Id: Hari itu, Siti sedang duduk sendirian di pojok warung, matanya tenggelam dalam lembaran buku.
En: That day, Siti was sitting alone in a corner of the stall, her eyes immersed in the pages of a book.

Id: "Kamu baik-baik saja?
En: "Are you okay?"

Id: " tanya Siti sambil memberikan tisu ke Budi.
En: Siti asked, offering the tissues to Budi.

Id: Budi, yang masih merasa tidak percaya dengan apa yang terjadi, hanya bisa mengangguk.
En: Budi, still in disbelief about what had happened, could only nod.

Id: "Maafkan aku, tidak sengaja," kata Budi lirih.
En: "I'm sorry, it was an accident," Budi said softly.

Id: Siti tersenyum lembut.
En: Siti smiled gently.

Id: "Tidak apa-apa, kecelakaan itu bisa terjadi pada siapapun," jawabnya dengan suara yang menenangkan.
En: "It's okay, accidents can happen to anyone," she replied in a calming voice.
