Neeru was performing the Aarti while the others were with her praying in the inbuilt temple. After she completed, she asked Akshat and Guddan to continue but they both denied shaking their head. She passed the aarti to everyone. It was their everyday routine to pray in the early morning which was taught to them by Akshat's parents. The children then went to the other wall where his parents photo frame was placed which he didn't notice before. They took their blessings.
Akshat: Ye sab...?
He asked confused on their act. They were just an owner but the way they were seeking their blessings explained an other story to him.
Bunty: Ye hame Guddan Didi ne sikhaya hai. Bhagwaan ke baad ka darja Maa Baap ka hota hai aur hamare liye Uncle Aunty hi to hamare sab kuchh hai isiliye roz ham inka bhi aashirwaad lete hai. Unhone ham sab bachhon ko ek nayi zindagi di hai to unko har din ek Thankyou bolna to banta hai na.
He was the oldest child amongst them in the Orphanage other than Guddan. He was realising the responsibilities and every other thing as Guddan has trained him for it. She knew that one day every one would leave this Orphanage when they will be independent but she wanted them to atleast carry out some responsibilities until they are here. And one among them was to respect the persons who gave them a new life. If not for them, they wouldn't have been living a life like this. Even though it's not lavish but their basic needs are fulfilled and even their wishes were when they were alive.
Akshat was stunned to hear such words for his parents. Not that he was a spoilt brat, he respected them but he never thought that this Orphanage treats them as their family. Then he realized why his parents were happier spending time here with them and even asked him to but his stubborn self never listened to them. He never accompanied them and was always jealous that his parents loved other children more than their own. And now when he is here he realised the actual reason. He was happy that even after they are no more they are still respected the same way and are being showered with the same amount of love and all the credits for it goes to the girl standing infront of him. He realised why his grandmother liked her in one instant and his parents chose her for him. She indeed had all the qualities for making her a perfect daughter in law as she is capable of handling all the responsibilities. She has filled all the slots which proves her to be the best for his family but what about the ones which are related to him. Can she be trusted by him with his company? Will she able to be carry out the responsibility of being his wife? And the most important will she able to fill the empty slot of love in his life?
Neeru: Chalo, ab sab Dining area me jaa kar naashta kar lo phir padhayi bhi to karni hai.
They left obeying her order and Neeru too left to the kitchen with Guddan to prepare some special food for her son-in-law.
He stood there rooted at his place looking at the retreating figure of Guddan. After she left his sight, he looked at his parents portrait in front of him. Tears welled up in his eyes but he plastered a smile on his face.
He stood there wondering how they took a perfect decision for his family but was questioning them if she was pefect for him or if he actually deserved her.

He waited for the breakfast to be served, not only because he was hungry and the aroma of the delicacies was increasing his hunger but also he was irritated because of the numerous calls he was receiving from his grandmother who was eagerly waiting to welcome her daughter-in-law. He would have left without breakfast but Neeru has clearly threatened him that she will not allow Guddan to leave with him until he has breakfast with them. He then believed that Women are the best blackmailers.
He was served with various dishes for breakfast but what caught his attention was "kheer", his favorite dessert. Soon Neeru and Guddan joined him for the breakfast. He was about to serve for himself but Guddan beat to him and placed a covered plate infront of him with a sheepish smile which he found quite dangerous. Neeru looked at her confused as why she wasn't allowing him to eat the food she prepared.
