By now Sara and Kartik were part of each other's family. They  used to attend each other's family functions together. Kartik's mom wanted to do Satyanarayan puja for well being of the family and it was kartik's mom and dad's anniversary too. They were hosting party after puja for which they had hired an event manager. Event manager was handling everything about the party but kartik's mom wanted family members to look after decorations for the puja. Sara being part of their  family was gonna be there soon to help. Kartik was really excited to meet Sara, he was desperately waiting for her. He woke up, got ready and went outside to look after the preparations. He was helping with decorating stuffs. Kartik's mom asked him to invite some of his friends for puja too and everyone else for the party. He invited some of his co-actors and friends who were not in the industry. He went back to help. He was helping to decorate the place where statue was going to be placed but his whole focus was on the door. She was going to come early to help him  but till now she was not there. "Aur kitna wait karayegi" he thought to himself. Door bell rang, he was covered with flower garlands all over. He tried getting out of those garland traps so that he could open the door and receive Sara. But he was not being able to get out only. "Areyy aram se itna utavla kyu horaha hai" kritika(kartik's sister) said him while going to open the door. "Nahi nahi main kholunga, sara hogi." Kartik said from behind. "Acchaaa toh ye baat hai, isiliye itna utavla horaha tha" she smirked and went to open the door anyway. It was not Sara but Samara, kartik's co-actor. Both kartik and kritika were shocked to see her there but they greeted her warmly. She was invited for the puja too but this early? "Puja hasn't started yet in fact preparations has just started, you reached here too early samara" kartik said with confused look. Samara said that she was there to help with preparations. Kartik's mom also came out expecting Sara but was shocked seeing samara. They had no choice but let samara stay and let her help. Kartik was still trapped between those garlands. Samara started laughing at kartik's situation and went to help him. "Lao main kardeti hu" saying this she started pulling garlands from kartik's neck. Kartik was denying for her help but she was not listening only. Kritika was seeing all this while doing other works and was giving warning to kartik. Kartik had no choice but to stand there as Samara was a good friend of him.
Door was closed but not locked, kritika forgot to lock the door due to samara thing. Someone rang the door but before anyone could go and open the door or even realize, someone came inside, it was Sara. Sara was standing in the door wearing a beautiful pink lehenga. Here, kartik was standing with garlands all over his body and staring at Sara like he's seeing her for the first time. Samara's hands were on kartik's shoulder trying to get him out of those traps. By now Samara was also trapped into those garlands. Sara stood there trying to process what was happening. "Waise hi itna late aaye hai, thoda aur late nahi aasakti thi" he murmured. Sara gave death stare to kartik who was standing there with helpless expression now. Kartik tried getting out as fast as possible but on the other hand, Samara was making it more and more difficult to get out of it. "Kartik jaldi karna kya karr rha hai" kritika shouted. " tu karrle aake" kartik replied back. Sara came towards kartik and Samara and helped them out of the trap while still giving looks to kartik. She helped them out so quickly and smoothly. It was like that was her job only and does it on daily basis. Without saying a word, Sara directly went to greet kritika and mom. Sara was not angry seeing kartik with Samara like that but with the fact that Samara was present there when only family members were invited to help with preparations.
"I trust him but why is Samara here right now especially when he knows she likes him. Since when did she became FAMILY member."Sara murmured while preparing "Aarti ki thaali".
"Woh khud aayi hai, haan puja aur after party ke liya invite kiya tha paar pata nahi abhi kaise agayi. Koki ko bhi nahi pata tha, kisiko nahi pata tha". Kartik's mom replied to Sara.
"A-Aunty I didn't meant that, main woh actually-"Sara replied back with embarrassment.
"Why are you being awkward, aur jo tum soch rahi ho bilkul sahi soch rahi ho. Lekin trust me koki khud shocked hogaya tha. Also tum mujhse koki se related kuch bhi baat karr sakti ho, in fact agar usne kuch kiya na toh mujhe batana I'll show him" kartik's mom said while creasing Sara's hair. Sara hugged her and thanked her being the most amazing person. Sara went back to the hall to see if decorations were finished. Samara was trying her best to go near kartik, laughing at her own jokes and doing cheap stunts. Samara was talking to kartik while kartik was doing his work ignoring her. Sara was watching this from distance and as sara was watching she went where kartik was standing. " Kartik are you done with decorations?" saying this sara went to where kartik was standing and stood between Samara and kartik. "Please be quick I need to talk to you about something. Let me help you." Sara helped kartik to decorate and hugged him before going back to help kartik's mom. Kartik was too stunned to speak anything, but he was enjoying it all. She was just about to leave but she turned around and held kartik's hand with all the right and told him to come with her as she wanted to talk to him. Samara stood there speechless. Sara was dragging kartik to go along with her to help kartik's mom but kartik pulled her to his room and pressed her in between the door and his body after closing the door.
Kartik held her by her waist with one hand and started creasing her face with other while his face was some inches away from her's. "Something is burning no? And it's very hot also, is it your looks or yourself?" kartik smirked and went closer to Sara. "It's your brain, lagta hai pakke jalgaya hai" sara tried getting out of his grip. "Mujhe koi aur jalta hua dikh raha hai" kartik tightened his grip on her bare waist with both hands. "Aankhen check karwalo apni kuch jyada hi dikhne laga hai"she pushed him and tried going out but kartik pulled her back. "Accha ji thodi der phele toh bhaut pyaar jataya jaraha tha aur abhi yese baat karr rahi hai" kartik back hugged her.
"Haan toh bass hogaya, waise bhi tumhare pass pyaar karne walo ki kaami thodi hai, Samara se jake baat karlo na meri baaton se problem horahi hai toh, itni jaldi bulake baat nahi karoge toh bhura lagega usse..."sara pushed him. Sara was teasing him as she knew the truth. "Be quiet ok jaab puri baat pata na ho toh bolte nahi hai" Kartik pulled her by waist and started playing with her hair strands. Suddenly Samara bragged in, both of them got scared with her sudden appearance and kartik left Sara's waist. Sara was not happy to see Samara brag in like that so she was about to leave but kartik pulled her hands and held her my waist. "Kuch kaam tha kya Samara, dara diya tumne hume" kartik asked her. Samara was speechless with what kartik did and so was Sara. "Shayad tumhe pata nahi tha paar puja starts at 11 aur abhi toh 8 hi baje hai, 3 hrs kya karogi? You should go change aur tumhare kapde main phool ki color laggaye hai" kartik indirectly asked Samara to come later. Samara agreed to what she said and left from their as she had no choice left.
Sara pulled kartik's hand off but kartik pulled her back saying, "aab kya kiya maine. See I asked her to leave also." "Thankyou so much Mr.Aaryan I'm greatful for what you did for me" Sara said sarcastically. "But it's of no use, Jo karna tha tum karchuke. Bulake bhejne ka kya matlab. Aur use  jo karna tha woh karr chuki. Abhi ye saab karna is of no use. I'll see you some other day, aur haan aaj baat maat karna mujhse" saying this she turned around smiling and left from there. Kartik stood there thinking bina kuch kiye saaja milrahi hai. Sara was in full mood tease kartik. She was pretending to be angry with him. Sara got busy with preparations while kartik was trying his best to get some attention from sara. He would sometimes pretend to help in the kitchen to be around sara and sometimes help in decorating the statue. He was following sara everywhere. "Kabse piche pada Hu lekin mazal hai jo palat ke ek baar dekhle". Kritika noticed that Sara was acting to get upset with kartik so she kept enjoying too. Sara was sitting on the sofa while kartik came near her sat beside her. Kritika quickly came and sat between them asking kartik to leave. "you're just acting to be upset with kartik no?" she asked to Sara. "Arey how did you know? Haan haan bass maje lerahi hu" both of them giggled. Kartik heard everything and went to his room. "Main yaha mare jaraha tha ye sochke ki sara naraz hogayi hai aur baat nahi karegi, kabse tadap rha hu  aur woh maje lerahi hai. I'll show her what actual fun looks like." he thought to himself and went outside. Sara was standing on a ladder while kritika was holding it.  That bare and snatched waist was enough for kartik to drool all over her. Kartik asked kritika to go inside saying mom was calling her and offered to hold the ladder instead. Kartik was staring at her as if she was some snack.
Kartik tickled sara and made her fall intentionally. He then caught her in his arms like she was some weightless feather. "Jaan bujhke kiya na ye" sara caught her. "Ji nahi hume yese faaltu shauk nahi hai" kartik replied after getting caught. "Jiss tarha pakadke bathe ho laag nahi raha" sara said sarcastically. "Haan toh, aapni wali ko uthrha hu, koi problem hai?" kartik asked putting her down. "Haan! hai na, tum ho problem" sara turned around. "Aab toh jo bhi hai jaisa bhi hai aap ka hi hai. Problem aapki aur solution meri." Kartik hugged her from behind. "Matlab?" sara was really confused. "Matlab ye" saying this he scooped sara in bridal style and took her to his room. "Kya karr rahe ho, sab log hai ghar main aur kaha tha baat maat karna aaj, ye kya karrhe ho, put me down." Sara said to kartik. "Be quiet aab na jyada natak karne ki jaturat nahi hai maine sab sunliya tha, MAJE LE RAHI HU" he copied her. Sara had no words left. Kartik brought her in his room, closed the door and made her stand. "Jo tadpaya hai ma tune mujhe, you have to pay back."saying this he pulled her by waist with both hands and slowly started moving towards her while she was moving back. Sara was sandwiched between kartik and the wall. Kartik started creasing all over her bare waist. She stood there speechless with his action. Sara tried moving his hands with her's but kartik held both of her hands and pressed it behind sara on the wall. Kartik slowly started moving more and more closer to Sara's face. He gave a peck on her lips and said her in a very serious and deep voice, "I'll show what MAJA  AANA looks like". Not letting sara answer back he smashed his lips on her's. He started kissing her like a hungry werewolf. He was devouring each and every inch of Sara's lips. He left her hands and cupped her face. He started kissing her more harder. Slowly he started shifting to her perfectly defined jawline. He was devouring them like some snack. He started kissing Sara's neck, he was sucking them really hard. His hands were moving on those bare waist while his lips were doing things to her neck. "Kartik stop it, not now please, saab log hai bahar" sara tried convincing him but he was not ready to leave her at all. "Aab saab hai toh hai, kya karr sakte hai, you only asked for this" he continued kissing her lips. Although Sara was kissing back she was scared about the fact that kartik's family were outside only. " koki??" Kartik's mom called him while knocking on the door. " Haan aaya" he replied but continued kissing Sara. " kartik jao, mom bularahi hai please, go fast" Sara pushed kartik outside. "This is not done yet" he smirked before leaving.
Sara went outside after couple of minutes. All the preparations were done and puja was about to get started. Samara didn't return back. Puja was finished smoothly and all them started getting ready for the after party.
