Farid drove home from work. He was on a quiet road. There were no houses near this road. Suddenly, the car made a strange sound. Farid looked at the gas gauge. The tank was almost empty.
Farid mengemudi pulang dari kantor. Ia berada di jalan yang sepi. Tidak ada rumah di dekat jalan ini. Tiba-tiba, mobilnya mengeluarkan suara aneh. Farid melihat indikator bensin. Tangkinya hampir kosong.
He stopped the car by the road. He looked around for help. There was no gas station in sight. Farid checked his phone. He had no signal here.
Ia menghentikan mobil di pinggir jalan. Ia melihat sekeliling untuk mencari bantuan. Tidak ada pom bensin yang terlihat. Farid memeriksa ponselnya. Di sini tidak ada sinyal.
He got out of the car. He locked the car and started to walk. The sun was hot that day. Farid walked for twenty minutes. Finally, he saw a small gas station.
Ia turun dari mobil. Ia mengunci mobilnya dan mulai berjalan. Matahari hari itu sangat terik. Farid berjalan selama dua puluh menit. Akhirnya, ia melihat sebuah pom bensin kecil.
He walked up to the door. A man stood behind the counter. "Hello. Can I buy a gas can?" Farid asked. "Sure. Here is a red can," the man said. Farid paid for the can and the gas.
Ia berjalan ke pintunya. Seorang pria berdiri di belakang meja kasir. "Halo. Bisakah saya membeli jeriken?" tanya Farid. "Tentu. Ini jeriken merah," kata pria itu. Farid membayar jeriken dan bensinnya.
He filled the can with gas. He thanked the man and left. He walked back to his car. The walk felt long. He did not stop.
Ia mengisi jeriken itu dengan bensin. Ia berterima kasih kepada pria itu dan pergi. Ia berjalan kembali ke mobilnya. Perjalanan itu terasa panjang. Ia tidak berhenti.
At last, he saw his car by the road. Farid opened the tank. He poured in the gas. He got in the car and turned the key. The car started.
Akhirnya, ia melihat mobilnya di pinggir jalan. Farid membuka tangki. Ia menuangkan bensin ke dalamnya. Ia masuk ke mobil dan memutar kunci. Mobilnya menyala.
Farid smiled. He drove to the nearest gas station. He filled the tank all the way. Then he drove home.
Farid tersenyum. Ia mengemudi ke pom bensin terdekat. Ia mengisi tangki sampai penuh. Lalu ia mengemudi pulang.
