Hujan rintik-rintik mengetuk lembut atap skylight perpustakaan universitas di Jakarta.

The gentle drizzle softly tapped on the skylight roof of the university library in Jakarta.

Di balik jendela besar, Ilham duduk di meja sudut, buku-buku tersebar di sekeliling laptopnya.

Behind the large window, Ilham sat at a corner table, books scattered around his laptop.

Selama musim hujan ini, aroma tanah basah menyelinap masuk melalui celah jendela.

During this rainy season, the scent of wet earth sneaked in through the window cracks.

Ilham adalah mahasiswa jurusan ilmu komputer.

Ilham was a computer science student.

Dia rajin, tetapi kadang merasa ragu atas kemampuannya sendiri.

He was diligent, but sometimes doubted his own abilities.

Di meja sebelahnya, Rini, sahabatnya yang ceria, tengah menatap layar laptop dengan penuh semangat.

At the table next to him, Rini, his cheerful friend, was looking eagerly at her laptop screen.

Rini, mahasiswa psikologi, dikenal dengan nasihatnya yang bijak dan pandangannya yang positif.

Rini, a psychology student, was known for her wise advice and positive outlook.

Nyepi, hari raya keheningan bagi umat Hindu, akan tiba sebentar lagi.

Nyepi, the day of silence for Hindus, was approaching soon.

Di balik hiruk-pikuk persiapan ujian tengah semester, keheningan Nyepi terasa menggoda.

Amid the hustle and bustle of midterm exam preparations, the silence of Nyepi seemed tempting.

Ilham merasa tertekan; beban beasiswa dan harapan orang tua memenuhi pikirannya.

Ilham felt pressured; the burden of scholarships and parental expectations filled his thoughts.

Ia sering kali membandingkan dirinya dengan teman-teman yang lain, merasa tak setara, sementara suara hujan terus-menerus membuyarkan konsentrasinya.

He often compared himself to others, feeling inadequate, while the continuous sound of rain distracted him.

Saat waktu istirahat tiba, Ilham menarik napas dalam-dalam.

When break time arrived, Ilham took a deep breath.

Ini saatnya.

This was the moment.

Dengan perasaan campur aduk, ia akhirnya memutuskan untuk bicara dengan Rini.

With mixed feelings, he finally decided to talk to Rini.

"Rin, aku khawatir gak akan bisa dapat nilai bagus di ujian nanti," Ilham mengaku dengan suara kecil.

"Rin, I'm worried I won't be able to get good grades in the exams," Ilham confessed in a small voice.

Rini tersenyum lembut.

Rini smiled gently.

"Kamu sudah bekerja keras, Ham. Mungkin kamu hanya perlu melihat hal ini dari sudut pandang yang berbeda.

"You've worked hard, Ham. Maybe you just need to see this from a different perspective.

Bagaimana kalau kita buat rencana belajar yang fokus pada kekuatanmu?"

How about we create a study plan that focuses on your strengths?"

Sampai Nyepi tiba, mereka sering bertemu di perpustakaan.

Until Nyepi arrived, they often met in the library.

Rini membantu Ilham menyusun jadwal belajar yang realistis dan menekankan keahlian Ilham di bidang tertentu.

Rini helped Ilham organize a realistic study schedule and emphasized his skills in certain areas.

Nyepi pun datang, memberikan Ilham kesempatan untuk merenung di tengah sunyinya kota Jakarta.

Nyepi came, offering Ilham a chance to reflect amidst the stillness of Jakarta.

Saat semuanya terhenti dalam keheningan, Ilham menyadari sesuatu.

When everything paused in silence, Ilham realized something.

Keheningan Nyepi memberi Ilham ruang untuk bernapas, mengingatkannya untuk menerima kelemahan dan kekuatan diri sendiri.

The stillness of Nyepi gave Ilham space to breathe, reminding him to accept both his weaknesses and strengths.

Sinar matahari yang menembus jendela perpustakaan setelah hujan reda, menandakan harapan baru.

The sunlight piercing through the library window after the rain stopped signified new hope.

Ilham merasa tenang, lebih percaya diri.

Ilham felt calm, more confident.

Ketika ujian tiba, dia menjalaninya dengan keyakinan, dan tidak lagi sibuk memikirkan kesempurnaan.

When the exams came, he approached them with assurance, no longer preoccupied with perfection.

Sebaliknya, dia menghargai setiap kemajuan yang dia capai, terlepas dari hasil akhirnya.

Instead, he appreciated every progress he made, regardless of the final outcome.

Dari momen keheningan itu, Ilham belajar bahwa terkadang yang kita butuhkan hanyalah menenangkan diri dan merenungkan perjalanan yang sudah kita lalui.

From that moment of silence, Ilham learned that sometimes what we need is just to calm down and reflect on the journey we've traversed.

Dengan hati yang lebih ringan, kini dia siap menghadapi tantangan berikutnya, satu langkah pasti pada satu waktu.

With a lighter heart, he was now ready to face the next challenge, one sure step at a time.
