Madhuparna defends Emon as her lawyer, and after Nurse Ratnabali is proven guilty, Emon is released. Emon and Rono finally resolve their differences and relocate themselves to [[Kolkata]] returning to the Chatterjee House.

Roopkatha grows jealous and agitated over Emon's happy and peaceful life, which she herself yearns for, having no children of her own. She acts out and to pacify her Emon gives her daughter Pekhom's charge to Roopkatha, who quickly becomes over-possessive of Pekhom. Krishnamoy too arrives, having been released from jail, to take his son Michhil back with him, leaving Rono brokenhearted.

Emon plans a family trip during which Badshah suffers a [[heart attack]] and suddenly dies. A desolate Roopkatha blames Emon. Roopkatha attempts suicide but is rescued by Rono. After Roopkatha is diagnosed with [[major depressive disorder|severe depression]], Rono stands by her to help her recover as she begins to seek him as the loved one to fill in her loneliness.

Rono's family wants Roopkatha out of the house to avoid any further tensions but Rono dismisses the idea. Emon and other family members feel insecure due to Rono's growing proximity towards Roopkatha, and everyone suspect them of having an affair. A mentally unstable Roopkatha assumes herself to be pregnant and believes it to be Rono's child leading a heart-broken Emon to leave the house with Pekhom and working overtime to make ends meet. It is revealed that Roopkatha is not pregnant and instead has a tumour in her uterus that poses a threat to her life. Roopkatha struggles to accept the fact and is finally made to the leave the Chatterjee house for her own betterment so that she can start her life afresh. Emon and Rono, however, remain separated.

=== Epilogue – Five Years Later ===
Five years later, Roopkatha, now a college professor, meets Emon, now a successful doctor, to invite her to her wedding. Later, she meets Rono who has abandoned living with his family as well, to discuss her marriage preparations. Secretly, Roopkatha plans to reunite Emon-Rono by remarrying them on the day of her wedding and their twelfth marriage anniversary. Meanwhile, Emon receives the ''Konya Rotno'' award. Emon, as per Roopkatha's request, manages to bring the Chatterjees to Roopkatha's wedding, much to their distaste, as all assume that Roopkatha is marrying Rono. However, Roopkatha surprises everyone by introducing Alok as her groom.

Emon and Rono have an emotional confrontation, marking their reunion, sorting out all their differences. His family members also realise his innocence and reunite with him, welcoming him and Emon back into their family.

==Background and production==

===Development===

Screenwriter Leena Gangopadhyay<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ebela.in/entertainment/interview-of-leena-ganguly-1.603728|title=নিজের খেয়ালে দুম করে কোনও শো ছেড়ে দেওয়া আমার মতে একটা ক্রাইম|website=ebela.in|language=bn|date=27 April 2017}}</ref> who has previously written down the script for [[Bengali language|Bengali]] TV shows like [[ETV Bangla]]'s long-running drama series ''Sonar Horin'' and another daily soap ''[[Binni Dhaner Khoi]]'', [[Zee Bangla]]'s partition-themed love saga ''[[Keya Patar Nouko]]'', and [[Star Jalsha]]'s serials ''[[Ishti Kutum]]'' and ''[[Jol Nupur]]''; developed the central idea for ''Kusum Dola'', whose premise was initially based on a [[love triangle]].<ref name = "Reel versus real:" />

She made the main female protagonist, tentatively named ''Shimul'', a village girl who is bright in her studies and quite upfront by nature. Circumstances force the girl to marry a man (the lead hero), who is previously committed to another woman (the third main lead). The story follows the man's story to get over his feelings for the other woman and how he finally falls in love with the heroine (Shimul). Ganguly decided to have the backdrop of an extended family, and had the other woman (named ''Roopkatha'') marry the hero's brother and live in the same house as the hero (named ''Rono'').<ref name = "Sudip is my discovery">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/behind-the-lens/sudip-my-discovery-of-year-leena-gangopadhyay-170624|title=Sudip is my discovery of this year: Leena Gangopadhyay|website=tellychakkar.com|date=24 June 2017}}</ref>
