Pandya Store 21st December 2023 Written Update: Natasha and Dhawal fall in trouble

The episode begins with a group of tribal people warning college students not to venture to the other side of the forest and to stay inside their tents until 5 am. Isha serves coffee to everyone, and Amba suggests that she should rest since she will be leaving them in a few days after her marriage. Isha receives a call from Chiku, which Dolly informs Amba about. Dolly mentions that Natasha and Dhawal are at the same camp together, and their unpredictable nature might lead to a change of mind. Isha considers Chiku to be foolish for repeatedly calling her when she is ignoring his calls. She makes excuses and goes to talk to him.

Amresh becomes suspicious and wants to follow her, but Amba advises him to first call Dhawal and ask him to return home. Dhawal sleeps outside the tent but feels scared. The tribal people notice him and tell him to go inside and sleep. However, Dhawal ignores their advice and continues sleeping there. Natasha also wakes up upon hearing the howls of animals and remembers the warning from the tribes. She goes outside and accidentally falls on Dhawal, startling him. Natasha thinks she cannot admit her fear to him, as he might tease her.

Natasha suggests that they both sleep inside the tent because if something happens to Dhawal, his family will blame her. However, Dhawal refuses to go inside the tent with her. Coach arrives and scolds them for being outside in such a dangerous situation. Natasha explains that she has been asking Dhawal to go inside. The Coach warns Dhawal to go inside immediately, or else he will receive a suspension letter. They quickly go inside the tent and cover themselves with blankets to drown out the haunting noises.

Meanwhile, Isha meets Chiku and asks him why he has been calling her so many times. He reveals that he has come to answer her question and proceeds to make her wear Dhara’s bangles. He then proposes to Isha for marriage. Natasha is unable to sleep, and Dhawal teases her about it. She mentions needing to use the bathroom but cannot go outside until 5 am due to the villagers’ warning. Dhawal dismisses it as superstition and urges her to go, warning that she might fall sick. He mocks her for being scared and refuses to accompany her. Natasha asserts that she has the courage to go alone and gets up to leave the tent. Dhawal secretly watches her from under his blanket.

Natasha goes outside and cautiously surveys her surroundings. Amresh informs Amba that Dhawal’s call is not going through and suggests that they should be more concerned about Isha, who went outside to take a call. Dhawal realizes that Natasha has been gone for a while and decides to go out and find her. Natasha becomes frightened when she sees a ball coming towards her and starts running away. Dhawal continues walking deeper into the forest and fails to notice Natasha. Natasha spots a dead deer and breaks down in tears. Eventually, Dhawal finds her and rushes to her side. He embraces her as she trembles with fear. Soon after, both of them find themselves tied up. The episode concludes with Amresh arriving in the garden area where Isha and Chiku are.

Precap: Dhawal contemplates how he can leave Natasha after she saved him, but he wonders how to make Amresh understand. Amresh questions Dhawal if he regrets leaving Natasha, to which Dhawal agrees. Amresh permits him to bring Natasha back home with one condition.
