Story Transcript:
Id: Di tengah heningnya matahari musim panas di Ubud, Dewi mengarahkan para peserta retret untuk masuk dalam sesi meditasi.
En: In the midst of the quiet summer sun in Ubud, Dewi directed the retreat participants to enter a meditation session.
Id: Di sekeliling mereka, pemandangan sawah menghijau terbentang, sementara pohon beringin menjulang tinggi di angkasa.
En: Around them, green rice fields stretched out, while banyan trees towered high in the sky.
Id: Aroma kemenyan menguar lembut di udara, bercampur suara gamelan yang samar-samar terdengar dari kejauhan.
En: The aroma of incense wafted gently in the air, mixed with the faint sound of gamelan music coming from a distance.
Id: Dewi, seorang instruktur yoga yang penuh semangat, menginginkan kesuksesan retret ini.
En: Dewi, an enthusiastic yoga instructor, wanted this retreat to be a success.
Id: Ia ingin setiap peserta menemukan kedamaian dan pencerahan batin.
En: She wanted every participant to find peace and inner enlightenment.
Id: Namun, ketenangan itu tiba-tiba terpecah saat suara misterius menggema di tanah retret.
En: However, the tranquility was suddenly shattered when a mysterious sound echoed on the retreat grounds.
Id: Suara itu, seperti dentungan logam yang dalam, membuat semua peserta terkejut dan takut.
En: The sound, like the deep tolling of metal, startled and frightened all the participants.

En: Dewi knew she had to act, even though fear crept into her mind.
Id: Sejenak, pandangannya bertemu dengan Ayu, peserta yang baru saja kehilangan orang tercinta.
En: For a moment, her gaze met with Ayu, a participant who had just lost a loved one.
Id: Mata Ayu memancarkan harapan untuk menemukan jawaban.
En: Ayu's eyes radiated hope for finding answers.
Id: Dewi memutuskan untuk menyelidiki suara tersebut bersama Putra.
En: Dewi decided to investigate the sound together with Putra.
Id: Ayu bersikeras ingin ikut.
En: Ayu insisted on joining.
Id: “Aku merasa suara itu berhubungan dengan apa yang kucari selama ini,” ujarnya.
En: “I feel this sound is connected to what I've been searching for all this time,” she said.
Id: Mereka berkelana menyusuri sudut-sudut retret yang jarang dijamah.
En: They ventured through the rarely traversed corners of the retreat.
Id: Semakin dalam mereka menyusup ke balik pepohonan, suasana terasa semakin magis.
En: The deeper they delved into the foliage, the more magical the atmosphere felt.
Id: Hingga akhirnya, di tengah-tengah dedaunan lebat dan tanaman merambat, mereka menemukan menara lonceng tua.
En: Until finally, amidst thick leaves and creeping plants, they found an old bell tower.
Id: Menara ini terkubur dalam sunyi, seakan menanti untuk ditemukan.

Id: “Lonceng ini,” kata Putra s
