In the bustling crowd of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, a young man named Rizky stood uncertain.

Udara kering musim kemarau terasa panas di kulitnya.

The dry air of the dry season felt hot on his skin.

Kerumunan orang terburu-buru melewati keamanan, bau kopi yang kuat tercium dari kafe bandara, dan pengumuman terus-menerus terdengar dari sistem pengeras suara.

Crowds rushed past security, the strong smell of coffee wafted from the airport café, and announcements constantly echoed from the loudspeakers.

Rizky was on his way to Kuala Lumpur for a university exchange program.

Dia ingin menunjukkan pada ibunya bahwa dia bisa mandiri.

He wanted to show his mother that he could be independent.

Namun ada satu masalah besar.

However, there was one big problem.

Di kantong ranselnya, Rizky merasakan getaran yang tidak biasa.

In his backpack pocket, Rizky felt an unusual vibration.

Dia membuka ranselnya hati-hati dan menemukan Si Manis, kucing kesayangan ibunya, bersembunyi di antara pakaian.

He cautiously opened his backpack and found Si Manis, his mother’s beloved cat, hiding among his clothes.

"Astaga, bagaimana bisa ini terjadi?

"Oh my gosh, how did this happen?"

" bisik Rizky penuh panik.

Rizky whispered in panic.

Rizky tahu dia tidak punya banyak waktu.

Rizky knew he didn't have much time.

Pesawatnya akan segera berangkat.

His flight was about to depart.

Dia harus membuat keputusan cepat: mengakui kesalahannya dan menghadapi konsekuensinya, atau mencoba menyelundupkan Si Manis melalui keamanan dan menemukan solusi nanti.

He had to make a quick decision: admit his mistake and face the consequences, or try to smuggle Si Manis through security and find a solution later.

Saat di pos pemeriksaan, petugas keamanan meminta Rizky untuk meletakkan ranselnya di pemindai.

At the checkpoint, the security officer asked Rizky to place his backpack on the scanner.

Rizky semakin gugup, berharap Si Manis tetap diam.

Rizky grew more nervous, hoping Si Manis would stay quiet.

Tapi tiba-tiba, Si Manis mengeong keras.

But suddenly, Si Manis let out a loud meow.

Petugas keamanan menatap Rizky curiga.

The security officers stared at Rizky suspiciously.

"Apa itu suara kucing?

"Was that a cat?"

Rizky merasa detak jantungnya semakin cepat.

Rizky felt his heartbeat quicken.

"I-Iya, Pak.

"Y-Yes, sir.

Ini kucing ibu saya," jawab Rizky akhirnya, menatap lantai.

It's my mother's cat," Rizky finally replied, staring at the floor.

Petugas keamanan memandang Rizky dengan bingung.

The security officer looked at Rizky in confusion.

"Anda tidak boleh membawa hewan peliharaan di ransel Anda.

"You can't bring a pet in your backpack.

Ini melanggar peraturan.

It's against the rules."

"Rizky hampir putus asa.

Rizky almost despaired.

Tapi tiba-tiba, dari arah pintu masuk, muncul Ibu Rizky.

But suddenly, from the entrance, Rizky's mother appeared.

"Maafkan saya," kata ibunya sambil terengah-engah.

"Excuse me," she said, panting.

"Saya khawatir Si Manis tersesat.

"I was worried that Si Manis got lost.

Terima kasih sudah menemukannya, Rizky.

Thank you for finding her, Rizky."

"Perasaan lega dan malu bercampur jadi satu di hati Rizky.

A mix of relief and embarrassment filled Rizky's heart.

Ibunya mengambil Si Manis dari ranselnya dan tersenyum.

His mother took Si Manis out of his backpack and smiled.

"Pergilah, jangan sampai ketinggalan pesawatmu," katanya.

"Go on, don't miss your flight," she said.

Dengan cepat, Rizky berlari menuju gerbang keberangkatan.

As the plane took off, Rizky looked out the window and smiled.

Di dalam hatinya, dia berjanji akan lebih baik lagi di masa depan.
