Inspector leaves saying he will check for Adi around the mountain.
Imlie shatters and cries. Aparna confronts her that she knew this would happen, she got her son killed via her dadda. She whisks her and shouts she killed her son. Family pulls her away and tries to console her. Malini tries to speak, but Anu stops her and tells Aparna that she should have accepted Imlie as bahu, now Imlie killed Adi when she didn’t get her right. Imlie shouts babusaheb is alive. Aparna warns she will kill Imlie if something happens to her son. Pankaj and Nishant pull her away and console her. Imlie walks to Seeta Maiya and says whatever dadda and inspector say, she cannot believe babusaheb is dead, why is Seeta Maiya playing with her. Mithi walks to her.
Imlie says she doesn’t know why dadda said this. Mithi says even she doesn’t know, why SK left village and came here. Imlie says she is very afraid. Malini says she should and if something happens to Adi, she will not spare Imlie’s family.

Aparna reciprocates and cries holding her tightly asking if her Adi will return. Imlie says he will.
