Story Transcript:

Id: Di tengah ruang kerja freelancer, sinar matahari pagi menyelinap lembut melalui jendela-jendela besar.
En: In the middle of the ruang kerja freelancer, the morning sunlight gently sneaks through the large windows.

Id: Suara tuts keyboard dan bau kopi segar memenuhi udara, mengisi ruangan dengan energi kreatif.
En: The sound of keyboard keys and the scent of fresh coffee fill the air, infusing the room with creative energy.

Id: Di sudut dekat jendela, Rina duduk tekun di depan laptopnya.
En: In the corner near the window, Rina sits diligently in front of her laptop.

Id: Dia adalah penulis lepas yang berdedikasi, mengerjakan artikel terbarunya.
En: She is a dedicated freelance writer, working on her latest article.

Id: Di meja sebelahnya, ada Adit, sahabat dan rekan kerjanya.
En: At the table beside her is Adit, her friend and colleague.

Id: Adit mengamati Rina dengan mata tajam.
En: Adit observes Rina closely.

Id: Ia perhatikan bagaimana Rina bergeming di tempat duduknya, wajahnya menahan sakit.
En: He notices how Rina stays put in her seat, her face masking pain.

Id: "Rina, kamu baik-baik saja?" tanya Adit dengan lembut.
En: "Rina, are you okay?" Adit asks gently.

Id: Rina hanya tersenyum tipis, "Ya, aku cuma sedikit tidak nyaman.
En: Rina only offers a faint smile, "Yes, I'm just a little uncomfortable.

Id: Tapi pekerjaan ini harus selesai hari ini."
En: But this work needs to finish today."

Id: Adit tak yakin.
En: Adit is not convinced.

Id: Dia tahu Rina sering mengabaikan kesehatannya demi mengejar deadline.
En: He knows Rina often neglects her health in pursuit of deadlines.

Id: Namun, dia juga tak ingin terlalu mencampuri.
En: However, he also doesn't want to interfere too much.

Id: "Kalau kamu butuh sesuatu, beritahu aku, ya."
En: "If you need anything, just let me know, okay?"

Id: Hari semakin siang. Rina berusaha keras menyelesaikan kalimat demi kalimat, tapi nyeri di perutnya semakin parah.
En: As the day progresses, Rina struggles to complete sentence after sentence, but the pain in her stomach worsens.

Id: Keringat dingin mulai muncul di dahinya.
En: Cold sweat starts to appear on her forehead.

Id: Adit melihat Rina semakin pucat dan gelisah.
En: Adit notices Rina becoming paler and more restless.

Id: "Rina, lebih baik kita ke dokter," Adit mendesak, kekhawatiran tergambar jelas di suaranya.
En: "Rina, it's better if we go to the doctor," Adit urges, concern clearly etched in his voice.

Id: "Aku benar-benar harus menyelesaikan ini, Adit.
En: "I really have to finish this, Adit.

Id: Aku baik-baik saja," Rina menolak dengan tegas meski tatapannya berpendar kesakitan.
En: I'm fine," Rina refuses firmly, though her gaze betrays her pain.

Id: Namun, tiba-tiba Rina merosot dari kursinya.
En: Suddenly, Rina slumps from her chair.

Id: Adit melompat dari tempat duduknya, panik namun sigap.
En: Adit leaps from his seat, panicked but quick to act.

Id: "Rina! Kamu dengar aku?"
En: "Rina! Can you hear me?"

Id: Tanpa menunggu jawaban, Adit segera menelepon ambulans.
En: Without waiting for an answer, Adit immediately calls an ambulance.

Id: Suara sirene menghampiri, momen terasa menegangkan.
En: The sound of sirens approaches, the moment tense.

Id: Adit tetap di sisi Rina, menggenggam tangannya dengan erat.
En: Adit stays by Rina's side, holding her hand tightly.

Id: Di rumah sakit, dokter dengan cepat menangani Rina.
En: At the hospital, doctors quickly attend to Rina.

Id: "Ini apendisitis.
En: "This is appendicitis.

Id: Dia perlu operasi segera," jelas dokter.
En: She needs surgery immediately," the doctor explains.

Id: Adit merasa lega dan bersyukur ia mengikuti intuisinya.
En: Adit feels relieved and grateful he followed his intuition.

Id: Setelah operasi, Rina berbaring lemas di kamar pemulihan.
En: After the surgery, Rina lies weak in the recovery room.

Id: Adit duduk di samping, setia menemaninya.
En: Adit sits beside her, faithfully accompanying her.

Id: "Maafkan aku tadi, Adit.
En: "I'm sorry earlier, Adit.

Id: Aku seharusnya mendengarkan kamu," Rina berkata lemah.
En: I should have listened to you," Rina says weakly.

Id: "Tidak apa-apa, Rin.
En: "It's okay, Rin.

Id: Yang penting sekarang kamu sehat kembali.
En: What's important is that you're healthy again.

Id: Kita harus lebih perhatian pada kesehatan sendiri," jawab Adit, tersenyum hangat.
En: We need to pay more attention to our own health," Adit replies, smiling warmly.

Id: Seiring waktu, Rina belajar untuk lebih memperhatikan kesehatannya.
En: Over time, Rina learns to pay more attention to her health.

Id: Dia tak lagi ragu untuk menerima bantuan.
En: She no longer hesitates to accept help.

Id: Sementara itu, Adit mengerti pentingnya mengikuti nalurinya ketika menyangkut kesejahteraan orang terdekat.
En: Meanwhile, Adit understands the importance of following his instincts when it comes to the well-being of those close to him.

Id: Ruangan freelancer tetap menjadi tempat favorit mereka bekerja.
En: The ruangan freelancer remains their favorite place to work.

Id: Penuh cahaya dan dedaunan hijau, mengingatkan mereka pada ikatan persahabatan dan tanggung jawab pada diri sendiri.
En: Filled with light and green plants, it reminds them of the bonds of friendship and responsibility to themselves.

Id: Dan di antara hiruk-pikuk kesibukan, kini Rina dan Adit lebih bijak dalam menjaga keseimbangan kerja dan kehidupan.
En: And amidst the hustle and bustle of busyness, Rina and Adit are now wiser in maintaining a work-life balance.
