Mariana's life feels like a delicate balancing act. At 22, she's navigating the pressures of her overprotective parents, her cultural expectations, and her own yearning for love and independence.
Ridwan seems like everything her family could hope for: kind, dependable, and deeply rooted in tradition. But beneath the surface of their relationship lies a void that even Ridwan can't seem to fill. Then there's Ryden-a free-spirited and unpredictable presence who challenges everything Mariana thought she wanted.
Torn between the security of Ridwan and the thrill of Ryden, Mariana must face difficult truths about herself, her relationships, and the kind of love she truly deserves. Will she follow her heart, or will the weight of expectations hold her back?
