Mr. Malhotra is my husband

I will cherish her all my life

Recap: Arjun informed Yuvin about the tragedy Agnes encountered in her childhood. He explained how he failed to protect his daughter.

In Agnes home,

Tears streamed down Arjun’s face as he broke down. “I couldn’t be a good father.”

Yuvin moved closer, placing a comforting hand on Arjun’s shoulder.

“You’re wrong, Uncle. You did everything you could. Agnes is strong because of you.  You are a great father, uncle.

Trust me, I’ll make sure she heals.”

Yuvin’s words carried the weight of a vow—a promise to protect Agnes, no matter the cost.

On the other side,

The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the cozy dining area.

Agnes’s mother, Shrey, had been bustling about the kitchen, ensuring everything was perfect for the small but significant family lunch.

For the first time, their new son-in-law, Yuvin Malhotra, was going to taste her food.

In the Arjun room,

Despite the celebratory air, there was an unspoken tension lingering, as though both was waiting for the right moment to speak their hearts.

The silence carried thousands of emotions in the room.

Agnes entered the room, her face carrying a trace of tension.

Yuvin, standing near the table, noticed immediately. Both their eyes met, and Arjun instinctively wiped away the tears threatening to expose his vulnerability.

"Food is ready," Agnes announced warmly, beckoning them to the table. 

Yuvin nodded but turned to Agnes. “I want to change my dress,” he said, his tone gentle yet purposeful. 

Arjun, Agnes’s father, gestured toward Agnes.

“Take him to your room,” he suggested, his voice calm but carrying the guilt. 

Once Agnes locked their room, Yuvin turned to Agnes.

His emotions, suppressed at the room, came rushing to the surface. Without hesitation, he pulled her into a firm embrace, holding her as though she were his anchor in a storm. 

“What are you doing?” Agnes asked softly, her voice tinged with curiosity and affection. 

Instead of replying, Yuvin leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. The gesture was tender, almost reverent, as if he were sealing a silent promise. 

" I will protect you ", he assured in his heart.

Agnes’s heart skipped a beat, but curiosity got the better of her.

“What were you speaking with dad about?” she asked, referring to the earlier conversation between Yuvin and her father. 

Yuvin smirked mischievously. “Why? It’s a secret between father-in-law and son-in-law,” he teased, his tone light but evasive. 

" Did you said about Anish or Aishu? ", Agnes asked.

" I will not trouble him. We discussed the general things about the new office. There is nothing to worry about. I will not hurt your father ", Yuvin assured her.

Agnes moved closer, narrowing the gap between them. Her eyes searched his eyes, filled with love and determination.

“I love you,” she said simply, her voice unwavering.
