Shyam: Are you guys the only filthy people to blackmail me? It's my turn now! If you tell everyone about this, then your secret is out.

Anjali had her nerves and body shaking. Soon the doorbell rings. Anjali wipes her tears and opens the door. Mami and Mamaji come and ask why Anjali is sad. She says she misses Chote and they come and head straight to their room.

Soon after sometime, everyone goes to sleep.

Akash wasn't able to sleep as he twists and turns remembering what Anjali told him about the door and the priest. He was sweating badly. The story about the door and the bell inside it is giving him chills in spine. He should be going there and meeting Ratanlal. Suddenly he gets reminded of the light that came in the forest. What was in that forest that he felt so connected to? He soon remembers the DNA test that he had given to the doctor. He said he will post it. But what if he was not there in the house at that time? He then thought it would be wise enough to tell Anjali about this. After all, she is his blood sister. He knew that a secret told to Anjali remains a secret. Soon, he senses Arnav and Khushi in danger and gets sweat all over his body. He badly wanted to go to Jagmanpur and see if they are okay and also have a conversation with Ratanlal about the door. He has to get the truth out of him. He remembers Payal also wanting to see Khushi and telling him over the phone today that she will be accompanying him if he goes to Jagmanpur. He thinks about whether or not to take her in this situation. He decides that he will be going to Jagmanpur tomorrow without anyone knowing about where he is going.

Soon it was morning,

Akash told Nani that he was going to Nainital for some days where Arnav was there to see a client. Though he was partially correct that he was going to Arnav's place. Nani initially hesitated then agreed. Mami and Mama asked him to come soon and Mami had tears in her eyes. She felt that Akash was getting disconnected with her. Soon Akash takes Anjali to a corner.

Akash: Di.. Why are you sad?

Anjali was sad because of yesterday night's incident.

Anjali: Huh?? Nothing Akash, I am sad because I miss Chote.

Akash: Don't worry, I am only going to him!

Anjali: Huh? Akash, you forgot? You are going to Jagmanpur and Chote is in Nainital. I know the truth.

Akash: Huh...oh..yeah..right. Anyway you know that I am going to the village to meet Ratanlalji. But Di, I have given a DNA test. It will come in post.

Anjali: What? Okay. Ya you were saying that you will be taking the DNA test to prove that Mami is related to the baby in Payal's womb. So you are taking a DNA test of yourself and Payal right? 

Akash in his mind thought that not only because of that he is taking the DNA test. But he was suspicious about something else as well.
Akash: Yeah. If it comes please take it and keep it safe. I don't want anyone to know this. I will contact you from Thakur's house as the network is available only there. Please take care of the reports.

Anjali : Okay Akash. You too take care.

Akash: Bye di..

Soon he waved to everyone and vrooms off.

He reaches Payal's house and finds her ready with her luggage. He had told her to be ready soon and they are going to Jagmanpur. Payal wanted to see Khushi badly and had her luggage half packed as she knew that she was going to Khushi's place soon. Even if Akash didn't come with her, she was ready to go to Jagmanpur all alone. Garima and Shashi couldn't come because of Shashi's health and now he is in the recovering state. So they thought not to risk it.
