“I don’t need you to always be strong. I just need you to be honest.” Nara Calistha has always been the one everyone could rely on, at work, in her family, and especially in the eyes of Arka Adhitama, her future husband.

But the closer their happy day comes, the harder Nara tries to hide the truth, not because she doesn’t trust Arka’s love, but because she loves him too much to let him relive the fear that has haunted him since childhood: the panic of waiting without certainty, while the person he loves quietly keeps everything to themselves.
