Debur ombak di Pantai Kuta terasa lembut di telinga.

The sound of waves at Pantai Kuta feels gentle to the ears.

Ayu berdiri menatap laut biru.

Ayu stands gazing at the blue sea.

Hatinya bergemuruh, namun suasana sekitar begitu hening.

Her heart is in turmoil, yet the surroundings are so tranquil.

Hari ini adalah Nyepi, hari ketika semua orang di Bali menghormati kesunyian dan kontemplasi.

Today is Nyepi, the day when everyone in Bali respects silence and contemplation.

Sebuah hari yang sempurna untuk pertemuan keluarga, meskipun tantangannya adalah tidak bisa banyak berbicara.

A perfect day for a family gathering, although the challenge is being unable to talk much.

Keluarga Ayu berkumpul di pantai.

Ayu's family gathers at the beach.

Rizky, adik laki-lakinya, berenang di pinggir laut, sementara Budi, adik bungsunya, sedang membangun istana pasir.

Rizky, her younger brother, swims at the edge of the sea, while Budi, her youngest brother, is building a sandcastle.

Ayah dan ibu duduk di bawah payung pantai, menikmati angin sepoi-sepoi.

Her father and mother sit under a beach umbrella, enjoying the gentle breeze.

Ayu merasa terbebani.

Ayu feels burdened.

Sebagai anak sulung, dia sering merasa harus menjaga supaya semua tetap harmonis.

As the eldest child, she often feels the need to keep everything harmonious.

Namun, di dalam hati, ia menyimpan sebuah mimpi yang membuatnya gelisah: ia ingin pergi ke luar negeri untuk mengejar karier seni.

However, deep down, she holds a dream that makes her restless: she wants to go abroad to pursue a career in art.

Ia sudah mendapat tawaran residensi seni di luar negeri.

She has already received an offer for an art residency overseas.

Itu adalah kesempatan emas, tetapi memikirkan meninggalkan keluarga membuatnya merasa bersalah.

It's a golden opportunity, but thinking about leaving her family makes her feel guilty.

"Ini waktunya," pikir Ayu.

"This is the time," thought Ayu.

Nyepi menambahkan kerumitan.

Nyepi adds complexity.

Ia ingin mencari waktu yang tepat untuk berbicara.

She wants to find the right moment to talk.

Namun, di tengah kesunyian ini, itu sulit.

However, amidst this silence, it is difficult.

Ayu kemudian melihat Rizky dan Budi.

Ayu then looks at Rizky and Budi.

Mungkin, mereka adalah orang yang tepat untuk diandalkan saat ini.

Perhaps, they are the right people to rely on right now.

"Ayo jalan-jalan sebentar," ajak Ayu kepada kedua adiknya.

"Let's take a walk for a bit," Ayu invited her two brothers.

Mereka bertiga berjalan di sepanjang garis pantai yang tenang.

The three of them walked along the calm shoreline.

Matahari mulai terbenam, memberi warna emas di atas air.

The sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the water.

"Ada sesuatu yang ingin Kakak sampaikan," Ayu memecah keheningan.

"There's something I want to tell you," Ayu broke the silence.

Rizky dan Budi memperhatikannya, takzim.

Rizky and Budi looked at her, respectfully.

Ayu menarik napas dalam-dalam, "Aku mungkin akan pergi ke luar negeri.

Ayu took a deep breath, "I might go abroad.

Ada tawaran residensi seni.

There's an offer for an art residency.

Rasanya ini adalah impian yang perlu kukejar.

It feels like a dream I need to pursue.

Tapi aku khawatir bagaimana dengan kalian dan Mama Papa."

But I'm worried about you guys and Mom and Dad."

Rizky tersenyum, "Mengejar mimpi adalah sesuatu yang harus dilakukan, Kak.

Rizky smiled, "Chasing dreams is something that must be done, Kak.

Jangan khawatir tentang kami."

Don't worry about us."

Budi mengangguk setuju, "Kami bisa menjaga diri.

Budi nodded in agreement, "We can take care of ourselves.

Dan kami selalu mendukung Kakak."

And we always support you, Kak."

Perkataan adik-adiknya memberinya ketenangan.

Her brothers' words gave her peace.

Ayu merasa lega.

Ayu felt relieved.

Keputusan untuk berbicara terasa benar di hati.

The decision to speak felt right in her heart.

Dulu, ia takut bahwa dengan mengejar mimpinya, ia akan meninggalkan keluarganya.

She used to fear that by chasing her dream, she would be leaving her family.

Namun, ia sadar sekarang bahwa mencari kemandirian tidak berarti meninggalkan keluarga; sebaliknya, itu membuat hubungan mereka lebih kuat.

But now she realizes that seeking independence doesn't mean leaving them; on the contrary, it makes their relationship stronger.

Malam tiba, Ayu, Rizky, dan Budi berbalik kembali ke tempat keluarga mereka.

Night came, and Ayu, Rizky, and Budi turned back to their family's place.

Nyepi mungkin adalah hari penuh keheningan, tapi hati Ayu kini tak lagi gelisah.

Nyepi might be a day full of silence, but Ayu's heart is no longer restless.

Keheningan membawa keputusan dan dukungan keluarga memberikan kekuatan.

Silence brings decisions, and family support provides strength.

Ayu tersenyum, kini siap menyambut masa depannya dengan dukungan penuh di belakangnya.

Ayu smiled, now ready to embrace her future with full support behind her.
