuk memilih bahan masak.
En: In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Pasar Santa filled with vibrant colors and aromas, Dewi was busy choosing cooking ingredients.

Id: Suara pedagang yang menawarkan dagangan bersahut-sahutan.
En: The voices of vendors offering their goods echoed back and forth.

Id: Hari itu terik, sisa-sisa perayaan Hari Kemerdekaan terasa dalam bentuk dekorasi merah putih yang masih menghiasi pasar.
En: It was a sweltering day, and remnants of Independence Day celebrations lingered in the form of red and white decorations still adorning the market.

Id: "Dewi! Aku mau lihat mainan di sana," seru Rizki, adik laki-laki Dewi yang energetik.
En: "Dewi! I want to check out the toys over there," exclaimed Rizki, Dewi's energetic younger brother.

Id: Dewi tersenyum dan mengangguk, membiarkan adiknya sejenak menikmati suasana pasar.
En: Dewi smiled and nodded, allowing her brother to enjoy the market atmosphere for a moment.

Id: Namun, tak lama kemudian, Dewi merasakan ada yang tidak beres.
En: However, not long after, Dewi sensed that something was wrong.

Id: Dari kejauhan, dia melihat Rizki duduk di pinggir jalan dengan napas terengah-engah.
En: From a distance, she saw Rizki sitting on the roadside, panting heavily.

Id: Kala itu, Dewi langsung tahu bahwa asthma adiknya kambuh.
En: At that moment, Dewi immediately knew that her brother's asthma had flared up.

Id: Panik mulai melanda Dewi.
En: Panic started to take over Dewi.

Id: Di tengah kerumunan pasar yang padat, mencari pertolongan terasa sulit.
En: In the tight market crowd, finding help seemed difficult.

Id: Dengan cepat, Dewi merogoh kantong dan meraih ponsel.
En: Quickly, Dewi reached into her pocket and grabbed her phone.

Id: "Amira," gumamnya dalam hati.
En: "Amira," she muttered to herself.

Id: Amira adalah sahabat dekat keluarga, kebetulan seorang mahasiswa kedokteran, dan tidak jauh dari lokasi mereka.
En: Amira was a close family friend, coincidentally a medical student, and was not far from their location.

Id: Setelah menelepon Amira, Dewi harus mengambil keputusan cepat.
En: After calling Amira, Dewi had to make a quick decision.

Id: Apakah menunggu Amira atau mencari inhaler di apotik terdekat?
En: Should she wait for Amira or look for an inhaler at the nearest pharmacy?

Id: Melihat Rizki semakin kesulitan bernapas, Dewi tak bisa menunggu lebih lama.
En: Seeing Rizki struggle more with his breathing, Dewi couldn't wait any longer.

Id: Dengan cekatan, Dewi memeluk Rizki erat, menenangkannya sambil berusaha menguak jalan melalui kerumunan.
En: Swiftly, Dewi hugged Rizki tightly, calming him as she tried to weave through the crowd.

Id: "Ayo sayang, kita pergi ke apotik dulu," ujar Dewi, meyakinkan Rizki dan dirinya sendiri.
En: "Come on, dear, let's go to the pharmacy first," said Dewi, reassuring Rizki and herself.

Id: Tidak lama kemudian, Amira datang dari arah yang berlawanan.
En: Not long afterward, Amira came from the opposite direction.

Id: "Dewi, ini inhalernya," seru Amira sambil kalah napas.
En: "Dewi, here's the inhaler," shouted Amira, catching her breath.

Id: Tanpa berpikir panjang, Dewi segera memberikan inhaler kepada Rizki.
En: Without a second thought, Dewi...
