Story Transcript:

Id: Hujan turun deras di desa kecil, membawa suasana yang sejuk dan damai di panti asuhan yang terletak di antara pepohonan rindang dan semak belukar yang hijau.
En: The rain poured heavily in the small village, bringing a cool and peaceful atmosphere to the orphanage nestled among lush trees and green shrubs.

Id: Panti asuhan itu memiliki bangunan tradisional Indonesia, dengan atap genteng yang terkadang bocor ketika hujan datang.
En: The orphanage had a traditional Indonesia building, with a tiled roof that sometimes leaked when the rain came.

Id: Suara hujan berpadu dengan tawa anak-anak yang bermain di dalam, menciptakan suasana hangat walau terkadang pilu.
En: The sound of the rain mixed with the laughter of children playing inside, creating a warm atmosphere though sometimes tinged with melancholy.

Id: Adi, seorang pria muda yang baru saja tiba di panti, berdiri di depan pintu masuk.
En: Adi, a young man who had just arrived at the orphanage, stood at the entrance.

Id: Ini adalah liburan pertama yang dia habiskan di luar rutinitas pekerjaannya yang sibuk.
En: This was the first holiday he spent outside his busy work routine.

Id: Ada harapan di matanya, mencari tujuan hidup yang lebih dalam.
En: There was hope in his eyes, searching for a deeper purpose in life.

Id: Dia ingin berbagi kebaikan di musim liburan ini.
En: He wanted to share kindness during this holiday season.

Id: Namun, ketika tatapannya bertemu dengan Rina, kepala pengasuh panti asuhan, dia merasa ada jarak yang sulit dijembatani.
En: However, when his gaze met Rina, the head caretaker of the orphanage, he felt there was a distance that was difficult to bridge.

Id: Rina memiliki masa lalu di tempat ini, tumbuh di antara dinding yang sama, dan sekarang dia kembali untuk merawat anak-anak lain seperti dirinya.
En: Rina had a past in this place, growing up among the same walls, and now she was back to care for other children like herself.

Id: Rina memperhatikan Adi dengan skeptis.
En: Rina observed Adi with skepticism.

Id: Dia khawatir Adi hanya datang untuk merasa baik pada dirinya sendiri.
En: She worried that Adi had only come to feel good about himself.

Id: Siapa yang bisa menyalahkannya?
En: Who could blame her?

Id: Banyak orang datang dan pergi, tanpa benar-benar peduli.
En: Many people came and went, without truly caring.

Id: Tetapi, ketika Adi dengan gigih menawarkan bantuan, Rina ragu-ragu sejenak sebelum akhirnya memutuskan untuk memberinya kesempatan.
En: But when Adi persistently offered to help, Rina hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to give him a chance.

Id: Mereka berdua sepakat merencanakan proyek Natal untuk anak-anak.
En: They both agreed to plan a Christmas project for the children.

Id: Hujan semakin deras hari itu, dan tiba-tiba air mulai menetes dari langit-langit ruang bermain.
En: The rain intensified that day, and suddenly water began to drip from the ceiling of the playroom.

Id: Adi langsung bergegas mengambil ember dan kain, sementara Rina melihat dalam diam.
En: Adi immediately rushed to grab a bucket and cloth, while Rina watched in silence.

Id: Betapa bersemangatnya Adi ketika mencoba membantu, pikir Rina.
En: How enthusiastic Adi was as he tried to help, thought Rina.

Id: Ketika mereka bekerja sama menutup kebocoran, sebuah percakapan pelan tetapi penuh...
