En: In the living room, Rina was checking the list of items to bring for the trip to Borobudur. Id: Di sebelahnya, Ayu tampak tidak terlalu bersemangat, sesekali menghela napas panjang. En: Next to her, Ayu didn't seem too enthusiastic, occasionally letting out a long sigh. Id: "Damar, sudah siap belum baju kamu? En: "Damar, have you prepared your clothes yet? Id: Kita berangkat pagi-pagi esok," tanya Rina sambil tetap fokus pada daftarnya. En: We're leaving early tomorrow morning," asked Rina while still focusing on her list. Id: "Sudah, Kak," jawab Damar singkat, asyik memainkan ponsel di tangannya. En: "Yes, Sis," Damar replied briefly, engrossed in playing with the phone in his hand. Id: Dia selalu menghindari keributan, lebih memilih damai meskipun kadang terlihat kurang peduli. En: He always avoided noise, preferring peace, though sometimes he seemed indifferent.

En: When else can we spend time together?" Id: "Mata Ayu berkaca-kaca, suaranya mulai bergetar, "Kalian tidak pernah mengerti aku. En: Ayu's eyes watered, her voice started to tremble, "You guys never understand me. Id: Aku selalu dipaksa mengikuti apa yang kalian mau. En: I'm always forced to go along with what you want." Id: "Percakapan mereka semakin tegang. En: Their conversation grew more tense. Id: "Bukan begitu, Ayu. En: "It's not like that, Ayu. Id: Kami peduli padamu. En: We care about you. Id: Aku cuma ingin kita lebih dekat, biar nggak saling menjauh," kata Rina lembut, berusaha menahan emosinya. En: I just want us to be closer, so we don't drift apart," said Rina gently, trying to control her emotions. Id: Setelah beberapa menit hening, Ayu angkat bicara, "Aku kadang merasa tidak diacuhkan, Kak. En: After a few minutes of silence, Ayu spoke up, "Sometimes I feel neglected, Sis. Id: Selalu jadi yang terakhir tahu apa pun. En: Always the last to know anything." Id: "Kalimat itu mengejutkan Rina. En: That statement surprised Rina.

En: She likes photography, it might make it more fun for her." Id: "Ayu tersenyum kecil, ide Damar membuatnya merasa sedikit lebih baik.

Id: Kita bisa ambil banyak foto bagus di Borobudur," sahut Rina dengan senang. En: We can take lots of great photos in Borobudur," replied Rina happily.
