"Ya, aku melakukannya."

Abigaile:
"I knew you would! You’re different from the other policemen."
Javi glances at Gelia, who is watching him with a mixture of suspicion and hope.

Abigaile:
"Aku tahu kau akan melakukannya! Kau berbeda dari polisi lainnya." Javi melirik Gelia, yang sedang
mengamatinya dengan campuran kecurigaan dan harapan.

Abigaile: (innocently)
"Are you going to help us, Mr. Policeman?"
Abigaile: (polos)

"Apakah Anda akan membantu kami, Pak Polisi?"

Javi doesn’t answer right away. He knows the road ahead is dangerous, possibly fatal. But as he looks
into Abigaile’s bright, trusting eyes, he feels something stir inside him—a resolve he hasn’t felt in a long
time.

Javi tidak langsung menjawab. Dia tahu jalan di depannya berbahaya, bahkan bisa berakibat fatal. Namun, saat
menatap mata Abigaile yang cerah dan penuh kepercayaan, dia merasakan sesuatu menggeliat di dalam dirinya—
tekad yang sudah lama tidak dirasakannya.

Javi: (softly)
"Yeah, kid. I’ll help you."

Javi: (dengan lembut)
"Ya, Nak. Aku akan membantumu."

Gelia tenses at his words, but she doesn’t argue. For the first time, she allows herself to hope that
maybe, just maybe, Javi is telling the truth.
Gelia menegang mendengar kata-katanya, tetapi dia tidak membantah. Untuk pertama kalinya, dia membiarkan
dirinya berharap bahwa mungkin, mungkin saja, Javi mengatakan yang sebenarnya.

Gelia: (cautious, but hopeful)
"If you’re serious about helping us, you need to be careful. The government doesn’t take rebellion
lightly. And you’ll need to decide quickly where your loyalties lie."

Gelia: (Was-was, tetapi penuh harap)
