more important?"Id: " Dewi berusaha menghibur.En: Dewi tried to console him.Id: Rendra terdiam, merenungkan kata-kata Dewi.En: Rendra remained silent, pondering Dewi's words.Id: Benar, pusaka memang berarti, tapi apa yang paling penting adalah niat dan tekad.En: It's true, the heirloom was significant, but what was most important was the intention and determination.Id: Setelah mendiskusikan dengan tetua, mereka memutuskan upacara tetap dilanjutkan.En: After discussing with the elders, they decided the ceremony would proceed.Id: Meski pusaka rusak, Nyepi bukan semata tentang benda, tapi
