Susheela orders MM to get out of her house. MM obeys. SB and J shriek "What will happen now Swami?" K replies -Whatever is destined will happen
SUdama finishes his prayers and hears the murali of MM (Incidentally why is MM holding the flute in front of his mouth like a pipe piper and not horizontally?) Sudama requests that K stop doing chores in their house. K replies that he has stopped it since his malkin ( using the English word 'mistress' here will have a different connotation altogether š) has ordered him to leave. Sudama invites K into his hut. Sudama washes K's feet and does aarti. Heart overflowing with devotion the bhakta falls at the Lord's feet. K raises Sudama up and asks him to be brave since there are more troubles in store for him. K asks him to be calm and keep faith in him (Krishna).
Susheela goes to wake Mohan up only to find that the poor boy is running high fever.She tries to reduce the fever by placing cold strips. The fever continues to rise. She asks the maids to fetch the doctor.
Sudama prepares kheer and offers it to Krishna. K accepts it but looks perturbed. Sudma asks the reason for his pertubation. K instead of replying directly, merely advises Sudma to continue to repose faith in him and ensure that at no cost whatever, is his faith ever shaken. Now Sudama looks perturbed but folds his hands and bows.
The doctor arrives at Mohan's sickbed but says he can do nothing. Susheela is shocked but arrogantly asks how much money he wants. The doctor sagely replies that if Money were the cure for all ills then no rich man would have ever died. Susheela throws a bag of coins at the doctor's feet and orders him to save her child. The doctor nods his head and syas Susheela can call a better doctor but as of now he has no cure for the boy's fever.
Susheela orders her maids to call the Raj Vaidya and inform him that if necessary she will fill his (raj Vaidya's)house with money, but he should come immediately.
Sudama notices the Vaidya coming out of his house. Sudama who was so far blissfully ignorant asks the vaidya the reason for his visit. Vaidya informs Sudama that Mohan was very sick and he can do nothing and he had advised Susheela to get a more experienced Doctor
Sudama looks at K playing the flute and says now I understand why you were so disturbed. You made my pain your pain. Sudma goes inside Susheela's house. He is distraught to see his son's condition. He is worried that Mohan may not even survive till the Raj Vaidya comes.Sudama suggests that they pray to Krshna. Susheela is shocked and angrily asks him to get out.
