Tubuhnya mulai terasa lemas, sedikit pusing melanda, membuat langkah kakinya melambat.En: Her body started feeling weak, a slight dizziness swept over her, causing her steps to slow down.Id: "Sinta, aku perlu istirahat sebentar," kata Dewi dengan nafas sedikit terengah.En: "Sinta, I need to rest for a bit," said Dewi with slightly labored breath.Id: Rizal mendengarnya dan segera mencari tempat teduh untuk mereka bertiga.En: Rizal heard her and quickly searched for a shady spot for the three of them.Id: Di bawah pohon yang rindang, mereka duduk, dan Dewi minum air dengan rasa syukur.En: Under a leafy tree, they sat, and Dewi drank water with gratitude.Id: "Jangan paksakan, Dewi.En: "Don't push yourself, Dewi.Id: Kita di sini untuk merayakan dan menikmati," kata Rizal mengingatkan.En: We're here to celebrate and enjoy," Rizal reminded her.Id: Dewi tersenyum, memahami maksud temannya.En: Dewi smiled, understanding her friend's message.Id: Dia memutuskan untuk tidak segera kembali ke jalur menuju puncak, dan sejenak menikmati momen istirahatnya.En: She decided not to rush back onto the path to the peak and took a moment to enjoy her rest.Id: Setelah beberapa saat, Dewi merasa lebih baik.En: After a while, Dewi felt better.Id: Walaupun sudah terlambat untuk mengikuti bagian awal doa, dia bertekad mencapai puncak kala doa utama dimulai.En: Although it was too late to join the initial part of the prayer, she was determined to reach the peak by the start of the main prayer.Id: Semangatnya kembali mengalir, dan perlahan mereka bertiga melanjutkan perjalanan.En: Her spirit flowed back, and slowly, the three of them continued their journey.Id: Saat tiba di puncak, Dewi melihat pemandangan menakjubkan.En: Upon reaching the summit, Dewi witnessed a breathtaking view.Id: Barisan stupa besar kebiruan membingkai langit yang seakan menyatu dengan bumi.En: Rows of large bluish stupas framed the sky that seemed to blend with the earth.Id: Doa utama baru saja dimulai, dan
