"You're the most extraordinary girl, Kaalki. Clear as a musical note and as sincere as a melody. You're the music that's been playing in my head since the day we first met. I won't let anything happen to you."
Kaalki raised an eyebrow. "Did you seriously just quote Luka from Miraculous because I once told you I liked it as a kid? Wow, Taksha. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover it."
Taksha had just moved in with his uncle and aunt, and to his surprise (or was it fate?), the girl he had fought with in childhood was still his neighbor. Their story, which began with a screaming match over a badminton court, was the stuff of neighborhood legend. Now older, wiser (well, somewhat), and hopelessly smitten, Taksha was determined to rewrite their story-preferably as a rom-com rather than a war epic. Kaalki, however, was unimpressed. To her, Taksha was still the same *"JERK"* who stole her favourite pendant. But fate loves a messy script, doesn't it?
Meanwhile, amidst this love-hate tug-of-war, their siblings-Kaalki's sister Kavita and Taksha's brother Akash-were busy making heart eyes at each other during their elder siblings' wedding prep. It was like the universe had taken a break from ruining lives to create a matchmaking comedy.
Now, Taksha and Kaalki had a bigger problem: they needed to play Cupid for their siblings while dodging flying insults, misunderstandings, and their undeniable chemistry. Will they succeed? Will Kaalki ever stop calling him a jerk? And most importantly, will there be cake at this wedding? Stay tuned!
