Santorini terasa seperti sebuah mimpi bagi Rani.

Santorini felt like a dream to Rani.

Pulau dengan bangunan putih dan biru yang kontras dengan laut Aegea yang berkilau.

The island with its white and blue buildings contrasted with the shimmering Aegean Sea.

Namun, mimpi ini juga membuat Rani merasa cemas.

However, this dream also made Rani feel anxious.

Sebagai gadis berusia 15 tahun yang baru pindah dari Indonesia, Rani harus menghadapi kenyataan baru: sekolah internasional di puncak bukit.

As a 15-year-old girl who had just moved from Indonesia, Rani had to face a new reality: an international school on a hilltop.

Putri, kakaknya yang setahun lebih tua, selalu mendukung.

Putri, her sister who was a year older, was always supportive.

Namun, rasa gugup menggelitik hati Rani setiap kali berangkat ke sekolah.

However, nervousness tickled Rani's heart every time she set off for school.

"Kamu harus percaya diri, Nduk," saran Putri dengan senyuman lembut.

"You have to be confident, Nduk," advised Putri with a gentle smile.

Tapi rasa tak nyaman mengintip setiap hari.

But the discomfort peeked through every day.

Di sekolah, Rani bertemu Adi.

At school, Rani met Adi.

Dia sudah tinggal di Santorini lebih dari setahun.

He had been living in Santorini for more than a year.

"Aku tahu rasanya pindah ke tempat yang baru," kata Adi suatu siang.

"I know how it feels to move to a new place," said Adi one afternoon.

"Ayo, kita bisa melewatinya bersama.

"Come on, we can get through it together."

"Bahasa asing terdengar seperti nyanyian aneh.

The foreign language sounded like a strange song.

Rani berjuang untuk mengerti.

Rani struggled to understand.

Tapi, hatinya tetap ingin berteman.

But her heart still wanted to make friends.

Dia menemukan brosur klub seni di papan pengumuman sekolah.

She found a brochure for the art club on the school bulletin board.

Kegemarannya pada seni mungkin bisa membawanya menemukan sahabat.

Her love for art might lead her to find friends.

Ketika musim semi tiba, sekolah mengadakan festival internasional.

When spring arrived, the school held an international festival.

Setiap siswa diminta menampilkan budaya asalnya.

Every student was asked to present their native culture.

Ini kesempatan bagi Rani.

This was an opportunity for Rani.

Namun, rasa takut menggenggam hatinya.

However, fear gripped her heart.

"Aku bisa menunjukkan batik," gumamnya pelan, mencoba meyakinkan dirinya sendiri.

"I could show batik," she murmured softly, trying to convince herself.

Pertempuran dalam diri Rani berujung pada keberanian.

The battle within Rani ended in courage.

Dengan segala persiapan, dia membawa kain, lilin, dan canting.

With all the preparations, she brought cloth, wax, and a canting.

Saat hari festival tiba, jantungnya berdegup seperti drum.

When the festival day arrived, her heart beat like a drum.

"Semoga berhasil, Dek," ujar Putri memberi semangat.

"Good luck, Dek," said Putri encouragingly.

Rani melangkahkan kaki ke panggung.

Rani stepped onto the stage.

Semua mata tertuju padanya.

All eyes were on her.

Dengan tangan gemetar, dia mulai menjelaskan batik, menunjukkan setiap langkah.

With trembling hands, she began explaining batik, demonstrating each step.

Tetapi saat canting tersebut menyentuh kain, Rani merasakan ketenangan.

But when the canting touched the cloth, Rani felt calm.

Ini adalah bagian dari dirinya, budaya yang ingin dia bagi.

This was a part of her, a culture she wanted to share.

Ketika selesai, tepuk tangan meriah memenuhi ruangan.

When she finished, applause filled the room.

Beberapa siswa datang mendekat.

Several students approached.

"Bisa ajarkan kami!

"Can you teach us!"

" kata mereka bersemangat.

they said excitedly.

Kebahagiaan meluap di hati Rani.

Happiness overflowed in Rani's heart.

Dengan langkah ringan, Rani pulang bersama Putri.

With light steps, Rani went home with Putri.

Dia menyadari, berbagi budaya adalah jembatan untuk menjalin persahabatan.

She realized that sharing culture is a bridge to making friendships.

Santorini tidak lagi terasa asing.

Santorini no longer felt unfamiliar.

Rani kini bangga dan percaya diri dengan apa yang dia bawa dari Indonesia.

Rani was now proud and confident in what she brought from Indonesia.

Ini adalah rumah barunya, dengan warna dan teman baru.

This was her new home, with new colors and friends.
