Id: Dewi merasakan adanya kehadiran zaman lampau.
En: Dewi felt the presence of the past.

Id: Dia yakin leluhurnya menjaga candi ini.
En: She believed her ancestors were watching over the temple.

Id: Namun, tidak semua mempercayainya.
En: However, not everyone believed her.

Id: Ayu, walau akrab dengan cerita nenek moyangnya, ragu menyentuh hal gaib.
En: Ayu, though familiar with her ancestors' stories, was hesitant to touch on supernatural matters.

Id: Made, dengan ketertarikan terhadap misteri, menambah kegalauan.
En: Made, with his interest in mysteries, added to the unease.

Id: "Dewi, itu hanya kebetulan," kata Ayu di tangga batu yang diukir indah.
En: "Dewi, it's just a coincidence," said Ayu on the beautifully carved stone steps.

Id: "Tapi ada sesuatu yang lebih," jawab Dewi dengan tekad.
En: "But there's something more," replied Dewi with determination.

Id: Made, dengan kamera tergantung di leher, mengangguk, "Mungkin ada yang bisa kita temukan.
En: Made, with his camera hanging around his neck, nodded, "Maybe there's something we can find."

Id: "Dewi memutuskan mulai penyelidikan.

Id: Meski Ayu ragu, dia bersedia membantu.

En: Together with Made, the three of them explored the temple terraces.

Id: Setiap relief bercerita, setiap sudut memancarkan sejarah.
En: Every relief told a story, every corner exuded history.

Id: Di salah satu sudut terpencil, mereka berhenti.

Id: Dewi merasa ada sesuatu.
En: Dewi felt something.

Id: Sebuah pintu batu tampak samar tertutup dedaunan.
En: A stone door appeared faintly, covered in leaves.

Id: Mereka bertiga berusaha membukanya.
En: The three of them tried to open it.

Id: Dengan usaha keras, pintu batu bergeser perlahan.
En: With great effort, the stone door slowly shifted.

Id: Di dalam, sebuah ruangan kuno tersembunyi.
En: Inside, they discovered a hidden ancient room.

Id: Dindingnya dihiasi ukiran tua.

En: One of them recounted the legend of a missing guardian.

Id: Dia berjanji menjaga candi selama-lamanya.
