En: With a few new devices in hand and a still-safe budget, they walked out of the Startup Incubator more optimistic and ready to face the next challenge. Id: Sementara, Tim Rival mungkin mendapatkan lebih banyak perangkat, tetapi hanya waktu yang akan menentukan apakah keputusan mereka bijaksana atau malah menjadi boomerang finansial.

En: Under the clear and blue sky of the dry season, Sari and Budi walked the rocky path toward the summit of Mount Bromo. Id: Udara dingin menusuk kulit, tapi pemandangan tak terlupakan. En: The cold air pierced their skin, but the unforgettable view made the journey worth it. Id: Lembah-lembah hijau, kawah-kawah vulkanik, dan pusaran kabut yang menari di sekitar mereka, membuat perjalanan ini tak terasa berat. En: Green valleys, volcanic craters, and swirling mists dancing around them made the journey feel less arduous. Id: Sari adalah wanita yang penuh semangat dan pemberani, tapi tak banyak yang tahu bahwa ia menyimpan ketakutan. En: Sari was an enthusiastic and brave woman, but few knew that she harbored fears. Id: Ketakutan tidak cukup kuat untuk mencapai puncak. En: Fears that she might not be strong enough to reach the summit. Id: Budi, sahabat setianya, selalu ada di sampingnya. En: Budi, her loyal friend, was always by her side. Id: Ia tahu betapa pentingnya perjalanan ini bagi Sari. En: He knew how important this journey was for Sari. Id: "Mari, Sari. Kita sudah setengah jalan," kata Budi sambil tersenyum mendukung. En: "Come on, Sari. We're halfway there," Budi said, smiling supportively. Id: Namun, semakin mereka naik, makin terasa sulit bagi Sari. En: However, as they climbed higher, it became increasingly difficult for Sari. Id: Kepalanya mulai pusing, nafasnya tersengal-sengal. En: Her head began to ache, her breath became labored. Id: Sakit di dadanya semakin parah. En: The pain in her chest worsened. Id: Gejala-gejala penyakit ketinggian mulai muncul. En: Symptoms of altitude sickness began to appear. Id: Setiap langkah jadi perjuangan. En: Each step became a struggle. Id: "Budi, aku tidak yakin bisa melanjutkan," ucap Sari pelan, tangannya gemetar memegang batu. En: "Budi, I'm not sure I can continue," Sari whispered, her hand trembling as she held onto a rock. Id: Budi melihat kondisi Sari dengan mata khawatir. En: Budi looked at Sari with worried eyes. Id: "Jangan paksa diri, Sari. Kesehatanmu lebih penting." En: "Don't push yourself, Sari. Your health is more important." Id: "Tapi Budi, aku ingin sampai puncak!" jawab Sari keras kepala. En: "But Budi, I want to reach the summit!" Sari replied stubbornly. Id: Walau tubuhnya lemah, tekadnya kuat. En: Although her body was weak, her determination was strong. Id: Mereka berhenti sejenak di sebuah titik yang agak datar. En: They paused for a moment at a relatively flat spot. Id: Sari menarik napas panjang, mencoba mengatur napasnya. En: Sari took a deep breath, trying to regulate her breathing. Id: Tapi tubuhnya tidak bersahabat. En: But her body was uncooperative. Id: Kakinya goyah dan akhirnya ia terjatuh. En: Her legs wobbled, and she eventually collapsed. Id: "Sari!" Budi segera berlutut di sampingnya. Wajahnya pucat. En: "Sari!" Budi immediately knelt beside her, his face pale. Id: Dalam hati, Budi bimbang. En: In his heart, Budi was torn. Id: Apakah harus terus mencoba naik dengan risiko lebih besar, atau turun dan selamatkan Sari? En: Should they risk going higher or descend and ensure Sari's safety? Id: Akhirnya, ia memutuskan. En: Finally, he decided. Id: "Kita turun sekarang," katanya tegas. En: "We're going down now," he said firmly. Id: "Kamu lebih penting dari puncak." En: "You are more important than the summit." Id: Setelah sedikit pemulihan, dengan susah payah, mereka mulai turun. En: After a little recovery, with great effort, they began to descend. Id: Perlahan, hati-hati, Budi merangkul Sari sepanjang perjalanan. En: Slowly, carefully, Budi supported Sari throughout the journey. Id: Setiap langkah terasa jauh lebih berat, tapi juga lebih meyakinkan. En: Each step felt much heavier but also more purposeful. Id: Akhirnya, mereka sampai di pos bantuan pertama. En: Eventually, they reached the first aid post. Id: Sari berbaring, mencoba memulihkan diri. En: Sari lay down, trying to recover. Id: Di sampingnya, Budi duduk menjaga. En: Beside her, Budi sat vigilantly. Id: "Sari, kamu sudah sangat kuat. Jangan merasa gagal," ucap Budi lembut, meyakinkan. En: "Sari, you've been very strong. Don't feel like a failure," Budi said softly, reassuring her. Id: Sari menatap Budi, dalam hatinya ada rasa baru. Rasa pentingnya mendengarkan tubuh sendiri, dan betapa berharganya dukungan teman. En: Sari looked at Budi, feeling a newfound sense of importance in listening to her body and the value of a friend's support. Id: "Terima kasih, Budi. Kamu benar. Aku harus lebih mendengar tubuhku," katanya dengan senyum lemah tapi tulus. En: "Thank you, Budi. You're right. I need to listen to my body more," she said with a weak but sincere smile. Id: Perjalanan pulang mereka adalah perjalanan mengenal diri. En: Their journey back was a journey of self-discovery. Id: Walau mereka tidak mencapai puncak Gunung Bromo, mereka telah mencapai puncak lain—pengertian dan persahabatan sejati. En: Although they did not reach the summit of Mount Bromo, they reached another peak—understanding and true friendship. Id: Dan di bawah langit cerah itu, di tengah pemandangan yang menakjubkan, Sari tidak merasa kalah. En: And under that clear sky, amidst the stunning scenery, Sari did not feel defeated. Id: Ia merasa kuat, lebih dari sebelumnya. En: She felt stronger than ever.
