Arjun goes to sleep on the couch, and Pia lies on the bed to rest for some time.

Some time later, Seema came with Piyush tray of juice and snacks in the room. Seema got shocked seeing them resting in a separate way. Piyush says with a concerned look, "You are seeing them separate, but Chachi, I am seeing them close to each other for care."

Seema questioned him about what he is trying to say. He says, "Arjun bhai doesn't want to disturb Pia bhabhi while sleeping, as she is seriously injured and needs rest. He is sacrificing his own comfort for her well-being." Seema's eyes filled with tears as she realised the depth of their bond and silently thanked Piyush for pointing it out.

Piyush clears his throat and says, "Arjun bhai, get up, and Pia bhabhi, please get up. Here's something tasty for you both to eat." Seema smiled through her tears, touched by the selfless love and care Arjun was showing towards Pia.

Arjun got up rubbing his eyes, and Pia was in deep sleep. He says with an annoyed look, "Don't wake up Pia; let her rest. Maa, why are you crying?" Seema says blessing him, "Take care of my bahu , Arjun. You have a heart of gold."

Arjun smiled back, feeling grateful for the family he had. He says, seeing Pia with a gaze of admiration, "Maa, she suffered a lot. You know she has not even told me about her pain and stood up for me. She was in my life before, but now she is everything to me."

Seema nods her head in understanding, "Yes, she is a true gem. Take care of her, Arjun, and never let her go. Tell her that we are her family and she can feel like her own home." Arjun nods his head with determination, "I won't, Maa. I will always protect her and cherish her life with happiness of love."

Pia woke up from sleep; she noticed herself, and she asked with shock, "Who changed my clothes?" He smiled and did in a teasing way, "I thought you might be more comfortable in something of mine. I hope you don't mind." Pia blushes with embarrassment and says with anger, "How dare you touch me and change my clothes without my permission! This is not acceptable, Arjun."

Arjun laughs and says roaming around bed with a calm smile, "You thought I was so cheap, Maa. Change your clothes, and I will go to the bathroom to get freshened up. Your clothes were dirty due to bleeding, and I feel you should be comfortable. I know your consent is important, but I couldn't bear to see you in those stained clothes. I apologise if I overstepped."

Pia's anger subsided as she realised Arjun's genuine concern for her well-being. She gets up slowly from bed and walks towards him, then says, requesting him to keep his head on his chest with an emotional feeling, "Arjun, I forgot to smile and live life. Can make my life beautiful; I know this is a contract marriage, but I want a friend who will support me through thick and thin. Can we start over as friends first?"

Arjun gently makes her move away and then takes her towards the dressing table. He tells her to see the mirror saying, "We already are friends, and you just make a wish I will fulfil. Okay, today is shooting in the studio for a movie named Kaise Hai Mera Hero!. I will take you there to watch how everything works behind the scenes. You will like Harsh's direction style and how the actors bring the script to life. How he brings out the best in all the actors. It will be a fun experience for you to see the magic of filmmaking up close. So, coming?"

He offers his hand; she holds his hand and then says with calmness, "Okay, but it will not disturb your mood or acting in front of the camera due to me being there?" He smiles reassuringly and replies, "Don't worry; having you there will only make my performance better. Let's go create some movie magic together."

He smiles, and she sees herself in the mirror with a serious look as the mangalsutra, sindoor and engagement ring plus mehendi say sadly, "Arjun , I hope this doesn't change anything between us." He looks at her with love in his eyes and says, "Nothing will ever change between us, as I will never let anything go wrong between us. I promise. If it still happens I will be by your side." She hugs him, and he feels her fear. He says in his mind, "This stranger was last night, but I feel she is my life now and can't bear the thought of losing her."

It was new morning to Pia and Arjun, they find a new start of life together.

Harsh saw Pia with Arjun come to see the shooting; he smiled as he remembered the message sent by Arjun early morning. Arjun made Pia sit on a chair and told his manager to see after her if she needs anything. Harsh tells him to get ready for the shot; an actress with a puffing cigarette comes then and flirts with Arjun saying, "I feel very bad seeing the news as you married an ordinary girl. I always dream of you, but Soha came between and a new turn in the story came, but still we can together."

Pia took the diary from her bag and then tried to write and map something; she had not heard or seen what was happening behind her. Arjun seeing her says making that actress go away, "Diya, I decline your offer as I found what I was searching for. I will never leave Pia ."

The actress looks disappointed and walks away, while Pia continues to focus on her task unaware of the drama unfolding around her. Arjun watches her with a sense of determination and contentment, knowing he has made the right choice.

Harsh teases him, saying, "Oh wow! My friend is in love, but Pia is hard to crack." Arjun chuckles and replies, "She's worth the effort, Harsh. I won't give up that easily." He then turns back to the dressing room for getting ready for the shot.
