It had been months since the Makwana's had left Makwana Mansion.   Natasha kept in touch with her sister in laws for a while, but she slowly stopped.  It was hard hearing about Dhawal.  It was almost a year since Chiku stole their properties.   It was a year since she spoke to him properly. Soon after Makwana's left, it was discovered that Esha was pregnant.  She wanted to tell her family, but with the words spoken to them, she refused.  She made Natasha promise not to mention anything about her to the Makwana family.  

A month before she gave birth, Chiku and Daama passed away in an accident.  Esha shut down completely.   Sheesh and Mithu came back from Ahmedbad, where they were studying for the funeral.  They offered to stay, but Natasha told them to go back.   Natasha spoke to Esha and decided to get the property papers drawn up to return all the properties back to Amrish with a few exceptions.  Pranali's clinic was named under her.  And the farm house, she named under Chirag and Dhawal.    Esha also spoke to the lawyer to draw up papers but told Natasha it was for the baby's future.  

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  After she gave birth, Esha called Dhawal, asking for the family to meet her at the hospital.   

Dhawal saw Natasha after 6 months. She was beautiful.  He wanted to hug her immediately but kept his distance.  He had accomplished his goal of being independent from his brothers.   The Makwana brothers were all working independently from each other.   Pranali was working as a doctor.  Finally, Amrish, Bhavin, and Amba were letting go of their outdated ideas and rules.   It took some time as they kept on blaming the Pandya's until one day, the younger Makwana's snapped.

"What did you think was going to happen?  God watches.  And he was returning the favor?"  yelled Dhawal

"What do you mean?"  asked Amrish

"I mean, you did the same to Natasha with Pandya Store.  And since I've left Makwana Mansion, I have spoken to a lot of disgruntle people who happened to have one thing in common.  Amrish Bhai, you cheated plenty of people, and now you have gotten cheated."  said Dhawal

"And Ma, you need to stop blaming Natasha for everything.  She's been trying to get our properties  back."  said Chirag, shocking Amba

"Maa, I will warn you.  You need to stop your hatred of Natasha.  I am going to marry Natasha. Otherwise, I will never marry anyone, and I will leave again and never return.  And you will lose me completely.  The only reason I am back is Natasha and my Bhabi's"

"Maa, things need to change. Otherwise, you will lose everything?"  said Dolly

"Maa, what worked for you and Amrish Bhai doesn't automatically mean that works for us.  Amrish may want a housewife.  That works for him.  You force your way of thinking on Hetal Bhabi, and she accepts it because she loves you.  Bhavin, you don't have that option.   Pranali Bhabi doesn't follow you blindly.   She's knows from right and wrong.  And she's not afraid to say anything.   The only thing that stops her  is that you all blackmailed her with her family.    No longer.   Bhavin Bhai will have to figure out that by not letting Pranali Bhabi is going to hurt him in the end.  Why did you marry a doctor if you won't let her work.  You shouldn't project your insecurities onto your wife.  Sooner or later, you will lose her.  And then you will be the loser.  Because this orthodox thinking will only get you so far. Dolly and Chirag will be fine because they support each other.  I lost my Natasha.  But no longer.  I will win her back.  But I don't want a housewife.  I want Natasha.  She wants to work.  I am fine with that.  She's independent, strong, and fierce.  I want her by my side. I want my ladaku chidiya. I know that together, we will overcome any obstacles."  said Dhawal

"She doesn't even love you."  said Amrish

"She loves me.   She's hurt.  I know that!  No matter how hard we tried to stay away from each other, we always ended up together.   The scars on her soul will take time to heal.  The scars that I helped you put on her.  Even after she found out the truth about our marriage, she came back.  She told me that she hated me, but her actions only proved that she loved me.   Even now, she is trying to get the property back to us.  She's loves me.  She's only loved me.  She's a Pandya.  They only love once.  No matter how many times others try to break them up.  I love her and only her."  said Dhawal
