Hujan deras membasahi permukiman modern di pinggiran kota Bandung.

Heavy rain drenched the modern settlement on the outskirts of Bandung city.

Awan gelap menggantung rendah, seakan-akan siap menuangkan lebih banyak air ke bumi.

Dark clouds hung low, as if ready to pour more water onto the earth.

Rumah-rumah tradisional berdampingan dengan apartemen modern di daerah ini, menciptakan pemandangan unik di tengah subur hijau yang senantiasa segar pada musim hujan.

Traditional houses stood alongside modern apartments in this area, creating a unique scenery amidst the lush green that always remains fresh during the rainy season.

Rizki berdiri di halaman rumahnya yang digenangi air.

Rizki stood in his waterlogged yard.

Ia menghela napas panjang sambil memandang ke arah genteng yang bocor, seraya merenungkan pilihan-pilihan yang ada.

He took a deep breath while looking at the leaking roof, pondering the options available.

Dengan penghasilan yang pas-pasan, tak ada banyak uang tersisa untuk perbaikan besar.

With a modest income, there wasn’t much money left for major repairs.

Namun, ia tahu bahwa sesuatu harus dilakukan.

However, he knew something had to be done.

Sari keluar dari rumah, berusaha tetap tersenyum meski di dalam hatinya ia cemas.

Sari came out of the house, trying to keep a smile despite her inner worries.

Bukan hanya soal genteng yang bocor, tetapi juga keselamatan putri kecil mereka, Aisyah.

It wasn’t just about the leaking roof, but also the safety of their little daughter, Aisyah.

"Kita akan baik-baik saja, Ki," katanya lembut pada suaminya, meski ia sendiri bertanya-tanya seberapa lama mereka bisa bertahan.

"We’ll be okay, Ki," she said softly to her husband, even though she wondered how long they could hold on.

Rizki mencoba memperbaiki genteng dengan alat seadanya.

Rizki attempted to fix the roof with makeshift tools.

Ketika hujan turun lebih deras, ia semakin gelisah.

As the rain fell harder, he grew more anxious.

Sementara itu, Sari memiliki ide lain.

Meanwhile, Sari had another idea.

Ia memutuskan untuk mengajak tetangga berkumpul, berbagi kekhawatiran sekaligus mencari solusi.

She decided to gather the neighbors, share concerns, and seek solutions.

Sari yakin, bersama komunitas, mereka bisa menghadapi masalah ini.

Sari believed that with the community, they could face this challenge.

Ketika sore menjelang, hujan malah bertambah lebat.

As evening approached, the rain only got heavier.

Gemuruh air jatuh dari langit membuat Sari dan Rizki semakin resah.

The roar of water falling from the sky made Sari and Rizki more uneasy.

Air mulai masuk ke rumah, menyeret lumpur bersamanya.

Water began to enter the house, dragging mud along with it.

Di luar, para tetangga berkumpul dengan payung dan jas hujan, siaga membantu.

Outside, the neighbors gathered with umbrellas and raincoats, ready to help.

"Cepat!" teriak salah satu tetangga, Pak Andi, yang membawa sekop.

"Quick!" shouted one of the neighbors, Pak Andi, who brought a shovel.

"Kita harus membuat saluran sementara untuk airnya," tambahnya.

"We need to make a temporary channel for the water," he added.

Dengan cepat, para tetangga bekerja sama, menggali dan membentuk aliran agar air hujan tak memenuhi rumah Rizki dan Sari.

Quickly, the neighbors worked together, digging and forming a channel to prevent rainwater from flooding Rizki and Sari’s house.

Dalam kekacauan itu, Rizki belajar satu hal berharga.

Amid the chaos, Rizki learned a valuable lesson.

Ia mulai melihat kekuatan dalam kesatuan dan dukungan dari komunitasnya.

He began to see the strength in unity and support from his community.

Air yang mengancam kehidupannya kini menjadi simbol kuatnya solidaritas antar warga.

The water that threatened his life now became a symbol of community solidarity.

Sari juga merasa lega dan lebih percaya diri setelah melihat bagaimana orang-orang bisa bersatu menghadapi krisis.

Sari also felt relieved and more confident after witnessing how people could unite in the face of crisis.

Seiring malam tiba, hujan mulai mereda.

As night fell, the rain began to ease.

Rumah Rizki dan Sari tak lagi kebanjiran seperti tadi.

Rizki and Sari’s house was no longer as flooded as before.

Meski masalah ini belum sepenuhnya selesai, kerjasama dengan tetangga memberikan harapan baru.

Although the problem was not entirely resolved, cooperation with the neighbors gave them new hope.

Saat mereka duduk di ruang tamu yang agak berantakan, Rizki menatap Sari dengan senyum tipis.

As they sat in the somewhat messy living room, Rizki looked at Sari with a faint smile.

"Kita memang perlu tetangga," ucap Rizki.

"We really do need neighbors," said Rizki.

"Dan kita kuat karena mereka," tambah Sari, dengan penuh keyakinan.

"And we are strong because of them," added Sari, with full conviction.

Di balik tantangan ini, dankat kepada komunitas tak hanya memberikan solusi sementara, tetapi juga mengajarkan kebersamaan di tengah kesulitan.

Behind this challenge, gratitude to the community not only offered a temporary solution but also taught the value of togetherness amidst difficulties.

Dan musim hujan ini, bagi Rizki dan Sari, menjadi cerita tentang ketahanan dan harapan di antara tetangga.

And this rainy season, for Rizki and Sari, became a story of resilience and hope among neighbors.
