Aru Shah wasn't remotely in the place to have another relationship, much less settle down and start a family. Heartbroken from her ex boyfriend attempting to cheat on her with her older sister Kara, another relationship was way out of the question.
Aiden Acharya had never wanted to get married. He had never thought about it seriously, because that was dangerous. It was dangerous to think that he could get married, because the more he put into people, the more terrifying it was. Risking being anything like his dad was too much to ask for, so he would play it safe.
So when the only match that Aru and Aiden's mom bring home happen to be eachother, the boy Aru has hated since middle school for reasons that shall not be disclosed, and the girl Aiden has always found a little strange and who has also hated him since middle school for reasons he was unaware of, it became even more unlikely that they would get married.
But both succumb to the pressure of their family, and both agree to meet eachother, eventually concocting a plan to fake date eachother so their parents realize how horribly suited they are for marriage- and for eachother. One thing leads to another, and both Aru and Aiden find themselves wrapped up in a rollercoaster of secrets, built up emotion, and unanswered questions.
Can they find their own version of forever together?
