Id: Sementara itu, Arief yang lebih hati-hati merasa waswas.
En: Meanwhile, the more cautious Arief felt anxious.

Id: "Jangan terlalu berharap, Riz.
En: "Don't get your hopes up too high, Riz.

Id: Cuacanya sering tidak menentu," katanya sambil memandang ke langit yang masih kelabu.

Id: Rizky harus memutuskan: tetap menunggu atau jelajahi sekeliling candi?
En: Rizky had to decide: keep waiting or explore around the temple?

En: Finally, just as he was about to give up, the wind gradually cleared the mist.

Id: Seolah alam bekerja sama, awan pun mulai memudar.
En: As if nature was cooperating, the clouds began to fade.

Id: Rizky langsung mengangkat kameranya.

Id: "Ini dia!
En: "There it is!"

Id: " seru Rizky penuh semangat.
