Nutan: I named her Mallika and took care of her. The other villagers thought both her parents died and she comes from the neighbouring village, abandoned. She is in that filthy forest!! I don't know whether she is alive or not!! I took care as if she was my own kid. But..I wanted to get her married to Thakur. But I didn't want her to spoil her life as I knew about his nature. So I chose some other girl.

Akash: But your decision was selfish. If you knew about Thakur's situation, you shouldn't have tried spoiling Khushi's life either.

Nutan: To be honest, even if I decide to get Mallika married to the Thakur, it wouldn't have been possible as she went to the forest before Khushi arrived here. I was forced to take this decision. I had to have Khushi as my only choice. I know that I shouldn't have done this. But as a mother, I wanted him to settle and I knew...I knew..that Mallika wouldn't be back..

She breaks down again.

Akash (standing like a statue) : Is Thakur Sahab my cousin brother then?

Nutan nods. He now knew why he felt a connection with him. That day when he beat him, he felt like he was beating his elder brother. The same feeling he gets with Arnav. But here after her confession he knew that it is the same relation he has with Arnav. Thakur is his cousin. He now gets it why he felt so connected with this village.

Akash goes to Ratanlal's house like a statue. Nutan tries calling him but he doesn't turn back. Now he gets all the pieces of the puzzle. He is not Mamiji's son but Jyoti's son. He remembers his reaction why he felt it all different when Anjali told him about his mother's story. Every piece of his reactions are justified here. Even Payal's reaction as he guessed  is justified here. She fainted because it was the temple!! His child was reacting!! Akash is going to be the new Thakur of this village and he is the true tribal. He gets all his answers now. The loop problem is solved here! He is the true tribal who will be able to open the door and ring the bell. He is the possessor of the treasure. He is the saviour!!

Akash didn't know what to do. Then he gets the plan!! If he can ring the bell, then he can save Arnav and Khushi. Also, he can save Mallika.

"In RM"

Anjali gets a call and has the shock of her life.

Anjali(yelling at the top of her voice): SHYAM!!!!

Everyone came down hearing why she was shouting like this. The most important part is that she is calling "Shyam" instead of "Shyamji". What could the reason be?

Shyam too came along, with his heart thumping. Everyone were in hall.

Nani: What happened Anjali bitiya?

Anjali was eyeing Shyam.

Anjali (With tears forming in her eyes): Were you not in that hillstation hotel when we did that?

Shyam gulped. Raj was shocked. With the reaction Anjali was making, he was sure that she had found out the truth.

Anjali(gritting her teeth): Answer me Shyam!

Shyam looked down and gave a slight nod.

Anjali gave him a tight slap. Everyone was shocked. She went to Raj and slapped him as well. Everyone was even more shocked as Raj was their guest.

Nani: Anjali bitiya, why are you doing this to our Damadji and our guest.

Anjali(eyeing Raj fiercely): Just because your friend gave you the permission, you needn't do like this.

Dadi: Anjali bitiya.. What is happening? Please tell us clearly what happened? Why are you reacting like this?

Anjali (bellowing with tears): Shyam cheated me!!! He didn't sleep with me on the hillstation night!! It was Raj!!!
