hampir terbenam.En: When Adi returned, the sun was nearly setting.Id: Dia langsung menghampiri Siti, membuka botol dengan tangan gemetar, dan memberikan obat itu.En: He immediately went to Siti, opening the bottle with trembling hands, and gave her the medicine.Id: Perlahan, warna di wajah Siti kembali, napasnya stabil.En: Gradually, color returned to Siti's face, her breath steadied.Id: Semua terselamatkan, sementara Budi membantu membangunkan Siti dengan senyum lega.En: Everyone was saved, while Budi helped sit up Siti with a relieved smile.Id: "Terima kasih, Adi," bisik Siti, matanya penuh penghargaan.En: "Thank you, Adi," Siti whispered, her eyes filled with gratitude.Id: Adi merasa hangat di dadanya, telah memenangkan pertempuran kecil untuk hari itu.En: Adi felt warmth in his chest, having won a small battle for the day.Id: Malam merayap saat mereka duduk bersama, menguatkan niat mencari tempat baru dan lebih aman.En: Night crept in as they sat together,
