Story Transcript:

Id: Borobudur pagi itu basah karena hujan semalam.
En: Borobudur that morning was wet due to the rain from the night before.

Id: Kabut tipis melayang perlahan, memberi aura misterius pada candi yang megah.
En: A thin mist drifted slowly, giving a mysterious aura to the magnificent temple.

Id: Adi menggenggam catatan yang dibawanya.
En: Adi clutched the notes he brought.

Id: "Hari ini aku akan mengungkap semua rahasia Borobudur," pikirnya.
En: "Today, I will uncover all the secrets of Borobudur," he thought.

Id: Adi dan Rina, kakaknya, datang untuk merayakan Maulid Nabi sekaligus belajar dari sejarah candi ini.
En: Adi and Rina, his sister, came to celebrate Maulid Nabi as well as to learn from the history of this temple.

Id: "Adi, jangan terlalu memaksakan diri," kata Rina, khawatir karena tahu adiknya mengidap asma.
En: "Adi, don't push yourself too hard," said Rina, worried because she knew her brother had asthma.

Id: "Malam ini kita punya banyak waktu, Rina," jawab Adi semangat.
En: "We have plenty of time tonight, Rina," replied Adi excitedly.

Id: Bayu, seorang pemandu lokal, menyambut mereka.
En: Bayu, a local guide, greeted them.

Id: "Halo, perkenalkan, saya Bayu.
En: "Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Bayu.

Id: Saya akan menemani kalian berkeliling hari ini.
En: I will accompany you around today."

Id: "Bayu mulai bercerita tentang sejarah candi.
En: Bayu began to tell the story of the temple's history.

Id: Adi mendengarkan dengan antusias, mencatat setiap detail.
En: Adi listened enthusiastically, noting every detail.

Id: Rina memperhatikan langit yang mendung, berharap hujan tidak akan turun lagi.
En: Rina watched the cloudy sky, hoping it wouldn't rain again.

Id: Saat mereka menaiki anak tangga, Adi mulai terengah-engah.
En: As they climbed the steps, Adi started to pant.

Id: Udara lembap membuatnya sulit bernapas.
En: The humid air made it difficult for him to breathe.

Id: Rina memandang Adi dengan cemas.
En: Rina looked at Adi with concern.

Id: "Adi, kita harus istirahat," usulnya.
En: "Adi, we should rest," she suggested.

Id: "Tidak, aku baik-baik saja," tolak Adi, meski napasnya semakin berat.
En: "No, I'm fine," Adi refused, even though his breath was getting heavier.

Id: Bayu melihat situasinya.
En: Bayu noticed the situation.

Id: "Ayo, kita ke sana.
En: "Let's go over there.

Id: Ada tempat duduk di bawah pohon itu," tawarnya, menunjuk ke arah tempat teduh.
En: There's a seat under that tree," he offered, pointing to a shaded spot.

Id: Mereka menuju tempat aman itu.
En: They headed to that safe place.

Id: Rina mendudukkan Adi.
En: Rina sat Adi down.

Id: "Tarik napas dalam-dalam, Adi.
En: "Take a deep breath, Adi."

Id: "Adi berusaha mengatur napas.
En: Adi tried to regulate his breathing.

Id: Bayu memberi suntikan semangat, "Jangan khawatir, kita bisa lanjut nanti setelah kamu merasa lebih baik.
En: Bayu gave some encouragement, "Don't worry, we can continue later after you feel better."

Id: "Setelah beberapa waktu, Adi mulai merasa lega.
En: After some time, Adi started to feel relieved.

Id: "Maaf sudah merepotkan," katanya pelan.
En: "Sorry for the trouble," he said softly.

Id: "Yang penting kesehatanmu, Di," kata Rina, menggenggam tangannya.
En: "The important thing is your health, Di," said Rina, holding his hand.

Id: "Sejarah tidak akan lari ke mana-mana, Adi.
En: "History won't run away, Adi.

Id: Kita bisa belajar dengan cara yang lebih santai," ujar Bayu sambil tersenyum.
En: We can learn in a more relaxed way," said Bayu with a smile.

Id: Setelah istirahat cukup, mereka melanjutkan perjalanan dengan langkah lebih tenang.
En: After enough rest, they continued their journey at a more relaxed pace.

Id: Bayu bercerita lebih banyak tentang batu-batu candi yang dipahat indah.
En: Bayu told them more about the beautifully carved temple stones.

Id: Adi menyadari pelajaran penting: menikmati perjalanan juga bagian dari pencarian.
En: Adi realized an important lesson: enjoying the journey is also part of the quest.

Id: Mereka menutup hari itu dengan kekayaan cerita dan kekayaan persahabatan.
En: They ended the day with a wealth of stories and the richness of friendship.

Id: Serta keputusan Adi yang berbeda.
En: Along with Adi's different decision.

Id: Kini ia tahu, kadang kala, mendengarkan tubuh lebih penting demi mencapai tujuan.
En: Now he knows, sometimes, listening to your body is more important to achieve your goals.

Id: Borobudur tetap berdiri megah, dengan Adi yang telah belajar pelajaran berharga: bernafas lebih penting dibanding sekadar berlari mengejar pengetahuan.
En: Borobudur still stands majestically, with Adi having learned a valuable lesson: breathing is more important than just running after knowledge.
