Among the crowd was Putri, Arif, and Dewi, their mother.

Ketiganya baru tiba pagi itu, siap untuk menjelajahi beragam budaya Indonesia.

The three of them had just arrived that morning, ready to explore the diverse cultures of Indonesia.

Putri, seorang remaja yang selalu ingin tahu, merasa bersemangat.

Putri, a curious teenager, felt excited.

"Ayo, Bu!

"Come on, Mom!

Aku ingin melihat rumah adat dari Sulawesi!

I want to see the traditional house from Sulawesi!"

" protes Arif, adik laki-lakinya.

protested Arif, her younger brother.

Ia lebih tertarik pada bagian taman yang menampilkan teknologi terbaru dan permainan seru.

He was more interested in the section of the park showcasing the latest technology and exciting games.

Dewi memandang kedua anaknya dengan senyum sabar.

Dewi looked at her two children with a patient smile.

"Kita bisa melihat semuanya, satu per satu.

"We can see everything, one by one.

Mari kita mulai dari paviliun tradisional dulu.

Let's start with the traditional pavilions first."

"Dengan setuju setengah hati, Arif mengikuti sambil sesekali menoleh pada peta taman.

With half-hearted agreement, Arif followed while occasionally glancing at the park map.

Semakin dalam mereka melangkah, semakin Putri terpesona dengan berbagai rumah adat dan cerita di baliknya.

The deeper they walked, the more Putri was fascinated by the various traditional houses and the stories behind them.

Setiap rumah penuh dengan ukiran, pernik tradisional, dan cerita yang menghidupkan sejarah.

Each house was filled with carvings, traditional ornaments, and stories that brought history to life.

"Ayo, kita pergi ke sana!

"Let's go there!"

" Putri menunjuk ke arah panggung di mana sebuah pertunjukan tari sedang dimulai.

Putri pointed towards a stage where a dance performance was beginning.

Rombongan penari dengan busana gemerlap menari dengan anggun.

A troupe of dancers in sparkling costumes danced gracefully.

Setiap gerakan menceritakan kisah leluhur yang mengalir dalam nada musik gamelan.

Every movement told the stories of ancestors flowing with the gamelan music.

Arif, bagaimanapun, sudah tidak sabar.

Arif, however, was already impatient.

"Putri, aku pergi ke sini!

"Putri, I'm going over here!

Ada simulator keren di dekat gerbang masuk!

There's a cool simulator near the entrance gate!"

" katanya sambil melangkah pergi, meninggalkan Dewi dan Putri.

he said as he walked away, leaving Dewi and Putri.

Melihat Arif pergi, Putri merasa sedikit kecewa tetapi juga tertarik pada cerita di depan matanya.

Seeing Arif leave, Putri felt a bit disappointed but was also captivated by the story in front of her.

Ia memutuskan untuk tetap tinggal dan mendengarkan lebih lanjut.

She decided to stay and listen further.

Seorang penari senior mendekatinya setelah pertunjukan, mengajak Putri berbincang.

A senior dancer approached her after the performance, inviting Putri to chat.

"Pernahkah kamu mendengar tentang asal usul tari ini?

"Have you ever heard about the origin of this dance?"

" tanya penari senior itu, wajahnya penuh keriput namun matanya bersemangat.

asked the senior dancer, her face full of wrinkles but her eyes lively.

"Belum, Bu.

"Not yet, Ma'am.

Bisa ceritakan padaku?

Could you tell me?"

" jawab Putri.

replied Putri.

Dalam waktu singkat, Putri tenggelam dalam kisah tentang pahlawan-pahlawan masa lalu dan bagaimana tari itu terinspirasi dari keberanian mereka.

In a short time, Putri was engrossed in the stories of past heroes and how the dance was inspired by their bravery.

Di saat tersebut, Putri merasakan gelombang perasaan terhubung dengan budaya leluhurnya yang belum pernah ia rasakan sebelumnya.

In that moment, Putri felt a wave of connection with her ancestral culture that she had never felt before.

Saat senja menjelang, keluarga kecil itu berkumpul kembali di pintu keluar taman.

As evening approached, the small family gathered again at the park's exit.

Arif dengan semangat bercerita tentang permainan seru yang dicobanya.

Arif enthusiastically talked about the exciting games he tried.

Dewi tersenyum, lega melihat kedua anaknya senang.

Dewi smiled, relieved to see her two children happy.

Putri pun berbagi pengalamannya.

Putri also shared her experience.

"Aku bertemu dengan seorang nenek yang menari.

"I met a grandmother who danced.

Dia menceritakan banyak hal!

She told me so many things!

Sekarang aku ingin belajar lebih banyak tentang budaya kita.

Now I want to learn more about our culture."

"Arif, yang awalnya hanya ingin bersenang-senang, tertarik dengan antusiasme kakaknya.

Arif, who initially just wanted to have fun, became interested in his sister's enthusiasm.

"Sepertinya seru juga!

"That sounds fun too!

Mungkin besok kita bisa ke museum, Bu?

Maybe tomorrow we can go to a museum, Mom?"

"Dewi mengangguk, puas melihat semangat baru anak-anaknya.

Dewi nodded, pleased to see her children's newfound enthusiasm.

"Tentu saja, kita bisa mengatur itu.

"Of course, we can arrange that."

"Malam itu, beranjak pulang, Putri merasa lebih kaya di hati dan pikiran.

That night, as they headed home, Putri felt richer in heart and mind.

Harinya di Taman Mini Indonesia Indah bukan hanya perjalanan biasa, tetapi sebuah perjalanan untuk menemukan akar identitasnya, yang kini semakin erat di dalam dirinya.

Her day at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah was not just an ordinary trip, but a journey to discover the roots of her identity, which now felt more deeply ingrained within her.
