Pandya Store 5th December 2023 Written Update Natasha shatters. The doctor contacts Dhawal, informing him that Natasha can now be discharged from the hospital as her bills have been taken care of. Dhawal hurries to the hospital, but upon arrival, he finds that Natasha has already paid the bills herself. As Dhawal approaches her, Natasha shuts and locks the door. Suman reminisces about her sons every morning when she goes to Pandya Store, feeling their presence with her. She recalls how they would always come to the store’s aid, even at the risk of their own lives. Overwhelmed with emotion, Suman tearfully begs for forgiveness from them as she watches Pandya Store being demolished. Dhawal pleads with Natasha to open the door, but she refuses and begins to feel faint. Despite crying helplessly, Natasha is determined not to allow Dhawal inside.
On the other side of the door, Dhawal reiterates to Natasha that they need each other. Both of them continue to cry. He offers to pay the bill and come back for her. However, he is surprised when he finds out that Natasha has already taken care of it. Despite struggling to walk, Natasha insists on leaving the hospital on her own. As she starts making her way out, Dhawal tries to stop her and asks where she is going. But Natasha ignores him completely.
Concerned about her health, Dhawal decides not to argue with her and follows carefully behind her. Eventually, he manages to catch up with her and asks why she’s going back to Pandya House. Unwilling to talk about it, Natasha ignores his question once again. As they reach Pandya House, Suman suggests Chiku start a new stall for rent just like how Dhara had done in the past to rebuild Pandya Store. Mittu expresses disappointment over Natasha’s actions and says things could have been handled differently if she had only informed them beforehand. Despite this, Suman continues to stand by Natasha’s side and support her.
As Chiku cheers on Mittu and Shesh, Natasha watches them from outside. He gives Shesh candy and words of encouragement, then joins Suman to sing and make her smile as well. The Pandyas share an emotional group hug. Suman also enjoys a piece of candy while Natasha watches from the door. Feeling disheartened, Natasha sits near the ruins of Pandya Store and remembers Dhara’s words about the store being more than just a shop – it is an emotion. She recalls her mother’s assurance that if she ever suffers in the future, Pandya Store will provide her security and become her backbone. She embraces the pillar that she used to hit with a stick and leaves her handprint on it.
Natasha begins placing the bricks, lost in thoughts of Dhawal’s proposal and his assurance to always provide for her family. The wall of bricks tumbles down, and Natasha’s mind returns to their disagreement over obtaining signatures on the documents. Once more, the bricks crumble. Natasha sobs while Dhawal arrives at the scene, feeling just as powerless. He watches over Natasha from his spot on the opposite side of the wall, without revealing himself. The episode concludes with both Natasha and Dhawal sitting on opposite ends of a pillar at Pandya Store.
