Langit Bali tertutup awan kelabu ketika Arif dan Putri tiba di Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai.

The sky over Bali was covered with gray clouds when Arif and Putri arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Perjalanan study tour mereka akan berakhir, dan rasa senang bercampur cemas terlihat di wajah mereka.

Their study tour trip was coming to an end, and a mixture of joy and anxiety was visible on their faces.

Arif menikmati setiap momen di Bali, tapi ia juga merindukan rumah.

Arif enjoyed every moment in Bali, but he also missed home.

Putri, dengan rambut hitam terurai, berdiri di sampingnya, memikirkan persahabatan mereka yang semakin erat selama perjalanan ini.

Putri, with her long black hair, stood beside him, reflecting on the friendship that had deepened during this trip.

Di bandara, suasana ramai.

At the airport, the atmosphere was bustling.

Pengumuman suara keras silih berganti dengan suara koper-koper yang berderak.

Loud announcements alternated with the sound of rolling suitcases.

Di luar, hujan deras mengguyur landasan pacu, menunda berbagai jadwal penerbangan.

Outside, heavy rain poured onto the runway, delaying several flight schedules.

Arif ingin berbicara dengan Putri, tetapi keramaian bandara membuatnya gugup.

Arif wanted to talk with Putri, but the busy airport made him nervous.

"Akan jadi momen yang tepat kalau kita bisa ngobrol serius," pikir Arif, sambil melihat ke arah Putri yang sedang melihat ke luar jendela.

"It would be the right moment if we could have a serious talk," thought Arif, as he watched Putri staring out the window.

Nyepi, Hari Raya Ketenangan, akan segera tiba.

Nyepi, the Day of Silence, would soon arrive.

Seluruh Bali bersiap menyambut hari itu dengan tenang dan hening.

All of Bali was preparing to welcome the day with peace and quiet.

"Mungkin saat Nyepi, semua akan lebih mudah," kata Arif dalam hatinya.

"Maybe during Nyepi, everything will be easier," Arif thought to himself.

Namun, kesempatan berbicara hanya ada saat ini, ketika mereka masih di bandara, terjebak dalam suasana kacau.

However, the opportunity to talk was only available now, while they were still at the airport, caught in the chaotic setting.

Arif tahu ia harus mengambil langkah untuk mengungkapkan pikirannya.

Arif knew he had to take a step to express his thoughts.

"Putri," panggilnya pelan, namun Putri tidak mendengar karena hingar bingar sekitar.

"Putri," he called softly, but she didn’t hear him due to the surrounding noise.

Dengan tekad lebih bulat, Arif mendekati Putri, menarik nafas, dan mencoba lagi.

With a firmer resolve, Arif approached Putri, took a deep breath, and tried again.

"Putri, boleh bicara sebentar?" kalimat itu akhirnya keluar lebih jelas.

"Putri, can we talk for a moment?" he finally said more clearly.

Putri menoleh, menatap Arif dengan mata penuh rasa ingin tahu.

Putri turned, looking at Arif with curious eyes.

"Boleh. Apa yang mau kamu omongin?" tanyanya.

"Sure. What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

"Momen selama di Bali ini, aku merasa... kita jadi lebih dekat.

"During our time in Bali, I feel like... we've become closer.

Aku ingin kita tetap saling mengerti, meskipun nanti sudah kembali ke sekolah," ucap Arif, sambil berharap keberanian yang diperolehnya akan membawa dampak positif.

I want us to keep understanding each other, even when we're back at school," said Arif, hoping that the courage he had gathered would have a positive impact.

Putri tersenyum lembut, mendengarkan dengan sepenuh hati.

Putri smiled gently, listening wholeheartedly.

"Aku juga senang. Kita banyak berbagi pengalaman seru di sini," jawabnya.

"I'm glad too. We've shared a lot of exciting experiences here," she replied.

"Aku janji, Arif. Kita tetap bisa saling mendukung, meski sibuk dengan aktivitas sekolah."

"I promise, Arif. We can still support each other, even with the busy school activities."

Kemungkinan besar, penerbangan mereka akan semakin tertunda, memberi mereka lebih banyak waktu untuk berbagi cerita.

It was likely that their flight would be further delayed, giving them more time to share stories.

Kedua remaja itu duduk di salah satu sudut bandara, berbincang dengan lebih santai.

The two teenagers sat in one corner of the airport, chatting more casually.

Mereka menyadari bahwa persahabatan yang mereka miliki lebih berharga daripada risiko ketidakpastian yang mereka rasakan.

They realized that the friendship they had was more valuable than the uncertainty they felt.

Ketika suara pemberitahuan penerbangan akhirnya terdengar, Arif merasa lebih tenang.

When the flight announcement finally came through, Arif felt calmer.

Hujan mulai mereda.

The rain began to subside.

Meski Nyepi memaksa semua orang menjaga keheningan, Arif dan Putri tahu suara hati mereka tetap campur ria.

Although Nyepi required everyone to maintain silence, Arif and Putri knew their hearts sang together.

Badai yang melewati bukan hanya badai cuaca, tetapi juga badai emosi yang mereka lalui bersama.

The storm they had weathered together was not just the storm of the weather, but also the emotional storm they faced together.

Mereka pulang dengan janji, dengan hubungan yang lebih kuat dan hati yang lebih penuh.

They returned with promises, with a stronger relationship and fuller hearts.
