The Back Door

Nina runs to the kitchen door.

Nina lari ke pintu dapur.

“Grandma!” she shouts.

“Nenek!” teriaknya.

She puts her hands on the door. It doesn’t open.

Dia menaruh tangannya di pintu. Pintu itu tidak terbuka.

“Grandma! It is me! It is Nina!”

“Nenek! Ini aku! Ini Nina!”

There is nothing behind the door. It is very quiet.

Tidak ada apa-apa di belakang pintu. Sangat sunyi.

She takes out her key. Her hand is cold.

Dia mengambil kuncinya. Tangannya dingin.

She puts it to the door. It doesn’t go in.

Dia menaruhnya ke pintu. Kunci itu tidak masuk.

Not this door.

Bukan pintu ini.

She knows those words. She knows them from the first day.

Dia kenal kata-kata itu. Dia kenal kata-kata itu dari hari pertama.

The door of the hotel opens. Mrs Berg comes in with rain on her coat.

Pintu hotel terbuka. Bu Berg masuk dengan hujan di mantelnya.

She looks at Nina. She looks at the key.

Dia melihat Nina. Dia melihat kunci.

She looks at the telephone on the desk.

Dia melihat telepon di meja.

“That door is closed,” she says.

“Pintu itu tertutup,” katanya.

“My grandma is in your kitchen!”

“Nenek aku ada di dapur Bu Berg!”
