Alya Pramesti hanyalah seorang gadis desa berusia 19 tahun, yang datang ke kota dengan mimpi sederhana: melanjutkan kuliah, membanggakan ibunya, dan menulis puisi tentang kehidupan. Hidupnya di desa penuh kesucian—senja, doa, dan ladang padi yang menguning. Namun kota ternyata bukan panggung keindahan, melainkan labirin yang keras dan kejam. Biaya kuliah yang menunggak, kos yang hampir jatuh tempo, dan kabar bahwa ibunya jatuh sakit membuat Alya terdesak. Semua lamaran pekerjaan ditolak karena dianggap tak berpengalaman, hingga akhirnya ia berada di persimpangan jalan: menyerah pada mimpinya, atau mengorbankan sesuatu yang paling berharga—kesucian yang ia jaga sejak kecil. Dengan hati hancur, Alya memilih jalan yang tak pernah ia bayangkan: ia rela melepaskan keperawanannya demi bertahan hidup. Malam itu mengubah dirinya selamanya—antara rasa bersalah, kehilangan, dan kenyataan pahit bahwa kota bisa merenggut apa saja, bahkan yang paling suci. Di tengah luka itu, hadir Aditya Mahendra—seorang pria tampan dari kampus, dingin namun romantis, yang mampu membuat Alya kembali merasakan getar cinta. Namun cinta bukanlah pelarian, sebab rahasia kelam masa lalu Alya membayanginya setiap saat.

Renaissant dans une nouvelle vie, j'ai décidé de rester loin de Lucien Dubois. Lorsqu'il a été parachuté dans l'entreprise où je travaillais, j'ai rapidement démissionné. Quand il a acheté un appartement dans mon quartier, j'ai déménagé aussi loin que possible. Il a choisi de reprendre l'entreprise familiale et de rester dans le pays, alors j'ai demandé une mutation à l'étranger. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais utilisé ma grossesse pour le forcer à m'épouser. Mais le jour du mariage, son premier amour était revenue. En me voyant mariée à lui, elle s'était retournée et avait sauté du toit. Lucien avait fait semblant que rien ne s'était passé et m'avait épousée avec le sourire. Le jour de notre anniversaire de mariage, il nous avait emmenées, ma fille et moi, faire du saut à l'élastique. Mais il avait coupé la corde de sécurité, ma fille et moi étions mortes en tombant. Après notre mort, il avait ri cruellement devant nos corps. « Si ce n'était pas toi, Élise ne se serait jamais suicidée ! » « Maintenant, va en enfer pour expier pour elle ! » Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis retournée à la nuit où j'avais utilisé mon enfant pour le forcer à m'épouser.
