Sofia never expected to spend a month in a quiet Malaysian village, far from the fast-paced life she knew in Singapore. With an arranged marriage to Nadhir looming, she reluctantly agrees to help her ailing aunt. What she doesn't anticipate is the pull she feels toward Syafiq-a reserved, enigmatic young man whose own secrets run deep. 

As she navigates the village's rhythms, Sofia struggles with her growing feelings for Syafiq and the reality of her engagement, which she has kept hidden from everyone. Syafiq, too, finds himself torn between his connection to Sofia and the expectations for him to marry another.

When buried truths come to light, Sofia stands at a crossroads, facing a choice between duty and desire, mind and heart-decisions that will shape her future forever.
