"He will not marry you! Never! You were ready to marry another man 2 hours ago. You are not loyal to any man! " yelled, Amba.
"Fine!" yelled Natasha
"No! I will marry Natasha and no one else! Natasha, we will marry, and live separately. We will have our own family. Especially one without any orthodox thinking." yelled Dhawal
Natasha was nodding her head. She, then, whispered in the police officer's ear, and he started towards Pranali Bhabi. "Pranali Bhabi, I need you to go with the police officer. There are things that I need to say, I need you to be away for a little bit. l will be saying it will hurt you. So please go outside for about 15 minutes. I promise that when the time is right, I will tell you. Please." begged Natasha
Finally, Pranali nodded and left with the police officer. The remaining officers were also asked to leave them alone.
"So where was I? Dhawal and I would like to marry. I want the family's agreement, but that isn't possible. My mother in law hates me. Actually, she never wanted me to be her daughter in law. That is why, along with Amrish Bhai, she broke my marriage. Actually, she was the happiest when my marriage broke, " stated Natasha
"I was! Then Dhawal went running back to you, " said Amba
"I don't want to be in a family that sabatages each other." stated Natasha, confusing everyone.
"What do you mean?" stammered Amba
"Let's see, Ma, what have you done against the family: The alcohol during the engagement, the Fake Chiku, faking falls, blaming your daughter in laws. getting Pinky to cut my top during Dahi Handi. Lastly, joining Bhavin Bhai to bring the bad meds into Pranali Bhabi's clinic. You know, I tasted those meds. I could have died. You would have been responsible. You called me characterless. What does it make you: A murderer?" Natasha asked, shocking everyone. "Did I miss anything, Ma?"
"What.." Amba stammered, looking scared.
"Now, Amrish Bhai. You were furious when Chiku took your property. But what goes around comes around. You stole my property. You broke my marriage. You blackmailed me. Why? Because we were poor. We lost our parents 15 years, during the earthquake. eight members of our family died trying to save others, we survived. And we survived your theft. So tell me, why is it ok for you and your family to do things, but if someone else does it, that person is scum. That is what Ma called her son in law. She should be proud of Chiku. He was just following your family values." Amba looked down ashamed while Amrish tried to look uncaring.
"And Bhavin Bhai, you have been repressed by your brother and your mother that you were rebelling against them along with hurting your wife. She was always your target, as her family was her weakness." stated Natasha while Bhavin looked down.
"I was raised where our parents gave their life for strangers, so what would they do for their family. My family, new and old, I wanted it to join. To be one big happy family. But this family tries to sabatoges their own family members, " Natasha said. Pranali was walking back into the room.
"You know, if my Daama did the things to Esha Bhabi, like you did with us, where would your daughter be?" Natasha asked.
"Why would Sumon Bhen do that?" asked Amba
"And that is what our mothers ask. Why would Amba Bhen do that? Ma, you said I took the peace of your house, and when I lived in Pandya Niwas, I took the peace of your daughter. So what if I said that your daughter took the peace of Pandya Niwas. Or if I use your tongue, a Bad Omen. After all, she can't be trusted. She broke the trust of her brothers. And if she could do that, how loyal could she be with her inlaws. That seems to be the words you would use correctly." making the Makwana's ashamed.
"No, Natasha. Please don't say that about my Eshu. She's isn't like that, " cried Amba
"And neither are Hetal, Pranali, Dolly, and I. Yes, it's true that my methods are unconventional, but they are always for the betterment of the family. All I want is to live with my husband, happily. I want to enjoy life, not endure it. You see, I never wanted to marry. I could never be sure if my husband wanted me or Pandya Store. Then Dhawal came into my life, and I fell in love. But it wasn't meant to be. Then he regretted and wanted to marry me again. And I refused. And then he convinced me. All I ever wanted to was a peaceful life." said Natasha
"What hardships have you been through?" asked Amba, annoyed.
"I will tell you the hardship she has gone through," stated Daama
"My granddaughter was only 2 months old when she was kidnapped, and she stayed kidnapped for 7 years." Daama said, shocking everyone there.
"She was taken from us. She was raised by her kidnapper. She wasn't raised with love. She was raised as a money maker. She was working since she was a baby. Shweta raised her as a child artiste. She was working from one job to another. For 7 years, she was away from her family. Then she came home, and she was very sick. And then her Dhara Ma saved her life. We only had a few months of happiness when the earthquake happened, and I lost all my children in moments. We, also, lost Chiku. We lost our happy family. And but we never lost our strength. Our determination. Then, my grandchildren grew up. I married her into a family. Only to lose my granddaughter. Your family broke her. But she stood up. And still helped you when you needed her. Why did you blackmail her to come back when Dhawal was hurt? If she's not good enough for your family, then why bring her for Dhawal. Why play with her emotions." asked Daama
"Daama, let's go. I lost." said Natasha
"Oh no, you don't. We are getting married." Dhawal grabbed Natasha's arm, stopping her.
"Ma, Natasha is very loyal to me. She's never loved anyone but me. And I love her, only her. Ma, even I was ready to marry Suhani and refused at the last minute. Do you know that 2 hours after I refused to marry Suhani, I got a mandap ready to marry Natasha. She refused and I had my accident. But zi knew Natasha was angry with me. And worked hard in getting her forgiveness. Do you know that I got her ready for that wedding because it was going to be our wedding. Even her lengha was bought by me. And I rented this sherwani just to match her outfit. So our wedding outfit would match, " Dhawal stated, again shocking the family.
"Dhawal, your family won't agree." said Natasha
"You are my family. You are the reason I asked them to come live with me. You were the one to get me to forgive them. My reasons for leaving the house didn't change. Ma and the rest of the family will move back into Makwana house. We will live in the rented small house. Just you and me. Our small family in our small world." said Dhawal, holding both her arms.
"But Dhawal-" Natasha interjected
"No, Natasha. We are a family. You are my family. My love. My life. We are going to get married. We will have your happy, peaceful life. We have your Daama and your brothers. And maybe we will have Chirag and the Bhabi's." said Dhawal, wiping Natasha's tears.
"Anyone that opposes our marriage is free to leave. Anyone who has their best wishes may stay and witness the wedding." Dhawal said, not caring if it hurt anyone's feelings or not.
"Daama, let's start the wedding." Dhawal said. Amba was shocked that her son was going against her for some girl.
Shortly, Natasha and Dhawal were married with the whole family watching. As soon as the wedding was over, Chiku and Esha left the jail station.
"Chiku," Natasha whispered. Her eyes filled with tears. "Daama, why can't both families get along?" cried Natasha.
"Sshh. We will make it happen. You will have your one big happy family, " whispered Dhawal in her ears.
Just then, Chirag, the Bhabi's, Sheesh, and Mithu rushed towards them to congratulate them. While Amrish, Amba, and Bhavin stayed behind watching them.
