She was scared of his attitude, but she complied with his wishes.
"Well, you know about Pandya Store, so I won't gloss over that. The girl that accused me of kidnapping, we believe, to be paid by Amrish Bhai, so I would be hated in the family. Isha was the one who had taken Golu. Not me. Isha admitted that all she wanted was for Amrish to feel how it is to be away from their loved ones. She didn't mean for it to go this far. I know that you weren't happy with our marriage, but we just couldn't make it work. But did you have to move on so quickly." Natasha cried.
"I did not move on quickly. Amrish Bhai manipulated me in regards to the marriage. After we got back from the hospital, Amrish Bhai told me he had no problem, with me bringing you back, but then with Isha and Chiku's wedding, he told me that you were the one that got them married, and you admitted it too. Why, when it wasn't even your doing?" Dhawal asked.
"Family. Family is the most important thing."
"Fine. I can understand that. The wedding was not my idea. It just spiraled out of my hands. Even my jealousy. I was jealous that you were giving Sundeep any importance. You were my wife, and he was acting like he was the husband. I am sorry. I lost my mind. I will regret those words till my death. I had no plans of saying anything. I thought I had lost you. I thought you moved on with that, Sundeep. I deeply regret not barging in on you. I didn't know he had drugged you." Dhawal cried.
"It's fine. That is not important, well it is, but there are a few things more. You know, Daama explained to me that Shiva Chachu also doubted Raavi Chachi. You see, trust is more important in a relationship. Love and Trust go hand in hand. And if Shiva Chachu and Raavi Chachi could have problems, so can we." said Natasha
Dhawal felt relieved at this. He still had a chance.
"Do you know that Amrish Bhai sent Shashank over to you house, to get close to you.?" said Dhawal
"What? But he's Chiku's friend, " said a shocked Natasha
"I heard Amrish Bhai and Shashank talking today. I also found the property papers for Sundeep's business. That file from yesterday was your file, wasn't it." Dhawal asked.
"Yes. He's given me six months to pay back the 45 lakhs. But I had to take care of you. But I was going to do that regardless. No matter what. If I can bring you back from the death, taking care of you is no problem." stated Natasha
"Bring me back from death? What are you talking about?" asked Dhawal
"Well, when Amrish Bhai came over and told me about him buying the company, he asked me to take care of you. I said no, because I thought it was another trick on your part. Then he told me that you were in the hospital. I ran to the hospital as soon as I found out. When I arrived in your room, the doctor had said that 'We lost him'. I was so mad at you. You weren't supposed to leave me like that. I begged you, hit you, even shook you. Finally, your heart started again. You had scared me." Natasha cried. "Then, a couple of days later, Amrish Bhai cornered me and told me to sign. Which I did. You were getting better. And that's all I wanted for you to be healthy. But somewhere in me, I was feeling distant. I didn't want to get close again if you were going to leave me forever." admitted Natasha.
"Fine, I will accept that. Now, let's get to what happened last night." said Dhawal
"What happened last night? Nothing happened, " stated Natasha
"Natasha, you know what happened last night. We became close again. And I refuse to let you put distance between us again. Hell, you could have gotten pregnant."
"No! It only happened once!" said Natasha, blushing.
"And sometimes it just happens with only once. Either way, I am not letting you go. You are my wife. And no Amrish, Sundeep, or now this Shashank is going to come between us."
"But our families are not going to agree." said Natasha.
"I don't care. You're mine. For this lifetime, and every lifetime. You are mine, as i am yours."
"Dhawal, be practical. My family is starting to look for potential grooms for me. And trust me, your family will start to look for brides for you. "
"Not happening. We wouldn't have taken that step last night if we didn't love each other. I don't care if you don't agree. I should have married you that night when I told you I had a right to worry about you. I was going to tell you that I love you that day. But we got into an argument. And then the next day, I made the worst mistake of my life. But no longer. We are getting married today. Actually, in a few minutes. Then we will expose Amrish Bhai. And then we are moving out and we will work together in helping to pay back the 45 lakhs." stated Dhawal as he started to pull her towards the idol where the priest was saying a prayer.
"Punditji. We want to get married again." Dhawal said to the priest while Natasha nodded, finally agreeing to the demand.
Fifteen minutes later, Dhawal and Natasha were married. They left for Pandya Niwas to get Daama's blessing. When they arrived at Pandya Niwas, they surprised everyone with their marriage. Chiku was not accepting. Dhawal apologized and explained himself. He told them about Shashank and the 45 lakhs that are now owed to Amrish.
Chiku refused to believe in Shashank, but when they looked at the facts along with the fact that Shashank works for Amrish, it looked possible. Chiku looked defeated.
"Chiku, please be happy for me. Dhawal is the only one for me. I know we have had our ups and downs, but which couple doesn't. He's always protected me when needed. Yes, he did say things that he shouldn't have but between the jealousy and Amrish Bhai's manupulation, I know things look bad. Besides, Daama mentioned that Shiva Chachu and Raavi Chachi went through the same thing."
Chiku looked towards Daama, and she nodded.
"Chiku, I am planning to expose Amrish Bhai within the next couple of days. I just need to get more information before I expose him." stated Dhawal
"I want to be there for it. I am not losing out on this." stated Chiku
Dhawal nodded.
"Ok, ok. Now, that is over. Can we talk about the wedding.? Did you have a proper wedding?" asked Daama
"Yes, Daama. We got married at the temple, and we had the pheras. I am wearing sindoor and my mangalsutra. Everything was done properly." stated Natasha.
"Ok. Then let's finish the wedding functions. Then we can eat before you head over to the Makwana Mansion." said Daama
"What other functions are left." asked Natasha
"Did you play any games when you had your grah pravesh before?" asked Daama
"No. I was given a stove." answered Natasha
Daama shook her head. "No wonder you guys had a hard time. There was no enjoyment. After the wedding, we played games. The ring game, finding your name in the mendhi, etc.. No matter Isha, get a bowl with milk, and Mithu, go grab my jewelry bag with your Rishita Ma'sjewelryy."
Quickly, Daama organized a small game for the bride and groom to enjoy before feeding them. Afterward, Dhawal was getting phone calls from Amrish, and finally, Dhawal answered.
"Mots, we are on our way. I came to pick up Natasha from Pandya Niwas. I started to visit Isha, and I forgot the time. We be there soon." Dhawal hung up the phone and looked towards Natasha
"Natasha, we need to hide the marriage from Amrish Bhai and Ma. Just until we expose Amrish Bhai."
"Not a problem. I have experience in that already." stated Natasha
Everyone looked at her questionly.
"Before, Dhawal, remember when you thought my forehead was bleeding. It was my sindoor. I had started to wear my sindoor in my hair, so it didn't show in my hairline. And as for my mangalsutra, I can wrap around my wrist."
"Perfect. Let's go before they start to get suspious. And Isha, not one word to Ma, " said Dhawal.
Isha agreed as Dhawal and Natasha started to leave. "Chiku, I will keep in touch. If you find out anything, let me know. And I will do the same, " said Dhawal as they left Pandya Niwas.
