Lucknow Days-1

The next day, after their heartfelt conversation and playful banter, they found themselves back on set, ready to resume shooting.

The next two days' shoots there were mostly intense and emotional ones, filled with emotionally charged scenes that required both Kartik and Sara to channel their deepest feelings. They worked seamlessly together and their chemistry was undoubtedly worth watching.

There were scenes where the exam of Anshu's trust and love would be taken vividly. The more important thing in any kind of relationship is based on trust and that was the main theme of those scenes.

They felt sad for their characters going through these

"Sir ab to suspense se parda giraiye...will it be a sad or happy ending?" Sara asked in one point of conversation where she was sitting with the director and Kartik.

"I think the sad one will be the perfect one" the reply dulled Sara's mood a bit though Luv Sir added, "But there’s a vision with the happy one too"

"Audiences ko sad ending yaad reh jata hain...you know it does a scratch on heart which no one can forget" Kartik said with professionalism.

She just nodded. She was so much into the character that she was literally feeling bad for them.

They were gonna have a day off before the last shoot. As the sun began to set, the 3rd day’s shooting wrapped up.

However, for them, that break offered more than just rest—it was an opportunity to spend time together away from the prying eyes of the set.

"Get ready in next 20 minutes, we are going to Tunday" he messaged her in the evening.

The streets of Lucknow were alive with the vibrancy of evening life, the air filled with the aromas of spices and grilled delicacies.

She was in a light pink outfit and him in white.

As the car pulled up near the bustling eatery, Sara felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her. The last time they had been here, things had been simpler between them. They were undoubtedly in love back then.

He squeezed her hand watching her distress.

"Pata hain Kartik...we let ourselves so real and unfiltered in front of the world that many couldn’t take it"

"Even if we tried, we couldn’t filter that Sara...hum jitna bhi koshis kar le at the end of the day humare gestures...they showed whatever it was" he said looking at the steering.

"Hum itne complicated kiu ban gaye Kartik"

"Pata nahi"

They got out from the car and it was a busy place so they found many admirers of them. The paps were hooting and cheering with "Sartik" as usually.

They made their way inside, finding a small table tucked away in a corner.

“Jara sa bhi nahi badla” Sara said softly, her eyes lingering on Kartik’s face.

Kartik nodded, his gaze steady on her. “Some things never change. Like the way you still get excited about good food.”

She left a half hearted chuckle.

"Tum jyada soch rahi ho...I was thinking that what if we fall apart even this time...but then I thought..we are grown ups and can handle things. Agar yeh second chance se hume pata chalta hain ki we aren't meant to be together then we are at least good friends" he smiled.

She couldn't reply as the waiter came to take the order and the heavy conversation interrupted. The waiter left.

“I missed this place” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
