Chapter 1: The Assignment

The Shaadi Series - Book 1
Rameen is a fashion design student, talkative and modest, obsessed with vintage embroidery styles. Haris is a calligraphy apprentice at his grandfather's workshop, a man of few words but many ink stains.
They're assigned a university-community project to create a modern bridal piece using traditional art: Rameen's embroidery + Haris's calligraphy.
Their first meetings are awkward. Rameen thinks he's arrogant. Haris thinks she's immature. But slowly, through tiny acts of kindness and shared chai, they begin to click.
