He is the owner of the biggest architecture company in India. She is hired as his personal assistant. He has a past she doesn't know just like she has demons of her own he isn't aware of. They were friends when they were kids, but when they met as adults she hated him and maybe he hated her too. What caused them to go from being friends to enemies? what happens when there is a problem and the solution is their marriage?

Let's start with a fiction of a fiction. Plot Brief: Everyone knows the background and if not, all the better, the mystery awaits you! So let's dive in! As a time perspective, the story starts from the night of the Talent Hunt when Manik stands on the cross-roads to choose between Nandini and FAB5. Cliché rhetorical questions: Will Manik choose Nandini over FAB 5? Will FAB5 understand them? What will Nyonika's next step be? Disclaimer: I have read many, many stories, which you might have understood by my reading list! (Trust me there are more, many of which I finished at once, many in the private list, and many I have browsed through.) So, any correlation to any story, plot-wise, character-wise or any other -wise, is absolutely unintentional. I will try hard on my memory to not draw from other's stories. If there are any objections, please message me FIRST and we can sort that totally rationally and maturely. Thank you! Love, H

Beneath the layers of every realist, pessimist, cynic and modern day woman - as well as the optimists, excited, childish, Old school ones - lies a hidden or obvious desire - of having your own pefect little love story - the one that would make you curl your toes in giddy happiness. So does Nandini Murthy. Her only problem - she hasn't yet found the one. Stitched in the soul of every man - is the hope, that he will be accepted and loved the way he craves, and that he would someday love someone till the wee end of earth - that he too might have a filmy dream come true, that he too would be the Raj to someone's Simran. So does Manik Malhotra. His only problem - nobody seems to intrigue him enough. One Trip and their world are about to change - almost unrealistically. But wasn't that they were waiting to happen anyway? Cover and title credits : @ElysianCoral
