Di seberang hamparan hutan mangrove, Sari, seorang seniman lokal, berdiri sambil memegang buku sketsa.

Ia jarang berinteraksi dengan orang banyak, lebih sering menghabiskan waktu menciptakan karya seni dari inspirasi alam sekitarnya.

Saat istirahat, mata Rizky tertuju pada sketsa-sketsa di buku Sari.

Ia penasaran lalu mendekati Sari yang sedang duduk di atas akar mangrove.

Curious, he approached Sari, who was sitting on a mangrove root.

Sari merasa ada yang mengamati.

Sari felt someone watching.

"Hai, boleh lihat sketsa-sketsa ini?

"Hi, may I look at these sketches?"

" tanya Rizky dengan suara lembut.

Sari tersenyum, lalu membiarkannya melihat.

"Indah sekali.

The volunteers ran for shelter, except for Rizky and Sari, who stayed to protect the young mangrove seedlings from the onslaught of water.

As the rain subsided, the two sat under a large mangrove tree.

"Apa kau pernah berpikir untuk mengadakan pameran seni lingkungan?

"Have you ever thought about holding an environmental art exhibition?"

" Rizky bertanya dengan penuh harap.

Rizky asked with hopeful eyes.

Sari memandang ke kejauhan, membayangkan karyanya terpajang seraya menyampaikan pesan penting bagi banyak orang.

Sari looked into the distance, imagining her work displayed while conveying an important message to many people.

"Itu ide yang bagus," jawabnya mantap.

"That's a great idea," she replied confidently.

Keduanya sepakat untuk berkolaborasi di masa depan.

They agreed to collaborate in the future.

Hari itu Rizky menemukan keberanian baru untuk membuka diri, sementara Sari belajar pentingnya kerja sama dalam komunitas.
