En: In the midst of the heavy rain that kept battering the hospital’s glass windows, Budi sat anxiously in the waiting room. Id: Aroma antiseptik menggantung di udara, dan cahaya lampu neon bergetar lembut. En: The aroma of antiseptic hung in the air, and the neon lights flickered gently. Id: Budi menundukkan kepala, berusaha menenangkan degup jantungnya yang memburu. En: Budi lowered his head, trying to calm his racing heart. Id: Rumah sakit selalu membuatnya cemas, mengingatkan pada kejadian traumatis di masa lalu. En: Hospitals always made him anxious, reminding him of traumatic events from the past. Id: Di sampingnya, Dewi, adik perempuannya yang penuh semangat, mengamati kakaknya dengan penuh perhatian. En: Beside him, Dewi, his spirited younger sister, watched her brother attentively. Id: "Mas Budi, kenapa nggak coba ngobrol sama orang lain? En: "Mas Budi, why don’t you try talking to someone else? Id: Jangan terlalu tegang," sarannya sambil memberi senyum. En: Don’t be too tense," she suggested with a smile. Id: Budi menghela nafas dalam-dalam, "Aku cuma khawatir sama Ibu. En: Budi took a deep breath, "I’m just worried about Mom. Id: Lagipula, aku nggak tahu harus mulai dari mana. En: Besides, I don’t know where to start." Id: "Dewi menggeleng, "Itu Intan, dia sering aku lihat di sini. En: Dewi shook her head, "That’s Intan, I often see her here. Id: Dia sepertinya baik. En: She seems nice." Id: "Di seberang ruangan, Intan duduk memegang buku di pangkuannya. En: Across the room, Intan sat with a book on her lap. Id: Rambutnya yang panjang tergerai, wajahnya mencerminkan ketenangan yang tenang meski hatinya juga terbebani. En: Her long hair hung loose, and her face reflected a calmness although her heart was burdened too. Id: Adik laki-lakinya sudah lama sakit, tapi Intan tak pernah kehilangan harapan. En: Her younger brother had been sick for a long time, but Intan never lost hope. Id: Setelah ragu beberapa saat, akhirnya Budi memberanikan diri mendekati Intan. En: After hesitating for a moment, Budi finally mustered the courage to approach Intan. Id: "Hai, kamu Intan, kan? En: "Hi, you're Intan, right?" Id: " tanya Budi mencoba ramah. En: asked Budi trying to be friendly. Id: Intan mengangkat wajah, tersenyum lembut. En: Intan looked up, smiling softly. Id: "Iya, dan kamu mungkin Budi? En: "Yes, and you’re probably Budi? Id: Aku pernah lihat kamu dengan adikmu. En: I’ve seen you with your sister." Id: ""Hmm, iya benar. En: "Hmm, yes, that’s right. Id: Ibu lagi dirawat. En: Mom is being treated. Id: Aku sebenarnya nggak terlalu nyaman di rumah sakit," kata Budi, sedikit canggung. En: I’m actually not very comfortable in hospitals," said Budi, a bit awkwardly. Id: Intan mengangguk mengerti. En: Intan nodded understandingly. Id: "Aku tahu rasanya. En: "I know the feeling. Id: Kadang, kita cuma butuh teman ngobrol. En: Sometimes, we just need someone to talk to." Id: "Seiring hujan yang masih mengguyur deras, obrolan mereka mengalir lancar. En: As the rain continued to pour heavily, their conversation flowed smoothly. Id: Mereka berbagi cerita, tentang kegigihan Ibu Budi dan semangat juang adik Intan. En: They shared stories about Budi’s mother’s perseverance and Intan’s brother’s fighting spirit.

En: We can support each other. Id: Dunia ini nggak terlalu menakutkan kalau kita punya teman. En: The world isn’t so scary if we have a friend." Id: "Malam itu, saat Budi dan Dewi pulang, hujan masih menyisakan genangan di sepanjang jalan. En: That night, as Budi and Dewi went home, the rain left puddles along the street. Id: Tapi di dalam hatinya, Budi merasa lebih tenang. En: But inside his heart, Budi felt more at ease. Id: Dia mungkin masih takut pada rumah sakit, tapi sekarang tahu, bersahabat bisa menjadi pelipur lara yang manjur. En: He might still be afraid of hospitals, but now he knew that friendship could be a powerful comfort.

    Fluent Fiction - Indonesian: Secrets of Candi Borobudur: A Night of Discovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/id/episode/2026-02-18-23-34-02-id Story Transcript: Id: Langit malam itu gelap dan berat dengan awan hujan. En: The sky that night was dark and heavy with rain clouds. Id: Di tengah rinai hujan, Candi Borobudur berdiri megah, seolah berbisik cerita-cerita purba. En: Amidst the drizzle, Candi Borobudur stood majestic, as if whispering ancient tales. Id: Dimas, seorang arkeolog muda dengan semangat yang membara, berdiri mengagumi megahnya candi tersebut. En: Dimas, a young archaeologist with a burning passion, stood admiring the grandeur of the temple. Id: Dia menggigil sedikit, bukan hanya karena dingin, tetapi karena kegembiraan. En: He shivered slightly, not just from the cold, but from excitement. Id: Ada sesuatu yang membingungkan para arkeolog; sebuah artefak dari candi telah berpindah tempat dengan misterius semalam. En: There was something puzzling the archaeologists; an artifact from the temple had mysteriously changed places overnight. Id: Dimas merasa ini adalah kesempatan sempurna untuk membuktikan kemampuannya di depan mentornya, Ayu. En: Dimas felt this was the perfect opportunity to prove his skills in front of his mentor, Ayu. Id: Dia ingin mendapatkan pengakuan darinya. En: He wanted recognition from her. Id: Namun, ada saingan lain, Rama, yang juga berusaha mendapatkan perhatian Ayu. En: However, there was another rival, Rama, who was also trying to get Ayu's attention. Id: Langit menumpahkan airnya tanpa henti, membuat tanah licin dan berbahaya, tetapi Dimas sudah memutuskan. En: The sky poured down relentlessly, making the ground slippery and dangerous, but Dimas had already decided. Id: Dia akan menyelidiki candi itu malam ini, meskipun hujan lebat mengguyur. En: He would investigate the temple that night, despite the heavy rain. Id: Penuh tekad, Dimas mulai menjelajahi area sekitar candi. En: With determination, Dimas began exploring the area around the temple. Id: Hujan membuat semuanya lebih sulit dan berbahaya. En: The rain made everything more difficult and dangerous. Id: Langkahnya pelan dan hati-hati di antara bebatuan yang licin. En: His steps were slow and cautious among the slippery stones. Id: Sekejap kilat menyinari sekitar, menyorotkan cahaya singkat ke arah bayangan yang tampak seolah-olah bergerak. En: A flash of lightning lit up the surroundings, casting short-lived light on a shadow that seemed to move. Id: Hatanya berdetak cepat, tetapi rasa penasaran mendorongnya maju. En: His heart beat faster, but curiosity pushed him forward. Id: Di tengah keheningan malam, kilauan cahaya dari bulan yang terbenam di balik awan memperlihatkan sebuah celah sempit di bawah candi yang ditutup tumbuhan liar. En: In the silence of the night, the glow of the moon setting behind the clouds revealed a narrow gap beneath the temple covered with wild plants. Id: Dengan penasaran, Dimas menyingkirkan rerumputan itu dan menemukan pintu rahasia yang lama tersembunyi. En: Curiously, Dimas cleared away the grass and found a long-hidden secret door. Id: Hatinya berdegup lebih kencang. En: His heart pounded faster. Id: Dia masuk dengan sangat hati-hati. En: He entered very carefully. Id: Di dalam, Dimas menemukan serangkaian lorong sempit yang berliku. En: Inside, Dimas found a series of winding narrow passages. Id: Petualangan ini membawanya menuju ruang yang besar, tempat artefak tersebut berada. En: This adventure led him to a large room where the artifact was located. Id: Dimas menggenggam tangannya dengan sukacita. En: Dimas clasped his hands with joy. Id: Namun, lebih dari sekadar menemukan artefak, Dimas menemukan mekanisme kuno yang dipakai untuk memindahkan artefak tersebut. En: However, beyond merely finding the artifact, Dimas discovered an ancient mechanism used to move the artifact. Id: Ini adalah penemuan besar! En: This was a significant discovery! Id: Namun, dia sadar bahwa penting untuk memberi penghargaan pada Ayu. En: But he realized the importance of giving credit to Ayu. Id: Pagi harinya, di depan para arkeolog lain, Dimas menjelaskan temuannya dan memberi pujian kepada Ayu, mengatakan betapa pentingnya pelajaran serta bimbingan darinya. En: The next morning, in front of other archaeologists, Dimas explained his findings and gave praise to Ayu, stating how important her lessons and guidance were. Id: Ayu tersenyum padanya dengan penuh bangga. En: Ayu smiled at him with pride. Id: Tetapi yang lebih berarti bagi Dimas adalah pemahaman baru yang dia dapatkan pada malam penuh tantangan itu. En: But what meant more to Dimas was the new understanding he gained on that night full of challenges. Id: Bahwa kerjasama dan ketulusan lebih berarti daripada kebanggaan pribadi. En: That cooperation and sincerity mean more than personal pride. Id: Tanpa gemerlap pujian, Dimas merasakan kepuasan yang mendalam dalam dirinya. En: Without the glitter of praise, Dimas felt a deep satisfaction within himself. Id: Penemuan ini adalah hasil kerja sama dan dedikasi. En: This discovery was the result of teamwork and dedication. Id: Borobudur kembali tenang, menyimpan cerita-ceritanya yang baru terungkap. En: Borobudur returned to its peace, holding onto its newly revealed stories.

En: The morning mist enveloped Candi Borobudur, the majestic temple. Id: Seperti sebuah harta karun tersembunyi, candi ini berdiri anggun di tengah rerimbunan hutan tropis yang hijau. En: Like a hidden treasure, this temple stood gracefully amidst the lush green tropical forest. Id: Suara hujan rintik-rintik menghiasi suasana, menambah kesan misteri.

En: In this place, Rizwan, a young archaeologist, stood with enthusiasm. Id: Pandangannya tertuju pada dinding candi yang berornamen indah. En: His gaze was fixed on the temple's beautifully ornate walls. Id: Ia yakin kalau ada rahasia besar tersembunyi di dalamnya, rahasia yang bisa menjadi penemuan besar dalam dunia arkeologi. En: He was convinced that a great secret lay hidden within, a secret that could become a significant discovery in the world of archaeology.

En: The dispute between Rizwan and Amara escalated. Id: Saat Rizwan menemukan petunjuk tentang sebuah ruangan tersembunyi, dilema semakin jelas. En: When Rizwan discovered clues about a hidden room, the dilemma became more apparent. Id: Untuk masuk ke dalam ruangan itu, Rizwan harus memodifikasi beberapa struktur candi. En: To enter the room, Rizwan would have to modify some of the temple's structures. Id: Ini berarti melakukan perubahan yang mungkin tidak bisa diperbaiki. En: This meant making changes that might not be reversible. Id: "Hentikan, Rizwan. En: "Stop, Rizwan. Id: Jika kamu melangkah lebih jauh, kamu bisa merusak sesuatu yang tak ternilai," desak Amara. En: If you go any further, you might destroy something invaluable," urged Amara. Id: Rizwan terdiam. En: Rizwan fell silent. Id: Ia memandang Amara, kemudian menatap candi dengan hormat yang baru ditemukan. En: He looked at Amara, then at the temple with newfound respect. Id: Ia merasakan beban pilihan di hatinya. En: He felt the weight of choice in his heart. Id: Tekadnya untuk membuat penemuan besar mulai mengendur. En: His determination to make a grand discovery began to waver. Id: Tiba-tiba, ia menyadari bahwa ada cara lain. En: Suddenly, he realized there was another way. Id: Setelah perdebatan yang panjang dan penuh emosi, Rizwan membuat keputusan. En: After a long and emotional debate, Rizwan made a decision. Id: "Baiklah, Amara. En: "Alright, Amara. Id: Kita akan mendokumentasikan temuan kita tanpa merusak candi. En: We'll document our findings without damaging the temple. Id: Aku ingin menjaga tempat ini sebagaimana adanya," ujarnya akhirnya. En: I want to preserve this place as it is," he finally said. Id: Dengan keputusan itu, Rizwan dan Amara bekerja sama. En: With that decision, Rizwan and Amara worked together. Id: Mereka menggunakan teknik non-invasif untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang candi. En: They used non-invasive techniques to learn more about the temple. Id: Rizwan belajar menghargai pentingnya menjaga keutuhan sejarah, sementara Amara merasa lega bahwa candi tetap dilestarikan. En: Rizwan learned to appreciate the importance of preserving historical integrity, while Amara felt relieved that the temple remained preserved. Id: Kini, Rizwan melihat Borobudur bukan hanya sebagai objek studi arkeologi tapi juga sebagai simbol penting dari sejarah dan budaya yang harus selalu dihormati dan dijaga. En: Now, Rizwan saw Borobudur not just as an archaeological study object but also as an important symbol of history and culture that must always be respected and preserved. Id: Hujan terus turun dengan lembut, seolah-olah turut menyetujui kedamaian yang baru saja tercipta. En: The rain continued to fall gently, as if in agreement with the newly formed peace.

En: Dewi, a woman who is always curious and loves adventure, didn't want to miss every corner of the magnificent temple. Id: Namun, tiba-tiba, Dewi mulai merasa aneh. En: However, suddenly, Dewi started to feel strange. Id: Hidungnya gatal dan napasnya tersengal-sengal. En: Her nose was itching and her breath was short. Id: Mata Rahmat tertuju pada Dewi, merasa khawatir. En: Rahmat's eyes turned to Dewi, feeling worried. Id: “Kau baik-baik saja? En: "Are you alright?" Id: ” tanya Rahmat, suaranya tenang namun penuh perhatian. En: asked Rahmat, his voice calm yet full of concern. Id: Dewi mengangguk, walau dalam hati dia tahu gejala alerginya mulai kambuh. En: Dewi nodded, although in her heart she knew her allergy symptoms were starting to flare up. Id: Rahmat, yang selalu berjaga-jaga, segera mencari sesuatu di dalam tas ranselnya. En: Rahmat, ever vigilant, immediately searched for something in his backpack. Id: Dia tahu betul sahabatnya itu sering mengalami alergi, dan di musim hujan seperti ini, situasinya bisa lebih buruk. En: He knew well that his friend often suffered from allergies, and in the rainy season like this, the situation could be worse. Id: “Dewi, kita perlu mencari bantuan sekarang. En: "Dewi, we need to seek help now. Id: Aku tahu kau ingin selesai menjelajah, tapi kesehatanmu lebih penting,” kata Rahmat tegas. En: I know you want to finish exploring, but your health is more important," said Rahmat firmly. Id: Namun, kepala Dewi berbisik lain. En: However, Dewi's head whispered otherwise. Id: Ia ingin melihat lebih banyak, merasakan setiap sudut sejarah. En: She wanted to see more, to feel every corner of history. Id: Kakinya melangkah maju, menantang hujan yang makin deras. En: Her feet stepped forward, challenging the increasingly heavy rain. Id: Sampai tiba-tiba, langkahnya goyah—kesadarannya makin menipis. En: Then suddenly, her steps wobbled—her consciousness waning. Id: Rahmat menggenggam tangannya dengan erat, rasa khawatir makin menjadi-jadi. En: Rahmat held her hand tightly, his concern growing stronger. Id: Dengan cepat, Rahmat memandang sekeliling dan melihat papan penunjuk ke pos pertolongan pertama. En: Quickly, Rahmat looked around and saw a sign pointing to the first aid post. Id: Dia memapah Dewi menuju ke sana, berusaha menenangkan temannya sambil memacu langkah. En: He supported Dewi towards it, trying to calm his friend while quickening his pace. Id: Air hujan membasahi tanah dan batu, membuat setiap gundukan licin. En: The rain soaked the ground and stones, making every bump slippery. Id: Tapi Rahmat tak mau menyerah. En: But Rahmat refused to give up. Id: Sampai akhirnya mereka mencapai pos itu, tepat ketika Dewi hampir tumbang. En: Finally, they reached the post, just as Dewi almost collapsed. Id: Petugas medis langsung memberi penanganan. En: The medical staff immediately provided treatment. Id: Perlahan, kondisi Dewi mulai membaik. En: Slowly, Dewi's condition began to improve. Id: Rahmat duduk di samping Dewi, mengusap lembut punggungnya. En: Rahmat sat beside Dewi, gently rubbing her back. Id: “Terima kasih,” kata Dewi dengan suara parau, “Aku tahu kau bilang begitu untuk kebaikanku. En: "Thank you," Dewi said with a hoarse voice, "I know you said that for my good." Id: ”Rahmat tersenyum, “Kali ini biarkan petualangan kita selesai dengan aman dahulu, Dewi. En: Rahmat smiled, "This time, let our adventure end safely first, Dewi. Id: Ada banyak waktu lain untuk menjelajah. En: There is plenty of time to explore later." Id: ”Sambil menanti hujan reda, Dewi berpikir tentang pentingnya kesehatan. En: While waiting for the rain to subside, Dewi thought about the importance of health. Id: Petualangan bisa menunggu, pikirnya. En: Adventure can wait, she thought. Id: Melihat sahabatnya yang selalu siap untuk membantu, ia merasa bersyukur. En: Seeing her friend always ready to help, she felt grateful. Id: Borobudur tetap berdiri megah, siap menanti mereka di lain kesempatan. En: Borobudur still stood grandly, ready to welcome them another time. Id: Kini, Dewi merasakan kedamaian baru. En: Now, Dewi felt a new peace. Id: Bukan hanya dari keindahan candi, tetapi dari pelajaran berharga yang ia dapatkan bersama sahabat sejatinya, Rahmat.
