Di tengah riuhnya asrama kampus, suara burung berkicau bercampur dengan percakapan mahasiswa yang sibuk.

Amidst the bustling noise of the campus dormitory, the sound of birds chirping mingled with the chatter of busy students.

Semester baru telah dimulai.

A new semester had begun.

Mahasiswa bergegas ke sana kemari, mempersiapkan segalanya.

Students hurried around, preparing everything.

Di antara mereka, ada Arif, mahasiswa rajin yang selalu mengutamakan studi meskipun harus berbagi waktu dengan pekerjaan paruh waktunya.

Among them was Arif, a diligent student who always prioritized his studies despite having to juggle his time with his part-time job.

Hari ini, matahari bersinar cerah.

Today, the sun was shining brightly.

Tidak ada hujan, tanda musim kemarau yang sudah memasuki puncaknya.

There was no rain, a sign that the dry season had reached its peak.

Arif berjalan cepat menuju kamar Putri.

Arif walked briskly towards Putri's room.

"Putri, ayo kita ke toko buku sekarang.

"Putri, let's go to the bookstore now.

Diskonnya sebentar lagi habis," kata Arif dengan nada cemas.

The discount is ending soon," said Arif anxiously.

Putri, teman yang santai dan selalu siap membantu, langsung bangkit dari tempat duduk.

Putri, a laid-back friend who was always ready to help, immediately got up from her seat.

"Tunggu sebentar, Arif!

"Wait a moment, Arif!

Aku siap kok," jawab Putri sambil menyambar tasnya.

I’m ready," replied Putri while grabbing her bag.

Mereka pun bergegas keluar dari asrama, menembus keramaian kampus.

They hurriedly left the dormitory, making their way through the bustling campus.

Perjalanan ke toko buku tak terlalu jauh, tetapi mereka harus melewati lorong-lorong kampus yang dipenuhi mahasiswa.

The journey to the bookstore wasn't very far, but they had to pass through campus hallways filled with students.

Arif sangat khawatir.

Arif was very worried.

Mata kuliah baru membutuhkan buku baru, dan dana yang dimilikinya terbatas.

New courses required new books, and his funds were limited.

Ditambah lagi, pekerjaan paruh waktunya menyita banyak waktu sehingga ia tidak bisa langsung ke toko buku setelah kuliah.

In addition, his part-time job took up a lot of time, so he couldn't head straight to the bookstore after class.

Setibanya di toko buku, Arif dan Putri melihat banyak mahasiswa lain yang juga mencari buku.

Upon arriving at the bookstore, Arif and Putri saw many other students also searching for books.

Dengan cepat, Arif mulai mencari buku yang ia butuhkan.

Quickly, Arif began looking for the books he needed.

Tapi sayang, stok mulai menipis.

Unfortunately, the stock was starting to run low.

Putri melihat kegelisahan di wajah Arif.

Putri noticed the anxiety on Arif's face.

"Tenang, Arif.

"Calm down, Arif.

Kita akan temukan solusinya," kata Putri menenangkan.

We will find a solution," said Putri reassuringly.

Beberapa menit kemudian, seorang mahasiswa lain membeli buku terakhir yang Arif cari.

A few minutes later, another student bought the last book that Arif was looking for.

Arif tampak kecewa.

Arif looked disappointed.

"Bagaimana ini, Putri?

"What should I do, Putri?

Aku benar-benar butuh buku itu," kata Arif dengan nada pasrah.

I really need that book," said Arif with a resigned tone.

Namun, Putri tersenyum.

However, Putri smiled.

"Jangan khawatir.

"Don't worry.

Aku punya beberapa buku yang sama dan juga catatan lengkap tentang mata kuliah itu.

I have several of the same books and also complete notes for that course.

Kita bisa berbagi.

We can share.

Aku juga akan membantu kamu belajar," Putri menawarkan dengan tulus.

I will also help you study," Putri offered sincerely.

Arif merasa lega.

Arif felt relieved.

Ternyata, dia tidak perlu menanggung beban sendirian.

It turned out he didn't have to bear the burden alone.

Dia sadar bahwa memiliki teman seperti Putri sangat berharga.

He realized that having a friend like Putri was very valuable.

"Terima kasih, Putri.

"Thank you, Putri.

Aku berhutang budi padamu," kata Arif sambil tersenyum.

I owe you," said Arif with a smile.

Mereka pun kembali ke asrama dengan hati lebih ringan.

They returned to the dormitory with lighter hearts.

Arif kini mengerti bahwa meminta bantuan bukanlah tanda kelemahan.

Arif now understood that asking for help was not a sign of weakness.

Dukungan teman-teman bisa menjadi sumber kekuatan yang berharga.

The support of friends could be a valuable source of strength.

Asrama kampus tetap ramai, tapi di dalam hatinya, Arif merasa damai.

The campus dormitory remained busy, but inside his heart, Arif felt at peace.

Hari yang penuh kekhawatiran itu berakhir dengan sebuah pelajaran berharga tentang persahabatan dan saling membantu.

A day filled with worry ended with a valuable lesson about friendship and helping each other.
