Di sudut keramaian Jakarta, di balik hiruk-pikuk dan suara gemericik pasar yang tiada henti, tampak seorang wanita muda bernama Ayu.

In the bustling corners of Jakarta, amidst the constant clamor and the endless chatter of the market, stood a young woman named Ayu.

Ayu berdiri di tengah pasar yang ramai, matanya mencari-cari sesuatu di antara tumpukan rempah-rempah dan dedaunan.

Ayu stood in the middle of the busy market, her eyes searching for something among the heaps of spices and leaves.

Dia mencari daun jeruju, bahan penting untuk makan malam keluarga malam itu.

She was looking for jeruju leaves, an important ingredient for that night's family dinner.

Hari ini sangat panas, karena musim kemarau sedang mencapai puncaknya.

Today was extremely hot, as the dry season was at its peak.

Tidak jauh darinya, Budi, teman masa kecil Ayu, mengawasi dengan perhatian.

Not far from her, Budi, Ayu's childhood friend, watched with concern.

Dia tahu Ayu adalah wanita yang kuat dan mandiri.

He knew Ayu was a strong and independent woman.

Tapi Budi juga tahu, Ayu mempunyai kelemahan.

But Budi also knew that Ayu had a weakness.

Dia menderita asma sejak kecil.

She had suffered from asthma since she was a child.

Dan di tengah pasar yang penuh debu ini, Budi khawatir.

And in this dusty market, Budi was worried.

Saat Ayu berjalan ke arah tumpukan herbal, napasnya mulai terasa berat.

As Ayu walked towards the pile of herbs, her breathing began to grow heavy.

Debu dari pasar membuat dadanya sesak.

The dust from the market made her chest tight.

Tapi Ayu tidak mau menyerah.

But Ayu did not want to give up.

Dia tetap mencari daun jeruju itu.

She continued searching for the jeruju leaves.

Tiba-tiba, Ayu berhenti.

Suddenly, Ayu stopped.

Wajahnya pucat, dan dia mulai terbatuk-batuk.

Her face was pale, and she began to cough.

Budi segera berlari mendekati Ayu.

Budi immediately ran towards Ayu.

"Kamu tidak apa-apa, Ayu?

"Are you okay, Ayu?"

" tanya Budi dengan cemas.

Budi asked anxiously.

Ayu mencoba tersenyum, tapi gagal.

Ayu tried to smile, but failed.

Napasnya semakin berat.

Her breathing became more labored.

"Aku butuh daun jeruju itu, Budi," katanya dengan suara terputus-putus.

"I need those jeruju leaves, Budi," she said in a broken voice.

Budi melihat sekeliling.

Budi looked around.

Pasar semakin ramai.

The market was getting busier.

Orang-orang tidak menyadari keadaan Ayu.

People didn’t realize Ayu's condition.

Budi harus cepat.

Budi needed to act quickly.

Dia memutuskan untuk membawa Ayu keluar dari keramaian.

He decided to take Ayu out of the crowd.

Tapi Ayu menolak.

But Ayu resisted.

"Tidak, Budi.

"No, Budi.

Aku harus dapatkan daun itu," kata Ayu dengan tegas.

I must get those leaves," Ayu said firmly.

Budi bingung.

Budi was confused.

Dia tahu Ayu keras kepala, tapi kesehatannya lebih penting.

He knew Ayu was stubborn, but her health was more important.

Namun sebelum dia bisa berkata lagi, Ayu tiba-tiba ambruk ke tanah.

However, before he could say anything else, Ayu suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Orang-orang di pasar mulai panik.

The people in the market began to panic.

Dengan cepat, Budi mengangkat Ayu.

Quickly, Budi lifted Ayu.

Dia berusaha membuat Ayu tetap bangun.

He tried to keep her awake.

"Ayu, bertahanlah," kata Budi dengan suara penuh kekhawatiran.

"Ayu, hang in there," Budi said with a voice full of worry.

Budi lalu memutuskan untuk membawa Ayu ke pinggir jalan di mana ada lebih sedikit debu.

Budi then decided to take Ayu to the side of the road where there was less dust.

Dia mengeluarkan inhaler Ayu dari tasny dan memberikannya.

He took out Ayu’s inhaler from her bag and gave it to her.

Perlahan, Ayu mulai bisa bernapas lagi.

Slowly, Ayu began to breathe again.

Matanya terbuka, dan dia melihat Budi dengan mata basah.

Her eyes opened, and she looked at Budi with teary eyes.

"Terima kasih, Budi," kata Ayu dengan suara lemah.

"Thank you, Budi," Ayu said weakly.

Setelah Ayu bisa bernapas lebih baik, Budi melihat kembali pasar.

Once Ayu could breathe better, Budi looked back at the market.

Dia bertekad untuk menemukan daun jeruju itu.

He was determined to find the jeruju leaves.

Berjalan secepat mungkin, dia menemukan penjual herbal dan segera membeli daun yang Ayu butuhkan.

Walking as quickly as possible, he found a herbal seller and immediately bought the leaves that Ayu needed.

Budi kembali ke Ayu dengan senyuman lebar.

Budi returned to Ayu with a broad smile.

"Aku dapatkan daun jeruju itu, Ayu," katanya.

"I got the jeruju leaves, Ayu," he said.

Ayu tersenyum lemah, tapi penuh rasa terima kasih.

Ayu smiled weakly, but full of gratitude.

"Aku tidak tahu bagaimana harus membalasmu, Budi.

"I don't know how to repay you, Budi."

"Budi hanya tersenyum dan membantu Ayu berdiri.

Budi just smiled and helped Ayu stand.

"Kita pulang sekarang, Ayu.

"Let's go home now, Ayu.

Kesehatanmu lebih penting.

Your health is more important."

"Dalam perjalanan pulang, Ayu merasa lebih baik.

On the way home, Ayu felt better.

Dia mulai menerima bahwa kadang-kadang, meminta bantuan bukanlah tanda kelemahan.

She began to understand that sometimes, asking for help was not a sign of weakness.

Di sisi lain, Budi merasa lebih percaya diri untuk menunjukkan perasaannya kepada Ayu.

On the other hand, Budi felt more confident about expressing his feelings to Ayu.

Akhirnya, mereka tiba di rumah Ayu dengan selamat.

Finally, they arrived safely at Ayu's home.

Ayu menyadari betapa berartinya Budi baginya.

Ayu realized how much Budi meant to her.

Dan Budi tahu bahwa dia telah membuat keputusan yang tepat.

And Budi knew that he had made the right decision.

Mereka berdua pulang dengan perasaan yang lebih dalam terhadap satu sama lain.

They both went home with deeper feelings for each other.

Begitu mereka sampai di rumah, Ayu memeluk Budi dengan erat.

As soon as they got home, Ayu hugged Budi tightly.

"Terima kasih, Budi.

"Thank you, Budi.

Kamu selalu ada untukku," katanya.

You are always there for me," she said.

Budi tersenyum dan membalas pelukan Ayu.

Budi smiled and returned Ayu's hug.

"Aku akan selalu ada untukmu, Ayu," jawabnya.

"I will always be there for you, Ayu," he replied.

Dan dengan itu, kedua sahabat ini tahu bahwa mereka punya sesuatu yang lebih dari sekedar persahabatan.

And with that, the two friends knew they had something more than just friendship.

Di balik keramaian dan debu Jakarta, mereka menemukan arti sebenarnya dari dukungan dan kasih sayang.

Amidst the hustle and dust of Jakarta, they found the true meaning of support and affection.
