Story Transcript:
Id: Di tengah hiruk-pikuk Pangkalan Angkatan Laut Bali, Adi duduk di tepi dermaga, matanya menatap jauh ke arah laut biru yang tenang.
En: Amid the bustling Pangkalan Angkatan Laut Bali, Adi sat at the edge of the dock, his eyes gazing far into the calm blue sea.
Id: Hiruk pikuk di pelabuhan, dengan kapal-kapal angkatan laut yang berbaris megah di depan laut, memantulkan kesibukan yang tak ada henti.
En: The hustle and bustle at the harbor, with majestic naval ships lined up in front of the sea, reflected endless activity.
Id: Angin yang lembut membelai rambutnya saat pohon-pohon kelapa bergoyang perlahan di bawah langit yang cerah.
En: A gentle breeze caressed his hair as the coconut trees swayed slowly under the bright sky.
Id: Musim semi di Bali, dan udara terasa segar khas tropis.
En: It was spring in Bali, and the air felt refreshingly tropical.
Id: Adi, seorang perwira muda angkatan laut, sedang menunggu kabar tentang perbaikan kapalnya.
En: Adi, a young naval officer, was waiting for news about the repairs on his ship.
Id: Ia baru saja menyelesaikan liburannya di Bali dan sangat ingin segera kembali ke rumah.
En: He had just finished his vacation in Bali and was eager to return home.
Id: Kembali untuk menyambut keponakan perempuannya yang baru lahir.
En: He wanted to welcome his newly born niece.

Id: "Maaf, Adi.

En: The engine parts haven't arrived," said Budi, the engine technician whom Adi trusted.
Id: Budi menggelengkan kepala dengan penuh penyesalan.
En: Budi shook his head with full regret.
Id: Adi hanya bisa tersenyum pahit.
En: Adi could only manage a bitter smile.
Id: Sari, rekan kerjanya yang juga berada di pangkalan, datang mendekat.
En: Sari, his coworker who was also stationed at the base, approached him.
Id: "Adi, kenapa tidak coba cari penerbangan saja?
En: "Adi, why not try finding a flight?
Id: Aku dengar ada pesawat pagi besok yang mungkin ada kursi kosong," sarannya.
En: I heard there is a morning flight tomorrow that might have an empty seat," she suggested.
Id: Adi merenung.
En: Adi pondered.
Id: Sejenak, ia merasa galau.
En: For a moment, he felt conflicted.
Id: Apakah ia harus menunggu kapal selesai?
En: Should he wait for the ship to be ready?
Id: Atau sebaiknya mencoba keberuntungan dengan mencari penerbangan?
En: Or should he try his luck by looking for a flight?
Id: Hari menjelang sore ketika keputusan akhirnya muncul.
En: As the day turned to evening, a decision finally emerged.
Id: Adi memutuskan mencoba mencari penerbangan.
En: Adi decided to try finding a flight.
Id: Segera ia ke kantor maskapai di kota.
En: He immediately went to the airline office in the city.
Id: Beruntung, masih ada satu tempat tersedia pada penerbangan keesokan harinya.
En: Fortunately, there was still one seat available on the flight the
