Hujan turun deras di pesantren di Yogyakarta.

Nyepi sudah dekat, meski ini bukan tradisi Jawa, namun dihormati di Indonesia.

Rian berkumpul bersama Dewi, kakaknya.

Rian gathered with Dewi, his older sister.

Dia selalu menasihati Rian agar menghormati ajaran keluarga.

She always advised Rian to respect the family teachings.

Namun, Rian ingin tahu dunia di luar pesantren.

Dia sering bicara soal ide-ide modern.

He often talked about modern ideas.

"Wah, Nyepi ya, Rian," kata Amir.

"Wow, Nyepi, huh, Rian," said Amir.

"Hari itu, tidak ada kebisingan.

"On that day, there’s no noise.

Hebat ya, kalau bisa begitu di sini?"

Isn’t it amazing if that could happen here?"

Rian menjawab, "Aku penasaran apa yang bisa kita pelajari dari Nyepi, mungkin bisa gabung dengan tradisi kita."

Rian replied, "I'm curious about what we can learn from Nyepi; maybe we can incorporate it with our traditions."

Dewi mendengar percakapan mereka.

Dewi heard their conversation.

Dia mengerutkan kening.

She frowned.

"Jangan sampai tersesat, Rian.

"Don't get lost, Rian.

Tradisi kita berharga."

Our traditions are precious."

Rian merasa bimbang.

Rian felt torn.

Ia menghormati Dewi, tetapi juga ingin belajar hal baru.

He respected Dewi, but he also wanted to learn new things.

Kemudian, rencana debat sekolah muncul di pikirannya.

Then, the idea of the school debate popped into his mind.

Ini kesempatan yang tepat.

The sound of rain was soothing on the rooftops.

Dewi dan Amir duduk di antara penonton.

Dewi and Amir sat among the audience.

Rian maju ke depan.

Rian stepped forward.

Hatinya berdebar-debar.

His heart was pounding.

"Kita bisa menghormati tradisi sambil belajar dari luar," Rian berkata lantang.

"We can respect traditions while learning from outside," Rian said confidently.

"Bagaimana kalau kita adakan acara tukar budaya tahunan?

"How about hosting an annual cultural exchange event?

Dengan begitu, kita belajar tanpa meninggalkan akar."

That way, we learn without leaving our roots behind."

Dewi memandang Rian dengan mata penuh pertimbangan. Sementara Amir tersenyum mendukung.

Dewi looked at Rian with eyes full of consideration, while Amir smiled in support.

Setelah debat usai, Dewi mendekati Rian.

After the debate ended, Dewi approached Rian.

"Kamu bicara dengan baik, dik.

"You spoke well, little brother.

Mungkin usulmu tidak buruk."

Maybe your suggestion isn’t bad."

Amir menepuk bahu Rian.

Amir patted Rian on the shoulder.

"Hebat, Rian!

"Great job, Rian!

Saya yakin acara tukar budaya akan membawa manfaat."

I believe a cultural exchange event will bring benefits."

Rian merasa lega.

Rian felt relieved.

Ia telah menemukan cara untuk menyatukan beragam pandangan.

He had found a way to unite diverse views.

Dengan keyakinan baru, ia tahu bahwa identitasnya bisa merangkul tradisi dan modernitas.

With newfound confidence, he knew that his identity could embrace both tradition and modernity.

Di pesantren yang dikelilingi hujan, Rian menyadari bahwa menghormati masa lalu dan membuka diri pada masa depan, keduanya sama-sama penting.

At the pesantren surrounded by rain, Rian realized that respecting the past and being open to the future are equally important.
