more:fluentfiction.com/id/episode/2025-11-08-08-38-20-id Story Transcript:Id: Langit Jakarta meredup, seakan-akan ikut tenggelam dalam keruntuhan kota.En: The sky over Jakarta dimmed, as if it were sinking into the city's collapse.Id: Gemuruh reruntuhan terdengar dari kejauhan, seolah-olah mengingatkan bahwa tidak ada bagian kota ini yang aman.En: The rumble of debris could be heard from afar, serving as a reminder that no part of the city was safe.Id: Di bawah tanah, dalam lorong-lorong gelap sistem MRT yang tergenang air, tiga sosok bergerak dengan hati-hati: Adi, Sari, dan Budi.En: Underground, in the dark tunnels of the flooded MRT system, three figures moved cautiously: Adi, Sari, and Budi.Id: “Cepat, kita harus mencapai tempat aman sebelum malam tiba,” desis Adi, berusaha menunjukkan semangat meski tubuhnya mulai lelah.En: "Hurry, we must reach a safe place before night falls," Adi whispered, trying to show enthusiasm despite his body growing tired.Id: Tangannya menggenggam obor kecil, satu-satunya sumber cahaya mereka.En: His hand clutched a small torch, their only source of light.Id: Air dingin mencapai lutut, membuat setiap langkah terasa berat.En: The cold water reached their knees, making every step feel heavy.Id: Sari, dengan rambut panjangnya yang kusut, mengikuti dekat di belakang Adi.En: Sari, with her tangled long hair, followed closely behind Adi.Id: Matanya terus memeriksa dinding lorong, khawatir akan bahaya yang mengintai.En: Her eyes continuously scanned the tunnel walls, wary of lurking dangers.Id: Budi, yang paling kecil di antara mereka, memegang erat tas yang nyaris kosong.En: Budi, the smallest of them, held on tightly to a nearly empty bag.Id: Persediaan mereka semakin menipis.En: Their supplies were dwindling.Id: Lorong-lorong MRT ini dulunya sibuk dan penuh kehidupan.En: These MRT tunnels used to be bustling and full of life.Id: Namun kini, hanya ada sisa-sisa dari masa lalu.En: But now, only remnants of the past remained.Id: Garis kereta yang terlipat dan kabel-kabel menjuntai membuat jalur ini bagai labirin penuh jebakan.En: Folded train tracks and hanging cables turned this path into a labyrinth full of traps.Id: Pilihan ada di depan mereka: ambil jalur langsung yang berbahaya atau jalur memutar yang lebih aman tapi lebih lama.En: A choice awaited them: take the direct but dangerous route or the longer but safer detour.Id: Adi memikirkan janji yang dia buat—untuk menjaga Sari dan Budi tetap hidup hingga menemukan tempat yang aman.En: Adi thought of the promise he made—to keep Sari and Budi alive until they found a safe place.Id: Dia harus memutuskan.En: He had to decide.Id: "Ikut aku," kata Adi akhirnya.En: "Follow me," Adi said finally.Id: Dia memimpin mereka ke lorong yang nampak paling aman, meski tahu harus berhadapan dengan waktu dan nasib yang tidak pasti.En: He led them to the path that appeared safest, even though he knew they would face uncertain time and fate.Id: Mereka berbelok dan berjalan lebih dalam hingga bertemu genangan air lebih dalam, memperlambat langkah mereka.En: They turned and walked deeper until they encountered deeper waters, slowing their steps.Id: Saat mereka terus maju, tiba-tiba terdengar suara.En: As they continued, a sound suddenly emerged.Id: Sekumpulan penjaneat menghadang jalan mereka.En: A group of marauders blocked their path.Id: Orang-orang ini telah berubah menjadi kejam di tengah kekacauan pasca-apokaliptik.En: These people had turned ruthless amidst the post-apocalyptic chaos.Id: Adi menarik Sari dan Budi mundur ke bayangan.En: Adi pulled Sari and Budi back into the shadows.Id: "Kita harus cari jalan lain," bisik Adi.En: "We have to find another way," Adi whispered.Id: Dengan kesadaran bahwa mereka kehabisan waktu dan tenaga, Adi berkeliling, mencari celah, dan menemukan sebuah terowongan kecil yang nyaris tak terlihat.En: With the realization that they were running out of time and energy, Adi circled around, searching for an opening, and found a small tunnel that was barely visible.Id: Mereka merangkak masuk, berharap ini adalah jalan keluar dari kebuntuan.En: They crawled inside, hoping it would be a way out of the stalemate.Id: Setelah melalui jalan sempit dan berlumpur, cahaya samar terlihat dari ujung terowongan.En: After navigating the narrow, muddy path, a faint light appeared at the tunnel's end.Id: Dengan napas tertahan, mereka keluar di sisi lain, menemukan diri mereka di depan gerbang logam yang menjulang.En: With bated breath, they emerged on the other side, finding themselves in front of a tall metal gate.Id: Tempat itu ditandai dengan tanda-tanda kehidupan—sebuah tempat perlindungan.En: The place was marked by signs of life—a shelter.Id: Namun, tanda-tanda menunjukkan: tempat itu akan segera pindah.En: But signs indicated that the place would soon relocate.Id: “Mereka masih di sini,” kata Adi dengan napas tertahan.En: "They're still here," Adi said with a held breath.Id: Kegembiraan terpendam di matanya saat dia melangkah maju.En: Suppressed excitement filled his eyes as he stepped forward.Id: Meski tubuh lelah dan perut lapar, ada energi baru dalam langkah mereka.En: Despite tired bodies and hungry stomachs, there was new energy in their steps.Id: Mereka diterima oleh penjaga, yang menginformasikan bahwa tempat itu akan bergerak ke lokasi baru, lebih jauh dari kekacauan kota.En: They were greeted by a guard, who informed them that the place would move to a new location, farther from the city's chaos.Id: Adi memandang Sari dan Budi, senyum penuh harapan merebak di wajahnya.En: Adi looked at Sari and Budi, a hopeful smile spreading across his face.Id: Dia telah menepati janjinya.En: He had kept his promise.Id: Mereka selamat dan akan mendapat kesempatan untuk hidup lebih baik.En: They survived and would have a chance for a better life.Id: Di tengah hiruk-pikuk persiapan untuk pindah, Adi menyadari satu hal.En: Amidst the hustle and bustle of preparation to move, Adi realized one thing.Id: Harapan tak boleh mati di tengah ketidakpastian.En: Hope must not die amidst uncertainty.Id: Terkadang, janji dan keteguhan dapat membuka jalan yang tak terduga.En: Sometimes, promises and perseverance can open unexpected paths.Id: Mereka melangkah ke hari baru, siap menghadapi apapun yang ada di depan.En: They stepped into a new day, ready to face whatever lay ahead.Id: Dalam remang cahaya, cahaya harapan mulai bersinar.En: In the dim light, a ray of hope began to shine.
