Story Transcript:

Id: Langit biru menghampar tanpa awan di atas Candi Borobudur.
En: The blue sky stretched above Borobudur Temple without a cloud in sight.

Id: Tempat ini ramai dengan siswa-siswi yang bersemangat, termasuk Asih, Budi, dan Sari.
En: The place was bustling with enthusiastic students, including Asih, Budi, and Sari, as they participated in a school field trip.

Id: Udara hangat musim kemarau menyelimuti mereka.
En: The warm dry season air enveloped them.

Id: Asih berjalan dengan penuh semangat.
En: Asih walked with excitement.

Id: Dia penasaran dengan sejarah candi ini.
En: She was curious about the temple's history.

Id: Buku sejarah di sekolah tak pernah cukup baginya.
En: The history books at school were never enough for her.

Id: Dia ingin menemukan cerita tersembunyi dari masa lampau.
En: She longed to uncover hidden stories from the past.

Id: Budi, temannya, lebih suka mengetahui fakta dan angka dari pemandu wisata.
En: Her friend, Budi, preferred learning facts and figures from the tour guide.

Id: Sedangkan Sari sibuk menggambar sketsa relief-relief yang indah.
En: Meanwhile, Sari was busy drawing sketches of the beautiful reliefs.

Id: Kelompok mereka mengikuti pemandu.
En: Their group followed the guide.

Id: Pemandu berbicara cepat, menjelaskan bagian demi bagian candi.
En: The guide spoke quickly, explaining the temple part by part.

Id: Namun, Asih merasa kecewa.

Id: “Budi, ayo kita jalan-jalan sedikit ke sana,” bisik Asih kepada Budi.
En: “Budi, let's walk over there for a bit,” Asih whispered to Budi.

Id: “Tapi kita harus tetap dengan kelompok,” jawab Budi ragu.
En: “But we have to stay with the group,” Budi replied hesitantly.

Id: Sari melihat sekeliling, diam-diam dia juga tertarik.

Id: Akhirnya, Asih dan Sari sepakat.
En: Finally, Asih and Sari agreed.

Id: “Ayo, sebentar saja,” bujuk Asih.
En: “Come on, just for a moment,” Asih coaxed.

Id: Budi bimbang.
En: Budi hesitated.

Id: Tetapi melihat kedua temannya, dia pun mengalah dan ikut.
En: But seeing his two friends, he relented and joined them.

Id: Mereka berbelok ke area yang lebih sepi.
En: They turned into a quieter area.

Id: Di sana, sebuah inskripsi tua tertutup tanaman merambat.
En: There, an old inscription was covered with vines.

Id: Asih tertarik.
En: Asih was intrigued.

Id: “Kita harus tahu ini apa,” gumam Asih penuh tekad.
En: “We have to find out what this is,” Asih murmured with determination.

En: Budi helped clear the plants covering...
