Unfortunately, they had not anticipated the presence of a mischievous monkey secretly peeking from behind the trees.
Saat meditasi berlangsung, tiba-tiba suasana hening terusik.
As the meditation went on, the silence was suddenly disturbed.

The monkey swiftly ran, stealing the belongings of the participants one by one.
Tas, botol air, dan bahkan sandal Budi pun tak luput.

Running here and there, he tried to capture the nimble monkey.
Peserta lainnya terpingkal melihat aksi Budi yang tampak lucu dan bertolak belakang dengan nuansa retreat.
The other participants burst into laughter at Budi's actions, which seemed comical and contrary to the retreat's serene ambiance.
Ayu tetap mencoba menjaga ketenangan dari kejauhan, walau dalam hatinya ia ingin tertawa.
Ayu continued to try to maintain calm from a distance, even though she too wanted to laugh.
Akhirnya, setelah cukup lelah dan menyadari betapa absurdnya keadaan, Budi berhenti.

"What have we learned here?"
" tanyanya sambil tersenyum.

Budi belajar melepaskan, menemukan sisi humor dalam kejutan hidup.
Budi learned to let go, finding humor in life's surprises.

Ayu also became more flexible, accepting that even when plans fall apart, happiness can still be achieved.
Retreat yang semula terancam berakhir berantakan, justru memberikan pelajaran berharga tentang menerima dan tertawa bersama.
