Maybe with the arrival of a daughter-in-law, he will improve. They started looking for a match for him. After looking at many girls. Finally he liked a girl. After a few months. They got married. Both of them were happy. After a few days. Remu's wife - Vasuna. Goes to her maternal home. Remu was unaware that a third person had already entered between them. Vasuna had fallen in love with her real uncle's son Siduram. Vasuna and Siduram had started loving each other since childhood. When Vasuna passed the tenth grade examination. The talk of her marriage started in the family. Due to which Siduram once found Vasuna alone, applied sindoor on her maang and ran away from there. Now Vasuna's post-wedding rituals were being completed at her maternal home. As soon as Siduram saw Vasuna, he kept looking at her. His eyes were not moving away from her. He was just looking at her. Remu left his wife at her maternal home and went to his home the very next day. When all the rituals were completed, Vasuna was sitting alone in the room, enhancing her makeup. Then Siduram comes in the room. Vasuna and Siduram look at each other for some time. After that he comes and sits next to Vasuna. Both talk for a long time. After that they both have sex.
