Pratha is seen standing in a bus stop. She has been trying to call someone for the past 5 minutes but the other person is not picking it up. Pratha curses that person in irritation. "Where did this idiot go? Why the hell is he not taking my call? Arghhh!" - Pratha curses and stamps her foot.

Just then, a car stops in front of her. She looks at the car with an angry face not knowing who that is. The passenger seat mirror rolls down and Karan looks her through it. Then, Pratha clearly sees the car and notices it is Karan's car.

Pratha looks back at Karan who greets her. "Good morning, Pratha. Why are you waiting here?" - Karan asked her. "Good morning, sir. Waiting for an auto, sir. Heading to a wedding function." - Pratha said. Then, Karan admires her in that dark green Anarkali and a pair of bangles in both her hand and matching jhumkas.

"Get in. I'll drop you at your destination." - Karan offered her. "No, no sir. Why to burden you? You must have some work na." - Pratha tried to decline him. "I insist, Pratha. I was just heading back to the house from the temple. So, basically I'm free because it's Sunday." - Karan insisted to her.

Pratha smiles at him and tries to decline his offer but he insists on her. So, she reluctantly gets in the car. She buckles herself and finds Karan looking at her without blinking. Pratha blushes and brings her hand to his shoulders but stops. She hesitates but was about to shake him but a horn from the back brings him to the world.

He looks at her hand and then at her. She immediately takes her hands back and sits straight. Karan smiles and starts to drive. "So, where are you going?" - Karan asked her. "Vaikom Hall, sir at the mall junction." - Pratha tells him the address and he nods at her driving to the destination.

"So, whose wedding is this?" - Karan asked her. Pratha looks at him for a second and thinks for something. "My.. My friend, sir. An old friend, perhaps." - Pratha said. Karan finds it weird as she stutters a bit. He just nods and smiles at her.

Then, Pratha receives a call. She cuts it looking at the caller ID. Karan notices it. She again receives a call and Pratha again cuts it. "You can talk. I won't mind if that's why you didn't attend the call." - Karan said. "No, sir. It's not an important call." - Pratha said and she received a message from the same number.

'I'm so sorry for not taking the call, Guddu. I'm already here and watching out for people. Come fast.' - the message. Pratha sent a thumbs up to the message and kept the phone inside her bag. After some minutes, they reached the hall. Pratha gets down the car and looks at Karan from the mirror.

"Thank you so much, sir." - Pratha said. "That's okay!" - Karan smiles at her. Then, Pratha checks his outfit and something popped in her mind. "Sir, why don't you come in with me?" - Pratha asked me out of the blue. Karan was surprised. "Me? Inside? With you?" - Karan asked her.

Pratha nods her head saying - "Yes sir. Only if you are free." - Pratha said. "I'm always free for you, Pratha." - Karan thinks in his mind while staring at her lovingly. Not getting any response, Pratha snaps her fingers in front of him and he looks at her consciously.

"Uhmm, okay. I'll come in with you." - Karan said. He parks the car and comes to Pratha who was waiting outside the hall looking at her phone constantly. "Chale?" - Karan asked her who just came after parking the car. Pratha nods at him and they went in.

Pratha looks around searching for someone. Karan notices it. "You are searching for someone?" - Karan asked. Pratha looks at him. "Woh.. woh my friend.. my friend sir. The bride." - Pratha said. Karan again finds it weird as she stutters again. "The bride either will be on the aisle or in the room getting ready." - Karan said.

"Yes, sir. I'll just go and catch up with her for a while. You sit here. I'll join you in a bit." - Pratha said and left from there. Karan sits somewhere in the center of the hall. Pratha comes to a corner of the hall. She was walking in the hallway calling someone but someone pulled her to a side behind a pillar.

That person shuts her mouth to prevent her from shouting. Pratha wriggles in his arms but calms down looking at the person. "Guddu, it's me. Don't shout." - the man said looking here and there. She muffles as his palm were covering her mouth. He notices it and takes his palm off her mouth.

"Ajju, don't do this hereafter. Or else, I'll do something that you'll be not able to have children in the future." - Pratha warns him and that person made a scared face. "Oye! Don't do that. Then, I can't get marry at all!" - That person said. Pratha just rolls her eyes.

"Tell me, why did you brought that Karan here?" - that man asked her. "Just a part of plan. Some moves to make him fall in love with me. Because the sooner I can get into his house as his girlfriend, the soon we can achieve our aim." - Pratha said. That man nods his head understanding her plan.

"Okay, so I saw him coming here and talking to the groom's father. Then, after few minutes he left from here. I couldn't clear hear their talk but what I heard was Durga Maa Temple, October 14. The groom's father was tensed hearing it but nods his head at him." - That man told Pratha.

This made Pratha to think deeply. "So, I think they are planning to attack on October 14 at Durga Maa Temple!" - Pratha said and that man nods at her. "We should inform this to the headquarters and prepare for the attack." - That man said and Pratha nods at him. "I'll inform the headquarters." - Pratha said.

"Okay and try to get into their house as soon as possible. The closer we are to them, the more we can know about and prepare for it." - That man said and Pratha nods at him. "Okay, Ajju. I'll leave now to Karan. I don't want him to get any doubt. Anything call me aftwr I go from here." - Pratha tells the man.

"Okay, Guddu. Keep updating me of the progress with Kundrra." - That man said and Pratha nods at him before leaving from there. She comes back to the hall and looks around for Karan. He raises his hand to let her know that he is there. She smiles at him and walks towards him. Karan keeps staring at her as she walks towards him with a smiles adoring her face.
