Sara and kartik along with other bollywood actors were going to attend an event. Not just actors but also well known producers, directors, were going to attend the event. All of them were going to stay in the same hotel. It was an event of around 3-4 days. Celebrities who were attending the event were supposed to be in the hotel before one day in order to make changes in their room else they would have to take the assigned room only. Sara reached hotel a day before and got her room changed according to her. All other celebrities arrived day before and got settled in their room but kartik was not able to be there a day before due to some personal work and he was fine with any room without making any changes. So he reached the hotel by next day only.
Kartik entered into his room(406), took shower and quickly took a nap as he was really tired. Today's event was going to start at 8:00 pm and he was not performing today, so he didn't have any stress. It has just been 30 mins and he heard some weird noises coming from the bathroom. He woke up and went to see what the sound was only to find out that he left the shower on due to which his bathroom was almost flooded and water has started to enter the room. He called the staffs and told them the problem. He was informed that he couldn't stay in that room and it would take 2-3 days to fix it as water has gone all under the floorings. Kartik asked if any other room was empty but not a single room was empty in the hotel. Varun, Vicky, Ayushmann, Ranveer, etc people were there too with whom he could share room as they were his good friends but all of them were staying with their partners so he couldn't. He was about to book another hotel when Karan Johar came knowing about his problem. He said not to change the hotel as the nearest hotel was 2hours away from the event venue and it would be difficult for him instead share room with someone. "I can't think of anyone with whom I share a room with, sab toh apne wife ya girlfriend ke saath hai" Kartik said searching for hotel through his phone. "Sara ka boyfriend nahi hai" karan smirked. "Not again karan. Don't start. Kitni baar batau we're very good friends now so don't ruin it. Sahi kheta hai varun, rishte todne main lage rhete ho" kartik sighed. "Listen first. In this hotel only Sara's and Kriti's room has two beds and are bigger than other rooms. Kriti is there with kabir already and tum waha waise bhi nahi jaoge so you can go to Sara's room also you only said no everyone else is here with their partner so. Why do you have any problem? You guys are friends, GOOD FRIENDS, there shouldn't be any problem right" Karan tried convincing kartik and he was ready to share room with Sara but he didn't know if Sara was ok with it. Karan assured him saying that he had already talked with Sara before coming to kartik. Kartik took his suitcase and knocked to room just next his door, 407, Sara's room.
Sara opened the door. " I was waiting for you only, itna time kyu laggaya aane main" sara said pointing kartik and karan to come inside. "Apke aaryan ji akward horahe the" karan teasingly replied to Sara. Sara and Kartik gave death stare to karan. Karan always tries to find a way to tease them even after they had said that they are just good friends now. "Koi shower on karke sota hai kyaa" sara laughed and teased kartik to divert the topic. "Hahaha not funny. Intentionally nahi kiya tha." kartik said in annoyed voice. "Intentionally, unintentionally, jaise bhi kiya ho" sara was laughing continuously. " Kuch jyada hasi nhi aarhi" kartik again said in irritated voice. "Please don't start again. Tum dono phir se jhagda karne matt lag jana, janta hu PYAAR wale jhagde hai lekin I'm out. Byee GOOD FRIENDS" Karan left saying this. Less than 2 hours were left for the event. Sara went to ananya's room to get ready as they were being styled by same stylist. Non of their friends would leave a single chance to tease them.So Sara had to face teasings the whole time while getting ready. "Bass aab toh chup hoja ananya. Kitni baar bolu we are just good friends now." Sara said in a very serious voice. "Good friends haan? Remember? 2019, Lucknow, pati patni aur woh shooting, tab bhi tum log yehi bolte the aur bolte bolte alag hotel main chalegaye. See I've seen you guys drool into each other so your warning is not going to stop me" ananya said with a smirk. Kartik was getting ready in their room only. He was all ready and was about to go, he stepped outside and turned around to close the door when Sara also came out from ananya's room. She was wearing a beautiful silver dress with a long bow at back of her dress. Kartik was wearing a black suit and pant with white shirt and matching bow. Both of them looked at each other and they got lost into each other's eyes. Kartik was scanning Sara from head to toe with his eyes and without realizing while Sara was standing like a statue with her gaze fixed on his eyes. "mesmerizing"kartik whispered in a very low voice but ananya heard it. "ahmmmmm all good?" ananya said teasingly. Both of their thoughts was broken hearing ananya's voice. "Agar hogaya ho toh chale. or are you guys coming together" ananya nudged Sara. Sara gave death stare and left indicating ananya to come along. "mujhe bhi lagti hai MESMERIZING" ananya said with a smirk while passing through kartik. Kartik was blushing really hard but he was also thinking what happened to him that he was so lost in her forgetting rest of the world. Varun joined kartik and both of them left for the event.
Aditya, Ananya, Sara, Varun & Kartik were sitting together. Ananya was busy with Aditya while Sara Varun and kartik were sitting still. "Tu idhar aja I'll sit there, mera jhagda hua hai sara ke saath" Varun said to kartik and they exchanged their seat.
K: "Jhagda kyu hua" kartik asked to Sara.
S: " kisse" she was very confused.
K: " Kya kisse. Kis kis ke saath hua hai. Varun se"
S: "Kya borahe ho kartik, kisi se koi jhagda nahi hua
hai mera"
Kartik looked at Varun and Varun smirked looking at him. Kartik understood why he did so but quietly sat next to Sara. Kartik was in fact happy with whatever happened and was smiling throughout. Sara and kartik were lost in their own world. They were talking and smiling as if they were not in between some event but in a private cafe. They got attentive with what was happening on the stage once Varun nudged kartik. After sometime, Host came towards Sara and started complimenting her, "Kya lag rahi hai nahi, bilkul apSARA". "Toh apSara ji ek game khelte hai. You have to either choose truth or dare or dance with me. Options aapko phele hi bataya jayega. So, What is your relationship status, Audiences main se kisike saath bhi ek date ya phir dance with me". the host asked Sara. "Dance with you" Sara answered.
shayad kabhi na keh saku main tumko...song started playing and both of them were dancing together. Although the host was following the script everyone knew that the he had huge crush on Sara and he was giggling and smiling while dancing with her. Host twirled Sara and was about to dance further but suddenly kartik got up and pulled Sara's hand and made her sit saying "khena bhi matt. Hogaya bass" he made it sound funny but kartik didn't like Sara dancing with the host or should I say someone who had crush on Sara. Everyone took his reaction as fun and games but not Varun. He was nudging & teasing kartik and was constantly asking what got into him. "Kuch jalraha hai nahi, kahi woh tum to nahi. Woh bass script follow karr rha tha par tum toh jalbundh ke raak hogaye" Varun said to kartik. "Lag nahi rha tha script follow karr-" kartik didn't complete his sentence realizing what he was about to say. "Kitna bhi chupalo dil ki baat nikal hi jata hai" Varun whispered to kartik. The event was over so all them came back to the hotel. Kartik and Sara were on the same car with varun. On the way also, kartik was constantly stealing glances of Sara as she was sitting in front seat. Varun was quietly noticing everything and smiling seeing kartik act like a teenage boy falling in love for the first time. They reached at the hotel. Varun quickly stood up and got out from the car and said " I hate being kabab main haddi, pata nahi hamesha tum dono ke beech ka haddi, Cupid mujhe kyu banna padhta hai" before closing the door. Kartik and Sara looked at each other with awkward smile and they too got out from the car and headed towards their room. Kartik was holding Sara's dress's trail the whole time.
It was almost 2 am. Kartik got freshen up and was sitting on the couch while sara was brushing her hair and doing her skincare. Kartik was constantly looking at her through the mirror as she was standing in front of it and sara could feel a gaze on her.
S: "Aise kyu dekh rahe ho" sara said while flipping her hair and turning towards kartik.
K: "Nahi toh, I was looking at myself not you" kartik said nervously.
S: "Bilkul nahi badle na. Self-obsessed" sara said while sitting on the same couch.
K: "Aur bhi bhaut kuch hai jo bilkul nahi badla." kartik said while looking straight into her eyes.
Sara sat there without saying anything and diverted the topic by scrolling through reels.
Sara was busy with her phone, she was laughing and giggling seeing funny reels, memes while kartik was adoring her. Sara again felt a gaze on her.
S: "Phir se dekh rahe ho. Aab matt bolna nahi dekhrha tha."
K: "Maine kuch kaha hi nahi."
S: "toh tum dekh rahe the. Kyu pyaar vyaar hogaya kya jo nazren nahi hatt rahi hai" sara said with a smirk trying her best to not make the conversation awkward.
K: "Pyaar? Tujhse? Never." kartik said with a laugh.
Sara was taken back with the word NEVER, and it was not funny for her anymore.
S: "NEVER? ho toh gaya tha" sara said with a straight face.
K: "Woh toh dimag kharab hogaya tha na mera isilyea" kartik said trying to hide his feelings.
Sara was getting hurt with whatever he was saying
S: "Such a coincidence no? Dono ka dimag saath main kharab hogaya tha. Aur mera toh kuch jyada hi kharab hogaya tha waise bhi kisi ko acche se janti nahi thi na tab, isiliye galti kardi" saying this she tried getting up from the couch.
K: "Toh main galti tha?" kartik pulled sara towards him due to which Sara was now laying above kartik.
S: "Kya karr rahe ho" she tried getting up but kartik tighten his grip.
K: "I'm asking you something, I was a mistake?" he asked her in a grumpy tone.
S: "Tumhe Kya farak padhta hai main kuch bhi bolu, you also said no, dimag kharab hogaya tha and all. Maine kuch pucha"
K: "Toh puch na, waise bhi it was a joke."
S: "I was joking too" she again tried to stand up.
K: "It was not funny at all Sara , And I would never say being with you was a mistake not even as a joke"
Kartik was really hurt with whatever Sara said to him. He left her and stood up and directly went to his bed. Although kartik started it but later sara realized she said too much. She went towards kartik and tried convincing him but of course kartik was not ready to listen to her at all. "Listen! you only started it first par phir bhi main sorry bolrahi hu na. I'm sorry kartik please listen to me at least." Sara sat on the edge of the bed and kept her hands on his shoulder. "You shouldn't be talking to a MISTAKE" saying this kartik nudged off her hands. "Manti hu jyada boldiya and I'm saying sorry for that, please maan ja" she kept trying to convince him but he was not listening to her at all. Sara crawled near him and said sorry. Sara's head was placed on kartik's shoulder. Kartik looked at Sara, his eyes were teary. Sara noticed it and back hugged him"I'm really sorry I didn't mean it. You said dimag kharab hogaya tha and all isiliyea maine gusse main boldiya. I'm sorry." Sara said in a very low voice. Kartik turned around facing Sara and hugged her back. "Pata nahi maine yese kyu kaha because I clearly didn't mean it too. I'm sorry" kartik tried calming her down as she was crying but Sara didn't reply back so kartik broke the hug to see why she was not answering but she was asleep. Kartik wiped her tears, placed her in the bed comfortably and was about to go and sleep in another bed but Sara pulled him back. "I'm sorry" she was murmuring to herself holding kartik's hand. Kartik slept there only placing his heads on the walls as he didn't want to disturb her sleep or wake her up.

Hope you liked the chapter.
