Hellooooooo Kaleshies🥰🥰🥰
This story follows a girl who is sweet, messy, a little childish, and tied—by tradition—to her older cousin. Their bond isn’t born from choice but from a marriage arranged in childhood, a decision made long before she could understand its weight.
And before anyone jumps to conclusions: this is fiction.
I’m from Kashmir, and in some conservative families here, childhood nikah still happens—not out of cruelty, but because parents believe their daughters will be safer and protected in a harsh world if they’re tied to someone they trust. I’m writing this story based on what I’ve seen, heard, and observed around me.
This is a fictional narrative, created for storytelling purposes only.
Please don’t report—read it with an open mind and understand the cultural context behind it.
Author
Alright my kaleshies, gather around—
I haven’t started the story yet, but I already need your support like a student needs last-minute notes before exams.
So before Chapter 1 even breathes, do your duties: **follow, vote, comment, save, send gifts, send prayers, send chai—anything works**.
And please, don’t disappear like toxic exes. If I post and you don’t react, I’ll assume you’re ghosting me and cry in a corner like a dramatic TV serial heroine.
So stay loud, stay chaotic, stay “kaleshi” and hype me up.
Because trust me, the more you scream in comments, the faster I write.❤❤
Author
Also, one more thing, my kaleshies—
If you catch any typo, plot hole, or random nonsense in the story… just pretend you didn’t. Close your eyes. Breathe. Move on like a queen.
Because even I don’t know what my brain is doing half the time.
And if a character behaves stupidly, please don’t ask me “why did he do that?”
I don’t control them—these characters wake up, choose chaos, and drag me along.
So buckle up, grab popcorn, and enter this story with zero expectations and full kaleshi spirit.🤗
Author
Okay my kaleshies, one more thing before you dive in—
If at any point this story makes you scream, cry, or throw your phone… please aim it away from innocent objects. Your phone did nothing wrong. The characters did.
If you start imagining scenes in your head and smiling like a psycho in public—
congratulations, you’re officially part of this fandom now.
If you catch yourself falling for the male lead… stand in line.
If you catch yourself wanting to slap the villain… stand in another line.
And if you catch yourself wanting to slap ME… please control your emotions, I’m delicate.
Also, if you binge-read this at 3AM and blame me for your dark circles, I’ll simply say:
**beauty fades but good stories stay forever.**
Now go, read, laugh, cry, overthink, repeat.
This story is a rollercoaster designed by a sleep-deprived author with unlimited kaleshi energy.😁

And keep me in your prayers 🥰

Let's add a qoute at end now, so it goes like this:
“Some bonds are tied long before the heart understands them.
It takes time, courage, and growing up to learn whether it was fate…
or just a tradition that chose for them.”
Chapter 1
📍Kashmir — The Khan Mansion, Early Morning.
Footsteps.
Fast. Desperate. Light but frantic.
A girl was running.
Her breath came out in small clouds in the cold morning air, her school bag swinging behind her like it was trying to escape her grip.
Loose strands of hair slapped her face as she sprinted across the hall, eyes wide, expression sharp—almost scared.
For a moment, it looked like she was running away from something.
Then—
Noor Zubair Khan (FL)
Ayaan! Wait! My shoe is missing AGAIN!
Ayaan Rehaan Khan (ML Younger Brother)
How is that my problem? I’m already late for college!
Noor Zubair Khan (FL)
And I’m late for school! We two will suffer together.
Hiba Rehaan Khan (ML Younger Sister)
We three (coming down by running through stairs)
All three of them running around the massive hall like crackheads. Shoes flying, bags dropping, servants staring like it’s a daily circus.
Ayaan Rehaan Khan (ML Younger Brother)
Noor, move! You’re blocking the door!
Noor Zubair Khan (FL)
No! You move! This is my house too!
Hiba Rehaan Khan (ML Younger Sister)
Bhai move na! We are getting late.
Ayaan Rehaan Khan (ML Younger Brother)
Bas drama karwalo tum donu se kaam toh kuch tum donu karte nhi ho.

Ruqaiya Begum Khan (ML and FL Gradma)

Sorry, Dadi…(tries to fix hair and ends up making it worse).
Ruqaiya Begum Khan (ML and FL Gradma)
