"when a broken girl and a homeless boy come together, an explosion is bound to happen - no sparks, no fireworks; just a wrecking explosion"
This is a story of hopes and disappointments and of light blotting out the dark.
Haris Bin Hashim is the weird street boy who makes flower necklaces by day and paints the skies by night. His only dream is to find a mother - and himself - in this labyrinth of a world. He wants his own fairy tale and happily ever after but he's losing hope. Do they really exist?
Daniya Suleiman is the rich girl with a low self-esteem. Bullied all her life, she just wants to relax back in bed and have people like and follow her. She wants her own high school cliched novel where everything turns out fine. But she's losing hope. Do they really exist?
They are both trying to paint life in the best way possible and maybe, just maybe their paintings will intertwine and blossom in to something perfect.

❝Jab koi salam kare, toh uska jawab dete hain,❞ he said with a voice that sent a shiver down her spine. "Ji," she barely managed to whisper before yanking her hand back and running to the kitchen. ⁕⁕⁕ Pari had always dreamed of a fairy tale love story... But on her wedding night, those dreams shattered: "Don't expect anything from this marriage," her husband said in an emotionless tone. "Yeh sirf meri family ke liye ek formality hai. Bas. Aur kuch nahi.". She stared at him, her lips parting as if to speak, but no words came. A few days later, while cleaning the attic, she found a diary... his diary. A woman's name written over and over again. It didn't take much to piece the truth together... his heart was never hers to begin with. Still, no matter how much his indifference hurt, she couldn't stop herself from falling for him. And just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, life threw her the ultimate twist... At university, she came face to face with her cold, distant husband once again... this time, as his STUDENT. And that was only the beginning...
