Rizwan, a young archaeologist, stood with enthusiasm.Id: Pandangannya tertuju pada dinding candi yang berornamen indah.En: His gaze was fixed on the temple's beautifully ornate walls.Id: Ia yakin kalau ada rahasia besar tersembunyi di dalamnya, rahasia yang bisa menjadi penemuan besar dalam dunia arkeologi.En: He was convinced that a great secret lay hidden within, a secret that could become a significant discovery in the world of archaeology.Id: Di sisi lain, ada Amara, seorang sejarawan yang berdedikasi.En: On the other side, there was Amara, a dedicated historian.Id: "Rizwan, kita harus

ruangan itu, Rizwan harus memodifikasi beberapa struktur candi.En: To enter the room, Rizwan would have to modify some of the temple's structures.Id: Ini berarti melakukan perubahan yang mungkin tidak bisa diperbaiki.En: This meant making changes that might not be reversible.Id: "Hentikan, Rizwan.En: "Stop, Rizwan.Id: Jika kamu melangkah lebih jauh, kamu bisa merusak sesuatu yang tak ternilai," desak Amara.En: If you go any further, you might destroy something invaluable," urged Amara.Id: Rizwan terdiam.En: Rizwan fell silent.Id: Ia memandang Amara, kemudian menatap candi dengan hormat yang baru ditemukan.En: He looked at Amara, then at the temple with newfound respect.Id: Ia merasakan beban pilihan di hatinya.En: He felt the weight of choice in his heart.Id: Tekadnya untuk membuat penemuan besar mulai mengendur.En: His determination to make a grand discovery began to waver.Id: Tiba-tiba, ia menyadari bahwa ada cara lain.En: Suddenly, he realized there was another way.Id: Setelah perdebatan yang panjang dan penuh emosi, Rizwan membuat keputusan.En: After a long and emotional debate, Rizwan made a decision.Id: "Baiklah, Amara.En: "Alright, Amara.Id: Kita akan mendokumentasikan temuan kita tanpa merusak candi.En: We'll document our findings without damaging the temple.Id: Aku ingin menjaga tempat ini sebagaimana adanya," ujarnya akhirnya.En: I want to preserve this place as it is," he finally said.Id: Dengan keputusan itu, Rizwan dan Amara bekerja sama.En: With that decision, Rizwan and Amara worked together.Id: Mereka menggunakan teknik non-invasif untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang candi.En: They used non-invasive techniques to learn more about the temple.Id: Rizwan belajar menghargai pentingnya menjaga keutuhan sejarah, sementara Amara merasa lega bahwa candi tetap dilestarikan.En: Rizwan learned to appreciate the importance of preserving historical integrity, while Amara felt relieved that the temple remained preserved.Id: Kini, Rizwan melihat Borobudur bukan hanya sebagai objek studi arkeologi tapi juga sebagai simbol penting dari sejarah dan budaya yang harus selalu dihormati dan dijaga.En: Now, Rizwan saw Borobudur not just as an archaeological study object but also as an important symbol of history and culture that must always be respected and preserved.Id: Hujan terus turun dengan lembut,
