Di bawah langit abu-abu Bali, matahari sesekali menembus awan tebal, memberikan kilauan indah di atas air biru-hijau.

Under the gray skies of Bali, the sun occasionally pierced through the thick clouds, casting a beautiful shimmer over the blue-green water.

Putri, Rendra, dan Adi bersama teman-teman sekelas mereka berdiri di tepi pantai, siap memulai perjalanan lapangan biologi laut di terumbu karang Bali.

Putri, Rendra, and Adi along with their classmates stood at the seaside, ready to start their marine biology field trip at the coral reefs of Bali.

Rendra, mahasiswa yang rajin, merasa gelisah.

Rendra, a diligent student, felt anxious.

Dia senang dengan kehidupan laut, tetapi kurang percaya diri.

He loved marine life, but lacked confidence.

Sementara itu, Putri, teman sekelasnya yang ceria, selalu mendorong Rendra untuk lebih berani.

Meanwhile, Putri, his cheerful classmate, always encouraged Rendra to be more daring.

Adi, si penggoda kelas, tidak pernah melewatkan kesempatan untuk bercanda, terkadang membuat Rendra tidak nyaman.

Adi, the class joker, never missed an opportunity to jest, sometimes making Rendra uncomfortable.

Hati Rendra berdebar setiap kali Adi mulai berbicara.

Rendra's heart raced every time Adi started talking.

Saat kelompok mereka mulai menjelajahi bagian terumbu karang yang berwarna-warni, suara ombak menjadi latar belakang yang menenangkan tetapi juga menantang.

As their group began exploring the colorful parts of the coral reef, the sound of the waves offered a calming yet challenging backdrop.

Rendra berjalan dengan hati-hati, memperhatikan anemon laut yang bergoyang dan ikan-ikan kecil yang berenang di antara karang.

Rendra walked carefully, observing the swaying sea anemones and little fish swimming among the corals.

Tiba-tiba, sesuatu menarik perhatian Rendra.

Suddenly, something caught Rendra's attention.

Seekor ikan yang tidak biasa dengan pola bintik merah dan garis biru berenang melintasi pandangannya.

An unusual fish with red spots and blue stripes swam across his view.

Rendra mengenali ikan itu dari buku yang sering ia baca—seekor spesies langka yang jarang terlihat di daerah ini.

Rendra recognized the fish from a book he often read—a rare species seldom seen in this area.

"Duh, ini kesempatanku," pikir Rendra.

"This is my chance," Rendra thought.

Tapi kemudian, dia ragu.

But then, he hesitated.

Bagaimana jika ia salah melihat?

What if he saw it wrong?

Bagaimana jika Adi menertawakannya?

What if Adi laughed at him?

Keraguan memenuhi pikirannya.

Doubt filled his mind.

Namun, waktunya hampir habis.

However, time was running out.

Guru mereka mulai memanggil, hendak mengakhiri perjalanan.

Their teacher began calling, about to end the trip.

Putri yang berada di sampingnya menyadari keraguan di wajah Rendra dan dengan lembut menggenggam lengannya, memberinya dorongan tanpa kata.

Putri, standing beside him, noticed the doubt on Rendra's face and gently held his arm, giving him a wordless encouragement.

Keberanian seketika masuk ke dalam diri Rendra.

Courage instantly surged within Rendra.

Dengan suara sedikit gemetar, dia akhirnya berkata, "Bu, saya pikir saya melihat ikan Spurwing yang langka.

With a slightly trembling voice, he finally said, "Ma'am, I think I saw a rare Spurwing fish."

"Guru mereka berbalik, mata tertarik penuh minat.

Their teacher turned, eyes full of interest.

"Apa benar?

"Really?

Tunjukkan kami, Rendra," katanya dengan senyum bangga.

Show us, Rendra," she said with a proud smile.

Rendra memimpin mereka ke arah ikan, dan saat mereka melihatnya, seluruh kelompok terkesan.

Rendra led them to the fish, and as they saw it, the whole group was impressed.

Guru memuji pengamatan tajamnya, sementara teman-teman sekelas, termasuk Adi, mulai bertepuk tangan.

The teacher praised his keen observation, while his classmates, including Adi, began to applaud.

"Hebat, Rendra!

"Great job, Rendra!"

" seru Adi dengan tawa yang tulus, bukan ejekan.

exclaimed Adi with genuine laughter, not mockery.

Dengan senyum malu tetapi puas, Rendra merasa kepercayaan dirinya meningkat.

With a shy but satisfied smile, Rendra felt his confidence grow.

Dia menyadari bahwa selama ini dia hanya memerlukan sedikit dorongan dan keberanian untuk bersinar.

He realized that all along he just needed a little encouragement and courage to shine.

Hari itu, tidak hanya menemukan spesies ikan yang langka, tetapi juga menemukan keberanian dalam dirinya sendiri.

That day, he not only discovered a rare fish species but also found bravery within himself.

Akhirnya, Rendra merasa lebih nyaman di antara teman-temannya dan lebih percaya pada kemampuannya.

In the end, Rendra felt more at ease among his friends and more confident in his abilities.

Terumbu karang Bali bukan hanya rumah bagi keindahan laut, tetapi juga tempat Rendra menemukan kekuatan baru dalam dirinya sendiri.

The coral reefs of Bali were not just home to marine beauty, but also the place where Rendra discovered a newfound strength within himself.
