Story Transcript:
Id: Hujan deras membasahi permukiman modern di pinggiran kota Bandung.
En: Heavy rain drenched the modern settlement on the outskirts of Bandung city.
Id: Awan gelap menggantung rendah, seakan-akan siap menuangkan lebih banyak air ke bumi.
En: Dark clouds hung low, as if ready to pour more water onto the earth.
Id: Rumah-rumah tradisional berdampingan dengan apartemen modern di daerah ini, menciptakan pemandangan unik di tengah subur hijau yang senantiasa segar pada musim hujan.
En: Traditional houses stood alongside modern apartments in this area, creating a unique scenery amidst the lush green that always remains fresh during the rainy season.
Id: Rizki berdiri di halaman rumahnya yang digenangi air.
En: Rizki stood in his waterlogged yard.
Id: Ia menghela napas panjang sambil memandang ke arah genteng yang bocor, seraya merenungkan pilihan-pilihan yang ada.
En: He took a deep breath while looking at the leaking roof, pondering the options available.
Id: Dengan penghasilan yang pas-pasan, tak ada banyak uang tersisa untuk perbaikan besar.
En: With a modest income, there wasn’t much money left for major repairs.
Id: Namun, ia tahu bahwa sesuatu harus dilakukan.
En: However, he knew something had to be done.
Id: Sari keluar dari rumah, berusaha tetap tersenyum meski di dalam hatinya ia cemas.
En: Sari came out of the house, trying to keep a smile despite her inner worries.
Id: Bukan hanya soal genteng yang bocor, tetapi juga keselamatan putri kecil mereka, Aisyah.
En: It wasn’t just about the leaking roof, but also the safety of their little daughter, Aisyah.
Id: "Kita akan baik-baik saja, Ki," katanya lembut pada suaminya, meski ia sendiri bertanya-tanya seberapa lama mereka bisa bertahan.
En: "We’ll be okay, Ki," she said softly to her husband, even though she wondered how long they could hold on.
Id: Rizki mencoba memperbaiki genteng dengan alat seadanya.
En: Rizki attempted to fix the roof with makeshift tools.
Id: Ketika hujan turun lebih deras, ia semakin gelisah.
En: As the rain fell harder, he grew more anxious.
Id: Sementara itu, Sari memiliki ide lain.
En: Meanwhile, Sari had another idea.
Id: Ia memutuskan untuk mengajak tetangga berkumpul, berbagi kekhawatiran sekaligus mencari solusi.
En: She decided to gather the neighbors, share concerns, and seek solutions.
Id: Sari yakin, bersama komunitas, mereka bisa menghadapi masalah ini.
En: Sari believed that with the community, they could face this challenge.
Id: Ketika sore menjelang, hujan malah bertambah lebat.
En: As evening approached, the rain only got heavier.
Id: Gemuruh air jatuh dari langit membuat Sari dan Rizki semakin resah.
En: The roar of water falling from the sky made Sari and Rizki more uneasy.
Id: Air mulai masuk ke rumah, menyeret lumpur bersamanya.
En: Water began to enter the house, dragging mud along with it.
Id: Di luar, para tetangga berkumpul dengan payung dan jas hujan, siaga membantu.
En: Outside, the neighbors gathered with umbrellas and raincoats, ready to help.
Id: "Cepat!" teriak salah satu tetangga, Pak Andi, yang membawa sekop.
En: "Quick!" shouted one of the neighbors, Pak Andi, who brought a shovel.
Id: "Kita harus membuat saluran sementara untuk airnya," tambahnya.
En: "We need to make a temporary channel for the water," he added.
