Story Transcript:
Id: Hujan deras mengguyur kawasan Sudirman Central Business District di Jakarta.
En: Heavy rain poured over the Sudirman Central Business District area in Jakarta.
Id: Gedung-gedung tinggi berkilau diterpa cahaya neon, sementara di dalam salah satu sekolah menengah atas yang megah, Dewi dan Bintang sibuk mempersiapkan diri untuk kompetisi robotik esok hari.
En: The tall buildings shimmered in the neon light, while inside one of the grand high schools, Dewi and Bintang were busy preparing for the robotics competition the next day.
Id: Dewi duduk membungkuk di depan komputernya, matanya fokus pada robot yang sudah mereka bangun selama bulan-bulan terakhir.
En: Dewi sat hunched over her computer, her eyes focused on the robot they had built over the past few months.
Id: Suara hujan menambah suasana tegang di ruangan yang penuh dengan alat-alat elektronik dan kabel yang bertebaran.
En: The sound of the rain added to the tense atmosphere in the room full of electronic tools and scattered cables.
Id: Bintang berdiri di sampingnya, memegang selembar kertas penuh catatan.
En: Bintang stood beside her, holding a sheet of paper full of notes.
Id: "Dewi, kita harus periksa semua bagian lagi.
En: "Dewi, we should check all the parts again.
Id: Mungkin ada yang terlewat," kata Bintang dengan suara lembut.
En: We might have missed something," said Bintang softly.
Id: Dewi mengangguk, walau dalam hatinya ia ragu.
En: Dewi nodded, although she harbored doubts in her heart.
Id: Ia merasa bahwa masalah ini bisa diatasi olehnya sendiri.
En: She felt that this issue could be resolved on her own.
Id: Namun, tak lama, rasa frustasi mulai menyeruak.
En: However, soon frustration began to surface.
Id: Robot itu tidak mau bergerak sesuai program.
En: The robot would not move according to the program.
Id: Dewi mendesah berat.
En: Dewi sighed heavily.
Id: "Kenapa susah sekali?
En: "Why is this so difficult?!"
Id: " gumamnya.
En: she muttered.
Id: Melihat temannya kesulitan, Bintang mencoba memberi saran, "Mungkin kita bisa minta teman-teman tim lain membantu.
En: Seeing her friend struggling, Bintang tried to offer a suggestion, "Maybe we can ask the other team members for help.
Id: Mereka pasti punya ide.
En: They surely have ideas."
Id: "Dewi terdiam sejenak.
En: Dewi paused for a moment.
Id: Dia tahu dia keras kepala, tetapi kali ini kepentingan tim lebih utama.
En: She knew she was stubborn, but this time the team's interests were more important.
Id: Akhirnya, dia berkata dengan suara pelan, "Baiklah.
En: Finally, she said in a soft voice, "Alright.
Id: Ayo kita kerja sama malam ini.
En: Let's work together tonight."
Id: "Pukul menunjukkan jam sembilan malam, dan hujan semakin deras.
En: The clock showed nine o'clock at night, and the rain grew heavier.
Id: Anggota tim berkumpul di laboratorium.
En: Team members gathered in the laboratory.
Id: Satu per satu, mereka mulai memeriksa setiap komponen robot.
En: One by one, they began checking each component of the robot.
Id: Rahmat, salah satu anggota tim, menemukan kabel yang longgar.
En: Rahmat, one of the team members, found a loose cable.
Id: Sementara Sita, dengan cermat, menemukan bug dalam program.
En: Meanwhile, Sita, meticulously, discovered a bug in the program.
Id: Waktu terus berjalan, dan energi mulai menurun.
En: Time kept ticking, and energy began to wane.
Id: Tetapi dengan semangat kebersamaan, mereka berhasil mengatasi semua masalah satu per satu.
En: But with team spirit, they managed to solve all the problems one by one.
Id: Akhirnya, saat jarum jam mendekati tengah malam, Bintang menekan sebuah tombol merpati perak mereka—robot itu bergerak sempurna.
En: Finally, as the clock's hand approached midnight, Bintang pressed the button on their silver dove—the robot moved perfectly.
Id: Sorakan gembira memenuhi ruangan, mengalahkan suara derasnya hujan di luar.
En: Cheers of joy filled the room, drowning out the sound of the pouring rain outside.
Id: Dewi tersenyum lebar, rasa bangga bercampur lega menyelimuti.
En: Dewi smiled broadly, pride mixed with relief enveloping her.
Id: "Tanpa kalian, mungkin kita tak akan bisa sampai sejauh ini," ucapnya tulus.
En: "Without you all, we might not have come this far," she said sincerely.
Id: Keesokan harinya, cuaca sedikit lebih cerah ketika lomba dimulai.

En: Now she was more open and ready to accept input from others.
Id: Cerita berakhir ketika hujan sore kembali membasahi Jakarta.
En: The story ends as the afternoon rain again drenched Jakarta.
