Di tengah gemerisik daun kering yang menghampar di halaman, berdiri kokoh bangunan ward psikiatri dengan jendelanya yang besar.

Amidst the rustling of dry leaves scattered across the yard, the sturdy structure of the psychiatric ward stood with its large windows.

Cahaya matahari siang menerobos masuk, menciptakan kilauan hangat di lantai koridornya.

The midday sunlight streamed in, creating a warm shimmer on the corridor's floor.

Raden, dengan pandangan tenangnya, duduk di sudut ruangan terapi.

Raden, with his calm gaze, sat in the corner of the therapy room.

Meski usianya baru akhir dua puluhan, garis di wajahnya seperti menggambarkan perenungan panjang.

Although he was only in his late twenties, the lines on his face seemed to reflect deep contemplation.

Dia tengah mencari makna dalam setiap detik kehidupan, sambil berjuang dengan rasa cemas.

He was searching for meaning in every second of life while battling anxiety.

Di pojok lain ruangan, Fitri duduk.

In another corner of the room, Fitri sat.

Semangatnya yang sempat redup kini berangsur kembali menyala.

Her spirit, once dimmed, was gradually reigniting.

Dia bertekad untuk membangun kembali rasa harga dirinya dari serpihan yang ada.

She was determined to rebuild her self-esteem from the shards that remained.

Pemulihan dari depresi menjadi target utamanya.

Recovery from depression was her primary goal.

Hari pertama Raden dan Fitri bertemu, adalah ketika sesi terapi kelompok membahas pentingnya 'bersyukur'.

The first day Raden and Fitri met was during a group therapy session discussing the importance of 'gratitude.'

Sebuah tema yang tampak mudah, namun menantang bagi mereka yang sedang berjuang dalam kegelapan pribadi.

A theme that seemed easy, yet challenging for those struggling in personal darkness.

Raden, melihat ke arah Fitri, merasa ada ketertarikan tersendiri.

Raden, looking towards Fitri, felt a particular intrigue.

Meski mereka sama-sama tertutup, dia merasakan kehangatan yang jarang ditemukan.

Though they were both introverted, he sensed a warmth rarely found.

Begitu sesi selesai, Raden memberanikan diri duduk di sebelah Fitri.

Once the session ended, Raden mustered the courage to sit beside Fitri.

"Hai, saya Raden. Apa kesanmu tentang sesi tadi?" tanyanya lirih, mencoba membuka percakapan.

"Hi, I’m Raden. What are your thoughts about today's session?" he asked softly, trying to start a conversation.

Fitri tersenyum tipis, sedikit gugup, namun merespons dengan suara yang menggetar. "Menarik, tapi tidak mudah diterapkan..."

Fitri gave a slight smile, a bit nervous, but responded with a trembling voice, "Interesting, but not easy to implement..."

Dari perbincangan sederhana itu, jalinan persahabatan dimulai.

From that simple conversation, a bond of friendship began.

Hari demi hari, Raden dan Fitri mulai berbagi lebih dari sekadar senyum.

Day by day, Raden and Fitri started sharing more than just smiles.

Mereka berbagi cerita, ketakutan, dan impian mereka, meski dengan langkah hati-hati.

They shared their stories, fears, and dreams, though with cautious steps.

Ketika hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia tiba, ward mengadakan perayaan sederhana.

When Indonesia's Independence Day arrived, the ward held a simple celebration.

Bendera merah-putih berkibar, dan suasana riang mengisi udara.

The red-and-white flag fluttered, and a cheerful atmosphere filled the air.

Namun, Fitri mengalami momen berat yang membuat dadanya sesak.

However, Fitri experienced a difficult moment that made her chest tighten.

Rasa takut dan cemas menyergap tanpa permisi.

Fear and anxiety struck unbidden.

Melihat itu, Raden tidak berpikir dua kali.

Seeing this, Raden didn't think twice.

Ia mendekati Fitri, memberinya dukungan yang dibutuhkan.

He approached Fitri, offering her the support she needed.

"Kau tidak sendiri. Bersamaku, kita bisa melewati ini," bisiknya lembut.

"You're not alone. With me, we can get through this," he whispered gently.

Sebagai tanda terima kasih, dan mungkin sebagai ungkapan kepercayaan, Fitri menceritakan kisahnya yang paling pribadi.

As a token of gratitude, and perhaps as an expression of trust, Fitri shared her most personal story.

Tangis dan tawa menyatu saat sore menjelang, memperlihatkan dua jiwa yang kini lebih terbuka.

Tears and laughter blended as the afternoon approached, revealing two souls now more open.

Seiring berlalunya waktu, ketakutan mereka perlahan larut dalam kehangatan kebersamaan.

As time passed, their fears slowly dissolved in the warmth of companionship.

Mereka menemukan kenyamanan dalam memahami satu sama lain.

They found comfort in understanding each other.

Hingga setelah perayaan berakhir, Raden dan Fitri melintasi gerbang ward bersama, langkah kaki mereka seolah menorehkan awal baru.

After the celebration ended, Raden and Fitri walked through the ward gates together, their steps marking a new beginning.

Mereka berjalan berdampingan di bawah langit cerah, menuju ke arah yang bagi keduanya adalah harapan.

They walked side by side under the clear sky, heading towards a direction that for both was hope.

Dalam perjalanan itu, Raden merasakan hatinya lebih ringan.

On that journey, Raden felt his heart become lighter.

Fitri, di sisi lain, merasa percaya diri seperti semula.

Fitri, on the other hand, felt as confident as before.

Dua jiwa yang dulunya terjebak dalam dinding ketakutan kini meniti jalan ke masa depan lebih cerah.

Two souls once trapped within the walls of fear now tread a path to a brighter future.

Setiap langkah mereka adalah simbol dari keberanian untuk memulai lembaran baru dalam hidup.

Each step they took symbolized the courage to start a new chapter in life.

Meski tidak ada janji besar, mereka tahu, selama ada kebersamaan, mereka bisa bangkit bersama-sama.

Though there were no grand promises, they knew, as long as there was togetherness, they could rise together.
