Dhawal rushed into Esha's room and saw her crying on her bed.
"Do you want to go meet your husband. Or do you want to stay and cry on your bed?" asked Dhawal
"I want to go meet my husband." said Esha
"Then let's go." said Dhawal as he turned and rushed out the door, with Esha running after him.
They arrived at Pandya Niwas, where they overheard Natasha lecturing Chikku. Esha was about to go in when Dhawal held her back. "Wait, I want to hear."
Esha gave an exasperating expression but listened.
"Chikku, what is going on in your thick head? You got married, and your wife is at her maternal home. She should be here. We should be celebrating her and the family, yet the two families are feuding! I want you to forget the past and start anew with Bhabi." said Natasha
"Chutki, enough! Why are you forgiving them! Look what they have done to you! They annuled your marriage, and now men think you are characterless. They invite you for the night. One even asked you for his mistress! And these were men that you grew up with!" yelled Chikku when Dhawal heard that. He clenched his fist in anger. How dare they treat his Natasha like that.
"I'm not forgiving. I just decided that I am done. I will be leaving town in a couple of days. I will never return. So all this is a moot point. I am going to start all over. And my past will not follow me. Nobody will know that at one point, I was married to Dhawal since the annulment basically deleted the wedding, and I got Shanu to delete any pictures that were posted online. So it was like I was never married to Dhawal, I am going to erase him out of my life. So now please start anew with Bhabi please. Think of it as my Rakshan Bandhan gift. Bring Bhabi home, and concentrate on Pandya Store. Remember, we are Pandya's. Make Bade Papa and Dhara Ma proud, please"
"Fine! Why do you always get your way? " muttered Chikku
"Because I am Rishita Pandya's daughter." said Natasha
Dhawal knocked on the door, and Esha and Dhawal walked in. "Dhawal, Bhabi? You're here? Why?" asked Natasha
"Esha wanted to spend some time with her husband. And I want to talk to you. Privately. It's important." said Dhawal
"No! Leave my sister alone! YOU have done enough!" yelled Chikku
"You can't stop me from meeting my wife!" yelled Dhawal back
"Correction, she was your wife. She's not your wife anymore." said Chikku firmly
"Actually, she's still my wife. It turns out the judge who was to sign off on the annulment was not actually a judge. His creditials were lacking a few things. He's a lawyer, but not a judge. So , there was no annulment granted. We are very much still married. And I need to talk to my wife, now, " said Dhawal, grabbing a shocked Natasha's hand and pulling her along with him. "We will be back shortly,"
Finally, Natasha recovered from her shock. She tried to leave, and Dhawal would block her way. She would move to one side, and he would block her, and then she moved to the other side, and he would block her again. She was getting frustrated at his actions. "What do you think you're doing. Our relationship is over. We have nothing to say to each other. Your family has already found someone for you. Please leave!" stated Natasha
"Our relationship is not dead. It will never be dead. I am not getting married to anyone else. We are married and we are staying married." stated Dhawal
"Well, that mistake can be fixed. I am leaving town, so we can fix it before I leave." said Natasha
"You aren't leaving me. I love you. I only asked for an annulment because I needed to return Pandya Store back to you. I know we had a lot of issues between us, mostly caused by my family, mainly Amrish Bhai and Ma. But no longer." stated Dhawal
