Vrishali was popularly known as the life of the party. She had a natural ability to make friends with anyone she met. Everyone adored her, and she had yet to find her perfect match amidst all the chaos of her college parties. However, she was not interested in dating anyone at the moment. She was content with being single and wanted to enjoy her college life to the fullest without any commitments holding her back. She always had this belief in the timeline in her mind. 'Meeting. . . Knowing. . . Dating. . . Live-in. . . Marriage. . .' Marriage has always been somewhere in the back of her head. She didn't believe in the concept of love at first sight or the prospect of marrying someone she hadn't lived with. She is fully committed to enjoying her college life to the fullest. However, when her grandparents invite her parents to spend the summer holidays with them in India, she reluctantly agrees to go along. To her delight, she discovers that she will have the opportunity to meet one of the country's royal families during her trip. But that's not all stored for her. When things take a 360°, she couldn't do anything except listen. Until it crashed all her beliefs in one go, they said love doesn't need to come first, then marriage. It can be the other way: first comes marriage, then comes love, filling you like slow happiness in a desert of sadness. "We meet for a reason― to fill the empty parts, to make it a little over the top, to try the filmy drama in a drama called life."

Asfia's gaze lingered on her husband, a man who possessed all the qualities she'd ever dreamt of: tall, handsome, and unfailingly kind-a true gentleman. Yet, beneath his perfect exterior, she sensed a profound sadness, his eyes devoid of light. This was an arranged marriage, she reminded herself, and love couldn't be rushed. He provided for her, granting her every wish, yet an unspoken question lingered-was material comfort enough? Faisal, in his own silent contemplation, had accepted the marriage to Asfia, a recent graduate from a dental college. It had been his parents' wish, and he had gone along with it, almost apathetic to the outcome. His heart, once given entirely to Fiza, had been broken, leaving him emotionally empty. Love had become synonymous with pain, and he harbored no desire to endure such hurt again. "Look at me," Asfia thought, "I'm right here." ***************************************************** Can a hopeless romantic and a skeptic find love? *****************************************************
