Natasha was blamed for the Golu's kidnapping, and she was trying to find the proof of her innocence.  She packed a bag and went to stay with her Daama for a few days.  She was hoping for things to calm down when she came back.

She didn't know who framed her, but she would get to the bottom.   Luckily, she had a friend, Meera, who knew hacking.  After they were able to find out who the girl was that blamed Natasha, they were able to hack into her account and closed it.  They were able to find out other questionable amounts in her account.

As they were out and about, Natasha got a call from Sheesh.  She couldn't understand Sheesh. He was crying too much.   She rushed home with her friend, Meera, and found that her Daama had passed away.  She couldn't fall apart, so she sent her friend away to find out more evidence while she dealt with the aftermath of her Daama's passing.

After a week of ignoring Dhawal's calls and texts, he arrived at Daama's to bring Natasha home.  He looked surprised at the mess in the home.  As he walked in, he saw that Natasha was packing things.

"What's going on, Natasha?"  asked Dhawal, confused

"I've sent Sheesh and Mithu away to Mumbai," stated Natasha coldly.

"What about Daama?  Who's gonna take care of her?  She just got out of the hospital?" said Dhawal

"Daama's left us and went to her children." stated Natasha as she continued to pack.

"What??  Why didn't you tell me?  Damn it, Natasha, I am talking to you!"  said Dhawal

"What do you want me to say?  That I have lost only person that was in my corner, the person that believed in me?  Why do you need to know?  You only care about aquiring Pandya Store.  Well, guess what.  It's all yours now.  Please leave!"  asked Natasha

"Damn it, Natasha!  How can you think I would leave you!  We are married.  Marriage is not a game that one day you play married, and the next day, you throw it away!" yelled Dhawal, his anger boiling over, shutting Natasha up.

"We are married.  And we are staying married."  stated an angry Dhawal

"I'm leaving Dhawal.  Once I transfer the papers, I am leaving for Mumbai, Dhawal."  said Natasha

"Like hell you are!" Dhawal yelled. "Grab what you need. We're going home!" 

"That is not my home.  Nobody has accepted me there.  So I will be joining my  brothers."  stated Natasha

"You will not.  If you don't want to live in Makwana house.  Fine!  We will move out.  But we are giving our marriage a proper chance. Multiple chances if need to until we have exhaust every option." said Dhawal, surprising Natasha.

Natasha looked at him and then went to Daama's room and closed the door.  She closed the door and laid down on the bed, thinking he would give up and leave.

A few minutes later, Dhawal walked into the room and saw that Natasha was lying on the bed, just staring out the window. 

"Natasha, let's go.  I'm taking you home."  stated Dhawal.

"Dhawal, you go.  I'm going to stay here." said Natasha. "I still alot to do.  Please go."

"Fine!" Dhawal left the room, closing the door after him.

"You left me when I needed you most.  I will never forgive you, Dhawal Makwana, " Natasha muttered as she started to cry.  Natasha had fallen asleep while Dhawal cleaned up the mess from the packing that Natasha was doing.  All the boxes put organized them against the wall.  The room was still not done, but at least the pictures and other personal items were boxed away.  Dhawal went to check on Natasha and saw that she had fallen asleep.

He grabbed an empty box and started packing the personal items from the bedroom where Natasha was sleeping.  There were some papers, pictures, and other items all packed away.  Once done, Dhawal called Kattu over and had him take the boxes away.  

Kattu left with the boxes, and Dhawal took the last box to his car.   He came back for Natasha and locked the door as he carried her, sleeping to the car.

He  realised that this past week, that she probably didn't sleep, and now she was so exhausted that she was sleeping so deeply that she didn't even wake up when he picked her up to take her to the car.  

When he arrived at Makwana house, she still didn't wake up.  He took up to their room over the protests of everyone.  Once she settled down, he came down where everyone was waiting for an explanation.  

"Mots, Ma.  Natasha and I will be moving out."  he spit out

"What?  No!  I won't let you!  It's all that witch's fault.  Don't know what spell she put on my son!" yelled, Amba

"Are you crazy?"  asked Amrish while the rest of them were watching.

"Do you know that Daama has passed away?  Natasha sent her brothers to Mumbai.  She was packing Pandya Niwas when I went to pick her up.   She couldn't even trust her husband to tell him that her grandmother had passed away." said an angry Dhawal

"What?  Poor Natasha.  We couldn't even be there for her, "  said Dolly quietly, but everyone heard her.

"Yes.  Natasha is planning to sign over Pandya Store over to me."  stated Dhawal

"That's great news!  And you can divorce her now, too!"  said Amrish in happiness.

"Fine.  I will, but then you would have to divorce Hetal Bhabi and lose Golu forever, too." said Dhawal 

"Dhawal!  How dare you!"  yelled, Amrish

"Why?  Did it hurt hearing those words.  If you can't divorce your wife, why are you expecting me to divorce my wife.  You can't imagine a day without seeing your son?  But what about Bhabi? She can't visit her family. She is their daughter, yet because of you, she can't see them.   Golu is your only child, and you couldn't hear the words that you would lose him forever.  But what about the family that lost eight members of their family trying to save our father.  Do you know that was Natasha's family.  And Daama knew that her children had lost their lives for Papa.  She didn't say a word, but what did we do? Betrayed her and her granddaughter.  No longer, I will not be part of this game.  Pandya Store will be staying in the Pandya family.  My marriage is not a game, that one day will play marriage and the next day, I throw it away."

"Dhawal, it was Natasha's parents that lost their lives?"  asked Chirag

"Yes.  Her parents, her aunts and uncles.  They would have survived it if they didn't go back into the bank to help Papa.   I read all the new articles that Daama had kept.  You see Natasha tried kicking me out of Pandya Niwas, she went into her room, and was crying for her Daama when she fell asleep.  She thought I had left, but I was packing the remaining items in the room.  When I went to check on her, she was asleep.  She probably hasn't slept since Daama passed away, as she didn't even wake up when I picked her up and brought her here.   While she was sleeping, I packed away the personal items in their room.   The cupboard had an album where Daama had stored the newspaper articles.  I thought the album would be of Natasha when she was younger, but instead, I read the articles.  There was even an article about Natasha.   She was kidnapped for 7 years.  She's had a rough life, and then we have our mother and brother who are making it even harder.   She has been kidnapped before, even at our wedding, so why would she kidnap Golu?"  asked Dhawal

Dhawal looked at his family, "Oh right, she didn't do it.  Golu was kidnapped but not by Natasha.  It was Esha, wasn't it?"  asked Dhawal

"Why would Esha do that?" asked Bhavin,
"You must be mistaken."

"Dhawal, Esha isn't even in the city,"  said Chirag

"Oh, but she was.  But she was sent out of the city by Amrish Bhai.    Given money and sent away.  He also paid the girl who blamed Natasha for the kidnapping.  You see, I heard from his mouth as he was talking to Ma about it.  You see, Natasha and I had a fight about it, and we were resolving it, when Ma interrupted us by walking into our room without knocking.  Embarassing Natasha and I.  I left the room, and I believe Natasha was showing Ma the evidence she had found.  Which you had told Amrish Bhai about.  Well, after I came back into the room, we had another fight, where Natasha left to go to Daama's for a few days.  Well, Natasha wasn't answering my texts or calls, I went to Ma's room to let her know that I was leaving for Pandya Niwas.   Before I could make myself known, I had overheard the things that our mother and brother were up to.  That is what I have no issue moving into Pandya Niwas without any issues. They have been manipulating us this whole time.  But no longer.  Natasha and I will be moving to Pandya Niwas as soon as it is ready.  And if you try to take Pandya Store away from Natasha, I will personally make sure that the city knows the underhanded things that this family has done, then let's see how reputations survive the scandals"  Dhawal said as he turned around and went to his room.

Dhawal went to his room and started to make some phone calls, as he wanted to renovate Pandya Niwas before he moved in with Natasha.   Natasha was still sleeping, and he knew that with everything that is happened that she needed sleep.  He thought to make dinner, and then he would wake her up.

As he was making dinner, there was a quiet knock on the door.   Dhawal quickly opened the door before it could wake up Natasha.  When he opened the door, he saw that Chirag and Dolly were at the door. 

"Chirag, Bhabi.  Come in."  Dhawal gestered then in, then closed the door.  "Sorry, Natasha is still sleeping.  I don't think she slept well for the past week."

"How is Natasha really doing?"  asked Chirag

"Well, she's cold.  She's upset.  I haven't even told her about the girl who was paid to lie. When I found out I was mad but I didn't say anything to Ma or Mots.  I went straight to Natasha, only to find out that Daama passed away, and she couldn't feel that she could tell me.  I'm her husband, and my wife has been dealing everything on her own.  So when she said she was signing over the store and leaving for Mumbai, I literally wanted to shake her and tell that I love her.  But she was right, I didn't stand up for her when that girl was putting the blame on her.  I didn't know what to believe.  She's my wife, and she couldn't have done it.  But the evidence was against her.  I didn't know she was being framed by my own mother and elder brother."  cried Dhawal.

"Ssshh Dhawal.  Natasha is just angry with you.  The reason she married you was the she's in love with you.  With what happened when she found out the truth of why you married her, then her leaving, then her Daama having the heart attack.  Her love has been bruised.  When She came back.  It was because she still loves you.  The Pandya's are known for fighting for their relationships.  The ways are out of the box, but they always fight for their loved ones.  And once she heals from her hurt, she will be your Natasha again."  said Dolly

"But Bhabi, with her Daama gone, and her brothers in Mumbai, she is alone.  Broken."  said Dhawal

"But you are here.  You be her support.  You heal her." said Chirag.  "You know what, Dhawal, you know when two things are perfect for each other.  Everything then works.  Like a lock and key.  You need a key to open or close a lock.  You and Natasha are a lock and key.  Natasha is your key for your lock.  Together, perfect.  Separated, you both are alone and broken.  Together, you can do anything."  said Chirag.

"Thanks, Bhai.  I needed this." said Dhawal

"Dhawal, why don't you go to the farmhouse till Pandya house is renovated.  I've will help with getting the renovations done.  Luckily, it shouldn't be too much work.  I will get Shamlal and do the inspections tomorrow.  But first, let Natasha know your plans.  She may have some questions." 

"I will.  I will wake up Natasha now and make sure she eats dinner.  Then I will talk to her."  said Dhawal

"I will talk to you later."  said Chirag as he and Dolly left the room.  Dhawal closed the door and locked it.   Then, he went to the bed to wake up Natasha.

"Natasha, wake up."  said Dhawal as he shook her awake.

"Dhawal,  5 more minutes."  said a sleepy Natasha

"Come on, Maddy.  Wake up, then eat.  Then you can go back to sleep."  

Natasha stretched and realized that she wasn't at Pandya Niwas.  She was at Makwana house in their room.

"What - How did I get here?"  she looked at Dhawal

"I brought you here?  Who else would dare?" said Dhawal

"But I still had so much work to do.  Dhawal!"  she pouted, forgetting her anger for a moment.

"Natasha, Maddy.  Listen, I packed the essential items, and they are at Kathu's.  We will go there in the morning and finish the rest.  I've made a decision, and hopefully, you will agree with me.  We are moving out.  Chirag and I have a farmhouse.  We will move there temporarily.  I have decided that Pandya Niwas will be renovated. We need more rooms there.  Mithu and Sheesh need their own rooms, and so I am thinking of putting another floor, so we can accommodate everyone." said Dhawal

"You want to move out with me?"  asked Natasha

"Yes.  I want to move out with my wife.  Do you have a problem?" asked Dhawal

"No.  What about the family?"  asked Natasha

"They have no say.  You will not be signing Pandya Store over.  That is your legacy.  They have manipulated us enough.  No more.  You are going to finish college, then get your MBA.  I will finish college, then start working.  But we will be doing it together.  You see, there is a saying  C that wealth, success, and love.  Pick one to walk with you in life.  If we pick wealth, we would never have to worry about money.  Sucess, anything we accomplish will be successful.  Love, our lives will be filled with love.  Well, I pick Love.  I pick you.  Wealth and success is nothing if I don't have you in my life."  said Dhawal

"Why are you making it so hard to stay mad at you!  But I am not going to forgive you this easily.  You didn't trust me.  You thought I kidnapped Golu!"  yelled Natasha

"You don't want to forgive me yet.  That's fine.  I deserve it.  I didn't stand up for you against my family.  I promise that I will always stand up for you.  You want to get angry with me, that's fine.  But promise me that you will never leave."  said Dhawal

"I promise.  You too."  said Natasha

"I promise I will never leave you.  I love you, my Maddy." promised Dhawal "I've made dinner.  Let's eat.  Then you need to rest."

"You made dinner.  Ma is going to be so angry." Natasha started to panick

"Listen, biwi.  We are not eating in the dining area.  Not today nor any other day.  We are eating here in our room.  We will be moving out to the farmhouse tomorrow.  Then we will start figuring out the renovations for Pandya Niwas."  said Dhawal

"What about work?" asked Natasha

"I got a job.   I will be working after college.  Don't worry about work.  We will manage."  said Dhawal.
