As soon as Dhawal was released from jail, he went to Makwana Mansion. He noticed that Natasha was there, but it looked like she was leaving as she had her suitcase with her. Everyone was happy to see him, but Dhawal was not.
Dhawal walked in, ignoring everyone "Here you go. I don't want anything from this home nor the people of this house. I am dead for you all! I will do my last rites for you all, and then we will have no relationships!" yelled Dhawal started the splash water on himself as he was starting the last rites.
Natasha rushed to stop him. She grabbed the container with the water, and threw it away.
"Stop it! Stop it!" she cried, shaking him. "Do you know even know what you are saying. Do you know how hard it is, when you're whole family is dead! Don't you dare"
"Stop it Natasha" yelled Dhawal
"Never! Dhawal, I know how it feels to lose everything at once. Not once but many times. Just listen to me, and if you still want to leave, I promise, I won't stop you. I will even leave with you."
"Promise, if i listen, you will let me leave." said Dhawal
"Yes, but I won't let you leave alone. I will leave with you. But you have to promise to listen." said Natasha
"Fine" said Dhawal, while everyone stayed back.
Natasha grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the sofa, and sat him down. She sat in front of him on the floor, with her head in his lap.
"Dhawal, I am not trying to minimize your hurt, but this is a family. And a family always forgives. Let me tell you my family's history. You see, my family has always says, "We are Pandya's, we forgive even our biggest enemies." My grandfather, built Pandya Store, but he had died when his children were young. Bade Papa, had to leave school to support Daama and the family. Papa was good at school, so he had continued school, but Shiva Chachu, didn't care for it, so he left school when he was able to help Bade Papa with Pandya Store. Papa and Krish Chachu went to college. Bade Papa had married Dhara Ma, when Papa was small. Even their wedding had issues, as Bade Papa was supposed to marry someone, but she left the mandap, so Dhara Ma stepped in. She helped Daama raise Papa, Shiva Chachu and Krish Chachu." She looked up at Dhawal, then continued on.
"Then, Papa, Shiva Chachu" and Krish Chachu got older. Papa was supposed to marry Raavi Chachi, but at the mandap, Ma arrived, leaving her family. You see, Ma came from a rich family, she was Janaradhan Dwivedi's eldest daughter. Raavi Chachi tried to commit suicide at the humilation, but Shiva Chachu saved her. So Dhara Ma decided that Ma would marry Papa, and Raavi Chachi married Shiva Chachu. Everyone had a hard time adjusting, but they made it work. They had good times and bad. My nanaji, tried separating Mama and Papa from Daama and our family. He tried stealing Pandya Store. They issues with each other, trust issues etc. but in the end they always made it back to each other. You see, you had questioned my character. Shiva Chachu also questioned Raavi Chachi's character due jealousy. They even got divoreced, but shortly after the divorce they were married again."
"Then why won't you forgive me and marry me again" Dhawal questioned, surprising the family.
"Dhawal, forgiveness is not the problem. I forgave you. It's forgetting that's the issue. Most days I have forgotten, and I am with you. And I see my Dhawal, then it creeps up, and I remember you questioning my character." said Natasha
"Let me continue. After alot of ups and downs, Dhara Ma met Shweta Ma, who was pregnant. Dhara Ma could not have children, so they were going to adopt Shweta Ma's child. She wasn't married, and her boyfriend cheated her. Ma was also pregnant with me, so everyone was excited for 2 babies coming into our home. After letting Dhara Ma adopt him, Shweta Ma married Krish Chachu. She tried stealing Pandya Store too, but couldn't so she tried taking Chiku, but wasn't able to. But she was able to take me. I was 2 months old when I was kidnapped by Shweta Ma. Our family broke. Mama blamed Krish Chacha, because he saved Chiku and not me. Mama and Papa left Pandya Niwas and went to Ahmedbad. Shiva Chachu and Raavi Chachi left and went to Udiapur. Krish Chachu had been kicked out. He went to Mumbai and then Canada. Bade Papa, Dhara Ma, and Chiku lived with Daama in Pandya Niwas." Natasha looked around and saw shocked faces.
"You know, Dhawal, I wasn't found for 7 years. Shweta Ma had raised me as her child. She didn't love me as her child, but she loved what I could do. You see I worked in films as a child artist. I didn't know what a mother's love was, but I did know what a mother manager was. Shweta Ma needed money, as I had gotten sick, so she thought to steal Pandya Store, we came back to Somnath. And around the same time, Daama had gotten a little sick, so Dhara Ma made it look worst, so everyone would come home, and they did. Everyone was so angry still, but they were different this time. You see, Raavi Chachi had Mithu and Mama had Sheesh by then. But Shiva Chachu wasn't ok, as he had suffered an injury before leaving Somnath. He had lost his short term memory. Chachi was dealing with alot. Then Shweta Ma made her appearance, tried to blackmail/ransom Pandya Store for me. It didn't work but I was back with my family. Seven years it took for our family to be complete. They forgave Shweta Ma, and Shweta Ma worked on forgiveness. But still the family was together yet separate. Everyone was too stubborn to concede. Then I got sick, and then Dhara Ma was the reason I became well. Shweta Ma received forgiveness from the family, and she started behaving as part of the family. She moved out soon after. It was then that everything started becoming normal. Krish Chachu then brought over Prerna Chachi over to meet everyone. Even Shiva Chachu recovered. Everything was good for a couple of months, Bade Papa, decided to open another Pandya Store, and we sold Pandya Niwas, and bought another as the family was growing. Prerna Chachi was expecting. They all decided to excited to sign the papers at the bank. They had all decided to go, Papa decided to get sweets for the family, and was going to meet up with everyone a little later. But the earthquake happened, and I lost everyone. You see, I never had a mothers love, but when I was found by my family. I had the love of mothers and 4 fathers. I was never so loved as I was in those few months. And then in moments, I lost it all. All of them dead within moments. They saved as much people they could, but in the end lost their lives." Natasha looked at Dhawal.
"Dhawal, please don't do this. I lost my whole world when I was 7 years old. I had to grow up fast. We lost our parents, Chiku disappeared at the same time. Then you came into my life, you married me, I found out the truth, I was broken again. Then Daama was in the hospital, I thought I lost my 2 most important relationships that I could have, my mother/grandmother and my husband. Then I came back here, you slowly were making your way back into my life, and then games started, you were angry with me. Then we were making our back to each other again, we were starting to trust each other but then another trick. And this time, my world was destroyed again. I lost everything. My family, my husband and Pandya Store. Then recently things went bad again. You almost died." Natasha cried, rushing into his arms. "You can't leave!" cried Natasha.
"Natasha, you're free. You can go back to Pandya Niwas." said Dhawal
"I am not going anywhere. I am staying with you!" yelled Natasha.
"We are not married.
Finally, Natasha yelled, "Dhawal, please. Don't leave. Your family needs you. You don't leave just because you are angry. Every relationship takes hard work. You can't quit just because you are angry."
"Why not! You left me. I apologized. I wanted to work on our relationship but you left me. Not once but many times. So why is it ok for you but not me." said Dhawal
"That's different. You wanted me out of your life. You signed the papers." cried Natasha
"I didn't want to. I wanted you. My wife. I love you Damn it! You're my wife. Yes, I get angry. I get jealous! You weren't supposed to sign the papers! Even now, you refused to marry me! I am scared every moment that any day now, you are going to leave and marry someone else!" Dhawal shook Natasha.
"Dhawal.."
"Natasha, fine! I won't finish my last rites for the family. But I am leaving. And no, you can't come with me. We are not married. I won't hurt you in anyway. Either you stay here or in Pandya Niwas."
"Why?" asked Natasha
"We are not married. We will be. I guarantee you that. We will be married soon. But I need find a job and a place." promised Dhawal
