Some hearts are impossible to read. Some people are impossible to resist. Nezal Hashmi and Usman bin Khalid couldn't be more different-one sweet, one mysterious, one stubborn, one... infuriating. Fate throws them together, sparks fly, and slowly... something neither of them expected begins to grow. Enemies? Maybe. Something more? That's what time will tell. A slow-burn romance about love that sneaks in, laughter that lights up the chaos, and hearts that wait for the right moment.
