Story Transcript:
Id: Ratri berdiri di tepi pelataran Candi Borobudur, mengamati arus orang yang datang untuk merayakan peringatan Buddha.
En: Ratri stood at the edge of the courtyard of Candi Borobudur, observing the flow of people arriving to celebrate the Buddhist commemoration.
Id: Lampion berkilauan dalam cahaya lembut matahari sore, menciptakan suasana damai.
En: Lanterns shimmered in the gentle light of the late afternoon sun, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Id: Aroma dupa mengisi udara, menemani nyanyian alam dari cengkerik di hutan sekitar.
En: The aroma of incense filled the air, accompanied by the natural chorus of crickets in the surrounding forest.
Id: Tidak jauh darinya, Bagus berdiri tegak, pandangannya menerawang ke puncak candi.
En: Not far from her, Bagus stood upright, his gaze lost on the temple's peak.
Id: Sudah bertahun-tahun mereka tidak bertemu, sejak perdebatan keluarga yang menyisakan luka mendalam di hati masing-masing.
En: It had been years since they last met, following a family dispute that left deep scars in both their hearts.
Id: Namun, di bawah naungan candi, ada harapan samar bahwa kebetulan ini mungkin membawa sesuatu yang baik.
En: Yet, under the temple's shadow, there was a faint hope that this coincidence might bring something good.
Id: Ratri merasakan detak jantungnya semakin cepat.
En: Ratri felt her heartbeat quickening.
Id: Dia ingin mendekati Bagus, namun keraguan melingkupi.
En: She wanted to approach Bagus, but doubt surrounded her.
Id: Dia bertanya-tanya apakah Bagus masih menyimpan kemarahan atas apa yang terjadi di masa lalu.
En: She wondered if Bagus still harbored anger over what happened in the past.
Id: Tapi ia tahu, inilah saatnya untuk jujur dan membuka diri.
En: But she knew, it was time to be honest and open up.
Id: "Bagus," panggilnya dengan suara pelan namun jelas.
En: "Bagus," she called softly yet clearly.
Id: Bagus menoleh, matanya bertemu dengan kakaknya.
En: Bagus turned, his eyes meeting his sister's.
Id: Ada keheningan aneh yang menyelimuti mereka sejenak.
En: There was a strange silence enveloping them for a moment.
Id: "Apa yang mau kamu bicarakan, Ratri?
En: "What do you want to talk about, Ratri?"
Id: " tanyanya, suaranya dingin.
En: he asked, his voice cold.
Id: Ratri menarik napas panjang.
En: Ratri took a deep breath.
Id: "Aku ingin berbicara tentang Ibu," katanya, seraya mengingat secercah kenangan yang selama ini terpendam rapi.
En: "I want to talk about Ibu," she said, as she recalled a flicker of memories carefully buried until now.
Id: "Ingat ketika Ibu membawa kita ke sini saat masih kecil?
En: "Remember when Ibu brought us here when we were little?
Id: Dia bilang, Borobudur adalah tempat yang istimewa.
En: She said, Borobudur is a special place.
Id: Tempat untuk menemukan kedamaian.
En: A place to find peace."
Id: "Bagus hanya diam, namun sorot matanya mulai melembut.
En: Bagus remained silent, but the look in his eyes began to soften.
Id: "Aku tahu kita pernah mengalami saat-saat sulit," lanjut Ratri.
En: "I know we've been through tough times," Ratri continued.
Id: "Tapi aku berharap kita bisa memperbaiki semuanya.
En: "But I hope we can mend everything.
Id: Demi menghormati keinginan Ibu.
En: In honor of Ibu's wishes."
