Natasha had finished writing a goodbye letter to her family.  After the distraous drama at the wedding, where she was attacked by Sundip.  She was finally done.  She was going to leave Somnath and start all over again.  No Makwanas, No Dhawal, No Pandya's.  Just Natasha.  She had packed a bag while Daama was doing her best in  trying to convince Chikku to take Esha on a honeymoon.    Natasha felt that someone was watching, but when she looked around, she saw no one.  While Dhawal, who had come by to speak to Natasha, hid from her view as he knew that Daama nor the boys would let him meet Natasha, so he had to sneak in.  What he didn't realize was that Natasha was on her way to leave the city.

Natasha threw her bag over the parapet wall of the terrace.  Dhawal looked up in shock when he saw the bag fall to the ground. As he looked up, he saw Natasha slowly climbing down.  Dhawal hid again the wall as he watched her climb down the pipe along the wall.  

When she landed on the ground, she grabbed her bag and started to wall to the main street.    When Natasha felt someone behind her, she would look around and see no one.  Where as, Dhawal would hide in the shadows when she would look around.    Natasha went to the train station and got a ticket for Amhedbad.   Luckily, Dhawal was close enough to hear her destination.  He got a ticket for Amhedbad also.   He quickly messaged Chirag quickly to explain the situation.  He asked Chirag to pick up his car and that he would explain later.  But until then, to keep quiet about the situation.

As Natasha was sitting in her compartment, a guy also came into the same compartment.  As there were no other passengers in the compartment, Natasha was starting to feel nervous.  Shortly after the train had started, Dhawal was trying to find Natasha.  Meanwhile, the stranger in Natasha's compartment had come closer to Natasha.   Natasha got up to leave when she was pulled from behind.  She was struggling to get free but was unable to.  Her top was ripped, and she was trying to scream for help when all of sudden, she was free.  Dhawal had saved her.    Dhawal quickly took off his shervani to cover Natasha and was beating the stranger.   When Natasha realised that Dhawal wasn't stopping.  She was pulling Dhawal away from him.  

"Dhawal, stop it.  You'll kill him.  Please.  Let the security deal with it.  Please.  Dhawal" cried Natasha

Finally, Dhawal stopped and looked up.  He saw a crowd in the doorway.  He looked at Natasha, who looked even smaller than usual in his Shervani.  

"Can someone call security, please?" said Dhawal

"What is your problem, man? How dare you hit me?  Do you know who I am?  What is she of yours that you tried killing me?  She's just a characterless woman?" yelled the beat-up man.

Dhawal tried to hit him again, but Natasha pulled him back.

"She's my wife!  Even if she wasn't, I would do the same thing.  How dare you call Dhawal Makwana's wife characterless!" yelled Dhawal.

The security came and dragged that man away, with one security personnel, staying with the crowd to take everyone's statements.

After everything was over, Dhawal sat Natasha down and asked, "What were you thinking?  Leaving the city in the middle of the night?  Do you know how dangerous it is?  Enough of your stubborness.   As soon as we arrive in Amhedbad, we are going to head to the temple, and we are getting married.  You have been attacked twice in 24 hours.  I chose you.  I can't live without you.  I tried and failed.  You're my wife." stated Dhawal angrily. 

"I'm not going back, Dhawal.  I am a joke in Somnath.  Married.  Annuled.  No wonder they think I am characterless."  said Natasha

"Fine, we won't go to Somnath."  said Dhawal
