Id: "Bu Ayu, ayo kita cari sayuran segar di sana," ujar Dewi sambil menggandeng Ayu.
En: "Bu Ayu, let's find fresh vegetables over there," said Dewi while holding Ayu's arm.

Id: Rizky dan beberapa tetangga lainnya pura-pura asyik berbincang sambil mengawasi Ayu, memastikan barang belanjaannya tidak terlalu banyak.
En: Rizky and some other neighbors pretended to engage in casual conversations while keeping an eye on Ayu, ensuring her shopping wasn't too heavy.

Id: Sepeti aktivitas belanja biasa, mereka terus berkeliling sambil sesekali saling bercanda hingga tak terasa semua kebutuhan Ayu sudah terkumpul.
En: Like a regular shopping activity, they continued to stroll around, occasionally joking until all of Ayu's needs were gathered.
