Sampul One Player Short for Game Night

Every Thursday, Ayo hosts a card game night. Four friends usually fill the table. Snacks and drinks cover every corner of the room.

Setiap Kamis, Ayo menjadi tuan rumah malam permainan kartu. Biasanya empat orang teman memenuhi meja. Camilan dan minuman memenuhi setiap sudut ruangan.

This Thursday, one friend cancels at the last minute. He catches a bad cold. Ayo now has only three players.

Kamis ini, seorang teman membatalkan di menit terakhir. Ia terkena flu berat. Sekarang Ayo hanya punya tiga pemain.

The game needs four people to work well. Ayo checks his phone for anyone free tonight. Nobody answers his messages in time.

Permainan itu butuh empat orang agar seru. Ayo memeriksa ponselnya untuk mencari siapa pun yang senggang malam ini. Tidak ada yang membalas pesannya tepat waktu.

He looks out the window, thinking fast. His new neighbor Sevda waters plants outside. He barely knows her. He walks over anyway.

Ia memandang ke luar jendela sambil berpikir cepat. Tetangga barunya, Sevda, sedang menyiram tanaman di luar. Ia hampir tidak mengenalnya. Meski begitu, ia berjalan menghampirinya.

"Hi, I'm Ayo, from next door," he says. "We're one player short for game night. Do you want to join us?"

"Hai, aku Ayo, dari sebelah," katanya. "Kami kekurangan satu pemain untuk malam permainan. Kamu mau bergabung?"

Sevda looks surprised, then smiles. "I never played this game before," she says. "But sure, why not?"

Sevda tampak terkejut, lalu tersenyum. "Aku belum pernah main permainan ini," katanya. "Tapi boleh, kenapa tidak?"

She sets down her watering can and follows him inside. Ayo explains the rules in two quick minutes. Sevda learns the game fast.

Ia meletakkan penyiramnya dan mengikuti Ayo masuk. Ayo menjelaskan aturannya dalam dua menit singkat. Sevda cepat belajar.

By the end of the night, Sevda wins two rounds. The group cheers for the new player. Ayo saves her a seat for next week.

Menjelang akhir malam, Sevda memenangkan dua ronde. Kelompok itu bersorak untuk pemain baru mereka. Ayo menyisakan kursi untuknya minggu depan.

"Same time next Thursday?" Ayo asks. Sevda nods and grabs her jacket. "I bring snacks next time," she says.

"Jam yang sama Kamis depan?" tanya Ayo. Sevda mengangguk dan mengambil jaketnya. "Lain kali aku yang bawa camilan," katanya.
