Story Transcript:

Id: Ketika hujan deras turun tiba-tiba di Jakarta, Rahmat berlindung di sebuah kafe modern yang terletak di sudut jalan.
En: When a sudden heavy rain fell in Jakarta, Rahmat took shelter in a modern café located at the street corner.

Id: Hawa dingin dan sapuan air hujan yang menghantam kaca besar kafe membuat suasana menjadi tenang dan nyaman.
En: The cool air and the rain beating against the large café windows made the atmosphere calm and cozy.

Id: Di dalam, aroma kopi yang menggoda menghangatkan setiap pengunjung yang berteduh.
En: Inside, the tempting aroma of coffee warmed every visitor seeking refuge.

Id: Rahmat, seorang arsitek yang giat bekerja, merasa sangat lelah.
En: Rahmat, a diligent architect, felt very tired.

Id: Proyek besar di kantornya menyerap energi dan pikirannya.
En: A big project at his office drained his energy and mind.

Id: Ketika ia memasuki kafe, pandangannya tertuju pada meja kecil di pojok yang hanya menyisakan satu kursi kosong.
En: As he entered the café, his gaze was drawn to a small table in the corner with only one empty chair left.

Id: Di seberangnya, duduk seorang perempuan dengan rambut panjang terurai. Dia tampak fokus pada ponselnya.
En: Across from it sat a woman with long flowing hair, seemingly focused on her phone.

Id: Perempuan itu adalah Arini, seorang influencer media sosial terkenal yang merasa kesepian meski memiliki ribuan pengikut.
En: That woman was Arini, a famous social media influencer who felt lonely despite having thousands of followers.

Id: Sore itu, ia mencari tempat untuk menghindar sejenak dari lampu sorot dunia maya.
En: That afternoon, she was looking for a place to escape briefly from the spotlight of the digital world.

Id: Saat matanya bertemu dengan Rahmat yang berdiri kebingungan mencari tempat duduk, ia tersenyum dan mengisyaratkan agar Rahmat duduk bersamanya.
En: When her eyes met Rahmat, who was standing confused while looking for a seat, she smiled and signaled for him to join her.

Id: Rahmat ragu-ragu.
En: Rahmat hesitated.

Id: Ia bukan tipe orang yang mudah bergaul, apalagi dengan orang yang baru dikenalnya.
En: He wasn't the type to easily socialize, especially with people he'd just met.

Id: Namun, semua meja sudah penuh dan hujan di luar semakin deras.
En: However, all the tables were full, and the rain outside was getting heavier.

Id: Akhirnya, dia memberanikan diri untuk duduk.
En: Finally, he mustered the courage to sit.

Id: “Terima kasih, saya Rahmat,” ucapnya sambil mengangguk pelan.
En: “Thank you, I’m Rahmat,” he said, nodding slightly.

Id: Arini tersenyum lembut. “Aku Arini,” jawabnya dengan ramah.
En: Arini smiled gently. “I'm Arini,” she replied warmly.

Id: Obrolan mereka dimulai dengan basa-basi, tentang cuaca dan keramaian kota.
En: Their conversation started with small talk about the weather and the city bustle.

Id: Awalnya, Rahmat lebih banyak mendengarkan.
En: Initially, Rahmat mostly listened.

Id: Namun, seiring percakapan berlanjut, dia merasakan ada yang berbeda dari Arini.
En: But as the conversation continued, he felt there was something different about Arini.

Id: Dibalik tawa dan ceritanya tentang dunia digital, Rahmat melihat kesepian yang dia kenal.
En: Behind her laughter and stories about the digital...
