"Katu, where are you?  I haven't heard from you in three days?"  said Dhawal when Katu answered his phone.

"Why?  Do  you need anything?" asked a cold Katu

"Why are you acting like this?" asked Dhawal

"Do you remember the last time we spoke.  I was going to tell you about Natasha, and you cut me off.   Well, guess what, I hope you are happy.  You and your family just destroyed the Pandya family.  The same family that lost 8 members of their family over 15 years ago in the earthquake.  Seven of them died trying to save your father.   Now, you and your family have destroyed the remaining members of the family.  Congratulations!"

"Katu, no, please.  I promise I had nothing to do with this.  I only agreed to the annulment, so I could give Natasha back Pandya Store.  What happened?" cried Dhawal

"Natasha's Daama is no more.  And her brothers broke their relationship with her.  After Daama's funeral, they left town as there was nothing left.  They didn't even inform her of their leaving.  Natasha is staying with me as my sister.  She doesn't talk, eat, or move.   All she does is stare blankly.  The girl I knew is not the girl I have living in my house."  Katu said, shocking Dhawal.

"What?" whispered Dhawal.  "I am coming."  

Dhawal rushed out to Katu's place.  When he arrived, he saw the condition of Natasha, and he felt angry at himself and his family.   His Natasha, his angry birdie, had been quietened.   Dhawal picked up his Natasha and told Katu to follow him.   First, they went to the doctors to get Natasha checked out.   The doctors stated that she is in shock.  She will be fine once she has come out of her shock.   A change of scenery might help.   Dhawal made a decision for both of them.   Dhawal then took Natasha to the courthouse and canceled the annulment.   Luckily, they got the doctor to state that Natasha was in no condition in making a decision on their annulment.    Then they went to the bank and spoke to the bank manager.  Dhawal was able to confirm the names of the people who died in the bank 15 years ago.   

"Katu, how did you know about the Pandya family were the ones to lose their lives in trying to save my father?"  asked Dhawal

"I was at the Daama's funeral.  I heard the neighbors talking, and then the Pandya brothers confirmed it when they were throwing accusations at Natasha."  stated Katu.  "What are you going to do now?" 

"Well, I am going to stay at the farmhouse with Natasha.  I need to make arrangements, I am going to take Natasha to Ahmedbad.  She can finish her MBA when she gets better.  Amrish Bhai and Maa will never let us live in peace.   I overheard them talking when I was leaving the house about the demolition of Pandya Store,  Golu's kidnapping which was done by Esha, but they had blamed Natasha as they wanted the family to hate her,  there's other things but I will go through it later.  Right now, my first priority is Natasha.   I have my place in Ahmedbad.  Remember, a few years ago,  Amrish Bhai started giving us our shares of the profits.   Amrish Bhai thought I just spent on myself and my parties.   But I wanted to build the farmhouse, and Bhai wouldn't let me spend a dime on it, stating that he could build it for us.  So, then I bought an apartment in Ahmedbad.  I had rented it out last year, but it is empty now.  I was going to get my manager to rent out again, but I don't have to do that now.    I will move in there with Natasha."

Within the next few days, Dhawal got things organized to leave town with Natasha.  Chirag, Dolly, and Pranali came by the farmhouse and saw Natasha.   They were shocked at her condition.  Dhawal explained everyt3hing from what happened 15 years ago, what happened a few days ago with Daama and her brothers.  Natasha was responding to Dhawal's voice.  Dhawal quietly left town with Natasha, only keeping contact with Katu and Chirag.
