Famed cricketer Aaban Khan is in need of a quick reputation fix after pictures of him dancing in a club with a girl go viral over the internet, followed by titles like womanizer, playboy, and a disgrace-nasty but not entirely false. 

When his trusted publicist suggests he just get married, he shuts down the idea in a flash...until his mother gives him an ultimatum: quit cricket or settle down. With an obvious answer in his mind, he ends up blurting out another lie about already being interested in a girl.

And Manha is here to fill in the role.

*** 

Manha Amin-sweet, sassy, and Aaban's saviour (though he certainly doesn't think that) is caught off-guard when her mother accepts her birthday invitation after three years of turning her down. 

However, Zoelle isn't visiting out of the kindness of her heart, or out of love for her daughter; she has a perfectly devised plan that she dumps on Manha quicker than the girl can blink. Manha, naïvely, finds herself agreeing to get married to her mother's client after she lays out the perfect fairy tale filled with love and all things nice.

Unfortunately for Manha, the fairytale couldn't be farther from the truth.

Maheen and Hasan met when they were kids- young, naïve, and hopeful about the world. Just when their story begins, they're separated by tragedy and pain. But as fate would have it, they were meant to meet again. Years later, now all grown up, they meet again suddenly at work and old feelings resurface. Maheen is an open book. She says what she feels and wears her heart on her sleeve. She's always laughing, the personification of a bright sunny day. In her mind, she's the main character of her own Bollywood movie. She doesn't care what anyone has to say about her. She's already heard the worst. Hasan is her complete opposite. He's always been quiet and shy, and has only become more serious and business-like as the years go on. He may have a hard exterior, but Maheen's re-entry in his life is starting to remind him of who he once was. Maheen never misses an opportunity to make Hasan flustered, with her constant teasing and playful pestering. Hasan- the forever gentlemen- does not give in to her innocent flirting and keeps everything very professional. Or at least he tries very hard to. Between the secret glances over cubicles, and passing jokes after staff meetings, maybe their friendship was once again turning into something more. Will they let their hearts lead them this time, or will they let the world interrupt their story again...This is their last first chance. Spinoff of Al-Ameen Family series (Continues after Naina): 1.
