Lakhiya takes the ornaments home with him and shows them to his Mother and wife. Ramdei and Sona are mad with happiness. Lakhiya tells them that there are more gold ornaments in the field, along with other jewels, and that they should go and recover those jewels at night, without anybody seeing them. Sona dreams of how she would travel in the village, sitting in a cot and being borne by four people, much to the Thakurain's envy. Lakhiya wakes her up from her dreams and asks to hurry. They collect wicker baskets and shovels and hurry towards the field.

In Mangroo's house, Imarti is making rotis while Phulwa is eating. Mangroo asks Babu to sleep as it is late. Phulwa asks her Mother for another roti, which she hides in a basket, covered with a cloth, once Imarti turns to the other side. She again asks for roti and Imarti is surprised. She tells Phulwa that she has never eaten six rotis earlier. Mangroo admonishes Imarti and tells her not to count the rotis that the child eats; he adds that Phulwa must be super hungry nowadays with all the running around that she is doing. Phulwa drinks milk and is about to got with the basket when Imarti stops her. Phulwa tells her Mother that she is carrying flowers and incense in the basket and is going to offer it to the neem tree, since her sister is now happy and has settled down as well. She rushes out of the house; Mangroo tells Imarti that Phulwa seems to have forgotten about the scolding that she had received in the morning.

Phulwa goes to the field and offers food to the dacoit. He asks her whether she had got the food by telling lies; Phulwa replies that a small lie, intending to benefit someone, never does any harm. She then asks him about his identity and his family. The dacoit keeps quiet for a while and tells Phulwa that sometimes its better to forget the past and to move ahead. Phulwa asks him about his friend and tells that she could do anything for her friend Chunni. The dacoit tells her that once he also had a very good friend, and they were like one soul residing in two bodies. But then after some time, things changed and now they have drifted away. Phulwa asks him about his friend's whereabouts and offers to go and speak to him and make things different again. The dacoit nods in the negative when they suddenly hear some sound coming from the field.

Both of them see Lakhiya and his family digging the field and taking out all the ornaments, and nearly going mad in the process. Both Phulwa and the dacoit laugh a lot at Lakhiya and his family's idiocy when Phulwa suddenly becomes serious. He tells the dacoit that since Lakhiya has taken away all the ornaments, this would mean that the dacoit would lose his ornaments forever. The dacoit assures Phulwa that there is magic associated with the ornaments and that he would get them back soon.

The next morning, Sona goes to Mangroo's house where Imarti is using the machine to cut grasses for fodder while Babu is studying, sitting on the cot. Sona tries to engage Imarti into a conversation and requests her not to treat her badly, since she did what her family members asked her to do. Imarti tells her, in a no-nonsense style, that there's no point in harping about the past now that her child was happy. Sona tries to flaunt her new jewellery in front of Imarti. At that time, Phulwa returns home with a pile of firewood on her head. Sona walks to Phulwa and tells her in a disguised fashion, that although Champa is settled now, yet good things happen to good people – as a result of which she has got the jewellery. She then pulls Phulwa's cheeks in a rude fashion and walks away. Phulwa thinks that Sona will learn the real lesson pretty soon.

Sona and Ramdei, goes to the market, riding in separate rickshaws and wearing the jewelleries. They try to show off their ornaments and even ask the Panditji to do some puja so as to ward off evil eyes. Ramdei gives a Rs. 500 note to the Panditji as dakshina. The Pandit is surprised, but Sona tells him that people with a big heart can only offer bigger notes.

In the haveli, the Thakurs are speaking with the Police Officer who has come to inform them that the ornaments from the temple in the village has been robbed the previous day, and that the news of the robbery has been published in all newspapers. The Sr. Thakur tells the PO that it is indeed a shame and that the robbery would not have taken place if the ornaments had been entrusted to the Thakurs for safekeeping. At that moment, Lakhiya comes to the haveli and greets the Thakur. He then gifts him a pair of shoes; the Thakur asks him whether it is his birthday that day. Lakhiya tells him that he bought it for the Thakur as it is, and not for any occasion.

Seeing the PO there, Lakhiya asks whether everything is fine. The Thakur tells him about the robbery and also shows him the newspaper. Looking at the photos, Lakhiya is upset and agrees to help the Police find the culprit. He goes away immediately; the Thakur tells the PO that he wants the culprit in front of him before the end of the day.

Lakhiya rides fast to his house, but finds it locked. He then heads straight to the market. Sona and Ramdei visit a newspaper stall where Sona asks for a film magazine. Ramdei asks her why she is wasting time and money on such things. Sona tells her that people who have money, usually purchases such magazines and it raises there standard of living. They are busy going through the magazine, when a police jeep comes to the market and the constable comes to the same stall and asks for a copy of the day's newspaper. He tells the vendor that the Goddess' jewellery have been stolen from the temple; Phulwa hears the same and is perplexed remembering her rakhi brother saying that the ornaments belonged to him. Lakhiya reaches the market and calls out for Sona, but stops when he sees the police there.

Precap – Phulwa is crying and tells the dacoit that she won't support his wrong doings. The dacoit reminds her that it is she who had said that small lies could be said if it's for anybody's benefit.
