Aku merasa senang bisa kembali ke sini," jawabnya, namun ada rasa khawatir yang mengintip dari balik matanya.En: "A lot has happened. I'm glad to be back here," she replied, though a hint of worry peeked from her eyes.Id: Sari, dengan semangat petualangnya yang tak pernah pudar, menatap Rina penuh rasa ingin tahu.En: Sari, with her adventurous spirit that never faded, looked at Rina with curiosity.Id: "Aku dengar kamu berkeliling ke banyak tempat.
