En: The Buddha statues and ancient carvings stood majestically, surrounded by lush greenery.

Id: Suasana tenang dan damai.
En: The atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

Id: Namun, di dalam hati Budi, ada kegelisahan yang sulit dijelaskan.

Id: “Kita tidak hanya terhubung oleh darah, Budi, tapi juga oleh sejarah,” tambah Dewi mengelus tangan cucunya.
En: "We are not only connected by blood, Budi, but also by history," added Dewi as she stroked her grandson's hand.

Id: Budi merasakan sesuatu yang baru.
