Varun,

A SOQL query will always return a list of sobjects even if a COUNT method is used  If you are assigning a query to a single sobject Apex will execute your query then attempt to assign to this sobject (unfortunately, if there are no elements in the returned query or more than one you will get an exception).

Please mark this as the best answer if this helps

You can store the value in List<Account>
List<Account> accountList = [select Id , (select Id, Name from Contacts) from Account];
To refer contacts you will have to do something like.
accountList[0].Contacts

Do mark it as best answer if it helped.
