Story Transcript:
Id: Pagi itu cerah sekali.
En: That morning was very bright.
Id: Matahari menyinari setiap sudut pasar tradisional yang sibuk dengan penjual dan pembeli yang hilir mudik mencari kebutuhan mereka.
En: The sun was shining on every corner of the bustling traditional market with sellers and buyers coming and going to find their needs.
Id: Budi, seorang pria paruh baya dengan baju kemeja kotak-kotak, tengah asyik memilih-milih sayuran segar untuk masak malam nanti.
En: Budi, a middle-aged man in a checkered shirt, was busy selecting fresh vegetables to cook for dinner tonight.
Id: Sambil memilih-milih sayur, Budi teringat akan istrinya yang biasa menemaninya berbelanja namun hari itu sedang sakit flu dan terpaksa beristirahat di rumah.
En: While choosing the vegetables, Budi remembered his wife who usually accompanied him to shop but was sick with the flu that day and had to rest at home.
Id: Dia ingin sekali membelikan Anita, sang istri, sayur favoritnya untuk membuat sup ayam yang hangat.
En: He really wanted to buy Anita, his wife, her favorite vegetables to make warm chicken soup.
Id: Di sisi lain pasar, Anita, seorang wanita muda yang kebetulan memakai baju warna serupa dengan yang dipakai istri Budi, sedang merundingkan harga tomat dengan salah satu pedagang.
En: On the other side of the market, Anita, a young woman who happened to be wearing a similar colored dress to Budi's wife, was negotiating the price of tomatoes with one of the traders.
Id: Dengan rambut yang dikepang dan keranjang belanja di lengan, Anita terlihat seperti sosok yang peduli dengan detail.
En: With her hair braided and a shopping basket on her arm, Anita looked like someone who cared about details.
Id: Santoso, seorang penjual buah yang ramah, selalu mengamati apa yang terjadi di pasar.
En: Santoso, a friendly fruit seller, always observed what was happening in the market.
Id: Dari kejauhan, ia melihat Budi beranjak dari lapak sayuran dan berjalan menghampiri sosok yang dipikirnya adalah istrinya.
En: From a distance, he saw Budi leaving the vegetable stall and walking towards a figure he thought was his wife.
Id: "Anita, lihat ini!
En: "Anita, look at this!
Id: Bayamnya segar sekali, pasti enak untuk sup nanti," seru Budi sambil menepuk bahu Anita yang sebenarnya bukan istrinya itu dari belakang.
En: The spinach is so fresh, it will be delicious for the soup later," exclaimed Budi as he patted the shoulder of Anita, who was not his wife, from behind.
Id: Anita yang kaget berbalik dan melihat pria asing yang tampak begitu yakin mengenalnya.
En: Anita, startled, turned around and saw a stranger who seemed so sure to recognize her.
Id: Wajah Budi memerah, dia baru sadar bahwa wanita di depannya bukanlah Anita, istrinya.
En: Budi's face turned red, realizing that the woman in front of him was not Anita, his wife.
Id: "Oh, maaf sekali, Saya kira Anda istr.
En: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you were my wif...uh, no," Budi stammered, trying to maintain a calm expression.
Id: eh, bukan," Budi menggagap mencoba memasang wajah tenang.
En: Anita chuckled at Budi's embarrassed explanation.
Id: Anita terkekeh mendengar penjelasan Budi yang tersipu-sipu.
En: "It's okay, Sir.
Id: "Tidak apa-apa, Pak.
En: It's really busy this morning, people can make mistakes with faces," said Anita still smiling.
Id: Memang pagi ini ramai sekali, orang bisa saja salah mengenali," tutur Anita masih dengan senyum.
En: Santoso, who witnessed the incident, couldn't help but laugh.
Id: Santoso yang melihat kejadian itu tidak tahan untuk tidak tertawa.
En: Loudly, he said, "Mr. Budi, your wife is sick at home with the flu.
Id: Dengan keras, ia berkata, "Pak Budi, istrimu di rumah sakit flu, kalau sampai bawa pulang wanita lain, bisa-bisa dimarahi!
En: If you bring another woman home, you might get scolded!"
Id: "Suasana pasar yang sebelumnya hanya dipenuhi suara tawar-menawar kini diisi dengan gelak tawa dari para penjual dan pembeli, yang turut terhibur oleh kejadian lucu itu.
En: The market atmosphere, previously filled with bargaining voices, was now filled with laughter from the sellers and the buyers, who were entertained by the funny incident.
Id: Budi yang awalnya malu akhirnya ikut tertawa sambil menggaruk kepalanya yang tidak gatal.
En: Budi, initially embarrassed, finally joined in the laughter while scratching his head that wasn't itchy.
Id: "Iya, benar.
En: "Yes, that's right.
Id: Anita di rumah pasti tertawa terbahak-bahak mendengar cerita ini," ucap Budi sambil pulih dari rasa malu.
En: Anita at home will definitely laugh out loud hearing this story," said Budi as he recovered from his embarrassment.
Id: Setelah insiden itu, Budi meneruskan belanjanya sambil sesekali disapa oleh pedagang lain dengan candaan ringan.
En: After the incident, Budi continued his shopping while occasionally being greeted by other traders with light-hearted jokes.
Id: Anita, yang sudah selesai berbelanja, pamit sambil melempar senyum ramah pada Budi.
En: Anita, who had finished shopping, bid farewell with a friendly smile to Budi.
Id: Saat pulang ke rumah, Budi bercerita semuanya pada Anita, sang istri sejati, yang dengan antusias tertawa mendengar suaminya menjadi bintang pasar tradisional untuk sejenak.
En: When they returned home, Budi told everything to Anita, his true wife, who enthusiastically laughed as her husband became the star of the traditional market for a moment.
Id: Keduanya tertawa bersama, dan malam itu sup ayam buatan Budi terasa lebih hangat dan lezat karena dibumbui oleh tawa dan keceriaan yang tak terlupakan dari pasar tradisional itu.
En: They laughed together, and that night, Budi's chicken soup felt warmer and more delicious because it was seasoned with the unforgettable laughter and joy from the traditional market.
