Di pagi hari yang sejuk di Ubud, Dewi melangkah masuk ke pasar tradisional.

On a cool morning in Ubud, Dewi stepped into the traditional market.

Udara dipenuhi aroma bunga kamboja dan dupa yang dibakar.

The air was filled with the scent of frangipani flowers and burning incense.

Hari Galungan semakin dekat, dan Dewi merasa antusias sekaligus cemas.

Hari Galungan was approaching, and Dewi felt both excited and anxious.

Dia ingin menjaga tradisi keluarga tetapi juga terbuka terhadap cara modern.

She wanted to uphold her family's traditions but was also open to modern ways.

Pasar itu ramai.

The market was bustling.

Penjual meneriakkan harga, dan pembeli sibuk tawar-menawar.

Vendors shouted prices, and buyers were busy bargaining.

Di samping Dewi, Adi, adik laki-lakinya, bermain dengan ponselnya, terlihat kurang tertarik dengan hiruk-pikuk di sekitarnya.

Beside Dewi, Adi, her younger brother, played with his phone, looking uninterested in the commotion around him.

Rini, bibi Dewi, mengikuti di belakang mereka dengan tenang.

Rini, Dewi's aunt, followed them calmly.

Bagi Rini, tradisi adalah harta yang harus dijaga dengan sungguh-sungguh.

For Rini, tradition is a treasure that must be preserved earnestly.

"Kita harus beli bunga ini untuk banten," ujar Dewi sambil menunjuk tumpukan bunga kenanga.

"We need to buy these flowers for banten," said Dewi as she pointed to a pile of ylang-ylang flowers.

Rini mengangguk setuju.

Rini nodded in agreement.

Adi sibuk mengambil foto untuk media sosial.

Adi was busy taking photos for social media.

“Mungkin ada cara lain,” pikir Dewi, mengingat betapa sulitnya kadang membuat banten sendiri.

"Maybe there's another way," thought Dewi, recalling how difficult it sometimes was to make banten herself.

Di sudut pasar, Dewi melihat kios yang menjual perlengkapan upacara yang sudah jadi.

At the corner of the market, Dewi saw a stall selling ready-made ceremonial supplies.

Mata Dewi berbinar, tapi sekaligus ragu.

Dewi's eyes sparkled, but she was also hesitant.

"Apakah ini langkah yang benar?

"Is this the right step?"

" bisik Dewi pada dirinya sendiri.

Dewi whispered to herself.

Rini melihat ragu di wajah Dewi dan mendekat.

Rini saw the doubt on Dewi's face and approached.

"Dewi, banten bukan cuma benda.

"Dewi, banten is not just an object.

Ini doa dan kasih sayang kita untuk leluhur," kata Rini lembut.

It's our prayers and love for the ancestors," said Rini gently.

“Kita bisa berbagi tugas, sehingga Adi juga bisa belajar.

"We can share the tasks so Adi can learn too."

”Dewi memikirkan kata-kata Rini.

Dewi pondered Rini's words.

Dia ingin lebih efisien, namun tak ingin kehilangan makna di balik tradisi ini.

She wanted to be more efficient but didn't want to lose the meaning behind the tradition.

Setelah lama merenung, Dewi memutuskan untuk membeli sebagian perlengkapan yang siap pakai sambil tetap membuat beberapa banten sendiri bersama Adi.

After much thought, Dewi decided to buy some ready-made supplies while still making some banten herself with Adi.

"Adi, ayo bantu Kak Dewi membuat canang ini," ajak Dewi dengan senyuman hangat.

"Adi, come help sis make this canang," invited Dewi with a warm smile.

Adi mengangkat pandangannya dari ponsel, terkejut tapi penasaran.

Adi looked up from his phone, surprised but curious.

“Sekali-kali tak apalah,” sahut Adi akhirnya, sambil mengambil daun kelapa.

"Once in a while is okay," Adi finally said, taking a palm leaf.

Saat sore berganti malam, Dewi dan Adi duduk bersama membuat banten di rumah.

As afternoon turned to night, Dewi and Adi sat together making banten at home.

Meskipun awalnya bingung, Adi mulai menikmati prosesnya.

Although initially confused, Adi began enjoying the process.

Rini memegang setiap banten dengan bangga, merasa lega karena tradisi ini masih hidup.

Rini held each banten proudly, relieved that the tradition was still alive.

Dewi menyadari bahwa dia bisa menghormati warisan leluhurnya dengan cara baru yang lebih nyaman.

Dewi realized that she could honor her ancestors' legacy in a new, more comfortable way.

Adi pun belajar menghargai nilai-nilai keluarga yang dia sangka kuno.

Adi also learned to appreciate the family values he once thought were old-fashioned.

Dalam diam, Dewi dan Adi menyadari bahwa meskipun zaman berubah, semangat Galungan adalah untuk menyatukan keluarga dalam doa dan kasih sayang.

In silence, Dewi and Adi realized that even though times change, the spirit of Galungan is to unite the family in prayer and love.

Ketika malam tiba, Dewi tersenyum puas.

When night came, Dewi smiled contently.

Dia berhasil menemukan keseimbangan antara tradisi dan efisiensi.

She had managed to find a balance between tradition and efficiency.

Dewi memandang Rini yang tersenyum bangga, dan Adi yang kini lebih menghargai budaya mereka.

Dewi looked at Rini, who smiled proudly, and Adi, who now appreciated their culture more.

Di antara aroma bunga dan dupa, Dewi merasa telah melangkah di jalan yang benar.

Among the scent of flowers and incense, Dewi felt she had stepped on the right path.
