#1 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. ⚝⋆•.─── 𝐀𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. - ᨳଓ .ˎˊ˗ Mahenoor never expected her life to change because of a marriage. Soft hearted, warm, and full of little quirks, she has a way of bringing life into the little moments around her. Though reserved around people she isn't close to, once she feels comfortable, her playful and cheerful side comes alive. Then she meets Zarar Khan. A man who prefers silence over conversations, control over vulnerability, and distance over letting anyone close enough to see what lies beneath the surface. As the CEO of SoftTech, Zarar has everything people could ask for. Success, power, respect. Except peace. And certainly not love. So when an arranged marriage brings Mahenoor into his carefully controlled world, neither of them knows what to expect. Their marriage begins with two strangers trying to understand each other, with awkward silences, little clashes, unspoken boundaries, and a man who doesn't understand why his wife's presence is slowly becoming a part of his everyday life. But somewhere between quiet conversations, protective gestures, shared moments, and feelings neither of them is ready to name, something begins to change. Mahenoor falls first. But Zarar? He falls harder. Just when she begins to believe that maybe there is something real between them, Zarar's past comes knocking. Some wounds don't disappear, some secrets don't stay buried. And some people are running from a past that refuses to let them go. Because what happens when the woman who is slowly becoming his home discovers the parts of him he has spent years hiding? Can Mahenoor's love reach a heart that has forgotten how to trust? Or will Zarar's past become the one thing standing between them? ୨୧ ────
