After some time, Ryan visits the shop and after assuring that it is the only shop in the village which sells statues, he describes the appearance of the statue to the thief's wife who is in the shop. He gets to know that the statue was taken away by the woman he stopped on the road. At that moment, Soysa also visits the shop and gets to know about what happened there. Ryan goes to Niluka's place and they both gets fond of each other. Meanwhile, Soysa also goes there and has a conversation, lying to Niluka that the statue is a cursed one. He meets Silva when he comes outside and both of them agree to work together to take the gem. Silva also tells to Niluka, her father and brother that the statue will prevent Niluka from getting married. Afterwards Soysa, Ryan and Silva quarrel to take the gem. The statue is broken in the quarrel but they do not find any gem in the pot. However Niluka's brother also searches for a girl to marry and Soysa proposes his elder daughter to him. His wife Samanalee confesses that Soysa ran after the gem to get his two daughters' marriages done. Niluka's brother agrees to hold the wedding at his expense.
