"Cuz if it's easy, it won't be amazing, if it's amazing it won't be easy, if it's worth it, you won't give up, if you give up, you're not worthy..."

For Zubaida the rules have always been simple. Playing it safe when it came to her fragile heart had always been the best and only option. Risking it all and going to heights for love had never been her known forte, not after facing the brutal reality of what the other side of love could be like at least.
Fahad on the other hand, still has some demons of his to fight. Four years ago, he'd lost the one person that meant the world to him and it had been it for him since then. No one could get through the walls he'd built around him eversince.
Life pulls these two towards each other and suddenly love comes crashing down the walls of these two fractured souls, and the thin line between love and friendship couldn't seem more blurry.
Mix this up with the web of jealousy, lies, greed, envy, and hidden secrets that lie around them and it's one hell of a wild emotional rollercoaster full of obstacles, pain, crises and hardships, but amidst it all is a journey of friendship, love, growth, and life changing lessons.
They say the best things in life happen when unexpected, but at the same time, the most beautiful roses are those that come with the sharpest thorns.
How much would you let yourself go through for the sake of the one person that means everything to you, and how far could you go for the sake of love?

🎶"Koi raat ka tara karta ho ujala, waise hi roshan kare woh sheher. Dard mere woh bhula hi gaya, kuch aisa asar hua. Jeena mujhe phir se woh seekha raha. Jaise baarish karde tarr ya marham dard par, koi mujhko yun mila hai jaise banjaare ko ghar.
(Like an illuminating night star, she lights up the city. I forgot my pain, such was her effect. She's teaching me how to live again. Like how rain makes things fertile or how ointment is to a wound, I have found someone like how it is for a nomad to find a home.)"🎶
