Story Transcript:

Id: Hari itu adalah hari yang cerah di Borobudur.
En: It was a bright day at Borobudur.

Id: Ayu, seorang mahasiswi yang penuh pertanyaan tentang masa depannya, berada di sana bersama keluarganya.
En: Ayu, a college student full of questions about her future, was there with her family.

Id: Ini adalah hari yang istimewa, Hari Raya Idul Fitri, saat di mana mereka bisa merayakan kebersamaan sembari menikmati sejarah Indonesia.
En: It was a special day, Hari Raya Idul Fitri, a time when they could celebrate togetherness while enjoying the history of Indonesia.

Id: Ayu berdiri di depan candi, mengagumi keindahan arsitektur kuno yang dikelilingi oleh bintang-bintang batu.
En: Ayu stood in front of the temple, admiring the beauty of the ancient architecture surrounded by stone stars.

Id: Dia merasa ada sesuatu yang istimewa di sini, sesuatu yang memanggil jiwanya.
En: She felt something special there, something calling to her soul.

Id: Sementara itu, adiknya, Fajar, tidak bisa diam.
En: Meanwhile, her younger brother, Fajar, could not keep still.

Id: Dia berlari ke sana kemari, penuh semangat, ingin menjelajahi setiap sudut candi.
En: He ran here and there, full of enthusiasm, wanting to explore every corner of the temple.

Id: Dengan mata penuh rasa ingin tahu, dia mencoba menyentuh setiap stupa dan bertanya tentang kisah di baliknya.
En: With eyes full of curiosity, he tried to touch every stupa and asked about the stories behind them.

Id: Rani, ibu mereka, tersenyum melihat kedua anaknya.
En: Rani, their mother, smiled at her two children.

Id: Namun, hati kecilnya cemas, takut kehilangan mereka di tengah keramaian pengunjung.
En: However, her heart was anxious, afraid of losing them in the crowd of visitors.

Id: Dia terus mengawasi Fajar dan memanggil Ayu yang tampak melamun jauh.
En: She kept watching Fajar and called out to Ayu, who seemed to be daydreaming.

Id: "Mama, boleh Ayu pergi sebentar sendiri?
En: "Mama, can Ayu go off for a while by herself?"

Id: " tanya Ayu, suaranya lembut tapi mantap.
En: asked Ayu, her voice soft yet firm.

Id: Dia merasa perlu waktu untuk sendiri, untuk berpikir dan meresapi kedamaian yang sulit ditemukan.
En: She felt she needed time alone to think and soak in the peace that was hard to find.

Id: Rani ragu sejenak, namun melihat tekad di mata putrinya, dia mengangguk.
En: Rani hesitated for a moment, but seeing the determination in her daughter’s eyes, she nodded.

Id: "Tapi Ayu jangan jauh-jauh ya.
En: "But don't go too far, Ayu.

Id: Nanti cepat kembali," pesannya lembut namun penuh perhatian.
En: Come back soon," she advised gently yet attentively.

Id: Ayu perlahan melangkah menjauh dari keramaian, mencari tempat yang lebih tenang.
En: Ayu slowly stepped away from the crowd, seeking a quieter place.

Id: Dia memanjat hingga ke puncak candi, tempat di mana matahari hampir tenggelam dan langit berubah menjadi warna jingga keemasan.
En: She climbed to the top of the temple, where the sun was almost setting and the sky turned a golden orange.

Id: Angin pagi yang lembut menyapa wajahnya, menggugurkan beban yang sedang dia pikul.
En: The gentle morning breeze touched her face, shedding the burdens she was carrying.

Id: Di atas sana, Ayu akhirnya menemukan ketenangan.
En: Up there, Ayu finally found...
