Divya and Kabir were high school rivals-sworn enemies who competed in everything. Their clashes were legendary, their hatred undeniable. But that was seven years ago. Now, fate throws them together at the most unexpected place-Divya's best friend is marrying Kabir's best friend.
Forced into the same wedding functions, old sparks reignite, but something feels different. The banter is sharper, the stolen glances linger, and the chemistry crackles with an intensity neither can ignore. As the celebrations unfold, one question remains: Can they make it through the wedding without falling for the one person they once despised?
