Id: Matahari bersinar terik di atas Candi Borobudur, memantulkan cahaya ke setiap sudut batu kuno.
En: The sun shone brightly above the Candi Borobudur, reflecting light into every corner of the ancient stones.
Id: Turis-turis ramai, tetapi di antara mereka ada satu pasangan yang berbeda.
En: The tourists were bustling, but among them, there was one couple that stood out.
Id: Rina dan Arman berdiri di pintu masuk candi, siap untuk memulai petualangan mereka.
En: Rina and Arman stood at the entrance of the temple, ready to begin their adventure.
Id: "Ayo, kita mulai dari bawah," kata Rina penuh semangat, menunjuk ke arah tangga batu yang mengarah ke tingkatan pertama candi.
En: "Come on, let's start from the bottom," said Rina enthusiastically, pointing towards the stone steps leading to the temple's first tier.
Id: Arman menganguk, meski sedikit enggan.
En: Arman nodded, though somewhat hesitantly.
Id: Bagi Rina, candi ini lebih dari sekadar tumpukan batu.
En: For Rina, the temple was more than just a pile of stones.
Id: Ini adalah tempat sejarah dan spiritual, yang sudah lama ingin ia kunjungi.
En: It was a place of history and spirituality, one she had longed to visit.
Id: Arman menarik topinya untuk menghalangi sinar matahari.
En: Arman adjusted his hat to block the sun's rays.
Id: "Aku harap kita tidak menghabiskan waktu terlalu lama di sini," katanya sambil mengelap keringat di dahinya.
En: "I hope we don't spend too much time here," he said while wiping sweat from his forehead.
Id: Dia lebih menyukai kenyamanan kota yang modern.
En: He preferred the comfort of a modern city.
Id: Rina, dengan semangat yang menggebu, mulai menjelaskan sejarah candi ini kepada Arman saat mereka menapaki setiap tingkatan.
En: Rina, with exuberant enthusiasm, began explaining the temple's history to Arman as they ascended each tier.
Id: "Tahukah kamu, Borobudur ini adalah candi Buddha terbesar di dunia?
En: "Did you know, this Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world?
Id: Candi ini dibangun pada masa pemerintahan Dinasti Syailendra," katanya sambil menunjuk ke relief yang terukir di dinding.
En: It was built during the rule of the Syailendra Dynasty," she said while pointing to the carved reliefs on the walls.
Id: Arman mendengarkan, walau pikirannya melayang ke sore santai di hotel mereka nanti.
En: Arman listened, though his mind drifted to a leisurely afternoon at their hotel later.
Id: "Iya, iya," jawabnya sambil sesekali memotret pemandangan di sekitar mereka.
En: "Yes, yes," he replied while occasionally snapping photos of the scenery around them.
Id: Ketika mereka mencapai puncak candi, Rina berhenti sejenak.
En: When they reached the top of the temple, Rina paused for a moment.
Id: "Aku punya ide.
