Story Transcript:

Id: Adi mengerutkan kening sambil menatap benda besar berwarna hijau di depannya.
En: Adi furrowed his brow while staring at the big green object in front of him.

Id: "Kita harus bisa," katanya penuh semangat, matanya bersinar dengan ide.
En: "We have to do this," he said enthusiastically, his eyes gleaming with ideas.

Id: Di sebelahnya, Made tampak ragu tapi tersenyum, siap membantu sahabatnya.
En: Beside him, Made looked doubtful but smiled, ready to help his friend.

Id: Mereka berdiri di tengah halaman sekolah asrama yang rindang, matahari sore menyorot terik, memberikan nuansa khas musim kemarau.
En: They stood in the middle of the shady boarding school yard, the afternoon sun shining brightly, giving a distinctive nuance of the dry season.

Id: Pak Budi, kepala sekolah yang dikenal tegas, baru saja memperkenalkan aturan ketat tanpa makanan besar di dalam asrama.
En: Pak Budi, the principal known for his strictness, had just introduced a strict rule against large meals in the dormitory.

Id: Ini semua karena kejadian terakhir ketika sekantong durian membuat seluruh koridor berbau menyengat selama seminggu.
En: This was all due to the last incident when a bag of durian made the entire corridor smell pungent for a week.

Id: Namun, Adi, terpacu oleh tantangan dari teman-teman sekelasnya, ingin membuktikan keterampilannya dengan menyelundupkan semangka raksasa ini ke dalam kamar asrama mereka.
En: However, Adi, driven by a challenge from his classmates, wanted to prove his skills by smuggling this giant watermelon into their dorm room.

Id: "Rencananya sederhana," kata Adi sambil menggulirkan semangka itu pelan-pelan agar tak terlihat.
En: "The plan is simple," said Adi, slowly rolling the watermelon so it wouldn't be seen.

Id: "Kita pakai kardus besar ini. Kamu bawa, dan aku akan mengalihkan perhatian Pak Budi."
En: "We use this big box. You carry it, and I'll distract Pak Budi."

Id: Made mengangguk, meski hatinya berdebar. "Baik, aku di belakangmu."
En: Made nodded, although his heart was pounding. "Alright, I'm right behind you."

Id: Dengan langkah hati-hati, mereka menuju gedung asrama yang terbuat dari kayu kuno yang tetap kokoh meski sudah usang.
En: With cautious steps, they approached the dormitory building made of ancient wood that remained sturdy despite being old.

Id: Ruangannya luas tapi minimalis, tanpa banyak perabot.
En: The room was spacious yet minimalistic, without much furniture.

Id: Tepat saat mereka mendekat, terdengar suara Pak Budi dari kejauhan, membuat mereka terjingkat.
En: Just as they got close, they heard Pak Budi's voice from a distance, making them jump.

Id: "Ayo, cepat!" desis Adi.
En: "Hurry, quick!" whispered Adi.

Id: Made dengan sigap mengangkat kardus berisi semangka dan menyusul Adi, menyelinap masuk ke pintu belakang yang lebih jarang digunakan.
En: Made swiftly lifted the box containing the watermelon and followed Adi, sneaking in through the rarely used back door.

Id: Hampir sampai di kamar, tiba-tiba pintu terbuka lebar.
En: Almost at the room, suddenly the door swung open.

Id: Pak Budi berdiri di ambang pintu, memeriksa dengan cermat.
En: Pak Budi stood in the doorway, inspecting carefully.

Id: Jantung kedua anak itu serasa berhenti sejenak.
En: The hearts of the two boys seemed to stop for a moment.

Id: Namun, tak mau...
