Trope: Best Friends Forced To Marry
Siara Miller has always been the "quiet one" in the group - the girl who'd rather text than talk, the one who listens more than she speaks.
And Kiaan Williams? He's been her best friend forever, the guy who knows her coffee order, her Netflix favorites, and exactly how to make her laugh without even trying.
Everything was fine... until life decided to pull a filmy twist on them. One moment they were just best friends, and the next - forced into marriage.
Now Siara's stepping into a whole new world, learning to speak up, to take space, and to show a side of herself no one's seen before.
Kiaan's used to the old Siara - quiet, safe, predictable. But this new, bolder Siara? She's turning his world upside down.
And somewhere between late-night chai talks, awkward firsts, and a few unspoken truths, they're left wondering... can "just friends" really turn into something more, or will it mess up everything they've built?

So, when it comes to career choices and love lives, they could not help but intervene in the other's life. Obviously, because they know the other better. Kiarah thinks Myra is rushing into an arranged marriage and the end is not love. Myra thinks Kiarah is just choosing to be C.A. because of the fact her crush Kaif is doing the same thing. A story of... Simple problems. A bit of miscommunication. Hilarious consequences. Leading to some big messes. And definitely several revelations. -- -- Cover Credits: @Krazy_Kiran Check out her stories. They're awesome! You'd love them if you love Bollywood. ______ This is a sequel to How To Not Crack PMT BUT can be read as a stand alone book. I'd love if you check out HTNCP though. Cheers!Complete
