Two families. An arranged marriage. 
What could possibly go wrong?

A story filled with love, laughter and lots of embarrassment.
_________________________________________________
"You can't find someone so pretty, smart, funny, stubborn, mature, childlike, fearless, shy, insecure, emotional, no bullshit; all at the same time."

"You're like a broken compass. You are either happy or just fucking annoyed with everything. Either way, you don't know exactly how you feel and what you want."

Despite not wanting to get married, when Naira's family insists her to tie the knot, she decides to give Ayan a chance. Cocky, friendly, and extremely attractive, he shares an unlikely trail of secrets that haunt his past and come knocking down his present. Getting kidnapped, temporarily adopting a seven-year-old, attending a marriage, making new friends... Naira does it all. Amid all the chaos, she'll find not only love but also herself.

"Your laugh wrinkles your forehead. It touches my foolish heart."

"You're like a book I keep on reading but can't remember. Every time I read, I find a new section, a new paragraph, a new sentence."

The characters are both Indian and reside in Delhi as of now.

What a mess

"Your smile never fails to turn my frown upside down."

The sun beams through the thick glass windows of the cafe, illuminating Siya's face as she orders coffee for herself.

Her eyes linger on me, and she asks, "Do you want to talk about your date?" She wiggles her eyebrows when I stare at her hard, unbelieving. How can she ask me that in front of kids?

Tara's eyes light up and she puts her hands on the table, slightly jumping excitedly. "I want to know too! You haven't told me anything!"

I raise an eyebrow at her, "And you don't need to know either."

Her hazel eyes dull for a moment and her smile drops immediately, groaning in disappointment, "You're no fun."
