Natasha smiled as it had been two years since she was last in Somnath. Natasha had left Somnath for Ahmedbad to finish her schooling and to get away from the family.
She had only been married for six months when the news of the demolition of Pandya Store came about. When she saw the real face of her inlaws, she didn't say a word to them but she did go over to apologise to Daama and her brothers, but they wouldn't listen, and they kicked her out of Pandya Niwas. She went back to Makwana house, as she had no other place to go.
Dhawal tried to apologise, to talk to her, but she was quiet. She did her work without any complaints. Too quiet. Amba and Amrish were on cloud nine, so happy that their plan worked. What they didn't realize was that Dhawal had recorded their talks and was trying to become independent so that Natasha and he could move out.
Finally, Natasha had enough and spoke to Dhawal.
"Dhawal, I need to talk to you." said Natasha
Dhawal was happy that Natasha was finally speaking to him.
"Go ahead." Dhawal smiled.
"I want to go to Amhedbad. I had gotten a scholarship to finish my MBA, but we were getting married, so I never thought of it. But now, I want to go. Please. Let me go."
Dhawal was shocked. He didn't think that she would leave him. He looked at her and saw that she was serious. He was ready to move out with her, yet Natasha wanted to leave him. Dhawal responded, "Give me some time, please."
A couple of days later, Dhawal took Natasha out for dinner.
As they were sitting in the restaurant, Dhawal asked Natasha, "What are your plans?"
"I just want to finish my MBA." said Natasha
"Fine, I have conditions." said Dhawal
"Conditions? What conditions?" squeaked Natasha
"You are not leaving me. We are married. You are my wife. Mine. And I am your husband. I love you!" stated Dhawal shocking Natasha.
"But-" stammered Natasha
"No buts. We made promises. We are staying together. Now, I know you are hurt. I didn't know that Amrish Bhai would demolish Pandya Store, I know he wanted it, but I thought he would be talking to you about it. I overheard Ma and Amrish Bhai talking the other day about how they got Pandya store, but also got you to be the perfect daughter in law. I don't want the perfect daughter in law. I want my Maddie back, my Natasha. I will give you time and space." said Dhawal
"Really," smiled Natasha
"Yes, your course is for a year, correct?" asked Dhawal
"Yes." smiled Natasha
"I will work on getting back Pandya store, and you finish your MBA. But I want you back with me at the end of the year." said Dhawal
Natasha smiled and agreed.
"You will move into my apartment in Amhedbad." said Dhawal
"You have an apartment in Amhedbad?" asked Natasha.
"How is the family going to react?" asked Natasha
"I'm not going to tell them until after I come back from Amhedbad. I will deal with it my way." stated Dhawal
Two years later, Natasha came back to Somnath, as her company had transferred to their Somnath office. What Natasha didn't realize that in the time she was away, Dhawal had become one of the top businessmen in Somnath. Dhawal owned an events company with locations in Mumbai and Amhedbad. When Natasha wished to stay in Amhedbad after her schooling was over, he had gotten his manager to offer her a job in his Amhedbad office. Now, after two years of waiting, he decided to transfer Natasha back to Somnath.
