She never wanted a name that came with blood on it. Never wanted a life where choices were made before she even spoke them. Kiara Oberoi learned early that love inside her world always came with control, and control always came with loss. After her brother's death, she stopped believing in protection and started believing in escape. But escape is a dangerous idea in a world built on cages. Alessio De Luca never chased people. He studied them. Understood them. Collected pieces of their lives until there was nothing left they could hide. When he decided she would be his, it was never about asking. It was about waiting. Now every step she takes feels familiar to someone else. Every choice she makes feels already known. And every attempt to run only proves one thing he was never guessing where she would go.

Two strangers unexpectedly find one another in an airport full of unexpected events and situations.

Harapan secara harfiah berarti suatu keinginan yang ingin dicapai. Harapan erat kaitannya dengan bergerak maju dan bertentangan dengan kata 'menyerah' atau segala sesuatu yang memiliki definisi 'mundur'. Namun di hadapan realita, harapan pun memiliki variabel. Ada dua jenis variabel utama dari harapan yang menentukan langkah yang akan kita ambil selanjutnya. Pertama, jenis harapan yang layak untuk diperjuangkan hingga tercapai. Kedua, jenis harapan yang membodohi diri kita sendiri hingga berpikir untuk tetap maju, di saat kita seharusnya mundur dan tidak layak untuk diperjuangkan. Baik Keira dan Raian tidak tahu jenis harapan apa yang sedang mereka genggam saat ini, dan kapan waktu yang tepat untuk melepaskannya. Apakah mereka harus mundur agar bisa maju, atau tetap maju untuk berjalan mundur. Karena bagi keduanya, tidak ada kata 'menyerah' dalam kamus mereka.
