Story Transcript:

Id: Di tengah hutan lebat Kalimantan, suara burung-burung menyambut pagi di Festival Hari Hutan tahunan.
En: In the middle of the dense hutan of Kalimantan, the sound of birds greeted the morning at the annual Festival Hari Hutan.

Id: Rina, seorang perempuan muda yang penuh semangat, melihat sekeliling.
En: Rina, a young woman full of enthusiasm, looked around.

Id: Matahari mengintip di antara daun-daun, memberi kesan magis pada hutan.
En: The sun peeked between the leaves, giving a magical impression to the forest.

Id: Di depannya, dekorasi festival yang penuh warna menyatu dengan kehijauan alam.
En: In front of her, the colorful festival decorations blended with the greenery of nature.

Id: Rina datang dengan satu tujuan: menginspirasi masyarakat tentang pentingnya menjaga hutan.
En: Rina came with one purpose: to inspire the community about the importance of preserving the forest.

Id: Di pinggir arena festival, Dewi, seorang ahli ekologi berpengalaman, tengah memimpin persiapan acara.
En: At the edge of the festival arena, Dewi, an experienced ecologist, was leading the event preparations.

Id: Ia menyadari tantangan yang menanti, khususnya menghadapi pandangan skeptis dari beberapa penduduk lokal.
En: She was aware of the challenges ahead, especially facing the skeptical views of some local residents.

Id: Salah satu dari mereka adalah Budi, seorang penduduk desa yang khawatir tentang dampak gagasan Rina terhadap kehidupan tradisional mereka.
En: One of them was Budi, a villager who was worried about the impact of Rina's ideas on their traditional way of life.

Id: Rina memutuskan untuk mengeksplorasi hutan sebelum festival dimulai.
En: Rina decided to explore the forest before the festival began.

Id: Sambil berjalan, dia merenungkan cara terbaik untuk terhubung dengan penduduk desa.
En: As she walked, she contemplated the best way to connect with the villagers.

Id: Dia tahu pentingnya mendengar kekhawatiran mereka.
En: She knew the importance of listening to their concerns.

Id: Ketika kembali, Rina melihat Budi berdiri di dekat tenda utama.
En: Upon returning, Rina saw Budi standing near the main tent.

Id: Mereka belum pernah berbicara secara langsung, namun Rina tahu inilah waktunya.
En: They had never spoken directly, but Rina knew this was the time.

Id: “Selamat pagi, Budi,” sapa Rina dengan senyum tulus.
En: “Good morning, Budi,” greeted Rina with a sincere smile.

Id: “Selamat pagi,” jawab Budi dengan nada datar, matanya mengawasi.
En: “Good morning,” replied Budi in a flat tone, his eyes observing.

Id: “Apa tujuanmu datang ke sini?”
En: “What is your purpose for coming here?”

Id: Rina mengambil napas dalam, memutuskan pendekatannya.
En: Rina took a deep breath, deciding on her approach.

Id: “Aku ingin mendengar apa yang kamu khawatirkan. Aku tahu perubahan bisa terasa menakutkan.”
En: “I want to hear what concerns you. I know change can feel frightening.”

Id: Budi terkejut. Tidak banyak orang luar yang benar-benar ingin mendengar.
En: Budi was surprised. Not many outsiders truly wanted to listen.

Id: “Kami khawatir kehilangan cara hidup kami. Hutan adalah rumah kami. Kami sudah merawatnya dengan cara kami.”
En: “We are worried about losing our way of life. The forest is our home. We have been taking care of it in our own way.”
