Story Transcript:
Id: Di tengah hiruk pikuk perayaan Waisak di Candi Borobudur, Rina menyusuri jalan setapak yang dihiasi lampion.
En: Amidst the hustle and bustle of perayaan Waisak at Candi Borobudur, Rina walked along a path adorned with lanterns.
Id: Pemandangan megah candi tua, bercahaya lembut di bawah sinar bulan, menarik perhatiannya sejak lama.
En: The magnificent view of the ancient temple, softly illuminated under the moonlight, had drawn her attention for a long time.
Id: Ini pertama kalinya dia menginjakkan kaki di Borobudur.
En: This was her first time setting foot in Borobudur.
Id: Jiwa petualangnya merasa terpanggil oleh sejarah dan budaya tempat ini.
En: Her adventurous spirit felt called by the history and culture of this place.
Id: Dengan langkah riang, Adi memandu sekelompok wisatawan di sepanjang jalur yang sama.
En: With a cheerful step, Adi guided a group of tourists along the same pathway.
Id: Dia mengisahkan cerita-cerita yang terukir di dinding candi.
En: He narrated the stories carved on the temple walls.
Id: Budi, temannya, sesekali menyelipkan lelucon membuat semua orang tertawa.
En: Budi, his friend, occasionally slipped in jokes that made everyone laugh.
Id: Mereka berdua telah bekerja di sini bertahun-tahun.
En: The two of them had worked here for years.
Id: Namun bagi Adi, momen membimbing dan berbagi cerita tempat inilah yang membuatnya selalu kembali.
En: Yet for Adi, the moments of guiding and sharing stories of the place were what kept him coming back.
Id: Rina dan Adi tidak sengaja bertemu ketika mereka berhenti, menyimak suara alat musik gamelan yang merdu dimainkan.
En: Rina and Adi accidentally met when they stopped to listen to the melodious sound of a gamelan instrument being played.
Id: Senyuman cepat berganti sapa.
En: A smile quickly turned into a greeting.
Id: "Halo, saya Adi. Ini pertama kalinya di sini?" Adi bertanya dengan ramah.
En: "Hello, I'm Adi. Is this your first time here?" Adi asked warmly.
Id: "Iya, saya Rina,” balas Rina sambil tersipu. “Saya selalu ingin melihat Borobudur saat Waisak."
En: "Yes, I’m Rina," Rina replied shyly. "I have always wanted to see Borobudur during Waisak."
Id: Sepanjang hari, mereka berbicara tentang legenda candi, sejarah, dan makna Waisak yang dirayakan dengan khusyuk.
En: Throughout the day, they talked about the legends of the temple, history, and the meaning of Waisak, celebrated solemnly.
Id: Saat malam tiba, lampion-lampion mulai dilepaskan ke langit, mewarnai malam dengan keindahan yang tak terlukiskan.
En: As night fell, lanterns began to be released into the sky, coloring the night with indescribable beauty.
Id: Di bawah sinar bulan dan ribuan lampion yang melayang, Rina merasa damai.
En: Under the moonlight and thousands of floating lanterns, Rina felt at peace.
Id: Namun, di balik senyumnya, Rina menyimpan keraguan.
En: However, behind her smile, Rina harbored doubts.
Id: Kenangan lama akan cinta yang terluka menghantui pikirannya.
En: Old memories of a wounded love haunted her mind.
Id: Dia takut membuka hati meski hatinya ingin memahami lebih jauh.
En: She feared opening her heart even though her heart longed to understand further.
Id: Adi, merasa nyaman dengan Rina, menghadapi dilema berbeda.
En: Adi, feeling comfortable with Rina, faced a different dilemma.
