No matter how much he tried to stop himself, Kiran couldn't help but fall in love with her. Kiran has her own business after completing her MBA. Anu is also an engineer. Still, Kiran was afraid to approach her.

He started sending her messages on Facebook a year ago. His phone's entire gallery is full of photos he took without her knowledge. He also got Anu's WhatsApp number from one of her friends, lying that it was for booking her dance program. It was only a few days ago that he started sending her WhatsApp messages.

Anu has never spoken back even once. That is what increased Kiran's love and respect for her. Kiran knows everything about Anu. He also knows Anand. No matter how much he controlled himself, he couldn't control himself when he saw Anu in a Kanchipuram saree on Deepak's wedding day.

He felt that if he didn't come forward, someone else would snatch her away. She looked that much beautiful on that day. Even if he felt unworthy, he felt like he should at least come forward and tell her that he loved her. It's better to try and not succeed than not to try.

That's why he called her from behind that day. But she ran away without even looking back.

Still, Kiran couldn't help but go looking for her that night. He saw Anu's crying face on the TV news and Asok's arrest. Kiran couldn't control himself. He felt that this was the time to repay his debt to that family.

Kiran drove the car through the heavy rain and traffic. When he reached Anu's home, he hesitated a while to enter into the courtyard. He could see Anand and Anu sitting in the door steps. They are still sitting there in the same position, not even entered into the house. Kiran couldn't see her mother. He thought she would be inside the home. Anu was laying on Anand's lap and weeping. Anand was holding her tightly. It is evident that he was also crying without voice. Kiran stood in front of them.

Anand lifted his face and looked into Kiran's eyes. Kiran understood, Anand was looking him with suspicion. Anu was still laying on Anand's lap. By seeing it Kiran felt a fuming sensation of jealousy in his heart. He dodged that thought. They are siblings, intimacy is natural. But Kiran became jealous because of that intimacy. Anu not even gave a glance to him. Kiran wanted to be the most important person in her life. But she always gave importance to her brother.

He wanted to hold her as Anand. But she loves her brother only. She never gave a nod to his love. So, he became jealous to Anand. Kiran scolded his mind for his jealousy. He knew it was not the right time for such thoughts.

He introduced himself to Anand;

" I am Kiran, a well-wisher of your father and your family".

By hearing this, Kiran saw his girl was lifting herself from her brother's lap. She looked at him. He could see the shock in her eyes. She stared at him for few seconds and again snugged her head into Anand's embrace. Kiran really wanted to pull her from Anand and wanted to hold her in his embrace as Anand. But she ignored him. So, she do not want him, she do not like him. That is what Kiran thought. He came to console her, but she ignored him. He smelled her rejection in it. Still, he continued to Anand.

"I am an orphan who lived in St. Xavier's orphanage. Your father was my sponsor. Your parents gave me everything. Though they don't know me, I know them very well. Your parents sponsor so many kids in the orphanage for their lives and education. I was one among them. They may not be aware of my love towards them. I owe a lot to my sponsors. I wanted to repay them. So, I wanted to know everything about my sponsors. I collected the information secretly. This is the time to show my gratitude to your family. Anand, please believe me. I want to help you. This is a chance to me to help your family. Allow me please".
