En: Under the scorching sun that seemed relentless, a makeshift hospital in Jakarta transformed into a sea of nonstop activity. Id: Tenda-tenda darurat berdiri tegak di atas tanah berdebu, sementara para staf medis bergerak cepat di antara pasien yang terbaring di ranjang lipat, menunggu perhatian. En: Emergency tents stood tall on dusty ground, while medical staff moved quickly among patients lying on folding cots, waiting for attention. Id: Di salah satu sudut rumah sakit, tiga sahabat bernama Dewi, Andi, dan Siti sedang berkumpul dengan gelak tawa kecil. En: In one corner of the hospital, three friends named Dewi, Andi, and Siti were gathering with soft laughter. Id: Dewi, yang terkenal dengan sikapnya yang penuh semangat dan trik sulapnya yang sering kali tidak bisa diduga, bersiap-siap melakukan aksi terbaru untuk memenangkan taruhan dari teman-temannya. En: Dewi, renowned for her spirited attitude and unpredictable magic tricks, was preparing to perform her latest act to win a bet from her friends. Id: Kali ini, Dewi bertekad untuk membuat camilan menghilang di depan mata Andi dan Siti. En: This time, Dewi was determined to make a snack disappear right before Andi and Siti's eyes.

Id: Dewi yang panik tiba-tiba merasa dingin di bawah terik matahari. En: A panicked Dewi suddenly felt cold under the scorching sun. Id: "Apa yang harus aku lakukan? En: "What should I do?" Id: " pikir Dewi, hati kecilnya berkecamuk antara mengakui trik sulapnya gagal atau tetap bersandiwara. En: thought Dewi, her heart stirring between admitting her magic trick had failed or continuing with the charade. Id: Siti, dengan mata jeli, memperhatikan bibir saku Dewi yang sedikit mengembung. En: Siti, with sharp eyes, noticed Dewi's shirt pocket slightly bulging. Id: Dengan tersenyum setengah geli, Siti membisikkan, "Dewi, kantongnya di bajumu. En: With a half-amused smile, Siti whispered, "Dewi, the bag is in your shirt." Id: "Pada saat yang sama, seorang dokter mendekat sambil menanyakan situasi. En: At the same time, a doctor approached, asking about the situation. Id: Dewi menelan saliva, merasa gugup. En: Dewi swallowed nervously.
