As the atmosphere started to settle down Geet started with her tale of how an orphan, a victim of wild attack was taken in by Samuel who then adopted her as his daughter and vowed not to marry for the sake of not sharing his fatherly love for Geet. She then started working with him in the sanctuary after schools to help her now father and was attracted to taking care if the helpless birds that migrated once a year to this location and also the rare birds that were on the brink of extinction. She expressed her gratitude towards Arch for his chivalry and protecting them as she was horrified by the sight of the Caracal in front of her. She then promised that she will remember Arch's selfless deed today and that she will do everything that she can and will lay her life if needed to help him in future. Now all eyes were looking towards Vinay as if asking, what's his story.

Vinay started his story and later stated that he had lost his all but suddenly there was a spark in his eyes as he hopped and stood straight and said "I once lost may family but God has blessed me with such good friends, being eldest amongst us three I will be the big brother to protect you all."

Listening to this Ramos was heart filled and decided to announce his decision to adopt Vinay.

Arch and Geet were amazed and Vinay's eyes started to water and a smile started to form as Arch and Geet held his hands from each side. A beautiful picture formed with the 3of them holding hands and dark orange light of the setting sun fell on their faces, to capture this moment Ramos quickly got his camera and clicked it right away.

"I am happy that you decided to adopt Vinay as our elder, and as long as Arch and you are happy I have no issues with him being a part of our family." said Myra with a smile on her face. "I am getting excited to meet Vinay."
