Story Transcript:
Id: Di sebuah sudut ibu kota yang ramai, ada sebuah kedai kopi yang tenang, dengan interior kayu dan musik Indonesia yang lembut mengalun.
En: In a corner of the bustling ibu kota, there is a quiet coffee shop, with wooden interiors and soft Indonesian music playing.
Id: Aroma kopi yang baru diseduh memenuhi udara.
En: The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air.
Id: Di situ, Rina duduk di meja dekat jendela, menunggu sahabat lamanya, Adi.
En: There, Rina sits at a table near the window, waiting for her old friend, Adi.
Id: Sudah bertahun-tahun sejak mereka terakhir bertemu.
En: It has been years since they last met.
Id: Rina baru saja kembali ke Jakarta setelah beberapa tahun menetap di luar negeri.
En: Rina had just returned to Jakarta after spending several years living abroad.
Id: Dia merasa sedikit asing di tanah kelahirannya sendiri dan ingin kembali merasakan kehangatan persahabatan yang dulu.
En: She felt a bit like a stranger in her own birthplace and wanted to experience the warmth of old friendships again.
Id: Saat pintu kedai terbuka, suara bel kecil berdenting.
En: As the cafe door opened, the sound of a small bell chimed.
Id: Adi masuk dengan tergesa, mata menyapu ruangan, hingga akhirnya bertemu pandang dengan Rina.
En: Adi entered in a hurry, his eyes scanning the room until they locked eyes with Rina.
Id: Mereka tersenyum lebar, lalu berpelukan.
En: They exchanged wide smiles and then hugged.
Id: "Sudah lama sekali," kata Rina, sedikit tersenyum.
En: "It's been such a long time," Rina said, smiling slightly.
Id: "Memang, maafkan kesibukanku," jawab Adi, meletakkan tas kerjanya.
En: "Indeed, forgive my busyness," replied Adi, setting down his work bag.
Id: Dia seorang jurnalis yang tidak kenal waktu.
En: He was a journalist who knew no time.
Id: Mereka berbincang ringan, mengingat kenangan masa lalu.
En: They engaged in light conversation, reminiscing about past memories.
Id: Rina berbagi cerita tentang kehidupannya di luar negeri.
En: Rina shared stories about her life abroad.
Id: Ada banyak pengalaman baru yang ingin dia ceritakan.
En: There were many new experiences she wanted to talk about.
Id: Namun, perhatian Adi sering kali terpecah oleh pesan-pesan di ponselnya.
En: However, Adi's attention was often divided by messages on his phone.
Id: Rina menarik napas panjang.
En: Rina took a long breath.
Id: "Adi, aku ingin berbagi sesuatu yang penting.
En: "Adi, I want to share something important.
Id: Tentang perasaanku setelah lama di luar negeri," katanya.
En: About my feelings after being abroad for so long," she said.
Id: Tepat ketika Rina hendak mulai berbagi tentang pengalaman yang lebih dalam dan personal, ponsel Adi berdering nyaring.
En: Just as Rina was about to start sharing deeper and more personal experiences, Adi's phone rang loudly.
Id: Ada panggilan yang tidak bisa diabaikan.
En: There was a call he couldn't ignore.
Id: Wajah Adi terlihat bingung, terjepit antara tanggung jawab kerja dan pertemuan ini.
En: Adi's face looked confused, caught between work responsibilities and this meeting.
Id: "Maaf, ini penting," katanya, bangkit untuk menerima panggilan di luar.
En: "Sorry, this is important," he said, getting up to take the call outside.
Id: Rina duduk
