Di tengah gemuruh hujan musim semi, di sebuah desa kecil di Jawa Tengah, Dewi sibuk di laboratorium rahasianya.

In the midst of the rumble of spring rain, in a small village in Jawa Tengah, Dewi was busy in her secret laboratory.

Tempat itu tampak seperti lumbung tua di luar.

The place looked like an old barn from the outside.

Namun, di dalam, ada alat-alat canggih, sirkuit berwarna neon, dan prototipe eksperimen terbarunya.

However, inside, there were advanced tools, neon-colored circuits, and the prototype of her latest experiment.

Aku merasa tempat ini hidup.

I felt like this place was alive.

Setiap sudutnya menyimpan energi dan harapan.

Every corner held energy and hope.

Hari ini spesial.

Today was special.

Keluargaku mengadakan perayaan Maulid Nabi.

My family was holding a celebration for Maulid Nabi.

Kami merayakan dengan hidangan tradisional dan cerita-cerita lama.

We celebrated with traditional dishes and old stories.

Namun, aku punya agenda lain.

However, I had another agenda.

Aku ingin menunjukkan kepada keluarga prototipe energi terbarukan yang kutemukan.

I wanted to show my family the renewable energy prototype I had discovered.

“Budi!

"Budi!"

” Panggilku ketika aku memasuki rumah keluarga, “Bisa bantu siapkan peralatan di lab?

I called as I entered the family home, "Can you help set up the equipment in the lab?"

”Budi, sepupuku, mengangguk penuh semangat.

Budi, my cousin, nodded enthusiastically.

Dia anak yang cerdas dalam teknologi.

He is a smart kid when it comes to technology.

Tujuannya kali ini sederhana, membuat teknologi bukan hanya untuk kota tapi juga bermanfaat bagi desaku.

His current goal was simple: to make technology useful not just for the city but also for our village.

Kami berdua menyelinap ke laboratorium sambil membawa kotak-kotak alat kecil.

The two of us sneaked into the laboratory while carrying small toolboxes.

Di rumah, suasana hangat.

At home, the atmosphere was warm.

Bau makanan lezat memenuhi ruangan.

The smell of delicious food filled the room.

Para tetua duduk mengelilingi meja panjang, menyiapkan diri untuk acara berbagi cerita.

The elders sat around a long table, preparing themselves for a storytelling event.

Di antara mereka ada Rini, adikku, yang duduk di pojok dengan penasaran.

Among them was my sister Rini, sitting in the corner with curiosity.

Aku memberanikan diri untuk berbicara setelah makan malam.

I mustered up the courage to speak after dinner.

“Keluarga, saya punya sesuatu untuk ditunjukkan.

"Family, I have something to show you.

Ini proyek untuk masa depan kita.

This is a project for our future."

”Banyak yang berhenti berbicara.

Many stopped talking.

Sepupu-sepupu dan paman memandangku dengan penasaran, sementara beberapa tante tampak skeptis.

Cousins and uncles looked at me with curiosity, while some aunts seemed skeptical.

Dengan hati-hati, aku menyiapkan prototipe di meja.

Carefully, I set up the prototype on the table.

Aku berharap bisa mengalihkan perhatian mereka dari cerita-cerita lama ke percakapan yang lebih modern.

I hoped to shift their attention from old stories to a more modern conversation.

Saat aku menekan tombol, lampu di prototipe menyala, menerangi seluruh ruang dengan cahaya lembut.

As I pressed the button, the lights on the prototype lit up, illuminating the entire room with a soft glow.

“Wow!

"Wow!"

” Rini berseru kagum.

Rini exclaimed in awe.

Beberapa yang lain bersorak tertahan.

A few others cheered softly.

Namun, tak lama kemudian, prototipe ku mulai berdesir dan bergetar.

However, shortly after, my prototype began to whir and vibrate.

Suara gemerincing mengisi ruangan.

A jingling sound filled the room.

Ada yang mundur ketakutan.

Some stepped back in fear.

Dalam sekejap, lampu padam.

In an instant, the lights went out.

Kekalutan memenuhi ruangan.

Chaos filled the room.

Aku menghela napas dalam-dalam, mencium aroma kebingungan dan ketidakpercayaan.

I took a deep breath, absorbing the scent of confusion and disbelief.

“Tunggu,” kataku tenang, “Ini bisa diperbaiki.

"Wait," I said calmly, "This can be fixed."

”Dengan kesabaran dan bantuan Budi, aku mengatur ulang kabel dan menstabilkan sistem.

With patience and Budi's help, I reconfigured the cables and stabilized the system.

“Lihat,” kataku dengan senyum penuh harap, “Ini bisa memberi energi pada rumah kita, tanpa polusi.

"Look," I said with a hopeful smile, "This can power our home without pollution."

”Ada keheningan sejenak.

There was a moment of silence.

Lalu, kakekku yang paling bijak berkata, “Kalau ini aman dan bermanfaat, kita bisa mendukungmu, Dewi.

Then, my wisest grandfather said, "If this is safe and beneficial, we can support you, Dewi."

”Hatiku melesat dengan kebahagiaan.

My heart soared with happiness.

Aku berhasil.

I had succeeded.

Meski awalnya ada keraguan, mereka siap mendukung asalku bisa memastikan keamanannya.

Despite the initial doubt, they were willing to support as long as I could ensure its safety.

Kemudian, aku menyadari sebuah pelajaran penting.

Then, I realized an important lesson.

Untuk meraih masa depan, kita perlu menjaga tradisi namun tak takut pada kemajuan.

To achieve the future, we need to preserve tradition but not fear progress.

Dengan semangat dan visi yang jelas, aku tahu bisa membuat banyak orang mengerti.

With enthusiasm and a clear vision, I knew I could make many understand.

Dan dengan itu, aku percaya, masa depan kami akan lebih cerah.

And with that, I believe our future will be brighter.
