Two families. An arranged marriage. 
What could possibly go wrong?

A story filled with love, laughter and lots of embarrassment.

"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."

I stare dumbfounded at the 'tattooed man', who is bent on his knees currently, mid-conversation with a smiling Kushagra. He is as happy as I've ever seen him and the fact that I know the truth behind his father makes my stomach clench in pain.

"That's the guy you called cute," Ayan whispers.

"Huh?" I say brusquely, having forgotten that I had been standing beside Ayan all this while. "Oh, yeah," I fake a smile. "Yeah, I called him cute..."
