Umaima's been waiting for her fairytale ending ever since she spotted her very own Prince Charming at the age of nine-Muhammad, the eldest son of her mother's friend. Though time and distance separated them, Umaima's heart never strayed, and her imagination ran wild. Now 21, she's ready for her long-awaited chance to make him see her as more than just the awkward little girl from his past. With Muhammad's mother on the hunt for a daughter -in-law, Umaima is determined to prove one thing: true love really is worth the wait-and maybe a little bit of scheming.

She has been in love with him for as long as she can remember. She was madly head over heels for him. When she was bound to him, things don't go as she expected. Trust gets broken... Lies and deceit.... Twists and distortions. She tried everything. She trusted everyone. But good things don't come easy.

Surrayya doesn't do complications. Life is sweet when you keep things simple- bake, paint, watch F1, and avoid emotional entanglements. Feelings? Too messy. Love? Too risky. She'd rather stick to what she can control: her dreams, her business, and her ever-growing collection of car facts no one asks for. Hafiz likes life structured. Numbers make sense. Investments have predictable outcomes. He has always believed that with enough discipline, life can be controlled. But lately, he's starting to realize- some things aren't meant to follow a formula, proving that even the best-laid plans can crash and burn. Their paths weren't supposed to cross. And yet, somehow, they crashed into each other-in the most unexpected place. She's all spontaneity; he's all logic. She runs from feelings; he's learning to confront them. Neither of them is looking for love, but love? It might just be looking for them. Because sometimes, the best things in life happen when you're not paying attention.
