Hujan turun perlahan membasahi teras-teras hijau Ubud, Bali.

The rain descended gently, soaking the green terraces of Ubud, Bali.

Suara tetesan air bercampur dengan alunan jauh lonceng pura, menciptakan suasana damai di tengah hamparan sawah yang subur.

The sound of raindrops blended with the distant chime of temple bells, creating a peaceful atmosphere amidst the lush rice fields.

Hari itu, di sebuah rumah joglo di tengah teras hijau, Rama, Ayu, dan Dewi berkumpul untuk membahas sesuatu yang sangat penting bagi mereka.

That day, in a joglo house in the middle of the green terraces, Rama, Ayu, and Dewi gathered to discuss something very important to them.

Rama, anak tertua, menatap pemandangan di depannya.

Rama, the eldest child, gazed at the view in front of him.

Dia tahu bahwa diskusi akan sulit.

He knew the discussion would be difficult.

Sebagai kakak tertua, dia merasa tanggung jawab untuk memastikan segala sesuatu berjalan dengan adil.

As the oldest sibling, he felt the responsibility to ensure everything went fairly.

Namun, ada keinginan di hatinya yang tersembunyi, keinginan untuk melihat dunia diluar Bali.

However, he harbored a hidden desire, a longing to see the world beyond Bali.

Ayu, si anak tengah, adalah orang yang praktis.

Ayu, the middle child, was a practical person.

Dia sangat fokus pada kariernya dan selalu memikirkan masa depan.

She was very career-focused and always thought about the future.

Ketika datang ke masalah warisan, Ayu ingin memastikan bahwa uang tersebut diinvestasikan untuk masa depan yang aman.

When it came to the issue of inheritance, Ayu wanted to ensure that the money was invested for a secure future.

Ayu takut jika tidak digunakan dengan bijak, keuangan mereka bisa bermasalah.

Ayu feared that if it wasn’t used wisely, their finances could suffer.

Dewi, si bungsu, sangat mencintai rumah lama mereka.

Dewi, the youngest, loved their old home dearly.

Dia adalah jiwa yang bebas, senang berkarya dan melukis inspirasi dari pemandangan sekitar.

She was a free spirit, enjoying creating and drawing inspiration from the surrounding scenery.

Di benaknya, rumah itu adalah oasis keluarga, tempat yang dapat menyatukan mereka meskipun sudah beranjak dewasa dan memilih jalan masing-masing.

In her mind, the house was a family oasis, a place that could unite them even though they were growing up and choosing their own paths.

Dewi ingin warisan digunakan untuk merawat rumah nenek moyang mereka agar tetap menjadi tempat berkumpul keluarga.

Dewi wanted the inheritance to be used to maintain their ancestral home so that it would remain a gathering place for the family.

Di dalam rumah joglo, ketiganya duduk melingkar sambil menikmati segelas teh panas.

Inside the joglo house, the three of them sat in a circle while enjoying a cup of hot tea.

Suasana awal terasa kaku, setiap orang tenggelam dalam pikirannya masing-masing.

The initial atmosphere felt tense, with each person lost in their thoughts.

Saat hujan semakin deras, diskusi pun dimulai.

As the rain intensified, the discussion began.

"Bagaimana jika kita investasikan setengah untuk masa depan kita?

"What if we invest half for our future?

Ini akan menguntungkan semua orang," saran Ayu dengan nada yakin.

This will benefit everyone," suggested Ayu confidently.

"Saya mengerti pandanganmu, Ayu, tapi penting juga bagi kita untuk menjaga warisan budaya keluarga kita," jawab Dewi lembut, namun tegas.

"I understand your perspective, Ayu, but it's also important for us to preserve our family's cultural heritage," replied Dewi gently, yet firmly.

Rama mendengarkan dengan seksama.

Rama listened attentively.

Ia bisa merasakan dilema yang mereka hadapi.

He could sense the dilemma they were facing.

Ayu benar tentang seperti apa masa depan, tetapi Dewi juga benar tentang pentingnya menjaga tempat untuk bersama.

Ayu was right about what the future should look like, but Dewi was also correct about the importance of maintaining a place to be together.

Perdebatan menjadi lebih hangat ketika Ayu bersikeras, sementara Dewi hampir menangis memikirkan kemungkinan kehilangan rumah tersebut.

The debate grew more heated as Ayu insisted, while Dewi was almost moved to tears at the thought of possibly losing the house.

Pada saat itu, Rama akhirnya bicara.

At that moment, Rama finally spoke.

"Aku mengerti perasaan kalian.

"I understand your feelings.

Warisan ini harus berguna bagi kita semua, tetapi kita juga perlu menghargai tempat yang sudah memberi banyak kenangan bagi keluarga kita," kata Rama tegas namun bijaksana.

This inheritance must be useful for all of us, but we also need to appreciate the place that has given our family so many memories," said Rama firmly yet wisely.

Setelah diskusi panjang dan berbagi perasaan mereka yang terdalam, akhirnya ketiganya mencapai kesepakatan.

After a long discussion and sharing their deepest feelings, the three finally reached an agreement.

Mereka memutuskan untuk menginvestasikan separuh dari warisan dan menggunakan sisanya untuk menjaga rumah tetap berdiri.

They decided to invest half of the inheritance and use the rest to keep the house standing.

Bagi Rama, keputusan ini bukan hanya mengenai keuangan atau rumah.

For Rama, this decision was not just about finances or the house.

Ia menyadari betapa berharganya momen kebersamaan dengan keluarganya.

He realized how valuable the moments spent with his family were.

Walaupun dia sangat ingin menjelajah dunia, dia memilih untuk menunda rencana perjalanannya.

Even though he had a strong desire to explore the world, he chose to postpone his travel plans.

Menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu dengan Ayu dan Dewi terasa lebih penting saat ini.

Spending more time with Ayu and Dewi felt more important at this time.

Petang itu, saat hujan mulai reda dan matahari mulai bersembunyi, ketiga saudara itu berdiri di tepi teras.

That evening, as the rain began to recede and the sun began to hide, the three siblings stood at the edge of the terrace.

Mereka meresapi ketenangan Ubud, merasa bersyukur telah menemukan keseimbangan antara masa depan dan tradisi.

They absorbed the tranquility of Ubud, feeling grateful to have found a balance between the future and tradition.

Dalam hatinya, Rama tahu, menemukan makna baru tentang apa artinya pulang.

In his heart, Rama knew he had discovered a new meaning of what it meant to come home.

Bersama, mereka menatap sawah yang membentang, meyakini bahwa mereka akan selalu memiliki satu sama lain.

Together, they gazed at the sprawling rice fields, believing that they would always have each other.
