Kadang, yang paling bagus tersembunyi.”En: “Don’t just choose what's in front. Sometimes, the best ones are hidden.”Id: Budi memandu mereka ke bagian pasar yang lebih sepi.En: Budi guided them to a quieter part of the market.Id: Di sana, Rahma menemukan sebuah patung kayu yang diukir dengan indah.En: There, Rahma found a beautifully carved wooden statue.Id: Patung itu menggambarkan Dewi Saraswati, dewi pengetahuan dalam budaya Bali.En: The statue depicted Dewi Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge in Bali culture.Id: Ada sesuatu yang membuat Rahma merasa terhubung dengan patung itu.En: There was something that made Rahma feel connected to the statue.Id: Namun, harga awal membuatnya ragu.En: However, the initial price made her hesitant.Id: “Menurutmu bagaimana, Maya?” Rahma bertanya.En: “What do you think, Maya?” Rahma asked.Id: Maya menatap patung itu lebih lama.En: Maya looked at the statue longer.Id: “Aku akui, ini sangat cantik. Mungkin nenekmu akan menyukainya.”En: “I admit, it's very beautiful. Maybe your grandmother will like it.”Id: Rahma tersenyum dan dengan bantuan Budi, ia mulai bernegosiasi.En: Rahma smiled and with Budi's help, she began to negotiate.Id: Setelah beberapa waktu dan usaha, akhirnya Budi memberikan harga yang lebih terjangkau untuk Rahma.En: After some time and effort, finally, Budi gave a more affordable price for Rahma.Id: Dengan hati yang lega, Rahma membeli patung itu.En: With a relieved heart, Rahma bought the statue.Id: Saat mereka berjalan keluar dari pasar, Maya berkata, “Patung itu memang indah.
