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

"Stop it, Ayan! Oh, my God, I can't stop blushing!!"

"I often have that effect."

"I remember you fell for it." He adds tantalisingly, "Head over heels."

"Ayan," I say gently, "It's been ten minutes already. Let him go. His hands must be hurting!"

I'm sitting cross-legged beside Tara, who has calmed down and is busy playing Candy Crush on my phone even though it's about to die soon; no matter how many times I charge my phone, it's useless as she starts using it without my permission and doesn't put it to charge afterwards. Kushagra's toys lie littered around us on the floor, which Tara refuses to play with, and I, honestly, don't blame her.

But I do blame Ayan. He's being way too strict with Ku. Ayan should sit Kushagra down and explain to him why what he said and did was wrong, but he just won't listen to me.

Terrible Father
