You will ask
for a match and I
will give you a wildfire.
I don't know
how to love small.

Shazain Sikandar has played cupid all his life. From uniting his two friends back in kindergarten with a bar of chocolate to helping his cousin confess to her best friend (although, it didn't go as planned).

But being a matchmaker has its price; you care too much about others and lose your own self. He becomes aware of this horrible truth when he asks the girl he likes for her hand in marriage but comes to know that she's in love with someone else. Despite his heart in cracks, he let her go with a smile and even attended her wedding to watch the other guy whisk her away from the sidelines.

When he finally decides that he'd stay single forever, a girl who's high on cotton candy crashes into his life without warning (quite literally) and turns it upside down.

Shazain didn't know what he had gotten himself into when he offered to help the slightly deranged girl who's lost in the park back to her friends. Because that girl drags him to the merry go round and makes him realize that those innocent looking ponies are actually the wild rides of the amusement park.

If Rabeel Usman is accompanying you, that is.

Asslam-o-alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, loves!

Shazain's story is finally here!

You guys:

(For those who don't know, he's a character mentioned in my books Pizza Calls and Stranded Bickers)

I'm very excited to write his story because he's got a personality which is a mixture of Fahad and Aayan 🤧
It's gonna be a disaster in other words lol

I had this book in my draft right after I finished Pizza Calls but I couldn't find a suitable plot for him then and also the fact that I was shot with the huge inspiration to write Stranded Bickers 😁 The idea of making Shazain Ifrah's cousin came to me randomly tbh back in Ramadan, when I was working on the first ten chapters of SB and from there I thought; what could I possibly do with this young man? 🤔

As you all know, he's a businessman and there's a lot of stories about them here on wattpad (involving forced marriages and secretaries *cough cough*) and my inner voice said; let's try to twist this stereotype too 👀

(Keep in mind that whenever I mention these things, I'm actually pointing out the fact that whenever I search a certain genre of stories, it's all same kind of stuff that pops up on here. I know there are a lot of talented people who are writing better stories than me with twisted plots but most of them don't even get recognized. So take my words as they are meant to be; jokes.)

And then BAM! I had this wonderful idea of giving him a cute plot (completely outrageous if you ask Shazain himself, because he has a reputation to uphold LMAO) which involved ponies and park rides along with a girl who's gonna face him head on instead of a soft panda who falls for him right after looking at his *uhum* pretty face 😂

Okay, enough rambling. Here's some info that you might need;

Shazain was older than the rest of them; he was 28. While Fahad was 27 and Fania 26. Aayan and Ifrah were both 25 (Though our girl has 6 months on poor Aayan). This story is taking place after both of them in sense of the timeline like; when he was asking Fania to marry him, Aayan and Ifrah were stranded on the island. So, a year after both the stories I guess, and you know what that means?

We'll get some cameos from both couples to see where their lives took them after a year!

I'm awesome, I know 😎

(My brain: Will you please stop embarrassing yourself?
Inner me in a sombre voice: What's done is done)

Anyways, I'll love to see your feedback through comments like always and your support by voting is also appreciated :)

Stay blessed! ❤
