Story Transcript:
Id: Dewi melihat jam dinding di ruang tamu.
En: Dewi looked at the wall clock in the living room.
Id: Waktu sudah menunjukkan pukul 16.30 WIB.
En: The time already showed 16:30 WIB.
Id: Di luar, matahari bersinar terik, mengiringi musim kemarau di Jakarta.
En: Outside, the sun was shining brightly, accompanying the dry season in Jakarta.
Id: Hari ini, dia merencanakan sesuatu yang spesial untuk Budi.
En: Today, she planned something special for Budi.
Id: Budi, sahabat dekatnya, akan berangkat ke Singapura untuk pekerjaan barunya minggu depan.
En: Budi, her close friend, will be leaving for Singapore for his new job next week.
Id: Dewi sudah menyiapkan semua.
En: Dewi had already prepared everything.
Id: Balon dan spanduk sudah tertata rapi di restoran kecil di pinggiran Jakarta.
En: Balloons and banners were neatly arranged in a small restaurant on the outskirts of Jakarta.
Id: Lokasi itu dipilih karena suasananya yang nyaman dan dekat dengan rumah Budi.
En: The location was chosen because of its comfortable atmosphere and proximity to Budi’s house.
Id: Namun, satu tantangan besar di depannya: mengatur perjalanan melintasi kemacetan parah di Jakarta saat jam sibuk.
En: However, a big challenge lay ahead: navigating through the severe traffic jams in Jakarta during rush hour.
Id: Di tengah deru mesin dan klakson mobil, Dewi berusaha tetap tenang.
En: Amidst the roar of engines and car horns, Dewi tried to stay calm.
Id: Sambil mengendarai mobilnya, dia memeriksa GPS.
En: While driving, she checked her GPS.
Id: Rute yang biasa dia lalui sudah merah menyala, menandakan kemacetan panjang.
En: The route she usually took was glowing red, indicating a long traffic jam.
Id: Tanpa ragu, Dewi memilih rute alternatif yang disarankan aplikasi.
En: Without hesitation, Dewi chose the alternative route suggested by the app.
Id: "Tolong, Ika, buat Budi tetap di kantor sedikit lebih lama," pesan Dewi kepada Ika via telepon.
En: "Please, Ika, keep Budi at the office a bit longer," Dewi messaged Ika via phone.
Id: Ika, rekan kerja Budi dan konspirator rahasia Dewi, langsung mengiyakan.
En: Ika, Budi’s coworker and Dewi’s secret conspirator, immediately agreed.
Id: "Sebentar lagi dia selesai. Aku akan cari alasan," jawab Ika dengan sigap.
En: "He’ll be finished soon. I’ll find an excuse," Ika responded promptly.
Id: Hujan tiba-tiba turun, seperti tantangan tambahan yang harus Dewi hadapi.
En: Suddenly, rain started pouring down, like an additional challenge Dewi had to face.
Id: "Kenapa hujan turun di musim kemarau?" gumam Dewi sambil melewati genangan air yang mulai memenuhi jalan.
En: "Why is it raining in the dry season?" Dewi muttered while passing through puddles beginning to fill the road.
Id: Meski demikian, rute alternatif ini ternyata efektif.
En: Nevertheless, this alternative route turned out to be effective.
Id: Sedikit demi sedikit, dia mendekati lokasi restoran.
En: Little by little, she got closer to the restaurant location.
Id: Di kantor, Ika melakukan segala cara untuk menahan Budi.
En: At the office, Ika did everything she could to stall Budi.
Id: Mulai dari pura-pura meminta bantuan hingga mengajak Budi diskusi tentang proyek baru.
En: From pretending to ask for help to inviting Budi to discuss a new project.
Id: "Sebentar lagi selesai, kok," Ika terus berbisik pada dirinya sendiri, berharap Dewi bisa sampai tepat waktu.
En: "Almost done," Ika kept whispering to herself, hoping Dewi could arrive on time.
Id: Akhirnya, setelah hampir satu jam, Dewi tiba di restoran.
En: Finally, after almost an hour, Dewi arrived at the restaurant.
Id: Para tamu sudah mulai berdatangan dan mencari posisi masing-masing, sambil menunggu momen kejutan itu.
En: Guests had already started arriving and were finding their spots, waiting for the surprise moment.
Id: "Semua siap?" tanya Dewi kepada para tamu.
En: "Is everyone ready?" Dewi asked the guests.
Id: Mereka mengangguk sambil bersiap mematikan lampu untuk kejutan.
En: They nodded while preparing to turn off the lights for the surprise.
Id: Tak lama kemudian, Ika tiba bersama Budi.
En: Not long after, Ika arrived with Budi.
Id: "Kenapa tempat ini gelap?" Budi bertanya, bingung.
En: "Why is this place dark?" Budi asked, confused.
Id: Tepat saat dia masuk, lampu menyala, diikuti teriakan serentak, "Surprise!"
En: Just as he walked in, the lights came on, followed by a chorus of shouts, "Surprise!"
Id: Budi terdiam, tersenyum lebar, dan matanya berkaca-kaca.
En: Budi froze, grinned widely, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Id: "Wow, kalian benar-benar membuatku terkejut," katanya, menatap Dewi dan Ika dengan penuh rasa terima kasih.
En: "Wow, you really surprised me," he said, looking at Dewi and Ika with deep gratitude.
Id: Sore itu, suasana penuh kehangatan dan tawa.
En: That afternoon, the atmosphere was full of warmth and laughter.
Id: Meski perjalanan penuh tantangan, Dewi merasa semua usaha terbayar.
En: Despite the challenging journey, Dewi felt all the effort was worth it.
Id: Dia melihat Budi menikmati malam itu, dan rasa syukur memenuhi hatinya.
En: She saw Budi enjoying the night, and a feeling of gratitude filled her heart.
Id: Dewi sadar, merancang momen berharga seperti ini untuk orang-orang terkasih jauh lebih berarti dari semua kesulitan yang dihadapinya.
En: Dewi realized that creating precious moments like this for loved ones means far more than all the difficulties she faced.
Id: "Budi, kami akan merindukanmu," Dewi berbisik di akhir malam itu, saat mereka berfoto bersama sebagai kenang-kenangan perpisahan yang tak terlupakan.
En: "Budi, we will miss you," Dewi whispered at the end of the night as they took photos together as a keepsake of an unforgettable farewell.
