Story Transcript:

Id: Dewi berdiri di depan Pasar Santa, memandang keramaian yang berkilau meskipun hujan turun deras.
En: Dewi stood in front of Pasar Santa, gazing at the bustling crowd that shone despite the heavy rain.

Id: Sehari menjelang perayaan istimewa, dia merasa cemas.
En: One day before the special celebration, she felt anxious.

Id: Dia harus mengesankan para mertua yang suka menilai.
En: She had to impress her in-laws who were fond of judging.

Id: Suara bising pasar, bau rempah-rempah, dan tawa para pedagang memenuhi indra Dewi, mendorongnya untuk segera bertindak.
En: The noise of the market, the aroma of spices, and the laughter of the vendors filled Dewi's senses, urging her to act swiftly.

Id: Budi, sahabat Dewi, menyentuh punggungnya lembut.
En: Budi, Dewi's friend, gently touched her back.

Id: "Ayo, Dewi, kamu pasti bisa," katanya memberi semangat.
En: "Come on, Dewi, you can do it," he encouraged her.

Id: Sari, teman mereka yang lain, sudah lebih dulu berkeliling mencari barang yang dibutuhkan.
En: Sari, another friend of theirs, had already gone ahead to look for the needed items.

Id: Mereka bertiga sepakat mengumpulkan bahan-bahan untuk pesta perayaan akhir tahun ini.
En: The three of them had agreed to gather ingredients for this year's end celebration.

Id: Hujan membuat beberapa penjual menutup kios lebih awal.
En: The rain caused some sellers to close their stalls early.

Id: Ini membuat Dewi khawatir.
En: This worried Dewi.

Id: Barang yang dia perlukan langka dan tersebar di seluruh pasar.
En: The items she needed were rare and scattered throughout the market.

Id: Baju hujannya basah, tapi dia melangkah tegas menyusuri lorong pasar yang penuh warna.
En: Her raincoat was wet, but she walked confidently through the colorful market aisles.

Id: "Di sana ada penjual rempah-rempah," kata Budi menunjuk kios kecil di ujung pasar.
En: "There’s a spice vendor over there," Budi said, pointing to a small stall at the end of the market.

Id: Dewi menghampiri kios tersebut.
En: Dewi approached the stall.

Id: “Bisa dibantu, Mbak?” tanya penjual itu ramah.
En: “Can I help you, Miss?” the vendor asked kindly.

Id: Dewi menjelaskan bahwa dia mencari rempah-rempah khusus yang jarang.
En: Dewi explained that she was looking for rare spices.

Id: Namun, penjual itu menggeleng.
En: However, the vendor shook his head.

Id: Stok sudah habis.
En: The stock was gone.

Id: Tanpa menyerah, Dewi terus mencari dari satu kios ke kios lain.
En: Not giving up, Dewi continued searching from one stall to another.

Id: Setiap langkah terasa berat di bawah hujan.
En: Every step felt heavy under the rain.

Id: Tapi dia tekad.
En: But she was determined.

Id: Sari muncul membawa beberapa bahan yang mereka butuhkan.
En: Sari appeared with some of the ingredients they needed.

Id: “Masih ada satu lagi yang mencari rosemary langka itu,” katanya memberi harapan.
En: “There’s still one more looking for that rare rosemary,” she said, giving hope.

Id: Dewi mendekati kios terakhir.
En: Dewi approached the last stall.

Id: Hujan makin deras.
En: The rain grew heavier.

Id: Penjualnya, seorang pria tua, bersiap menutup kios.
En: The vendor, an old man, was preparing to close his stall.

Id: Dewi...
