What a mess

Two families. An arranged marriage. What could possibly go wrong? A story filled with love, laughter and lots of embarrassment. _________________________________________________ "You can't find someone so pretty, smart, funny, stubborn, mature, childlike, fearless, shy, insecure, emotional, no bullshit; all at the same time." "You're like a broken compass. You are either happy or just fucking annoyed with everything. Either way, you don't know exactly how you feel and what you want." Despite not wanting to get married, when Naira's family insists her to tie the knot, she decides to give Ayan a chance. Cocky, friendly, and extremely attractive, he shares an unlikely trail of secrets that haunt his past and come knocking down his present. Getting kidnapped, temporarily adopting a seven-year-old, attending a marriage, making new friends... Naira does it all. Amid all the chaos, she'll find not only love but also herself. "Your laugh wrinkles your forehead. It touches my foolish heart." "You're like a book I keep on reading but can't remember. Every time I read, I find a new section, a new paragraph, a new sentence." _________________________________________________ The characters are both Indian and reside in Delhi as of now.

"Thank you for accepting this obsessive, weird, complicated, difficult, messy, imperfect, and stubborn person. She has an everlasting love for you too."

...

"Naira," mom speaks on call, causing me to groan once again. "Where are you? Why haven't you reached home yet?"

"Mom, I'm almost there," I breathe impatiently. "I'm just ten minutes late because the school bus was stuck in traffic. Why do you keep calling me?! It's not as if I'm an hour late... It has only been five minutes and you're acting as if you haven't seen me in days!"

This is the third call I've gotten from her in the past twenty minutes, and I can't even cut the call because she is my mother and I have to eventually come back home to her. Besides, hanging up on mom is the equivalent of entering a lion's den... you just don't do it!

"Nevermind, come home quickly," she mutters and hangs up the call.

"I'm trying to!" I grunt to no one in particular once the call ends.
