Story Transcript:
Id: Santorini terasa seperti sebuah mimpi bagi Rani.
En: Santorini felt like a dream to Rani.
Id: Pulau dengan bangunan putih dan biru yang kontras dengan laut Aegea yang berkilau.
En: The island with its white and blue buildings contrasted with the shimmering Aegean Sea.
Id: Namun, mimpi ini juga membuat Rani merasa cemas.
En: However, this dream also made Rani feel anxious.
Id: Sebagai gadis berusia 15 tahun yang baru pindah dari Indonesia, Rani harus menghadapi kenyataan baru: sekolah internasional di puncak bukit.
En: As a 15-year-old girl who had just moved from Indonesia, Rani had to face a new reality: an international school on a hilltop.
Id: Putri, kakaknya yang setahun lebih tua, selalu mendukung.
En: Putri, her sister who was a year older, was always supportive.
Id: Namun, rasa gugup menggelitik hati Rani setiap kali berangkat ke sekolah.
En: However, nervousness tickled Rani's heart every time she set off for school.
Id: "Kamu harus percaya diri, Nduk," saran Putri dengan senyuman lembut.
En: "You have to be confident, Nduk," advised Putri with a gentle smile.
Id: Tapi rasa tak nyaman mengintip setiap hari.
En: But the discomfort peeked through every day.
Id: Di sekolah, Rani bertemu Adi.
En: At school, Rani met Adi.
Id: Dia sudah tinggal di Santorini lebih dari setahun.
En: He had been living in Santorini for more than a year.
Id: "Aku tahu rasanya pindah ke tempat yang baru," kata Adi suatu siang.
En: "I know how it feels to move to a new place," said Adi one afternoon.
Id: "Ayo, kita bisa melewatinya bersama.
En: "Come on, we can get through it together."
Id: "Bahasa asing terdengar seperti nyanyian aneh.
En: The foreign language sounded like a strange song.
Id: Rani berjuang untuk mengerti.
En: Rani struggled to understand.
Id: Tapi, hatinya tetap ingin berteman.
En: But her heart still wanted to make friends.
Id: Dia menemukan brosur klub seni di papan pengumuman sekolah.
En: She found a brochure for the art club on the school bulletin board.
Id: Kegemarannya pada seni mungkin bisa membawanya menemukan sahabat.
En: Her love for art might lead her to find friends.
Id: Ketika musim semi tiba, sekolah mengadakan festival internasional.
En: When spring arrived, the school held an international festival.
Id: Setiap siswa diminta menampilkan budaya asalnya.
En: Every student was asked to present their native culture.
Id: Ini kesempatan bagi Rani.
En: This was an opportunity for Rani.
Id: Namun, rasa takut menggenggam hatinya.
En: However, fear gripped her heart.
Id: "Aku bisa menunjukkan batik," gumamnya pelan, mencoba meyakinkan dirinya sendiri.
En: "I could show batik," she murmured softly, trying to convince herself.
Id: Pertempuran dalam diri Rani berujung pada keberanian.
En: The battle within Rani ended in courage.
Id: Dengan segala persiapan, dia membawa kain, lilin, dan canting.
En: With all the preparations, she brought cloth, wax, and a canting.
Id: Saat hari festival tiba, jantungnya berdegup seperti drum.
En: When the festival day arrived, her heart beat like a drum.
Id: "Semoga berhasil, Dek," ujar Putri memberi semangat.
En: "Good luck, Dek," said Putri encouragingly.
Id: Rani melangkahkan kaki ke panggung.
En: Rani stepped onto the stage.
Id: Semua mata tertuju padanya.
En: All eyes were on her.
Id: Dengan tangan gemetar, dia mulai menjelaskan batik, menunjukkan setiap langkah.
En: With trembling hands, she began explaining batik, demonstrating each step.
Id: Tetapi saat canting tersebut menyentuh kain, Rani merasakan ketenangan.
En: But when the canting touched the cloth, Rani felt calm.
Id: Ini adalah bagian dari dirinya, budaya yang ingin dia bagi.
En: This was a part of her, a culture she wanted to share.
Id: Ketika selesai, tepuk tangan meriah memenuhi ruangan.
En: When she finished, applause filled the room.
Id: Beberapa siswa datang mendekat.
En: Several students approached.
Id: "Bisa ajarkan kami!
En: "Can you teach us!"
Id: " kata mereka bersemangat.
En: they said excitedly.
Id: Kebahagiaan meluap di hati Rani.
En: Happiness overflowed in Rani's heart.
Id: Dengan langkah ringan, Rani pulang bersama Putri.
En: With light steps, Rani went home with Putri.
Id: Dia menyadari, berbagi budaya adalah jembatan untuk menjalin persahabatan.
