Arjun Singh and Kiara got married. Everyone had left after sending their sister to her husband's house. Shanti said they could come home anytime whenever they missed her. Kiara was sad as she was away from her brother and realized she would be as she was going to begin a new life. She had responsibilities, to take care of her mother-in-law, husband, and their house. Kiara was sitting in the bedroom when Arjun walked in locking the door. They exchanged looks, a smile, then he came and sat beside her. "Kiara...", he held her hand. "Arjun...", she hugged him tight and cried out. "I don't know how I'm gonna stay away from my bhaiyya". "I know. Don't worry we can meet him and your family whenever you want to. I'll take you home. Please don't cry, Kiara. I love you". He hugged her close to his heart. He could feel the pain as they were his family too. "I love you too", she replied being held inside is arms, feeling so much of love. This is what she had dreamt of and she got the perfect husband. She was one of the lucky women who got what she wanted for life.

Next day Kiara woke up to find herself alone in the bed. She looked around but Arjun was nowhere to be found. Then her eyes saw the clock and she jumped out of the bed in shock as the time was eleven in the morning. "Oh shit! What have I done? Kiara, this is not your house, you should be the first one to wake up. Look what you've done! You're screwed!!", she said while making the bed and ran to the bathroom. Minutes later she was at the table but there was no food. Just then Arjun came in from the other room. 

"Finally, you're awake. Good morning or maybe afternoon?", he raised an eyebrow. She felt bad for ruining the first day of her new life. "Arjun..." "Ah-Ah! You thought you were home, didn't you? We wake up at 6:30 in the morning here and you should too Kiara. From tomorrow, yea. Get used to it and your food is in the kitchen. You must be hungry, go have something. You have to make coffee if you want to have some because there's none left. Are you clear about waking up?" "Yes" "When?" "6:30 am". "Good, breakfast?" "Yes please". "Follow me", he said and went to the kitchen. There Shanti was cooking for lunch. "Ma, she's here". "Arjun are you done with your lecture? Kiara...Arjun is a perfect gentleman. He needs everything on time and expects a proper routine and cleanliness in the house. You should get used to it now". Shanti took two plates and kept some food on them. When she kept it on the dining table, Kiara had no idea why there were two plates. "Arjun didn't have his breakfast. He was waiting for you", said Shanti and walked inside. Kiara looked at Arjun who had just washed his hands. She did the same after him and sat down beside him. "Sorry, Arjun..." "That's okay". When he was about to touch the food she stopped him. "Arjun" "What?" "Um...I wanna give you some first. I always thought of doing this after my wedding. Can I ?" "Yea", he smiled at her. She took some from her plate and fed him. He felt loved just as she did last night. But she didn't expect the next thing to happen. He did the same from his plate. While he fed her a teardrop fell on his hand from her eyes. He wiped it away and held her hand, "I'll always love you". "...and I'll never leave you" said she. Shanti who listened and saw everything became more emotional and thanked God for giving her son the perfect wife. Shanti knew they would live forever.

Everything was happy there in Arjun's house but someone was feeling empty. It was Karan, he was missing his little sister so much as they were never separated from each other. He excepted the reality but still couldn't believe that the girl who ran around in the house had grown up so fast and was married. He was lost in his thoughts thinking about Kiara. That's when his other siblings Dev and Disha joined him. "Bhaiyya" they called in unison. Dev sat with him on the couch and the two knew he was feeling sad. "Karan bhaiyya, you knew this would happen someday right?" asked Dev. "I did but it'll take a while to get used to I guess". "True, I'll definitely feel the same when this little sweetheart will be married", said Dev looking at his little sister Disha. Her face turned pink and she cried. It became uncontrollable. Suddenly Dev got up and hugged her close. She did the same and cried out even more. "Baby...I didn't mean to make you cry. Sorry love", said Dev with tears escaping from his eyes. "I don't wanna leave you and go anywhere bhaiyya". "We'll always be together. Don't worry sweetie", Dev replied but she couldn't stop crying. Karan was missing his sister and now looking at Dev and Disha made him broken. He went and hugged them both for a while. They were his little siblings. He was always there for them. In his mind, he wondered what Kiara must be doing in her new house. He didn't worry because he knew Arjun well that he'd take care of her no matter whatever would happen.

In the afternoon, sometime after lunch, Kiara was cooking dinner along with Shanti as Arjun was in his room writing his story. Kiara was told about not disturbing him while he was working and so she waited for him not knowing when he would be done. Two hours had already passed by, she wanted to be with him but she didn't complain as she loved him and chose him to be her husband.
