A fake marriage.
A secret deal.
Hiba Siddiqui only wants two things in life - freedom and a visa to the UK. Marriage? Just a shortcut to tick off both. Love? Please, she's not that desperate.
Izhan khan likes his life simple - work, gym, sleep, repeat.
Marriage? A responsibility, not a romance.
When family pressure forces him into a rishta, he agrees - on one condition: no expectations, no complications, and definitely no love.
The plan is foolproof:
A temporary marriage.
A picture-perfect couple for the world to see.
Zero emotional involvement.
But when sarcasm meets silence, clumsiness tests patience, and late-night conversations reveal what neither of them signed up for...
Lines blur.
Rules break.
And hearts? Well... they were never part of the contract.
He wasn't supposed to care.
She wasn't supposed to feel.
And hearts were never supposed to break in a deal like this.
_ _ _
"I have a habit of breaking things."
"I've noticed."
"And... I talk too much."
"I'm aware."
"And I'm sarcastic."
"I'll survive."
The only thing harder than faking a love story... is not falling into one.
Falling in love was never part of the deal... but some deals are made to be broken.

SiMi : Amóre
It is a story of two sensible souls. A mindful family. A soulful relationship. A story where male protagonist does get possessive but has the brain to know the limits. A story where female protagonists do get emotional but have the brain to know the differences. A story where they two connect through the most sacred relationship of love. A story where arranged marriage isn't a convenience but a choice. A story of a beautiful friendship developing gradually into a romantic relationship. It is a story where love isn't taken for granted. A story where accountability exists without accusation. A story where family is what they are. It's a bond. A story where love is cherished. A story where care is shown. A story where trust doesn't need words. It's there. A story where respect isn't earned. It's built-in. A story where anger is real but not humiliating. Just human. A story you'll fall in love with. A story you'll receive happy endings in. Because damn it! Do I love the endings after a deep read<3 *Melted* > Friends to Lovers. > Kinda need a break from enemies to lovers and mature parts? Perfect choice. Magic of two closest friends falling in love thru an idea of arranged marriage! A story to raise your standards and love bar!;》 She or He falls in love first dunno:| (My personal comfort: SiMi) But their families do have a hand in pairing them up. Doesn't contain mature content.
