Story Transcript:

Id: Borobudur, sebuah candi megah yang berdiri kokoh di tengah perbukitan hijau.
En: Borobudur, a magnificent temple standing strong amidst green hills.

Id: Matahari sore mulai merendah, menciptakan sinar jingga di cakrawala.
En: The evening sun began to descend, casting an orange hue on the horizon.

Id: Di antara kerumunan, ada Dewi, seorang penggemar fotografi.
En: Among the crowd was Dewi, a photography enthusiast.

Id: Dalam genggamannya, kamera kesayangan yang siap menangkap momen sempurna.
En: In her hands was her beloved camera, ready to capture the perfect moment.

Id: Bersama Dewi, ada Rizal, sahabatnya sejak kecil.
En: Accompanying Dewi was Rizal, her childhood friend.

Id: Rizal, walaupun kadang lambat menangkap situasi, selalu setia menemani.
En: Rizal, although a bit slow on the uptake sometimes, was always a loyal companion.

Id: Di samping mereka berdiri Lestari, pemandu wisata lokal dengan senyum riang.
En: Beside them stood Lestari, a local tour guide with a cheerful smile.

Id: Lestari membawa serta Momo, monyet jinak yang terkenal usil di kalangan pengunjung.
En: Lestari had with her Momo, a tame monkey known for its mischief among the visitors.

Id: Dewi ingin sekali menangkap gambar indah Borobudur saat matahari terbenam.
En: Dewi was eager to capture a beautiful sunset photo of Borobudur.

Id: Ia memiliki target besar: kontes fotografi yang menjanjikan hadiah impian.
En: She had a big goal: a photography contest promising a dream prize.

Id: Tapi di sini, masalah muncul.
En: But here lay the problem.

Id: Momo si monyet, dengan lincahnya, terus melompat masuk ke dalam bingkai foto Dewi.
En: Momo the monkey, with its agility, kept jumping into Dewi's photo frame.

Id: Para wisatawan tertawa melihat polahnya, sementara Dewi menghela napas frustrasi.
En: Tourists laughed at its antics, while Dewi sighed in frustration.

Id: "Momo, ayo kita bermain di sini saja," bujuk Lestari, mencoba memanggil monyet nakal itu.
En: "Momo, let's play over here," coaxed Lestari, trying to call the naughty monkey.

Id: Tapi Momo tampaknya punya rencana sendiri.
En: But Momo seemed to have its own plans.

Id: Rizal menepuk bahu Dewi.
En: Rizal patted Dewi's shoulder.

Id: "Sabar, De. Mungkin coba cari sudut lain?"
En: "Be patient, Dewi. Maybe try another angle?"

Id: Dewi merenung.
En: Dewi pondered.

Id: Matahari terus bergerak.
En: The sun kept moving.

Id: Waktu hampir habis, tetapi ide muncul.
En: Time was running out, but an idea struck her.

Id: "Bagaimana jika kita jadikan Momo bagian dari foto ini?"
En: "What if we make Momo part of the photo?"

Id: Rizal mengangkat alis.
En: Rizal raised an eyebrow.

Id: "Itu ide yang lumayan keren!"
En: "That's a pretty cool idea!"

Id: Menit-menit berlalu.
En: Minutes passed.

Id: Dewi mengarahkan kameranya kembali.
En: Dewi aimed her camera again.

Id: Kali ini, dia mengamati pergerakan Momo dengan cermat.
En: This time, she observed Momo's movements carefully.

Id: Tepat ketika sinar matahari terakhir menyentuh Borobudur, Momo melompat ke sebuah anak tangga, berpose dramatis.
En: Just as the last rays of the sun touched Borobudur, Momo jumped onto a step, striking a dramatic pose.

Id: Cakrawala oranye menjadi latar belakang sempurna.
En: The orange sky became the perfect backdrop.

Id: Klik! Dewi berhasil mengabadikan momen yang tak terduga itu.
En: Click! Dewi managed to capture that unexpected moment.

Id: Foto menakjubkan Momo siluet dengan candi dalam pancaran cahaya senja.
En: A stunning silhouette photo of Momo with the temple bathed in the glow of dusk.

Id: Hari kontes tiba.
En: The contest day arrived.

Id: Di layar, foto Dewi muncul.
En: On the screen, Dewi's photo appeared.

Id: Sambutan yang meriah, orang-orang terpukau.
En: A warm reception, people were amazed.

Id: Hakim memuji ketepatan waktu dan kesan spontan dalam foto tersebut.
En: The judges praised the timing and spontaneity captured in the photo.

Id: Dewi memenangi hadiah utama.
En: Dewi won the grand prize.

Id: Pulangan dari candi, Dewi tersenyum puas.
En: Returning from the temple, Dewi smiled contentedly.

Id: Dia belajar dari pengalaman ini. Kadang, saat kita merangkul keisengan dan kejutan kecil, hasilnya jauh lebih indah dari yang kita rencanakan.
En: She learned from this experience that sometimes, when we embrace mischief and small surprises, the results are far more beautiful than planned.

Id: Rizal menepuk punggung Dewi, "Siapa sangka Momo jadi bintang di fotomu, ya?"
En: Rizal patted Dewi's back, "Who would have thought Momo would be the star of your photo, huh?"

Id: "Semua bisa terjadi," jawab Dewi sambil tertawa.
En: "Anything's possible," Dewi replied with a laugh.

Id: Dan Momo? Dia tetap menjadi monyet yang paling terkenal di Borobudur.
En: And Momo? He remained the most famous monkey at Borobudur.
