Story Transcript:

Id: Di sudut Kalimantan Selatan, terdapat sebuah desa unik bernama Kampung Air.
En: In a corner of Kalimantan Selatan, there is a unique village called Kampung Air.

Id: Desa ini tidak seperti desa lainnya.
En: This village is unlike any other.

Id: Rumah-rumahnya berdiri tegak di atas air, tersambung oleh jembatan-jembatan kayu sempit.
En: Its houses stand upright over water, connected by narrow wooden bridges.

Id: Ayu, seorang siswi SMA yang mencintai sejarah dan kebudayaan, menerima tugas sekolah untuk menjelajahi warisan budayanya.
En: Ayu, a high school student who loves history and culture, received a school assignment to explore her cultural heritage.

Id: Musim hujan baru saja dimulai ketika Ayu memutuskan untuk mengunjungi Kampung Air.
En: The rainy season had just begun when Ayu decided to visit Kampung Air.

Id: Bersama dengan Rizal, temannya yang gemar fotografi, dan Lila, sahabat terbaik yang meskipun skeptis, selalu mendukung langkah Ayu.
En: Accompanied by Rizal, her photography-loving friend, and Lila, her best friend who, although skeptical, always supports Ayu's ventures.

Id: Di bawah langit kelabu yang menggantung berat dengan awan hujan, mereka bertiga menaiki perahu kecil menuju desa.
En: Under a gray sky heavy with rain clouds, the three of them boarded a small boat heading towards the village.

Id: "Aku ingin mengabadikan keindahan desa ini," kata Rizal, kamera tergantung di leher.

En: Lila nodded while holding tightly onto her waterproof bag, "Make sure the camera doesn't get wet, okay."

Id: "Ayu duduk diam, memandang rumah-rumah kayu yang berwarna-warni.
En: Ayu sat quietly, gazing at the colorful wooden houses.

Id: Setiap rumah berdiri di atas tiang, berderap di atas air yang tenang.
En: Each house stood on stilts, poised over the calm water.

Id: Dia merasa senang, tetapi juga sedikit gugup.
En: She felt happy, yet a bit nervous.

Id: "Apa aku benar-benar bisa memahami budaya yang kaya ini?
En: "Can I really understand this rich culture?"

Id: " pikirnya.
En: she wondered.

Id: Seiring mereka menyusuri jembatan kayu, senyum hangat penduduk menyambut.
En: As they walked along the wooden bridge, warm smiles from the residents greeted them.

Id: Ayu berhenti di sebuah warung kecil.
En: Ayu stopped at a small shop.

Id: Seorang wanita tua menyuguhkan teh hangat dan kue-kue tradisional.
En: An old woman offered them warm tea and traditional cakes.

Id: Sambil menikmati suguhan, Ayu mendengarkan cerita tentang asal-usul Kampung Air.
En: While enjoying the treats, Ayu listened to stories about the origins of Kampung Air.

Id: “Hujan adalah bagian dari hidup di sini,” kata wanita tua itu.
En: "Rain is a part of life here," the old woman said.

Id: “Seperti air yang mendukung desa ini, begitu pula hujan mendukung kehidupan kita.
En: "Just like the water that supports this village, so does the rain support our lives."

Id: ”Saat mereka beranjak pergi, hujan mulai turun, deras.
En: As they were about to leave, the rain started to pour down heavily.

Id: Rombongan kecil ini seketika berlarian mencari tempat...
