During her marriage, Paula never knew what happiness meant. She loved Len Bertram sincerely but all he did was insult her for two years. Even despite his indifference, Paula's love for this man didn't fade. She believed he would come to realize that her feelings weren't false. Unfortunately, she was set up by her devious mother-in-law and her stepsister. Len believed them, which was unsurprising, and sent her away from the Bertram family as punishment. Six years have passed, and Paula is back with a fresh perspective on life and David Alesso—one of the most renowned film directors in the world—at her side. Now her ex-husband wants her back but Paula isn't the fragile, timid girl she used to be and won't let Len take away her joy. Len appeared more composed than he had been six years ago, but Paula was nothing like she had been. Now scheming, wild, unforgiving... Those people would regret what they did to her. ... *Excerpt* Paula huffed sharply as she stared at the distant man in front of her. "Mr. Bertram! What I do is none of your business? The fact that you are acting as though we have known each other for years when we ended our relationship badly is presumptuous, and we are not on good terms." "I'm sorry" Those words, as heavy as his heart, fell from his mouth. "I was a jerk and I know I deserve nothing from you but please..." "Don't get on my nerves, Mr. Bertram!" Paula yelled at him before he could say anything more, expressing her disinterest in listening to him. However, Len's next actions surprised her. He moved an inch closer to her, brushing off the strand of hair on her face. "I don't want to get on your nerves, Paula but I want to get into here." With his finger pointed directly at her chest, he tapped her heart. Paula's heart began racing wildly and at that precise moment she realized that Len was a fire she would never be able to put out. What will she do now? Will she be able to put out that fire?

one doesn't want to be alone, the others never left alone.

HAL pertama yang aku sadari adalah bahwa aku sedang dalam keadaan di antara alam sadar dan tidak sadar. Aku dapat mendengar bunyi bip... bip... bip... yang konstan dan terus-menerus, seperti bunyi air menetes dari keran yang tidak ditutup rapat. Bunyi itulah yang membangunkanku. Kucoba berkata-kata dan meminta seseorang agar mengencangkan keran itu, tetapi lidahku terasa berat dan kelu. Aku mencoba membuka mataku, usaha yang juga tidak membuahkan hasil. Kutenangkan diriku dan berusaha membuka mataku sekali lagi.

Semua berawal dari kepergian seorang gadis manja bernama Miku ke sebuah pulau di wilayah utara yang masih asri dan sejuk, bernama Pulau Elang. Awalnya, Miku datang dengan niat sederhana: bekerja dan mengumpulkan uang demi kepentingan pribadinya. Namun, rencana itu perlahan berubah ketika ia bertemu dengan Mark, seorang pria pribumi Pulau Elang yang tanpa disadari berhasil mengubah cara pandang Miku terhadap dunia dan kehidupan di sekitarnya. Hubungan mereka tumbuh cepat. Hanya dalam waktu tiga hari, ketertarikan berubah menjadi rasa sayang. Meski demikian, cinta yang mereka jalani harus disembunyikan—tak seorang pun boleh mengetahui hubungan mereka. Hubungan yang tersembunyi itu justru menumbuhkan banyak salah paham, terutama ketika Miku terlihat dekat dengan Rio, pria yang berasal dari suku yang sama dengan Mark, namun memiliki karakter yang sangat bertolak belakang. Kesalahpahaman demi kesalahpahaman perlahan meretakkan hubungan mereka, hingga rasa percaya Mark terhadap Miku nyaris hilang. Namun, Miku bukanlah sosok yang mudah menyerah. Ia berjuang mengembalikan kepercayaan Mark, meski setelahnya pertengkaran dan perbedaan justru semakin sering terjadi. Anehnya, di balik konflik tersebut, rasa sayang di antara mereka tumbuh semakin dalam—terutama saat mereka hanya berdua. Tanpa disadari, mereka kerap melupakan sebuah tembok besar yang berdiri di hadapan hubungan mereka: perbedaan keyakinan. Miku berdoa dengan tangan terangkat, sementara Mark berdoa dengan tangan tergenggam. Perbedaan yang sederhana, namun terasa sangat berat. Perjalanan cinta mereka belum usai ketika keadaan dan waktu memaksa mereka berpisah, terutama saat Miku harus kembali ke kampung halamannya. Namun, takdir kembali mempertemukan mereka. Dengan penuh rasa syukur, Miku menyadari bahwa skenario yang Tuhan tuliskan untuk hidupnya adalah tentang cinta yang tumbuh di tengah perbedaan. Mereka belajar untuk bersama meski cara berdoa tak sama, karena yang mereka yakini adalah bahwa setiap agama mengajarkan kebaikan, bukan keburukan.
