Id: Kalau tidak, Ayah akan terus kepayahan bekerja tanpa henti,” keluh Ayu sambil merapikan buku catatannya. En: If not, my father will keep struggling, working tirelessly," lamented Ayu as she organized her notes.

Id: "Dewi, ini untukmu. Aku berharap ini membawa kebahagiaan untukmu." En: "Dewi, this is for you. I hope it brings happiness to you." Id: Mata Dewi berkilau saat menerima kalung itu. En: Dewi's eyes sparkled as she received the necklace. Id: "Ini indah sekali, Rafi. Terima kasih. Kau tahu, aku juga punya perasaan untukmu," katanya dengan wajah memerah. En: "It's so beautiful, Rafi. Thank you. You know, I also have feelings for you," she said, blushing. Id: Rafi tersenyum, merasakan kelegaan dan kebahagiaan yang meluap.

En: Ayu takes a deep breath and begins to recount what happened. Id: "Bapak Budi, saya ingin melaporkan sebuah pencurian kecil. En: "Officer Budi, I want to report a minor theft. Id: Tetangga saya, Rudi, mengambil sepeda anaknya karena terdesak. En: My neighbor, Rudi, took his child's bicycle out of necessity. Id: Saya merasa harus memberi tahu karena mungkin ada solusi lain selain mencuri." Ayu menyampaikan dengan suara gemetar, namun jelas. En: I feel I need to inform because there may be another solution besides stealing," Ayu conveys with a trembling, yet clear voice. Id: Budi mengangguk sambil mencatat.
