Mikandra Bisumar is useless to her father: she carries the curse of infertility that plagues the nobility of Miran. Forced to work in the hospital to pay her duty to her nation, she dreams of becoming a Trader, one of the people who have brought great prosperity to Miran in the past. To her surprise Iztho Andrahar, the city's most prestigious Trader, has agreed to take her on. That is where her problems begin. Her father is so angry with her that she has to leave her home. Secondly, because they import foreign produce and technology, the nation's Traders are no longer held in high regard. Worse, the Andrahar Traders have been served a court summons for smuggling. Iztho has disappeared and the business license suspended, and his aloof brothers were never too keen on training her. In the last meeting Mikandra had with him, Iztho mentioned getting married to a woman from neighbouring city-state of Barresh. His brothers don't seem to know about this and she thinks he has eloped. Going to Barresh by herself without ever having left the country is probably not the smartest idea, but she's desperate for him to come back, prove his innocence and make good his promise to her. A robbery, a job with a local authority and a couple of ex-army friends later, she's made some shocking discoveries about herself, her nation and the nature of her people's fertility and mental problems. In doing so, she is facing the pointy end of the Mirani campaign to rid the country of those who "consort with foreigners". Her actions have brought herself, her family and the last hope for the Andrahar Traders in great danger.

Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well. For it was the only thing she heard growing up. But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old. As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love. Probably because they don't exist, Khushi thought to herself. Only, destiny had believed otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story that has no connection with the original show, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, except for the names of the lead characters.
