Id: Mereka berhenti di tepi, melepaskan sejenak beban di bahu.
En: They stopped by the edge, momentarily releasing the burden on their shoulders.
Id: Di sini, ketegangan memuncak.
En: Here, the tension peaked.
Id: "Kenapa kita harus ke sini sekarang?
En: "Why do we have to come here now?"
Id: " tanya Budi frustrasi.
En: asked Budi in frustration.
Id: "Apa tidak ada cara lain untuk menghormati mereka?
En: "Isn't there another way to honor them?"
Id: "Arif menghela napas panjang.
En: Arif sighed deeply.
Id: "Ini bukan soal cara," katanya lirih.
En: "It's not about the way," he said softly.
Id: "Ini tentang siapa kita, dari mana kita berasal.
En: "It's about who we are, where we come from.
Id: Orang tua kita ingin kita tahu itu, dan aku ingin kita melakukan ini bersama.
En: Our parents wanted us to know that, and I want us to do this together."
Id: "Keheningan menyelimuti mereka.
En: Silence enveloped them.
Id: Dewi akhirnya berbicara, "Dan kita memang bersama-samakan sekarang?
