Aarush is a 28-year-old reporter with a problem. His family's planning an arranged marriage for him, but he's already got a crush on a girl in the tech department. But she doesn't even know he exists! So, he needs TIME to woo her, not an arranged marriage. So, what does he do? He pulls the classic Indian-guy-with-strict-parents move: pretend he's gay.
And who's gonna be his fake boyfriend? His frenemy, of course! Meet Nisith, a junior editor with a beef against Aarush's lack of brain and punctuality. Nisith even agrees to help Aarush woo his crush. But when fake dating gets involved, will they stick to the plan? (Spoiler: Hell no.)

MY LADY
"I'm weird, and I have a lot of demands." She tried to provoke him, But Avyaan simply replied, "it's ok I'm here, to take care of those demands." Aarohi's attempts to deter him continued. "I don't want any physical relationship after marriage," she said, hoping he'd lose interest. But Avyaan's response was surprising. "A relationship can work without physical intimacy," he said, leaving Aarohi stunned. "I'm a gold digger," she said, but Avyaan just smiled. "That's okay, I can afford diamonds too. You can be a diamond digger if you want" he said, leaving Aarohi frustrated. "I'm not a virgin. I had a boyfriend in my teenage years, and we were in a live-in relationship," Aarohi lied, expecting Avyaan to back off from the marriage. But Avyaan's response was calm and collected. "Your past doesn't matter to me. Just be loyal to me in the future, and that's all that matters." 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 (The first few chapters might seem boring, but trust me, it'll get interesting later on) ........
