Id: Dewi mendekatinya.
En: Dewi approached him.
Id: "Budi, terkadang jawaban ada di saat kita diam dan mendengar," katanya lembut.
En: "Budi, sometimes the answers come when we are silent and listening," she said gently.
Id: Malam tiba.
En: Night fell.
Id: Langit dipenuhi ribuan lentera yang melayang, menerangi tempat suci itu dengan cahaya lembut.
En: The sky was filled with thousands of floating lanterns, illuminating the sacred place with soft light.
Id: Dalam keheningan malam, dengan lantunan doa pelan sebagai latar, Budi merasa terpesona.
En: In the silence of the night, with the soft chant of prayers in the background, Budi felt captivated.
Id: Lentera-lentera itu mengingatkannya pada harapan yang terbang tinggi meninggalkan beban di bawah.
En: Those lanterns reminded him of hopes soaring high, leaving burdens behind.
Id: Di saat itu, semua ragu-ragu terasa hilang.
En: At that moment, all doubts seemed to vanish.
Id: Hatinya damai.
En: His heart was at peace.
Id: Tanpa sadar, air mata jatuh.
En: Unbeknownst to him, tears fell.
Id: Ia tiba-tiba merasa bagian dari sesuatu yang lebih besar, rasa terhubung dengan leluhur dan keluarganya.
En: He suddenly felt part of something bigger, a sense of connection with his ancestors and family.
Id: "Terima kasih telah membawa kami ke sini, Dewi," kata Budi kepada sanak tetua itu sambil tersenyum penuh damai.
En: "Thank you for bringing us here, Dewi," said Budi to the elderly relative with a peaceful smile.
Id: Dewi menepuk bahunya, "Kedamaian ada dalam hatimu, Budi.
En: Dewi patted his shoulder, "Peace is within your heart, Budi.
Id: Kita hanya perlu membantumu menemukannya.
En: We just needed to help you find it."
Id: "Setelah perayaan usai, Budi merasakan kehidupan baru.
En: After the celebration was over, Budi felt a new life.
