En: Adi explained his situation.

Id: Lina berpikir cepat.
En: Lina thought quickly.

Id: "Ayo kita temui seorang petugas. Mungkin mereka bisa membantu."

Id: Bersama-sama, mereka mendatangi konter informasi tempat Sari bekerja.
En: Together, they went to the information counter where Sari worked.

En: "Follow me," Sari said firmly.

Id: Sari segera mengurus dokumen khusus untuk Adi.
