Id: Keramaian terasa dengan suara langkah kaki personel angkatan laut yang mengenakan seragam ceremonial.
En: The hustle and bustle were felt with the sound of footsteps from naval personnel wearing ceremonial uniforms.

Id: Kapal-kapal bersandar di pelabuhan, beristirahat sejenak setelah perjalanan jauh.

Id: Hari raya Idul Adha membuat banyak keluarga hadir, ingin bertemu anggota keluarga mereka yang berdinas di sana.
En: The Idul Adha holiday brought many families, eager to meet their family members serving there.

En: Rizki, who came from afar, had a clear purpose.

Id: Ia ingin mengejutkan dan merayakan Idul Adha bersama kakaknya yang bertugas di angkatan laut.
En: He wanted to surprise and celebrate Idul Adha with his brother who served in the navy.

Id: Namun, tidak mudah bagi Rizki untuk langsung masuk.

Id: Keamanan di pintu masuk ketat, ada peningkatan kewaspadaan.
En: Security at the entrance was tight, with heightened vigilance.

Id: Ia tidak memiliki izin masuk, dan beberapa kali ia ditolak.
En: He did not have entry clearance, and several times he was denied.

Id: "Maaf, Anda harus punya izin terdaftar," kata petugas keamanan dengan tegas.

En: Rizki did not give up.

Id: Ia menunjukkan surat dari saudaranya, mengungkapkan hubungan mereka.
En: He showed the letter from his brother, revealing their relationship.

Id: "Ini dari abangku," katanya sambil berharap.
En: "This is from my brother," he said hopefully.

Id: Petugas sempat ragu, namun melihat ketulusan dan kesabarannya, mereka meminta Rizki menunggu di luar.
En: The officer was hesitant, but seeing his sincerity and patience, they asked Rizki to wait outside.

Id: Waktu berlalu, matahari kian tinggi, tapi Rizki tetap menunggu.
En: Time passed, the sun climbed higher, but Rizki continued to wait.

Id: Selama ini, rasa kehilangan selalu menghantui ketika melihat saudara yang sibuk berdinas.
En: All this time, a sense of loss had always haunted him when he saw his brother busy with duty.

Id: Ia ingin menghidupkan lagi kenangan indah saat mereka kecil, merayakan hari raya bersama.

En: One of the officers, moved by Rizki's sincerity, granted him special permission to enter briefly.
