The Boy I Swore to Hate
by Ishqxwrts
Inaya Mirza had rules for everything.
Be punctual.
Be disciplined.
Never break the rules.
And most importantly-
never let Ayan Siddiqui get on her nerves.
Ayan was everything Inaya couldn't stand.
Careless.
Unpredictable.
A shameless rule-breaker.
And unfortunately, he was also one of the brightest students in school.
Their rivalry begins with arguments, academic competitions, and a collision neither of them will forget. What starts as "I can't stand you" slowly turns into something neither of them knows how to name.
But while Inaya and Ayan are busy trying to outdo each other, three different stories are quietly unfolding around them.
Rayyan Mirza meets the quiet and mysterious Haya Siddiqui, and an unexpected friendship begins.
Zehra Mirza, a young fashion designer, starts working for the reserved businessman Saad Siddiqui-her boss, her complete opposite, and perhaps someone who is becoming much more important than she expected.
And somewhere in the background, two families carry a story of their own.
Omar Mirza and Farhan Siddiqui were once inseparable best friends.
Twenty-five years ago, life pulled them apart.
Now, neither knows that their children have already crossed paths.
Neither knows that an old friendship is about to return.
And neither knows that the secrets, memories, and wounds carried by their families will eventually bring everyone together.
Because sometimes, the person you swear you'll hate...
becomes the person you can't imagine your life without.
And sometimes, the story you thought was about falling in love...
was actually about finding your way back home. π€
