Di tengah cahaya matahari sore yang lembut, Taman Suropati menjadi tempat pertemuan bagi mereka yang mencari hiburan sederhana di Jakarta.
In the soft afternoon sunlight, Taman Suropati becomes a meeting place for those seeking simple entertainment in Jakarta.
Jalan setapak di taman itu dipenuhi pepohonan tinggi yang memberikan keteduhan dari sinar matahari yang terik di musim kemarau.
The paths in the park are lined with tall trees providing shade from the harsh sunlight in the dry season.
Adi berdiri gelisah di sudut taman.
Adi stood anxiously at the corner of the park.
Dia pemilik toko buku yang pendiam, baru saja mengalami putus cinta.
He was a quiet bookstore owner who had just gone through a breakup.
Namun, berkat dorongan dari temannya, Budi, Adi memutuskan untuk menghadiri konser malam di taman ini.
However, thanks to encouragement from his friend, Budi, Adi decided to attend an evening concert in this park.
Harapan Budi, mungkin di sini Adi bisa bertemu seseorang yang menyukai sastra sama seperti dirinya.
Budi's hope was that perhaps here Adi could meet someone who liked literature as much as he did.
Orang-orang mulai berkumpul di sekitar panggung.
People began to gather around the stage.
Ada yang duduk di atas selimut penuh warna, menikmati sore sambil bercengkerama.
Some were sitting on colorful blankets, enjoying the afternoon while chatting.
Sementara itu, anak-anak berlarian, tertawa riang, suara mereka berpadu dengan alunan musik yang mulai terdengar.
Meanwhile, children were running around, laughing joyfully, their voices mingling with the music that started to play.
Di sisi lain taman, Siti berdiri dengan penuh semangat.
On the other side of the park, Siti stood with excitement.
Dia adalah penggemar musik yang selalu bersemangat menghadiri konser terbuka untuk menemukan band baru.
She was a music enthusiast always eager to attend open-air concerts to discover new bands.
Ketika band memulai lagu yang tidak dikenal, Siti memperhatikan sosok Adi yang berdiri sendirian.
When the band started an unfamiliar song, Siti noticed Adi standing alone.
Penasaran dengan kesendiriannya, Siti mendekat.
Curious about his solitude, Siti approached him.
"Hai, kamu suka band ini?
"Hi, do you like this band?"
" tanya Siti dengan senyum lebar.
Siti asked with a wide smile.
Adi terkejut, tetapi dia mengangguk pelan.
Adi was surprised, but he nodded slowly.
"Lirik mereka bagus," katanya singkat, berharap tidak mengakhiri percakapan di situ.
"Their lyrics are good," he said briefly, hoping not to end the conversation there.
Percakapan mereka mengalir dengan mudah.
Their conversation flowed easily.
Mereka berbicara tentang lagu, band, dan segera beralih ke buku favorit mereka.
They talked about songs, bands, and soon moved on to their favorite books.
Siti ternyata penggemar sastra, dan dengan cepat mereka menemukan minat yang sama.
It turned out that Siti was a literature fan, and they quickly found common interests.
Saat konser berakhir, Adi merasa lebih percaya diri.
As the concert ended, Adi felt more confident.
"Bolehkah kita bertemu lagi?
"Can we meet again?
Mungkin di acara baca buku," kata Adi, memberanikan diri.
Maybe at a book reading event," Adi asked, braving himself.
Siti tersenyum, memberikan nomor teleponnya.
Siti smiled, giving her phone number.
"Tentu, aku akan senang," jawabnya.
"Sure, I'd love that," she replied.
Di perjalanan pulang, Adi merasa lega dan bersemangat.
On the way home, Adi felt relieved and excited.
Dia baru saja melangkah keluar dari zona nyamannya.
He had just stepped out of his comfort zone.
Dengan pertolongan Budi dan keberanian diri, dia menemukan seseorang yang berbagi kesukaannya.
With Budi's help and his own courage, he found someone who shared his interests.
Hubungan baru dengan Siti menjadi awal bagi Adi untuk lebih terbuka dan menikmati kesempatan baru bersosialisasi.
The new relationship with Siti marked the beginning for Adi to be more open and enjoy new opportunities to socialize.
