The story is about a girl named Zara, a servant for a wealthy businessman named Abdul Shamsi, she works at his bungalow in Pakistan. Her family has been serving the Shamsis for a very long time. Meanwhile, Abdul Shamsi has a brother who takes care of the business's branch in London, and Abdul’s brother in London has a son named Rehan who is to be married to Shamsi's youngest, spoiled daughter. Rehan is basically being forced to marry his spoiled cousin. He's a simple boy too afraid to go against his father's wishes and jeopardizing his place in the family business, so he agrees.
Abdul's oldest daughter is getting married to a man in the US but the wedding is to be held in Pakistan at the big family bungalow. Everyone arrives and the happiness and excitement in the bungalow is almost contagious. Zara and Rehan have a mysterious, almost instant connection. Looking beyond their major status differences, they start to have a secret friendship and begin to fall in love.
But something very terrible and wrong happens; Zara's made a huge mistake by sleeping with Rehan, because now she is pregnant with his child. When she is telling this to Rehan, Abdul Shamsi overhears and is clearly furious. He has no choice but to forgive Rehan, because his daughter would be heartbroken if she ever found out and Rehan is the next one who needs to take care of the business, but no one can know what has happened, no one in the house but them. Abdul Shamsi threatens to tell Zara's parents if she doesn't agree to marry and run away that same night. Rehan is too scared to fight for her and backs off. Zara gets married to an old man in a village and pretends that the son is his. When she tells him this he says he had become sterile a long time ago and divorces her. Zara is left homeless and poor, while she is giving birth to a child under a bridge, an imam finds her and takes her to the hospital, Zara befriends the imam and he asks her if she knows how to do anything and he can easily find her work as he has good connections with people, so Zara ends up working at a young boy's boutique. The boy also has his own tragic story, the two of them find comfort and friendship...eventually (this is getting long) Zara becomes a famous fashion designer who has started her own line in bridal wear. Back in London, Rehan has been postponing his wedding until finally Shamsi's daughter becomes fed up and threatens to call off the wedding. Rehan makes it up to her by telling her that this is it. He will marry her and even let her choose the wedding dress (it is custom that the groom's side get the dress) Shamsi's daughter and Rehan return to Pakistan and she takes him to Zara's boutique and chooses a dress.There Zara and Rehan meet again…This is getting long so I'll stop here..tell me how you like it and if i should continue writing the story..thanks!
