Id: Di lobi kantor yang modern, Rina berdiri dengan canggung sambil mengamati suasana di sekelilingnya.
En: In the modern office lobby, Rina stood awkwardly while observing the surroundings.
Id: Ruangan itu dipenuhi dengan orang-orang yang sibuk berjalan cepat, suara telepon berdering, dan percakapan ringan.
En: The room was filled with people briskly walking, the sound of ringing phones, and light conversations.
Id: Matahari musim semi bersinar terang melalui jendela-jendela kaca besar, membuat lantai marmer mengilap.
En: The spring sun shone brightly through the large glass windows, making the marble floor gleam.
Id: Rina baru saja dipindahkan ke kantor ini dari kota lain.
En: Rina had just been transferred to this office from another city.
Id: Semua tampak asing dan membuatnya merasa terasing.
En: Everything seemed unfamiliar and made her feel alienated.
Id: Di keramaian itu, dia berharap menemukan teman atau setidaknya seseorang untuk berbagi cerita sejenak.
En: In the crowd, she hoped to find a friend or at least someone to share a story with for a moment.
Id: Di saat yang sama, Adi masuk ke lobi dengan langkah terburu-buru.

En: Adi turned and gave a faint smile.
Id: "Iya, padahal biasanya sangat jarang rusak," jawabnya sambil menoleh ke arah pintu lift yang tertutup.
En: "Yes, it's usually very rarely broken," he replied while looking at the closed elevator doors.
Id: Setelah beberapa menit obrolan basa-basi, Rina menemukan bahwa mereka memiliki kesamaan dalam hal kopi.
En: After a few minutes of small talk, Rina discovered that they shared a common interest in coffee.
Id: "Sebenarnya aku baru pindah ke sini.
En: "Actually, I just moved here.
Id: Masih bingung mencari tempat kopi yang enak," katanya.
