Naveli and Natasha were in Naveli's room when Dhawal came into the room.  His girls looked at him curiously.  

"Naveli, do you want to change your room to be closer to ours.  I was thinking of the room beside ours."  said Dhawal

"Really?  I can move my room.  Yes, please?"  said Naveli excitedly

"How about we start moving things into the other room, and then we can decorate they way you want it."  said Dhawal.  Natasha didn't say anything, but he figured something was up, as she was too quiet.

A few hours later,  they had moved the basics upstairs to the room beside Dhawal and Natasha's.   "Naveli, tomorrow we will go shopping and pick up things you need for your room.  Until then, why don't you draw something for your mummy.  I need to talk to your mummy in our room."  said Dhawal, making Natasha annoyed.  Dhawal quickly grabbed Natasha's hand and pulled her along with him towards their room.

Natasha quickly released her hand from Dhawal once Dhawal had closed the door and turned away from him.

"Natasha, what's going on?  I thought everything was ok?  You decided to stay with me?  Our family?  You let me hug you in front of everyone?  You haven't spoken one word to me?"  asked Dhawal

"I am mad at you!  You thought I was the reason for Amrish Bhai's death?  Why didn't you trust me?" yelled Natasha

"I wanted to ask you?  But you were pregnant!  And I was too scared to ask you!  And in my guilt, I blamed you.  Why didn't you tell me anything?  I gave you chances to tell me! I gave you and Naveli punishment in my guilt!  I felt guilty that Hetal Bhabi lost her world, and Golu lost his father!   I am sorry!"  cried Dhawal, kneeling in front of her, wrapping his arms around her legs.  "Please forgive me!  I had already received this punishment.  You were gone from my life.  I know it wasn't your fault.  But I needed you, and you weren't there.  I kept looking for you.  I went to the police, hospitals, and temples.  Everywhere, anywhere that I thought you might have gone, I went.  I neglected Naveli in my search for you.  Naveli needed the love of parents, so I gave her to Pranali Bhabi and Bhavin Bhai so she would get the love of two parents.   As Naveli got older, the more she acted like you, looked like you.  I would needlessly get angry.  I missed you! I needed you!  You are my life!  I can't function properly without you!  I need you in my life!"  

"Get up!  I am mad at you!  But that doesn't mean I don't love you!  I know you are impulsive!  Hot-headed!  I was going to tell you after I came from the hospital, but you had said that you hated yourself for loving me.  That hurt!  I made the decision to tell you.  I was waiting for you when Bhabi yelled at me to leave the house.  I felt suffocated that I had decided to get some fresh air. Instead, I was involved in the accident.  I needed you to trust me!  I was your wife, the mother of your child!"  said Natasha

"You are my wife!" retorted Dhawal

"Your Bhabi and her lawyer declared our marriage invalid. Dolly Bhabi told me.   We are not married."

"Then we will get married.  Today or tomorrow.  I am not waiting any longer!  I wasted 7 years since Amrish Bhai has died! We've been married for over eight years.  First, Amrish Bhai and Ma played their tricks, and then we got an annulment.  Then we got married, and Ma played her games.  Then we lost Amrish Bhai, then you!   I am not wasting anymore time.  My wife and my child.  I want to spend time with them.  I want us to be a proper family!" stated Dhawal firmly
