Assalamualaikum Baitullah
Amira’s (Michelle Ziudith) life changes drastically after being betrayed by her husband, Pram (Miqdad Addausy). Pram longs for a “perfect” family, complete with a child, leaving Amira heartbroken. In her despair, Amira meets Barra (Arbani Yasiz), a man engaged to Amel (Tissa Biani), a cheerful and kind-hearted influencer. Just as Amira begins to feel hope for love again, she discovers Barra’s relationship with Amel, leaving her once more in grief.
