Not Giving Up

Natasha was kicked out of Makwana house, and she slowly went back to Pandya Niwas.  Dhawal was crying in his room with the door locked as he didn't want to talk to anyone.  He knew he was wrong, but he had no choice.  Amrish wouldn't sign over the property papers if he didn't agree to the divorce.  He wanted to live with his Natasha forever, and now he was alone, with her hatred.

Amrish and Amba were celebrating, while the rest of the family was in their rooms wondering what just happened.  Dhawal kicked out Natasha, but they were confused as just two days earlier. He was happy with Natasha, and yesterday, he fought with the family for her.

A couple of days later, everyone was at the dining table sitting down for breakfast when there was a knock on the door.   Dhawal's pregnant sister and brother-in-law, Esha and Yashodhan Khanna, were at the door and with suitcases.

Everyone was shocked, as they had not gotten any notice that they were coming.  Esha was crying while Yash looked cold.

"Damadji, Esha!  What a wonderful surprise!"  said Amba, going to hug Esha and Yash.

As she was hugging Esha, Esha started to cry more, scaring Amba.  She looked at Yash while everyone else got to their feet, in confusion.

"Keep your daughter!  If you can kick my sister out, then I have no problem kicking your daughter out!"  said Yash, confusing the Makwana's even more.

"What do you mean kicking out your sister!  We don't even know your sister."  said Amrish, as he looked worriedly at Esha.

"My sister, Saanchi, otherwise known as Natasha Pandya.  She is my Masi's daughter, that you got Dhawal to marry.  Then, you stole her property and kicked her out!" yelled Yash

"Wait a minute, how is Saanchi,  Natasha Pandya.  You weren't at our wedding.  She wasn't at your wedding either." asked Dhawal

"Saanchi is the name she was given at birth. She was kidnapped at our grandparents' home by one of our grandfather's rival's daughters, Shweta.  Shweta had lost her husband and child shortly before, took Saanchi, and left for Mumbai.  Saanchi was then named Natasha.  My Masi suffered for 7 years before she was reunited with Natasha.  Then we lost our Masi and Massaji along with Massaji's brothers and their wives.  She didn't come to our wedding due to the fact that our grandparents wanted her to live with them, and she wanted to live with Daama and the boys.  Then our grandfather got mad, and they stopped visiting.   I may not have been in her life, but she is my sister.  My only sister.  Every year, she sends my rakhi for me, and every year, I wish I could visit her in person, but she's denied because she didn't want to upset our grandfather.   Then you married my sister and then kicked her out like she was garbage! And I couldn't even protect her.  I can't even beat you up because you are my damn brother in law!" stated Yash, making Dhawal more ashamed than before.

"Jeeju, I didn't want to kick Natasha out of Makwana's house. I love her.  But I had to.  Otherwise, Amrish Bhai wouldn't give back Pandya Store back to Natasha."  cried Dhawal, shocking everyone.  First, with him calling Amrish, Amrish bhai instead of Mots, and secondly, the reason for kicking Natasha out of Makwana house.

"What?"  Yash looked at Amrish in disgust.  Yash shook his head, "Disgusting.  Well, then.  Whatever happens to my sister will happen to your sister.   You took my sister's family business, so Nanu has already made plans to halt your building permits.  You see Natasha is the only girl in our family, and you hurt her. You hurt our whole family.   You kicked my sister out of her home, and we have done the same to Esha."  Yash turned around and left.
