Story Transcript:

Id: Langit di atas desa di Jawa Tengah terlihat cerah.
En: The sky above the village in Jawa Tengah looked bright.

Id: Suara gamelan lembut mengalun, melengkapi suasana perayaan Idul Fitri yang meriah.
En: The soft sound of gamelan accompanied the festive atmosphere of the Idul Fitri celebration.

Id: Di antara tenda-tenda yang berdiri di tepi desa, sebuah rumah sakit lapangan menjadi pusat perhatian.
En: Among the tents set up at the edge of the village, a field hospital became the center of attention.

Id: Dewi, seorang perawat sukarelawan, bekerja tanpa henti.
En: Dewi, a volunteer nurse, worked tirelessly.

Id: Hatinya penuh hasrat untuk membantu sesama.
En: Her heart was full of passion for helping others.

Id: Dewi sibuk memperhatikan pasien yang datang dan pergi.
En: Dewi was busy attending to patients who came and went.

Id: Kebanyakan hanya lelah setelah sebulan berpuasa atau mengalami lecet kecil saat bersiap-siap untuk lebaran.
En: Most were simply tired after fasting for a month or had minor scrapes from preparing for lebaran.

Id: Namun, terganggu oleh keributan yang terjadi di luar tenda, fokus Dewi terusik.
En: However, disturbed by the commotion occurring outside the tent, Dewi's focus was interrupted.

Id: Suara teriakan terdengar semakin keras.
En: The sound of shouting grew louder.

Id: Ternyata, di sekitar tenda rumah sakit, keluarga Budi dan tetangga mereka tengah terlibat argumen sengit.
En: It turned out that around the hospital tent, Budi's family and their neighbors were involved in a heated argument.

Id: Perselisihan tentang tanah warisan telah membara sejak lama, dan kini memuncak saat perayaan Idul Fitri.
En: A dispute over inherited land had been simmering for a long time and was now reaching a peak during the Idul Fitri celebration.

Id: Budi, saudara sepupu Dewi, termasuk dalam kerumunan itu.
En: Budi, Dewi's cousin, was among the crowd.

Id: Dia terlihat marah dan berapi-api, kehilangan kendali.
En: He looked angry and fiery, losing control.

Id: Yusuf, tetua desa yang sudah lelah dengan konflik yang tak berujung, berdiri di sekitar mencoba menenangkan keadaan.
En: Yusuf, the village elder tired of the endless conflict, stood nearby trying to calm the situation.

Id: Melihat situasi semakin memanas, Dewi tahu dia harus bertindak cepat.
En: Seeing the situation intensifying, Dewi knew she had to act fast.

Id: Namun, dia ragu.
En: However, she hesitated.

Id: Terlibat dalam sengketa keluarga bisa mengancam posisi netralnya sebagai tenaga medis.
En: Getting involved in family disputes could threaten her neutral position as a medical worker.

Id: Dengan hati-hati, Dewi melangkah menuju Yusuf.
En: Carefully, Dewi approached Yusuf.

Id: "Pak Yusuf, mari kita coba bicara dengan mereka," usul Dewi lembut.
En: "Pak Yusuf, let's try to talk to them," suggested Dewi gently.

Id: Yusuf mengangguk setuju, merencanakan pendekatan damai.
En: Yusuf nodded in agreement, planning a peaceful approach.

Id: Mereka berdua mendekati kerumunan.
En: The two of them approached the crowd.

Id: "Saudara-saudara, hari ini kita merayakan kemenangan bersama.
En: "Brothers and sisters, today we celebrate a shared victory.

Id: Bisakah kita sejenak menahan amarah demi kebersamaan ini?
En: Can we hold our anger...
