It felt as if a cataclysm had descended upon the courtyard of the Junagarh palace. Seeing Sushila's vile behavior and Arohi's fierce form, the invited guests stood as still as stone statues. As Sushila was being dragged away by Arohi's command, a single uproar rose from all around—"The sinner shall be impaled! Junagarh will finally be freed from this stain!" But hidden behind this order was a deep strategy known only to Aditya, Arohi, and the loyal General.
In truth, Arohi knew that killing Sushila right now wouldn't be enough atonement for her sins. Moreover, she did not want anyone's blood to be spilled on the palace grounds on this holy day of celebration. Therefore, the General was secretly instructed to spread the word outside that Sushila had been impaled, while in reality, she would be kept prisoner in a secret, pitch-black cell where even sunlight could not enter. There, she would suffer the consequences of her deeds bit by bit, yet no one outside the palace would know of her existence.
As Sushila was being led through that secret tunnel, she was still gnashing her teeth. However, the General gagged her so tightly that her poisonous insults could no longer reach the outside. Hidden from everyone's sight, she was thrown into that dark abyss. Outside, the subjects cheered, thinking that sin had been destroyed. But the royal family knew that while a great storm had calmed for now, the danger had not entirely vanished.
Arohi washed the bloodstains from her hands and, having calmed down, returned to the hall. Her face no longer held that rage; instead, it radiated a magical serenity. She picked up Prabhasha in her arms. Prabhasha was still trembling with fear, her eyes filled with tears. Wiping her tears and kissing her forehead, Arohi said, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart. The wicked witch has been sent away. She will never be able to touch you again." Prafulla and Snigdha also came to stand by their sister's side. Prafulla said in a firm yet encouraging tone, "Is our sister really this weak? Come on, now the real celebration begins!"
At Aditya's signal, the music began to play once more. This time, however, the melody was much more solemn and joyous. Everyone wanted to erase that filthy chapter of Sushila from their hearts. Platter after platter of food was arranged again in the palace courtyard. Sweets and food were distributed in abundance to the subjects. With God as her witness, Arohi once again fed cake and kheer to Prabhasha. The entire palace shimmered in the light of a new life.
The guests were departing one by one, but their lips were filled with praise for Arohi's courage. The stars over Junagarh seemed to shine a little brighter that night. Arohi stood by the window and glanced once toward the dark dungeon. She said to herself, "Sushila, you thought you would break my home? Look, today my children and my husband are so happy with me. Your envy and venom ended up destroying you instead." In the midnight silence, only the breath of peace drifted through the Junagarh palace. Prabhasha fell into a deep, secure sleep between her two elder siblings, while Arohi and Aditya held hands, dreaming of a new tomorrow.
