Meet Marina, our beautiful female protagonist. She's trained to act poised, gentle and calm. She's a Muslim and she comes from an orthodox family. She doesn't engage in conversations with any men outside her family. She wasn't allowed to fall in love either. So, she never actually experienced true love. She was ready to marry any man her mother picked for her. And, Marina barely even started college.
Meet Zayn, our handsome male protagonist. Ah well, he is an untamed stud- too flirtatious and crude. He's a Muslim, by the way. But, he comes from a broad minded family. He lives on his own since he's in college. He doesn't engage in conversations with women, rather he does the unholy chores. But, likewise, he never really did understand love in its true sense. So naturally, Marriage wasn't in his dictionary.
Two different worlds. Nobody has seen Marina without her hijab, no one has ever seen the color of her hair. Everybody has seen Zayn without clothes, of course. They are all fully aware of his physique and the color of his hair. So, if the two worlds collide what do you think might happen?
A rose might bloom or it might just wilt...

When Opposite Repels...
A situation where two completely different people are brought together by fate - you would think the famous 'opposites attract' line would apply to them also. But would it??? They say opposites attract. Nobody warned them about what happens when they repel. Tasneem was warmth, noise, and colour. Zayn was silence, discipline, and distance. Their arranged marriage was never supposed to be a love story - and for a long time, it wasn't. But love has a way of arriving exactly when you've stopped looking for it. And sometimes, it takes losing everything to understand what you actually had. Some hearts find their way back. But the journey back is never simple. --- "You can't go out until we've had this discussion Zayn" I voiced He glanced at me daringly and stood up leaving me alone in the study I'd really like to see how he goes out with a busted Tyre I ran out of the room and got the nails which I had once come across at the store, running to his car, I placed them carefully in front of the tyres, as soon as I was done, I ran back in almost getting caught Yes I'm a bad person, I know I sat in the sitting room, waiting for the outcome of my actions and soon enough he came back yelling my name I don't know where he learnt to yell, I hope I'm not driving him nuts "Sumayya!" He stopped as he saw me at the sitting room smiling sheepishly I don't even intend to hide the fact that I damaged his tyres "Oh how comes you want to talk to me now?" I batted my lashes "What did you do to my car??" Well..... Have fun❤️Complete

----- (Arsalan's POV) She lifted her purse and raised it to strike me once with more, the anger returning to her eyes but only half-heartedly.
