She loved him first.
He broke her heart before he even knew it existed.
Zaynah grew up trailing after her older cousin Ayaan - the golden boy of the family, the one every aunt praised, the one she secretly dreamed about.
Until one careless sentence, one stupid rumour, and one cruel laugh shattered everything.
Years later, she's no longer the shy girl with a teenage crush.
She's colder. Sharper. Impossible to impress.
And Ayaan?
He comes home to find out the girl he ignored has become the only one he can't stop thinking about.
He wants forgiveness.
She wants distance.
But between shared bloodlines, family expectations, stolen glances, and a past neither of them can outrun... their hearts have a way of colliding again.
He fell too late.
