Dadisa comes to Arnav.

Dadisa: If all the tribal people are against a decision of the tribal head then he has to listen to the welfare of the people. It is a great surprise for us that you have stepped in our land and things started to change. You are our only hope. We need the villagers. That is how we will get to earn.

Khushi then thinks of something and decides to ask her.

Khushi: But there are trade routes I discovered!! That shop! It is from the village. I am sure of that!

Dadisa was silent by now. Arnav looked on. Khushi says her experience.

Dadisa: What can we do about it even then? The tribal head must be knowing this!! Else he would have stopped it.

Khushi: What if the Tribal head is taking all the money?

Dadisa: Even if he does, we can't do anything about it.

Arnav: You just told that when all the tribal people are against something then we can protest about it and he will agree.

Dadisa: This can only be done before he takes a final decision. He had already warned us not to talk anything about the village. If we break those rules, then we are off to the caves!

Arnav: What nonsense!! Where do these rules come from?

Dadisa: You shouldn't say this mister! These are our tribal rules.

Arnav: And I am here to change it!!

Dadisa: I hope you do it but now we have to abide to the laws.

Soon the tribal head made a decision after the commotion reduced.

Tribal head: Akola has made a grave mistake with the help of this person(Arnav). But since everyone is persistent in keeping her. She can stay at the corner of Erola.

Soon everyone was happy and Khushi's mother took her alongwith. Arnav looked at the trio (Khushi, the old woman and her mother) going together. He then decides to go back to the thatched house.

Mallika comes to him and thanks him for giving a hope to her as well as the tribal people.

Mallika: None of the tribal members had this courage. When you spoke in support of Khushi Bhabhi that day, everyone got the courage that when a villager has this much courage, then it is possible for them to show it as well. Many actually dislike the tribal head. I somehow feel that the tribal head still has connection with the villagers for trade.

Arnav: That is a known fact. We can't change it!

Mallika: No!! We can!!! The tribe always believes the tribal head. If they follow a rule, the tribal head should also follow the rules. Otherwise, they will kill him and make a new tribal head.

Arnav: So nobody knows about the trade routes is it?

Mallika: Some may and some may not! But it should be presented as a fact to them. Most of them haven't been to the shop and most of them might think that it is from this land. So they need a proof that the artifact belongs to the village and about the trade routes.

Arnav thinks and looks on.

"""In Jagmanpur"""

Akash keeps getting flashes of the forest. He didn't know why. He now knew that Khushi is the daughter of Akola. But why is he getting flashes like this. He remembers why he felt different in that temple. He keeps wondering how all of these could be connected?

He thinks of paying a visit to the temple. He has to do that as well. Before that, he will not leave from here. He has to find a way to open the door. Though he remembered his di telling him that any other person who tries to open the door apart from the true tribal will die instantly. He thinks of at least paying a visit there. He knew that it would be locked but he went to see at least the outer part. Soon he walks to the temple. As soon as he reaches there at the footstep of the temple, the priest stopped him (The other priest who does the pooja).
