Story Transcript:

Id: Langit di atas Candi Borobudur mulai diselimuti oleh awan gelap.
En: The sky above Candi Borobudur began to be covered by dark clouds.

Id: Adi dan Sari berdiri di halaman candi, memandang takjub pada struktur kuno yang megah itu.
En: Adi and Sari stood in the courtyard of the temple, gazing in awe at the magnificent ancient structure.

Id: Namun, hati mereka dipenuhi kegelisahan.
En: However, their hearts were filled with unease.

Id: Mereka ada di sana untuk sebuah misi penting.
En: They were there for an important mission.

Id: "Sari, kita harus menemukan amulet nenekku," kata Adi dengan penuh tekad.
En: "Sari, we must find my grandmother's amulet," said Adi with determination.

Id: Sari mengangguk, meskipun di dalam hatinya ada rasa takut.
En: Sari nodded, though deep down, she felt afraid.

Id: Dia tidak suka petir, dan awan gelap itu membuatnya tidak nyaman.
En: She didn't like lightning, and those dark clouds made her uncomfortable.

Id: Adi dan Sari mulai menyusuri area di sekitar candi.
En: Adi and Sari began to explore the area around the temple.

Id: Mereka ingat bahwa amulet itu mungkin jatuh di antara rimbunnya tanaman hijau yang mengelilingi candi.
En: They remembered that the amulet might have fallen among the lush greenery surrounding the temple.

Id: Tak lama, hujan mulai turun dengan deras.
En: Soon, the rain began to pour heavily.

Id: Jalan setapak menjadi licin, dan Sari mulai gemetar ketika guruh bergemuruh di kejauhan.
En: The path became slippery, and Sari started to tremble as thunder rumbled in the distance.

Id: "Sari, aku tahu kamu takut.
En: "Sari, I know you're scared.

Id: Tapi kita sudah dekat," ucap Adi sambil menenangkan Sari.
En: But we're close," said Adi, trying to reassure Sari.

Id: Dia memegang erat tangan Sari, memberikan keberanian dalam cuaca yang menakutkan itu.
En: He held Sari's hand tightly, giving her courage in the frightening weather.

Id: Setiap kilatan petir membuat Sari semakin tegang, tetapi Adi terus meyakinkannya.
En: Every flash of lightning made Sari more tense, but Adi kept encouraging her.

Id: "Kamu bisa, Sari.
En: "You can do it, Sari.

Id: Kita harus fokus mencari landmark yang kamu ingat.
En: We must focus on finding the landmark you remember."

Id: "Mereka terus berjalan, hingga tiba-tiba sebuah kilat menyambar pohon terdekat, membuat Sari terkejut dan hampir jatuh.
En: They kept walking until suddenly a lightning bolt struck a nearby tree, startling Sari and causing her to almost fall.

Id: Adi dengan cepat memeluk Sari, melindunginya dari rasa takut yang menguasai.
En: Adi quickly hugged Sari, shielding her from the fear that overwhelmed her.

Id: Setelah beberapa saat, Sari mulai tenang.
En: After a moment, Sari calmed down.

Id: Dia menarik napas panjang dan mulai mengamati sekeliling.
En: She took a deep breath and began to observe her surroundings.

Id: Dengan matanya yang tajam, Sari melihat sesuatu berkilau di bawah tumpukan daun basah.
En: With her sharp eyes, Sari spotted something glistening beneath a pile of wet leaves.

Id: "Itu dia, Adi," seru Sari, menunjuk.
En: "There it is, Adi," exclaimed Sari, pointing.

Id: Adi bergegas menuju tempat itu dan menemukan amulet emas yang mereka cari.
En: Adi rushed to the spot and found the golden amulet they were searching for.

Id: Rasa lega membanjiri mereka berdua.
En: A sense of relief flooded over both of them.

Id: Mereka duduk di bawah lengkungan candi yang kokoh, berlindung dari sisa hujan yang menyisakan gerimis.
En: They sat under the sturdy arch of the temple, sheltering from the lingering drizzle.

Id: Adi memegang amulet itu dengan lembut, seolah memegang kenangan manis dari neneknya.
En: Adi held the amulet gently, as if holding sweet memories of his grandmother.

Id: "Terima kasih, Sari," kata Adi.
En: "Thank you, Sari," said Adi.

Id: "Aku tidak bisa melakukannya tanpamu.
En: "I couldn't have done it without you."

Id: "Sari tersenyum, perasaan takutnya mulai sirna digantikan oleh kebahagiaan telah membantu temannya.
En: Sari smiled, her fear beginning to fade, replaced by the happiness of having helped her friend.

Id: "Kamu membuatku lebih berani, Adi.
En: "You made me braver, Adi."

Id: "Meski cuaca telah menantang mereka, pengalaman itu memperkuat persahabatan mereka.
En: Although the weather had challenged them, the experience strengthened their friendship.
