Story Transcript:

Id: Rizky berbaring di sofa ruang keluarga yang luas.
En: Rizky lay on the sofa in the spacious family room.

Id: Angin sepoi-sepoi masuk melalui jendela besar, membawa aroma masakan ibu dari dapur.
En: A gentle breeze entered through the large window, carrying the scent of his mother's cooking from the kitchen.

Id: Di luar, suara dedaunan dari halaman tengah terbawa angin, menjadi musik penghilang rasa cemas bagi Rizky.
En: Outside, the sound of leaves from the courtyard blown by the wind became calming music for Rizky.

Id: Rizky baru saja mengalami kecelakaan motor.
En: Rizky had just been in a motorcycle accident.

Id: Kini, ia sedang dalam proses pemulihan.
En: Now, he was in the process of recovery.

Id: Kecelakaan itu bukan hanya meremukkan beberapa tulang, tapi juga menekan semangatnya.
En: The accident not only broke several bones but also dampened his spirit.

Id: Ketika setiap gerakan menjadi kesakitan, Rizky teringat panggung murah dan pekerjaan seni yang ia cintai.
En: When every movement brought pain, Rizky remembered the modest stage and the art work he loved.

Id: Bagaimana ia bisa kembali, jika berdiri saja sulit?
En: How could he return if standing was difficult?

Id: Sari, kakaknya, merawatnya dengan sabar.
En: Sari, his sister, cared for him patiently.

Id: "Rizky, ayo coba latihan," ajaknya sambil membawa alat bantu jalan.
En: "Rizky, let's try practicing," she encouraged while bringing the walker.

Id: Tapi Rizky hanya menggeleng, frustrasi dengan keterbatasannya.
En: But Rizky only shook his head, frustrated with his limitations.

Id: Suatu hari, Dewi datang berkunjung.
En: One day, Dewi came to visit.

Id: Senyum ramahnya membuat suasana lebih hangat.
En: Her friendly smile warmed the atmosphere.

Id: "Halo, Rizky.
En: "Hello, Rizky.

Id: Mau latihan bareng aku?
En: Want to practice with me?"

Id: " tanyanya lembut.
En: she asked gently.

Id: Rizky ragu.
En: Rizky hesitated.

Id: Dia tahu Dewi peduli, tapi ada perasaan malu dan takut tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa.
En: He knew Dewi cared, but there was a feeling of shame and fear of not being able to do anything.

Id: Dewi seolah bisa membaca pikirannya.
En: Dewi seemed to read his mind.

Id: "Kita mulai pelan-pelan, ya?
En: "Shall we start slowly, okay?

Id: Bersama kita bisa," katanya dengan kawan lama mereka dalam tatapannya.
En: Together we can do it," she said with the long friendship in her gaze.

Id: Lama kelamaan, Rizky setuju.
En: Gradually, Rizky agreed.

Id: Dewi tak pernah memaksanya, hanya menemaninya.
En: Dewi never forced him, just accompanied him.

Id: Bersama Sari, mereka memberikan dukungan yang Rizky butuhkan.
En: Along with Sari, they provided the support Rizky needed.

Id: Hari demi hari, Rizky mencoba berdiri lebih lama.
En: Day by day, Rizky tried to stand a little longer.

Id: Awalnya sulit, tapi ada kemajuan kecil.
En: It was difficult at first, but there was small progress.

Id: Suatu sore, ketika matahari mulai terbenam, Rizky mencoba melangkah tanpa bantuan.
En: One afternoon, as the sun began to set, Rizky tried to walk without assistance.

Id: Namun, belum tiga langkah dia pun terjatuh.
En: However, he fell after just three steps.

Id: Sari dan Dewi segera menghampiri dan membantunya bangkit.
En: Sari and Dewi immediately rushed over and helped him up.

Id: "Rizky, tidak apa-apa untuk butuh orang lain," Dewi berkata sambil memegang tangan Rizky erat.
En: "Rizky, it's okay to need others," Dewi said while holding Rizky's hand tightly.

Id: Dengan napas yang berat, Rizky mengangguk.
En: With heavy breaths, Rizky nodded.

Id: Emosi campur aduk, tapi ada kedamaian baru di hatinya.
En: His emotions were mixed, but there was a new peace in his heart.

Id: Dia mengerti dia tidak sendiri.
En: He understood he was not alone.

Id: Keesokan harinya, dengan bantuan Dewi dan Sari, Rizky mencoba lagi.
En: The next day, with Dewi and Sari's help, Rizky tried again.

Id: Kali ini, langkah kecilnya lebih stabil.
En: This time, his small steps were more stable.

Id: Hari itu, Rizky belajar bahwa kekuatan sejati terletak pada keberanian untuk menerima bantuan.
En: That day, Rizky learned that true strength lies in the courage to accept help.

Id: Matahari Yogyakarta menyinari mereka bertiga melalui tirai tipis, menerangi semangat baru Rizky.
En: The Yogyakarta sun shone on the three of them through the thin curtains, illuminating Rizky's new spirit.

Id: Kini dia tahu, setiap langkah, meski pelan, adalah kemajuan.
En: Now he knew, every step, though slow, was progress.

Id: Dan dengan dukungan Sari dan Dewi, ia siap untuk bangkit lebih kuat.
En: And with the support of Sari and Dewi, he was ready to rise stronger.
