Di tengah hutan Ubud Monkey Forest yang rimbun, Rina berdiri dengan penuh semangat.

In the midst of the lush Ubud Monkey Forest, Rina stood with enthusiasm.

Matanya berbinar-binar melihat pepohonan tinggi dan candi kuno yang tersembunyi di antara daun-daun hijau.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the tall trees and ancient temples hidden among the green leaves.

Ia menggenggam ponsel di tangan, siap untuk mengambil selfie dengan salah satu penghuni favoritnya — monyet yang lucu dan nakal.

She grasped her phone in her hand, ready to take a selfie with one of her favorite inhabitants — the cute and mischievous monkeys.

Di sebelahnya, Wira, seorang pemandu wisata lokal, tersenyum melihat antusiasme Rina.

Next to her, Wira, a local tour guide, smiled at Rina's excitement.

Dia sudah sering melihat wisatawan yang datang dengan harapan tinggi untuk mengabadikan momen sempurna dengan monyet-monyet itu.

He had often seen tourists come with high hopes to capture the perfect moment with the monkeys.

Namun ia tahu, monyet-monyet di sini tidak pernah gagal memberikan kejutan.

But he knew, the monkeys here never failed to surprise.

"Kalau mau selfie dengan monyet, harus siap sedia," kata Wira kepada Rina sambil tertawa kecil.

"If you want a selfie with the monkeys, you have to be prepared," Wira said to Rina with a small laugh.

"Mereka suka membuat ulah."

"They love to cause trouble."

Rina tersenyum percaya diri.

Rina smiled confidently.

Dia sudah merencanakan segalanya. "Aku sudah bawa pisang matang," katanya sambil menunjukkan sebungkus pisang yang khusus dibawa untuk keperluan ini.

She had planned everything. "I've brought ripe bananas," she said, showing a bunch of bananas she specifically brought for this purpose.

Saat mereka berjalan lebih dalam ke hutan, suara riuh rendah monyet terdengar.

As they walked deeper into the forest, the lively sounds of the monkeys could be heard.

Di salah satu pohon, tampak Bintang, seekor monyet yang terkenal dengan kenakalannya. Bintang memperhatikan Rina dengan tatapan penuh rasa ingin tahu.

In one of the trees, Bintang, a monkey known for its mischief, was watching Rina with a gaze full of curiosity.

Rina mengangkat pisang di tangannya.

Rina raised the banana in her hand.

Bintang dengan cepat turun dari pohon, mendekati Rina dengan langkah-langkah kecil namun gesit.

Bintang quickly descended from the tree, approaching Rina with small yet agile steps.

Hati Rina berdebar, ini saatnya!

Rina's heart pounded, it was the moment!

Dengan hati-hati, dia memegang pisang sambil bersiap dengan ponselnya.

Carefully, she held the banana while preparing with her phone.

Bintang, senang dengan perhatian yang diterimanya, mulai menghampiri lebih dekat.

Bintang, pleased with the attention, began to approach closer.

Tepat ketika Rina hendak menekan tombol kamera, Bintang melompat ke bahu Rina dan dengan gerakan cepat mencabut kacamata hitam dari wajahnya, lalu berlari menjauh.

Just as Rina was about to press the camera button, Bintang leaped onto Rina’s shoulder and with a swift move snatched the sunglasses from her face, then ran away.

"Aduh!" pekik Rina terkejut, tapi dia tak bisa menahan tawanya.

"Oh no!" Rina exclaimed in surprise, but she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Kacamata Rina kini berada di tangan Bintang, yang tampaknya sangat puas dengan perbuatan nakalnya itu.

Rina's sunglasses were now in Bintang's hands, who seemed very pleased with his naughty deed.

Wira buru-buru mendekat untuk membantu.

Wira quickly approached to help.

Setelah beberapa percobaan dan rayuan dengan pisang, akhirnya Wira berhasil mendapatkan kembali kacamata Rina dari tangan Bintang.

After several attempts and coaxing with bananas, Wira finally managed to retrieve Rina's sunglasses from Bintang's hands.

Riuh tawa dan suara monyet lainnya mengisi udara, menambah keramaian suasana sekitar.

The air filled with laughter and the chatter of other monkeys, adding to the lively atmosphere around.

Meskipun tak mendapatkan selfie sempurna yang diinginkannya, Rina justru memiliki deretan foto selfie penuh tawa dan keseruan tak terduga.

Even though she didn’t get the perfect selfie she wanted, Rina ended up with a series of selfies filled with unexpected laughter and fun.

Setiap gambar menampilkan momen-momen konyol dengan Bintang yang membuatnya tertawa berkepanjangan.

Every picture showcased silly moments with Bintang that made her laugh for a long time.

"Kadang-kadang, momen yang tak sempurna malah jadi kenangan paling berharga," kata Wira sambil tersenyum.

"Sometimes, imperfect moments become the most treasured memories," Wira said with a smile.

Rina mengangguk.

Rina nodded.

Dia kini mengerti, pengalaman ini jauh lebih menyenangkan dan penuh arti daripada sekadar foto sempurna.

She now understood, this experience was far more enjoyable and meaningful than just a perfect photo.

Dengan itu, dia meninggalkan Monkey Forest dengan wajah bahagia dan menyimpan kenangan istimewa bersama Bintang, si monyet nakal.

With that, she left the Monkey Forest with a happy face, cherishing the special memories with Bintang, the mischievous monkey.
