Id: Di tengah cahaya matahari sore yang lembut, Taman Suropati menjadi tempat pertemuan bagi mereka yang mencari hiburan sederhana di Jakarta.
En: In the soft afternoon sunlight, Taman Suropati becomes a meeting place for those seeking simple entertainment in Jakarta.
Id: Jalan setapak di taman itu dipenuhi pepohonan tinggi yang memberikan keteduhan dari sinar matahari yang terik di musim kemarau.
En: The paths in the park are lined with tall trees providing shade from the harsh sunlight in the dry season.
Id: Adi berdiri gelisah di sudut taman.
En: Adi stood anxiously at the corner of the park.
Id: Dia pemilik toko buku yang pendiam, baru saja mengalami putus cinta.
En: He was a quiet bookstore owner who had just gone through a breakup.
Id: Namun, berkat dorongan dari temannya, Budi, Adi memutuskan untuk menghadiri konser malam di taman ini.
En: However, thanks to encouragement from his friend, Budi, Adi decided to attend an evening concert in this park.
Id: Harapan Budi, mungkin di sini Adi bisa bertemu seseorang yang menyukai sastra sama seperti dirinya.
En: Budi's hope was that perhaps here Adi could meet someone who liked literature as much as he did.
Id: Orang-orang mulai berkumpul di sekitar panggung.
En: People began to gather around the stage.
Id: Ada yang duduk di atas selimut penuh warna, menikmati sore sambil bercengkerama.
En: Some were sitting on colorful blankets, enjoying the afternoon while chatting.
Id: Sementara itu, anak-anak berlarian, tertawa riang, suara mereka berpadu dengan alunan musik yang mulai terdengar.
En: Meanwhile, children were running around, laughing joyfully, their voices mingling with the music that started to play.
Id: Di sisi lain taman, Siti berdiri dengan penuh semangat.
En: On the other side of the park, Siti stood with excitement.
Id: Dia adalah penggemar musik yang selalu bersemangat menghadiri konser terbuka untuk menemukan band baru.
En: She was a music enthusiast always eager to attend open-air concerts to discover new bands.
Id: Ketika band memulai lagu yang tidak dikenal, Siti memperhatikan sosok Adi yang berdiri sendirian.
En: When the band started an unfamiliar song, Siti noticed Adi standing alone.
Id: Penasaran dengan kesendiriannya, Siti mendekat.

Id: " tanya Siti dengan senyum lebar.
En: Siti asked with a wide smile.
Id: Adi terkejut, tetapi dia mengangguk pelan.

En: "Their lyrics are good," he said briefly, hoping not to end the conversation there.
Id: Percakapan mereka mengalir dengan mudah.
En: Their conversation flowed easily.
Id: Mereka berbicara tentang lagu, band, dan segera beralih ke buku favorit mereka.

Id: "Bolehkah kita bertemu lagi?

Id: "Tentu, aku akan senang," jawabnya.
En: "Sure, I'd love that," she replied.
