Id: "Kita harus fokus pada Intan!
En: "We need to focus on Intan!"

Id: "Rendra meremas tinjunya.
En: Rendra clenched his fist.

Id: Dia merasa berada di persimpangan jalan.

Id: "Kita di sini untuk Intan," katanya, suaranya gemetar.
En: "We are here for Intan," she said, her voice trembling.

Id: "Semua ini sia-sia kalau kita tidak bersatu.
