The two merchants break the promise and inform José María, the city's tailor, about the presence of the supposed Indian ambassador.
José María makes him distinctive Indian costumes, and that night a dinner is held in his honor where Jaime meets Silvia, the Governor's daughter, with whom he falls in love.
At dinner they offer him the typical regional dishes-mostly beef, pork and chicken- but Jaime decides not to eat anything since he knew that a good part of the people of India are vegetarians due to their Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
In the early morning, the authorities notice the ambassador's escape and believe that he may have been kidnapped, but then Jaime arrives at the hotel with a strong hangover after drinking the night before.
When it is Silvia's time, Jaime confesses his love for her and they begin to have a passionate moment, until the governor's wife arrives and she finds them.
Despite being in love with Silvia, that night Jaime meets Almícar again at the Termales de Rivera and tells him that it is time to end the deception.
The next day, the governor and the local authorities plan to take the ambassador to a cultural picnic in the most prominent places in the Huila department, so they leave early and do not allow time for Almícar to deliver the telegram.
The next day and first thing in the morning, the entire entourage begins the trip back to Neiva, but upon arriving at the hotel, they meet the former colleague, who had taken advantage of the ambassador's absence to enter the room and find his documents to prove the whole deception.
