Pia's bold and calculated move left Arjun impressed, knowing that she had a strategic approach to their public image. He felt grateful to have her by his side, navigating the complexities of fame with ease. Arjun holds Pia's hand and then says with a tense look, "My family will not accept you as easily as you know my first bride Soha is their favorite. You had to face issues plus some adjustments you had to do, but you have not told us about your family, plus the reason for running away from your marriage properly." Harsh clears his throat and then says with hesitation, interrupting their talk, "Arjun, actually you talk to her about this at your home and in privacy. Now, we are near to your house." Harsh while driving the car seeing the rear view mirror notices Pia's worried expression and decides to change the topic to lighten the mood.
Arjun noticed their eye contact and feels they are hiding something from him. He says, making them divert their attention, "Harsh, I am feeling like my best friend got a good friend of my new wife, it seems."
Harsh laughs and says feeling his possessiveness, "Oh, possessive plus jealousy shop. Stop being so insecure, as you were not so worried for Soha; in just one meeting, you got close to Pia. Well, idiot your wife needs the feel of family support. So, I'm supporting her as a friend plus as a brother too. Now start acting responsible and mature, you superstar."
Arjun nods his head realising his friend's intentions were pure and not malicious. He takes a deep breath letting go of his insecurities and trusting in the bond he shares with both Pia and Harsh.
Pia was worried about how to tell about her reason for running away from her marriage and got easily ready to marry him. She, with fear, unknowingly held Arjun's hand; she was sweating, plus her hands got cold. Arjun senses it and says in his mind, "She is tense and fearful. Is she in danger?"
Arjun was germophobic, but he forgot his fears in that moment and held Pia's hand tightly, offering her reassurance without saying a word. He knew that whatever she was going through, they would face it together as a team. She keeps her head on his chest and cries; he consoles her saying, "Whatever must be your reason, I will support you through thick and thin moments of life." She smiles.
Harsh seeing this from the rear view mirror feels and says with tension to himself in a low voice, "I hope, Arjun, you understand her situation and the reason behind running away from marriage. She needs you very much. I know we don't know her much, but she helped us in a needy situation."
Harsh takes a deep breath hoping that Arjun will be able to provide the support and understanding that she needs during this difficult time. He silently prays for their strength and unity as they navigate through this unexpected challenge together.
Harsh took a turn towards a big entrance of the mansion, as its gate was opened when the car entered.
Pia seeing the mansion gets shocked and says, "Arjun, it's your house." He smiles and pulls her cheeks, "Yes, my dear wifey!" She feels hesitation and asks, "Really, who are you? Wait a second - are you really that famous superstar Hero Arjun Ahuja?"
Arjun nods her head with a smile, and she feels underestimated in his status plus power and wonders how she will fit into his glamorous world.
Harsh stops the car near the grand entrance of the mansion, and Arjun steps out, extending his hand to help Pia out of the car. Pia looks around in awe at the opulence surrounding her, feeling nervousness about what lies ahead in this new chapter of her life. Harsh also comes out and gives the car key to the guard; he says, "Guys, why are you waiting here?" Arjun seeing Pia says, "Don't worry; you'll be fine. Just be yourself, and everything will fall into place."
Pia glances at him with a tense look. They walk forward, Arjun with Pia going a step into the house, but a hard voice came, "Stop there ." Pia freezes, her heart racing as she turns to see who had spoken. A tall, imposing figure stands in front of them, his eyes cold and calculating.
Arjun says with a devilish look, "Dad, she is my wife, and I told you and everyone else that I am not ready to marry Soha, as she does not fit our family. Tell your friend that his daughter ran away from marriage like that." The man's expression softens slightly as he looks at Pia angrily. "I understand, son. But this is not the way to handle it. Who is this girl? You don't know about her family background or status. Now, arguing with me in this way."
Arjun's father Gautam was going to slap Arjun, but Pia holds his hand and then says with anger, "Sorry, Sir, but your son saved your reputation plus your business's reputation too. Talk to him about how he deals with the situation, and this slap deserves that girl whom he had trusted only for your sake. Pia's words seemed to have an impact on Gautam, who lowered his hand and took a deep breath. He then turned to Arjun and said, "Let's have a conversation about how you handled this situation, son."
Arjun says with an annoyed look, "Now, no need. Mom, welcome us, plus complete the ritual of gharparvesh."
Arjun's family, seeing them with shock and confusion, Arjun's mother Seema says, seeing Arjun holding Pia's hand completing the ritual, "Arjun, what a sweet girl you chose. What is her name?"
Arjun says with a smiley face, "Pia. Mom makes her feel at home, but for now we both need rest." Piyush came running and said, "No, bro, a ritual remaining ring in milk needs to be found, then we will get to know about who wins."
Seema says gently hitting his head, "You forgot Arjun has germophobia and is not comfortable with such rituals. Let's skip this one for now and let Arjun and Pia settle in first." Arjun nods his head gratefully, leading Pia inside the house while Seema scolds Piyush for forgetting about Arjun's preferences.
Pia suddenly feels dizziness and Arjun just turns a little to say something but seeing she is going to faint holds her, then says holding her arms, "Pia, what happened?"
Pia faints in his arms. Arjun feels wetness on his hand, and as he sees his hand says with shock, "Blood !" Arjun quickly carries Pia to the nearest couch and calls for help, realising that Pia is bleeding.
