Let's see what our handsome Aman doing....
Thousands of miles away, Aman’s day began precisely at 6:00 a.m. The sunlight hit his apartment in Australia, and he stretched before heading to the kitchen.
Aman greeted as he reviewed some hospital reports while eating sandwich.
Amar (Aman Father )
Good Morning, Aman. Don’t forget the meeting with the new interns today
Aman nodded, calm and composed. Punctual, disciplined, introverted but with a soft spot for family. Breakfast was quiet, efficient, and soon he was on his way to the hospital.
Maya (21) – Energetic, passionate about art, playful with her family, full of dreams.
Aman (29) – Responsible, punctual, introverted, loves his family, lives a structured life.
Both unaware that soon, their worlds would collide in ways neither expected…

The phone rang, connecting two long-time friends who hadn’t spoken in weeks.
Amar (Aman Father )
Hey, Mayank! How’s everything?
Mayank ( Maya Father)
Busy, as always! And I hear your Aman is still working 24 hours a day at the hospital?
Amar (Aman Father )
Haha, you know him… all work, no rest. Speaking of work… I had an idea.
Mayank ( Maya Father)
Uh-oh… I have a bad feeling already.
Amar (Aman Father )
Hear me out. Our kids—Aman and Maya… we should get them married.
Mayank ( Maya Father)
WHAT?! Amar! Are you serious?
Amar (Aman Father )
Dead serious! Think about it… we’ve been friends since childhood. It’s destiny! The kids would be perfect for each other!
Mayank ( Maya Father)
Hmm… perfect match? Aman barely takes breaks, and Maya… well, she’s chasing her dreams in art.
Amar (Aman Father )
Exactly! Opposites attract, right? And trust me, Aman won’t resist her charm.
Mayank ( Maya Father)
Laughs nervously Amar… this is crazy. But fine… for old times’ sake, let’s do it.
Amar (Aman Father )
Excellent! I’ll talk to Aman first. You handle Maya.
Mayank ( Maya Father)
Brace yourself, Aman… the world is about to get interesting.

Little did they know, their “childhood friends’ plan” would turn both kids’ worlds upside down… 😏
Aman’s mother, Krithi, called him in
Krithi (Aman mother )
Aman, your father and Maya’s parents… want you to marry.
Aman
Mom… seriously? Not now. I have work. Patients. Meetings. Life.
Krithi (Aman mother )
But Aman… you’ll be thirty soon. Time is ticking!
Aman
Mom… I’m busy saving lives, not picking brides like toppings on a pizza.
Krithi (Aman mother )
Just talk to her, Aman.
After some convincing and gentle nagging, Aman reluctantly agreed—he would meet “once,” say his piece, and return to his workaholic life.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Maya’s parents dropped the news:
Yasmin (Maya mother)
Maya… you and Aman… your marriage is arranged.
Maya
WHAT?! Mom! Dad! I have college, competitions, my art!
Yasmin (Maya mother)
We know, but it’s decided.
Maya
How can you decide without asking me?
Yasmin (Maya mother)
Maya he is good person, handsome and well settled.
Yasmin (Maya mother)
Listen maya..
The fight started
At last maya says yes but...
Maya
But I… I… can I at least talk to him first?
Yasmin (Maya mother)
Fine. One talk. Then you’ll say okay or no.
Maya
(Maya POV ) Okay… one chat. I’ll make him say NO.😼
