Note: The Makwana are not as orthodox as in the show, nor is Amrish and Amba as cunning
Hot and cold
It had been a few days since the day when Dhawal and Natasha were locked in the library.
Dhawal had come to Natasha to ask her for marriage after her prospective groom rejected her but she refused not wanting pity. But Daama took the prospective groom's rejection to heart, and her health had detortiated.
Daama had called Amrish and Amba over to her home over the objections of Natasha.
Daama met with Amrish and Amba and spoke to them about getting Natasha and Dhawal married. Natasha was not agreeing yet, but Daama was sure to convince her.
"Beta, Ambaji. I am very sick, and I want Chutki's life to be settled before I go to my maker. My kids don't know of my health issues, but I know my boys will be fine. Chutki, on the other hand, will need support." said Daama
"Kaki, Natasha will be the Makwana's youngest daughter in law. Dhawal has already proclaimed Natasha as his wife. He wants to marry her, and he will convince her. But Kaki, I need to tell you something. This has nothing to do with Pandya Store, as we had changed our designs when Natasha rejected the offer. I found out something that happened many years ago." said Amrish
"That my children are the ones that lost their lives in trying to save your father. I knew. I also knew that my children loved each other and they would rather lose their lives rather than live without each other." said Daama
"You knew. And you never said anything?" asked Amba
"Yes. It's the past. Both families lost a lot that day. There was no reason the dig up old hurts
"But how will you get Natasha to agree. I will use my health. I don't much longer. And I want to see Chutki married before I go."
The plans were made, and Natasha made one more effort to deter Dhawal. Natasha had called him over to talk.
"Dhawal, I called you over because I have something to say." said Natasha
"I know, now that the families are excited for our marriage, but I wish you would say no." said Natasha
"No? Why? I don't want to." said Dhawal
"Do you know why I got sick in the library?" asked Natasha
Dhawal looked puzzled.
"Because I only have one kidney. I was born with one kidney. I am healthy, but when I get stressed or dehydrated, I get sick a little. I don't want to burden you, so it would be better if you say no." said Natasha
Dhawal looked at Natasha thoughtfully, making Natasha think that he would be saying no.
"I don't care if you have one kidney. A person goes through life with using only one kidney as a person only needs one kidney. The second kidney is a spare that only starts working once your first kidney stops working. Now, if the situation happens after marriage, would you expect to be dumped? Or if I get a medical issue after we get married?" said Dhawal
"Did you think I that shallow?" asked Natasha
"I can say the same thing! I am not shallow. I may belong to well to do family, but we are a decent family." said Dhawal
"Sorry," muttered Natasha
"Natasha, everyone will have health issues at one point. My Ma has high blood pressure. My Amrish Bhai has diabetes. Both, if not taken care of properly, can lead to serious complications, if not death. We as family take care of each other, and now that you will be part of our family, you will be taken care of just like we do with Ma and Bhai." said Dhawal
