Langit pagi itu berwarna biru cerah dengan awan putih yang menggantung malas.
The morning sky was a bright blue with white clouds lazily hanging around.
Di desa yang dikelilingi bukit-bukit hijau, terhampar sawah luas yang berwarna hijau terang.
In the village surrounded by green hills, a vast expanse of rice fields stretched out in a bright green hue.
Di antara batang padi yang menjulang, Dewi berdiri dengan tangan di pinggang.
Among the towering rice stalks, Dewi stood with her hands on her hips.
Hari panen sudah tiba, tetapi langit mulai berubah lebih awal dari yang diharapkan.
The harvest day had arrived, but the sky started changing earlier than expected.
"Kelihatannya hujan akan turun lebih cepat," kata Arif, pemuda yang selalu membantu Dewi dan keluarganya di ladang.
"It looks like the rain is going to fall sooner," said Arif, a young man who always helped Dewi and her family in the fields.
"Iya, kita harus mulai panen sekarang," jawab Dewi, suaranya mantap.
"Yes, we have to start the harvest now," replied Dewi with steady voice.
Dia tahu risiko yang dihadapinya.
She knew the risks she faced.
Jika mereka menunggu terlalu lama, hujan bisa merusak seluruh panen.
If they waited too long, the rain could ruin the entire harvest.
Sinta, adik Dewi, datang dengan keranjang bambu di tangannya.
Sinta, Dewi's sister, arrived with a bamboo basket in her hands.
"Apakah kita bisa melakukannya, Kak?
"Can we do this, Sis?"
" tanyanya, matanya penuh ketakutan.
she asked, her eyes filled with fear.
"Harus bisa.
"We have to.
Kita semua akan bekerja bersama," kata Dewi, berusaha menyemangati adiknya.
We will all work together," said Dewi, trying to encourage her sister.
Mereka bertiga mulai memotong batang padi dengan sabit kecil.
The three of them began cutting the rice stalks with small sickles.
Ayah dan ibu Dewi sudah di bagian lain sawah, bekerja sekuat tenaga.
Dewi's father and mother were already in another part of the field, working with all their might.
Keringat mulai bercucuran dari dahi Dewi, tapi dia tidak berhenti.
Sweat started pouring down Dewi's forehead, but she didn't stop.
Pikiran tentang toko kecil di kota mendorongnya untuk terus bekerja.
Thoughts of a small shop in town motivated her to keep working.
Namun, tak lama kemudian, awan gelap mengumpul lebih banyak.
However, not long after, more dark clouds gathered.
Tetesan hujan pertama jatuh.
The first drops of rain began to fall.
Dewi merasa cemas, tetapi dia menguatkan diri.
Dewi felt anxious, but she steeled herself.
"Kita hampir selesai," katanya kepada Arif dan Sinta, meskipun dia sendiri mulai meragukannya.
"We're almost done," she said to Arif and Sinta, even though she herself started to doubt it.
Dalam sekejap, hujan mulai turun deras.
In an instant, the rain started pouring down heavily.
Dewi, Arif, dan Sinta berlari ke tepian sawah sambil tetap membawa keranjang penuh padi.
Dewi, Arif, and Sinta ran to the edge of the field, still carrying baskets full of rice.
Mereka basah kuyup tapi tetap berusaha menyelamatkan hasil kerja keras mereka.
They were soaking wet, but they continued to try to save the fruits of their hard work.
Hujan berlangsung hingga sore hari.
The rain lasted until the afternoon.
Setelah reda, Dewi dan keluarganya berkumpul di rumah, memeriksa hasil panen.
After it subsided, Dewi and her family gathered at home to check the harvest.
Meskipun banyak yang rusak, sebagian besar selamat berkat usaha keras mereka.
Although much was ruined, most were saved thanks to their hard efforts.
"Aku tahu ini tidak cukup untuk rencana toko kecilmu," kata ibunya dengan lembut.
"I know it's not enough for your small shop plan," her mother said gently.
Dewi menunduk sejenak, hatinya kecewa.
Dewi bowed her head for a moment, her heart disappointed.
"Tapi kita punya cukup untuk bertahan," tambah ayahnya, menepuk bahu Dewi.
"But we have enough to get by," her father added, patting Dewi on the shoulder.
Dewi tersenyum tipis.
Dewi gave a faint smile.
Mungkin mimpinya harus ditunda, tetapi dia melihat sekeliling dan merasa bersyukur.
Perhaps her dream had to be postponed, but she looked around and felt grateful.
Mereka bersama, mereka keluarga.
They were together; they were family.
Itu pun berharga.
That was valuable too.
Hari itu, Dewi memahami bahwa memimpikan masa depan tidak boleh menghalangi nilai dari saat ini.
That day, Dewi understood that dreaming of the future should not overshadow the value of the present moment.
Dia mengerti bahwa kekuatan dan dukungan dari keluarga dan komunitasnya adalah harta yang tak ternilai.
She realized that the strength and support from her family and community was an invaluable treasure.
Dengan itu, dia siap menyongsong hari baru, penuh harapan.
With that, she was ready to face a new day, full of hope.
