After a week, Abhira and Armaan were getting ready to go back to Udiapur, where their family kept on sending messages asking for them to come home. Finally, the legal notice case was over, but Abhira had decided that she with Armaan would go see what is so important and come back for the criminal case when it was ready to court.

Dhawal was released from the hospital, while the Makwana's were insistance of Natasha coming with them, but Daama nipped that in the bud, stating that Natasha is not married to Dhawal, so she will not be staying at the Makwana House without being married. Dhawal kept on insisting that he just wanted to get married to Natasha. He doesn't care about all the functions. Besides, they already had them last week, when Chiku and Isha got married. The only thing left was the actual wedding. So it was decided that before Abhira and Armaan left town, they would go to the temple and get married. So, the day after Dhawal was released, everyone headed over to the temple so Dhawal and Natasha could get remarried. Abhira was so happy for Natasha. Even with everything that has happened, Dhawal was supporting Natasha. She knew they had their share of problems, but they were slowly seeming to work themselves out. Dhawal's accident seemed to shock the couple in realization of what was important. They were realizing that their small fights didn't matter, what matter was their love had won. Abhira was so glad that she was watching it unfold.

"Armaan, what do you think if I moved here with Natasha.?" asked Abhira

"What do you mean move here? We live in Udiapur. Our family is in Udiapur" responded

"Armaan, your family is in Udiapur. Not mine. The closest thing I have to a family is Papaji, you and Krish. Nobody else. And even if I moved here, I could go back to visit." stated Abhira

"I am glad that you at least thought of me as family. Abhira, we are married. Remember, we canceled the deal. We promised to give our marriage a chance. You're my wife, and you are staying my wife, which you couldn't do if you stay here in Somnath, " said Armaan

"I know. You take everything seriously. I was just thinking. I mean, it's been a year since Rohit came back. And all that stuff with Ruhi. You've been separated from your family for a while. We may live in the Podder house together, but we are still separated from the family. All because of me. I thought maybe, " Abhira explained

"You thought what? That I would leave you. Never. I married you. I may not have thought you as a wife in the beginning, but slowly, that place was taken over by you. And whatever happens, we will deal with it together. Anyway, let's get Natasha and Dhawal married, then we have to go back to Udiapur." Armaan gave Abhira a hug in response.

Armaan called the Poddar house when they were an hour away to let them know that they were close. When they arrived at the Poddar Mansion, they walked inside and saw that the Geonka family was there also. Abhira said Namaste and tried to go upstairs when Manish tried to stop and give her a hug. But she backed away from him and weakly smiled.

"Abhira Beta, it's me. Your P. Nanu." cried Manish

"No. You are Ruhi's P. Nanu. We have no relationship." said Abhira

"No, no. I really am your P. Nanu." said Manish. "It's true, Beta. We are your grandparents. We are your mother's grandparents. Akshara is my Kartik and Naira's daughter. And you are my Asksara's daughter." said Swarna

"My mother was an orphan. So I don't have any grandparents. You are Ruhi's grandparents. Let's keep that way." said Abhira

"Please don't say that. You're my daughter." cried Manish.

"Ruhi, please take care of your grandparents. I am sorry. Yes, my father passed away before I was born, but I have a father. And he's the best father. My father is Madhav Poddar. I don't need another one. Please. I am sorry if I hurt you. But once the rules are laid down, I won't cross them. Ruhi already warned me to stay away from her family. And Mrs. Swarna also warned me to stay away from her daughter Ruhi. And I've done so. I have only interacted with her as her older sister in law. So, as her older sister in law, I will say the same. Stay away from me." said Abhira, who gave a quick glance at the room and ran upstairs to her room.

"What's going on?" Armaan asked to room."And what's the emergency that we had to come back from Somnath this quickly. Papa, you tell me"

"Beta, Mr. Manish went to Missourrie. There, he stayed at the same resort as last time, the one that Abhira ran with her mother. He found out that Abhira's mother is his granddaughter, who had left the family 22 years ago. And that means that Abhira is his great granddaughter. She is Ruhi's sister."

"Abhira's mother is Akshara Sharma -" Armaan was saying

"Akshara Sharma, the daughter of Kartik and Naira Goenka. The granddaughter of Manish and Swarna Goenka. The ex-wife of Abhimanyu Birla. The wife of Abhinav Sharma. The mother of Abhir and Abhira Sharma." answered Manish

"Fine. But if Abhira doesn't want to meet you, I will not force her. She is my wife, and I will protect her even if it's from her own biological family. You can't just barge into her life after ignoring her. She treated your family as her own since she didn't have one. But Ruhi didn't want to share the love as she is used to being the center of everyone's attention, so she asked her to stay away, and that's what she has done. So now you need to respect her decision." stated Armaan

"Beta, she's our daughter. She was lost to us for many years. We finally found her, " cried Swarna

"She's is my wife. She's Akshara's daughter. She is Madhav and Vidya's daughter. And she until she wants to be Manish's and Swarna's granddaughter and only then will she be Manish and Swarna's granddaughter." said Armaan

"You can't keep her away from us." said Swarna

"Yes, I can. If it is Abhira's wish, I will." said Armaan

"Armaan, their my grandparents. You can't talk to them like that. They are also Abhira's grandparents." said Ruhi

"Really! Where was this care when you asked Abhira to stay away from them. And now she has followed your rules, and you want to change them. It doesn't work like that. You have always blamed Abhira or let the blame fall on Abhira when it wasn't her fault. And now, when she's given up on this family, you want her to be part of it. She doesn't want to be part of this family anymore. She was just talking about how she wanted to stay in Somnath. And would only need to visit her Papa and Krish when she was missing them as she had nothing holding her back here. And now, I am thinking of agreeing with her. She would be happier in Somnath with her sister." said Armaan

"I'm her sister, Armaan. She's my sister." yelled, Ruhi

"She accepts Natasha as her sister. She supported you as a sister, but when it was your turn, you taunted her, called her selfish. So no, she doesn't accept you as a sister, only a sister in law. Why do you think she accepts cases that keep her busy that she rarely interacts with the family. And if you remember, when she accepted the case whereas Dadisa was accused, you all turned your back on her. It was during that case that she found out it was Phusfa was the culprit, and he was holding Rohit hostage. If she didn't take the case, Rohit would never have been found. But none of you appreciated her. Yes, I asked her to leave the case because of her accident. I could have lost her. I realized how much I loved her. I didn't want to lose her. But none of you realized that slowly we were distancing ourselves from the family. If she wants to leave this town, I will leave with her." Armaan said, as he also followed Abhira to their room.
