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."

What a mess

"You're the sound that makes all the noise in the background fade away."

"Who are we hiding from?" I ask her in a hushed whisper after telling her to scoot over.

"How did you know I was here?" she whispers back.

"Because when I was your age, whenever I needed to get away from my parents, I hid under Ansh's bed. Not a good choice though, as he always ratted me out.

"Why are we whispering though?" I ask in a whisper. When I realise what just happened, I repeat myself in a throaty voice.

Before I can say anything else, I hear footsteps and then, a flashlight is being shined in my face.

"What are you both doing down there? Get out," Ayan states before glancing at Tara. "There are giant monsters under the bed, Tara. They'll eat you. Come outside and talk."

"Really?" I mouth to him. "Monsters?!"

Tara frowns, looking around her in fear, "Why can't I see any though?"
