Story Transcript:

Id: Langit Bali tertutup awan kelabu ketika Arif dan Putri tiba di Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai.
En: The sky over Bali was covered with gray clouds when Arif and Putri arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Id: Perjalanan study tour mereka akan berakhir, dan rasa senang bercampur cemas terlihat di wajah mereka.
En: Their study tour trip was coming to an end, and a mixture of joy and anxiety was visible on their faces.

Id: Arif menikmati setiap momen di Bali, tapi ia juga merindukan rumah.
En: Arif enjoyed every moment in Bali, but he also missed home.

Id: Putri, dengan rambut hitam terurai, berdiri di sampingnya, memikirkan persahabatan mereka yang semakin erat selama perjalanan ini.
En: Putri, with her long black hair, stood beside him, reflecting on the friendship that had deepened during this trip.

Id: Di bandara, suasana ramai.
En: At the airport, the atmosphere was bustling.

Id: Pengumuman suara keras silih berganti dengan suara koper-koper yang berderak.
En: Loud announcements alternated with the sound of rolling suitcases.

Id: Di luar, hujan deras mengguyur landasan pacu, menunda berbagai jadwal penerbangan.
En: Outside, heavy rain poured onto the runway, delaying several flight schedules.

Id: Arif ingin berbicara dengan Putri, tetapi keramaian bandara membuatnya gugup.
En: Arif wanted to talk with Putri, but the busy airport made him nervous.

Id: "Akan jadi momen yang tepat kalau kita bisa ngobrol serius," pikir Arif, sambil melihat ke arah Putri yang sedang melihat ke luar jendela.
En: "It would be the right moment if we could have a serious talk," thought Arif, as he watched Putri staring out the window.

Id: Nyepi, Hari Raya Ketenangan, akan segera tiba.
En: Nyepi, the Day of Silence, would soon arrive.

Id: Seluruh Bali bersiap menyambut hari itu dengan tenang dan hening.
En: All of Bali was preparing to welcome the day with peace and quiet.

Id: "Mungkin saat Nyepi, semua akan lebih mudah," kata Arif dalam hatinya.
En: "Maybe during Nyepi, everything will be easier," Arif thought to himself.

Id: Namun, kesempatan berbicara hanya ada saat ini, ketika mereka masih di bandara, terjebak dalam suasana kacau.
En: However, the opportunity to talk was only available now, while they were still at the airport, caught in the chaotic setting.

Id: Arif tahu ia harus mengambil langkah untuk mengungkapkan pikirannya.
En: Arif knew he had to take a step to express his thoughts.

Id: "Putri," panggilnya pelan, namun Putri tidak mendengar karena hingar bingar sekitar.
En: "Putri," he called softly, but she didn’t hear him due to the surrounding noise.

Id: Dengan tekad lebih bulat, Arif mendekati Putri, menarik nafas, dan mencoba lagi.
En: With a firmer resolve, Arif approached Putri, took a deep breath, and tried again.

Id: "Putri, boleh bicara sebentar?" kalimat itu akhirnya keluar lebih jelas.
En: "Putri, can we talk for a moment?" he finally said more clearly.

Id: Putri menoleh, menatap Arif dengan mata penuh rasa ingin tahu.
En: Putri turned, looking at Arif with curious eyes.

Id: "Boleh. Apa yang mau kamu omongin?" tanyanya.
En: "Sure. What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

Id: "Momen selama di Bali ini, aku merasa... kita jadi lebih dekat.
En: "During our time in Bali, I feel like... we've become closer.

Id: Aku ingin...
