Quantum Entanglement

Derek first met Aliyah when he was a ten year old boy. He was intrigued by the four year old the moment his aunt took him to introduce themselves to the newly shifted neighbours. They became fast friends and were joint to the hip until the day Aliyah's family had to go back to their hometown.

After fifteen years, they collided again during work. Derek has now become a well-known singer whose journey started young and Aliyah was an aspiring marine biologist who had her own demons to fight. On meeting again, the sparks fly again and old demons resurface, with the new ones to fight. With being cornered from all fronts by the past, present and the future, they have to fight harder than ever to be with each other. Their story is just like any other where 'soulmates' meet and live a happily ever after but only if they are strong enough to confront their pasts and learn to fight their demons to be with each other.

DEREK:

Derek first met the fiery girl when she was merely four. Even at such a young age she had captured his heart and held it ever since. Mine. The words were something young Derek's mind couldn't decipher entirely, he just knew he had to know her, be her friend and protect her. Until, one day, he couldn't. He failed to protect her when it mattered the most. Then her family went back to her hometown and his parents called him back to his homeland. He started his journey as a musician when he was a mere twelve year old boy. He had to forgo his childhood for his future. After the dreadful day that still gives him nightmares, he decided to become a musician for redeeming his childhood friend. Music was supposed to be his path to redemption. He wanted to help Aliyah and others like her the only way he knew. Then, music became his passion and life. After fifteen years, when he's now sitting on the top of the music industry and has everything the world ahs to offer, he still feels a hole left in his heart. A hole only she can fill. If she is still there to fill it and if he'll ever find her again. While on tour, he saw her again. On seeing her in the front row of his show, enjoying the time of her life, Derek felt all those emotions again that he felt on first meeting her. MINE. To protect, to keep, to ruin. This time, he was not planning to let her go.

ALIYAH:

Saying that I come from a dysfunctional family will be a white lie. My parents love me and will die for me no doubt, but their way of showing that love is suffocating. My mom is as controlling as Hitler and were the cause of my depression throughout my early childhood and teenage. My dad was simply a tool. He didn't care about anything but himself. To top it all of, we always struggled financially as well. My only escape was college. I wanted to be a marine biologist because the oceans and seas always called to me. I was always intrigued by the disgusting, weird and mysterious animals and places, therefore, I decided to choose marine biology as my career. I worked hard to get into my dream university and will work herder to get what I want until the world recognizes me as Dr. Aliyah Mehra- the marine biologist who brought humanity closer to the seas. I always had a tough childhood, but there was still a huge piece of it missing from my memory. I don't know what or who it was but it was huge enough to remain in my subconscious and give me nightmares night after night. During my first year of college, my friends gifted me a concert ticket to Derek's show. THE Derek. A first row ticket no less. Who knew my life would never be the same after that.

None of them were ready to be in a relationship, for some reason or the other, but as people say,

"If it is meant to be, it will be. By hook or by crook." Derek and Aliyah belong to completely different worlds yet fit each other like they were always meant to be. The threads of their destinies are expanding in two completely different galaxies, yet meshed together in a quantum entanglement.
