It had been a month since Esha married Chiku, and Dhawal forced Natasha into marriage again.

Natasha was so angry with Dhawal that she refused to live in the Makwana Mansion. Besides, Amba had Suhani visit so often that it seemed that she lived at Makwana Mansion.

It had been a month since the weddings, when Dhawal found out that Arvind and Rahul were arrested by the Police for multiple offenses.

He came home and called everyone down. Then, he explained what he had found out. Both Arvind and Rahul were in lockup. Suhani and her mother left town before they could be questioned by the police. Amba looked shocked. "If Esha had married Rahul, her life would have been destroyed."

"Yes, Ma. We were saved from making a mistake. It seems that we always make mistakes when it comes to Natasha and her family. They always save us from some problems even after destroying them. I destroyed our relationship because I listened to you, Mots. I should have never listened to you. I don't want a life like yours. I want Natasha as my wife. Then, due to your tricks, she hated me. So, I filed for an annulment. I was hoping until the last minute that she wouldn't sign the agreement. Then, when we were having the wedding functions, I couldn't see myself getting married to Suhani, and I forced her to get married to me, citing Esha and Dhawal wedding as a cause. But I did it for myself. I can't see myself without her, nor can I see anyone with her." stated Dhawal

"Who did I trust? I trusted them with my family, my business?" stated Amrish

"What? What do you mean business?" asked Bhavin

"They invested in the mall. Bhavin, I need you to go through all the transactions and return all investments back to them. Chirag, I need you to write up a statement stating that we have nothing to do with the Malhotra family and their legal battles. Dhawal, let's go to Pandya Niwas and apologise to the family. And bring Natasha home." stated Amrish.

Amrish, Amba, and Dhawal left to go to Pandya Niwas. When they arrived there, they were shocked to see that Natasha and Chiku were hurt, bandaged, and bruised up. Suman let them thru as they were still their inlaws, but she was very reluncted.

"What happened to the both of you?" asked Dhawal as soon as he saw them.

"Your friends, Arvind Malhotra and his son, Rahul. I guess they weren't too pleased that we found out about the poaching and illegal sales of exotic animals. People don't like it too much. If they are caught doing illegal things, they like to eliminate the problem. I guess we were the problem. But I guess that's bad luck for you. If we had died, your problem would have been eliminated-" explained Natasha

"How dare you say those things! I would never wish that on you or Chiku. You are my wife, damn it!" yelled Dhawal in her face.

"Step away from Chutki!" yelled Chiku.

"Everyone, let's calm down. We didn't come here to fight." stated Amrish

"That's surprising." whispered Sheesh, though everyone heard.

"Fine. Why are you here? We haven't heard from you since the wedding. Why now?" asked Suman.

"I'm sorry, Suman Bhen. I never had treated Natasha right since she first got married to Dhawal. I didn't want her as my daughter in law. I knew if she came into my family, she would unite the girls, and I would be left out. My rule would be over." stated Amba

Suman shook her head. "If I had known that this family is so orthodox, I would have never married my Chutki in this family. Parivaar is strong when everyone is united. You can control the family thru fear, but that only lasts so long. Family is strong when there is love to glue it together. And what I see is not that. I feel sorry for you and your family. If that is it, thank you for coming by-" said Suman
