Di tengah hiruk-pikuk kunjungan sekolah ke Jakarta Aquarium, Rani dan Budi berada di antara gerombolan siswa lainnya yang bersemangat dan berceloteh.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the school visit to Jakarta Aquarium, Rani and Budi found themselves among a throng of enthusiastic and chattering students.

Ruangan gelap yang sejuk dihiasi cahaya lampu lembut yang memantulkan bayangan air berkilauan.

The cool, dimly lit room was adorned with soft lights reflecting shimmering water shadows.

Suara air berputar pelan menambah kedamaian di tengah keramaian.

The gentle sound of water swirling added to the tranquility amidst the crowd.

Rani, seorang siswi pemalu yang selalu ingin tahu, terpikat pada pameran cumi-cumi raksasa.

Rani, a shy yet curious student, was captivated by the giant squid exhibit.

Dia ingin melukis makhluk besar itu untuk proyek biologi sekolahnya.

She wanted to paint the large creature for her school biology project.

Namun, guru mereka sibuk memastikan semua siswa tetap bersama agar tidak ada yang tersesat.

However, their teacher was busy ensuring all the students stayed together so none would get lost.

Di sisi lain, Budi merasa sedikit terabaikan.

On the other hand, Budi felt a bit overlooked.

Dia adalah anak yang senang berbicara, tetapi sering merasa usahanya kurang diperhatikan oleh gurunya.

He was a kid who loved to talk but often felt his efforts went unnoticed by his teacher.

Dia punya ketertarikan kuat pada biologi laut, sama seperti Rani.

He had a strong interest in marine biology, just like Rani.

Ketika rombongan bergerak menuju bagian lain dari akuarium, Rani diam-diam memperlambat langkahnya.

As the group moved towards another part of the aquarium, Rani quietly slowed her pace.

Dia berharap bisa mendekati tangki cumi-cumi itu tanpa diketahui.

She hoped to get closer to the squid tank unnoticed.

Budi, yang kebetulan menoleh, melihat Rani tertinggal.

Budi, who happened to glance back, saw Rani falling behind.

Dia ragu sejenak sebelum memutuskan mengikuti Rani dari belakang.

He hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Rani.

Sesampainya di depan tangki cumi-cumi, Rani terpesona.

Upon reaching the squid tank, Rani was mesmerized.

Dengan hati-hati, dia mengeluarkan buku sketsa dan mulai menggambar.

Carefully, she took out her sketchbook and began to draw.

Budi berdiri di sampingnya, merasa kagum melihat ketekunan Rani.

Budi stood beside her, feeling amazed by Rani's dedication.

Namun, tidak lama kemudian, sengaja atau tidak, guru mereka menyadari ada dua siswanya yang hilang dari rombongan dan mulai mencarinya.

However, it wasn’t long before their teacher, whether accidentally or not, realized two of her students were missing from the group and began searching for them.

Budi dan Rani saling bertukar pandang, mengetahui bahwa mereka dalam masalah.

Budi and Rani exchanged looks, knowing they were in trouble.

Dengan cepat, Budi mengambil alih situasi.

Quickly, Budi took control of the situation.

"Ayo, kita harus kembali sebelum dicari-cari," bisiknya.

"Come on, we have to get back before we're searched for," he whispered.

Mereka berdua berlari kecil kembali ke kelompok utama.

Both of them jogged back to the main group.

Sesampainya di sana, Rani menyembunyikan buku sketsanya.

Once there, Rani hid her sketchbook.

Guru mereka terlihat lega melihat keduanya kembali.

Their teacher looked relieved to see them return.

Budi, yang biasanya kurang mendapatkan perhatian, dengan bangga menunjukkan sketsa Rani yang dipinjamnya sebentar.

Budi, who usually didn’t get much attention, proudly presented Rani's sketch that he borrowed for a moment.

"Kami hanya sedang mengerjakan proyek biologi, Bu.

"We were just working on a biology project, Ma’am."

" Sang guru melihat gambar itu dan tersenyum.

The teacher looked at the drawing and smiled.

"Hmm, ini luar biasa.

"Hmm, this is wonderful.

Saya senang sekali kalian tertarik," ujar gurunya sambil menyerahkan kembali sketsa kepada Budi.

I’m so glad you both are interested," said the teacher as she handed back the sketch to Budi.

Kata-kata pujian itu membuat hati Budi melonjak.

Those words of praise made Budi's heart soar.

Rani merasa lebih percaya diri mengetahui bahwa karyanya dihargai.

Rani felt more confident knowing her work was appreciated.

Ketika perjalanan berakhir, baik Rani maupun Budi sudah berubah.

When the trip ended, both Rani and Budi had changed.

Rani lebih berani menunjukkan minatnya yang sesungguhnya, sementara Budi menyadari bahwa ketenangan dan ketekunan bisa lebih memberikan hasil dari yang dia kira.

Rani was more daring in showing her true interests, while Budi realized that calmness and perseverance could yield more results than he imagined.

Saat meninggalkan akuarium, sinar matahari musim kemarau menyambut mereka.

As they left the aquarium, the rays of the summer sun greeted them.

Angin sepoi-sepoi membawa semangat baru dalam diri mereka berdua, mengingatkan mereka bahwa terkadang, sedikit keberanian bisa membawa perubahan besar.

A gentle breeze brought new vigor within them both, reminding them that sometimes, a little courage can bring about a big change.
