Rain, Ruckus, and a Remarkably Perfect Gift
Pasar Cerah di Surabaya sedang ramai seperti biasa.
The Pasar Cerah in Surabaya was bustling as usual.
Rina melangkah cepat di antara tenda-tenda yang berwarna-warni.
Rina walked quickly among the colorful tents.
Hari ini, ia punya misi khusus.
Today, she had a special mission.
Ia ingin menemukan hadiah ulang tahun yang sempurna untuk Sari, sahabat terbaiknya.
She wanted to find the perfect birthday gift for Sari, her best friend.
Sayangnya, hujan deras mulai turun, mengubah jalan pasar menjadi sungai kecil.
Unfortunately, heavy rain began to fall, turning the market paths into small rivers.
"Ini dia tantangan baru," pikir Rina sambil melipat bajunya, mencoba menghindari cipratan air dari kakinya sendiri.
"Here's a new challenge," thought Rina, as she rolled up her sleeves, trying to avoid splashes from her own feet.
Budi, adik Rina yang lucu dan kadang-kadang menjengkelkan, mengikuti di belakang dengan payung besar biru yang hampir menutupi seluruh jalan.
Budi, Rina's funny and occasionally annoying younger brother, followed behind with a big blue umbrella that nearly covered the entire street.
"Kak, aku sudah bilang, kita bisa pakai mobil saja," keluh Budi sambil mencoba menyeimbang payung yang lebih besar darinya.
"Sis, I told you, we could have taken the car," Budi complained while trying to balance the umbrella that was bigger than him.
"Ini lebih seru, Budi!
"This is more fun, Budi!"
" sahut Rina.
Rina replied.
Mereka menyusuri barisan kios yang menjual segala sesuatu mulai dari buah segar, kain batik, hingga perhiasan buatan tangan.
They walked past rows of stalls selling everything from fresh fruit, batik fabric, to handmade jewelry.
Rina berhenti di sebuah kios yang menjual kerajinan tangan.
Rina stopped at a stall selling handicrafts.
"Kak, kenapa tidak coba beli gelang yang ini?
"Sis, why don't you try buying this bracelet?"
" Budi menunjuk gelang kayu yang dicat dengan warna-warna cerah.
Budi pointed at a wooden bracelet painted in bright colors.
"Hum, belum cocok," jawab Rina, meski sebenarnya cukup tertarik.
"Hmm, not quite right," Rina replied, although she was actually quite interested.
Hujan semakin deras.
The rain got heavier.
Langit seperti tidak menunjukkan ampun.
The sky seemed unforgiving.
Payung yang dipegang Budi akhirnya menyerah dan terbalik tertiup angin.
The umbrella Budi was holding finally surrendered and turned inside out, blown by the wind.
Budi tertawa, dan malah menari-nari di bawah hujan sambil memegang payung yang rusak.
Budi laughed and started dancing in the rain, holding the broken umbrella.
Beberapa orang di pasar ikut tertawa menonton tingkah aneh Budi.
Some people in the market laughed as they watched Budi's strange antics.
"Budi, ayo cari tempat berteduh sebentar," ajak Rina sambil menarik lengan adiknya.
"Budi, let's find some shelter for a bit," said Rina, pulling her brother's arm.
Mereka berlindung di bawah sebuah tenda kios kelontong yang menyediakan demo kerajinan tangan.
They took refuge under the tent of a grocery stall where a craft demo was being held.
Penjual sedang menunjukkan cara membuat gelang rajut.
The vendor was showing how to make woven bracelets.
Budi memperhatikan dengan seksama.
Budi watched attentively.
Tiba-tiba, dia mengambil benang dan mulai mencoba membuat gelang sendiri.
Suddenly, he grabbed some thread and started trying to make his own bracelet.
Dengan pantang menyerah, dia duduk di tengah hujan dan kerumunan pasar.
Undeterred, he sat amidst the rain and market crowd.
Rina melihat hasil pekerjaan Budi.
Rina looked at Budi's handiwork.
Gelang yang dibuat adiknya indah dan unik.
The bracelet her brother made was beautiful and unique.
"Aku tidak tahu kalau kamu bisa membuat sesuatu yang seperti ini," ucap Rina kagum.
"I didn’t know you could make something like this," Rina said, amazed.
"Setidaknya aku bisa berguna, bukan?
"At least I can be useful, right?"
" saut Budi sambil tersenyum lebar.
Budi replied with a wide grin.
Rina menyadari inilah hadiah sempurna untuk Sari.
Rina realized this was the perfect gift for Sari.
Dengan hati-hati, dia menyelesaikan gelang itu bersama Budi.
Carefully, she finished the bracelet with Budi.
Pada hari ulang tahun Sari, Rina memberikan gelang buatan tangan itu.
On Sari's birthday, Rina gave her the handmade bracelet.
Sari memasangnya di pergelangan tangannya dan berseri-seri.
Sari put it on her wrist and beamed.
"Ini indah sekali, Rina.
"This is so beautiful, Rina.
Terima kasih!
Thank you!"
"Hari itu, Rina belajar bahwa kadang-kadang rencana yang tidak terduga bisa membawa kejutan yang luar biasa.
That day, Rina learned that sometimes unexpected plans can lead to extraordinary surprises.
Budi, dengan cara yang unik, membantu Rina menemukan hadiah yang tepat.
Budi, in his own unique way, helped Rina find the right gift.
Ternyata, sedikit keanehan, keceriaan, dan hujan bisa menjadi bagian dari kisah yang tak terlupakan.
Indeed, a little quirkiness, cheerfulness, and rain can be part of an unforgettable story.
