Once there was a king 29 April 2022: Rani cries Raja’s name, she looks up to complain the God. There was a mosque nearby, and call for prayer. An old man passing by comes to see Raja and says now only Peer Baba can save him. Rani prays inside a tomb. The men there take her outside, she notices her missing mangal sooter and cries she asked him to go away but not so far. Inside, the old man tells Rani his poison is going, but she needs to put this herbal ointment over his body. Rani asks if he will be fine. The old man recalls Rana ji bringing Gayatri here, and asks Rani to pray whole heartedly. There was a man 20 years ago who brought his wife, not the medicine but his prayers made her well.
In the palace garden, Jeewan, Meenu and Raaj Mata wonder where Rani must have taken Raja. Bindu was worried that the snake was very poisonous, how must Raja be. They all suspect her, Jeewan questions how she know it’s poisonous, then consoles Raaj Mata.
Rani puts the medicine all over Raja’s body, and cries praying for him. An old lady was carrying a huge bag of vegetables whom Rani helps. The old lady tells Rani if someone prepares food with own hands and feed people here, even dead get live. Rani prepares food in the kitchen and serves the people there. A lady blesses her for her husband, Raja opens his eyes gradually. Rani faints while kneading of flour. He wakes up and turns to leave, the old men stop him as he is weak.
Raja says he has hurt the girl a lot, but she saved his life; he needs to go to apologize her. The old man prays for their pure love. Raja was about to walk over nail bed, a man stops him but Raja says may be along with blood, his sins also wash away. His feet bleed as he walks on, Raja only remember about himself with Bindu and Rani being angry with him.
Rani comes there, screaming at him and drags him down the nail bed. She cries asking if he is in his senses, she is saving his life, and he is only after losing it. She cleans the blood off his feet on a side, while crying badly. She shouts at him if he is crazy, he has swear to tease her; she would be hurt if he is in pain. Raja holds her arm at once, and stares into her eyes and cries in front of her asking for apology. Rani hugs him tightly. She cries, happily forgiving him and confess her love for him. Both cry, Raja cups her face and kiss her forehead.
Bindu was worried where Rano took Raja. Jeewan says that Raja doesn’t need her, as Rani can take care of him. Bindu says had Rani loved him, she wouldn’t leave him.
There, Rani asks why he broke her heart. Raja explains he wasn’t in his senses, but when he woke up he couldn’t meet eyes with himself. Rani says if Raja is not there, there won’t be Rani. She has always loved him, and has forgiven him.
Rani brings shirt for Raja, he forwards his hand to her, she smiles while helping him. He holds her closer and asks to stay silent for a while, and hugs her. Rani reminds him of food getting colder. Raja complains she is being a true wife now. She touches her nose with him, and feed him with her own hand, he bites her hand as well. He shuts her eyes, and put a green chilli in her mouth, then runs outside. In the corridor, Rani comes to help him while a cloth from the dargah covers them. Rani happily hugs Raja. Bindu had just arrived and watch then closer, Jeewan stops her saying he would no more let her ruin Raja and Rani’s happiness.
At the dargah, Raja and Rani pray together. A little boy tells them about a prayer, they must write their wish on a paper and put it inside the mud pot; then drink water. Raja had no money, so Rani gives her ring in return of the pot. Both were writing their wishes, Raja peeks into Rani’s letter at which Rani stops him. Both smile towards each other. They put the chits together and hang the pot over a tree, and walk together. Raja takes a moment from Rani, he goes to take blessings from the old man, and return to Rani promising to be a husband she wants. He would get all the happiness for her and Dadu. Rani says she would wait for a day when they will begin a new life.
At home, Amrita and Meenu were worried as there has been no news from Bindu and Jeewan as well. Raja and Rani return; Amrita was elated. Raja gives all the credit to Rani. Rani says she has done this all for herself and her husband. Amrita was cheerful, and thanks her for giving another chance to Raja. Raja heads to leave with Amrita, and asks Rani to take care of himself. Rani hands his medicines, and instructs to take them in time. Meenu was happy for Rani, Rani says that her parents also went on a mazaar where they began their new life, and there she thought she must trust her love which she can’t let broken by anyone.
In the palace, Bindu and Bari Rani Maa were arguing. Bindu accuses Bari Rani Maa for bring responsible for snake bite. She has been helping her to get Raja, not to lose him forever. In the way, Raja finds the men taking new posters for election contests with Bindu’s photos. He was enraged when he enters and finds Bindu attacking Bari Rani Maa. She shouted at Bari Rani Maa she sacrificed everything for Raja, she cried if she has no right over happiness. Bari Rani Maa stood fearful on the staircase. Bindu fell off the stairs, Raja comes to help her. Bindu goes to cut her arms with a knife, Raja holds her in his arms.
She weakly says she is happy at least she is dying in front of him, and goes unconscious. Raja holds her.
Rani was praying in the temple, she finds her mangal sooter lying there. Raja had promised her to be a husband she wish for, and puts her mangal sooter in the bag. Meenu comes praying for her friend’s new life. They hug each other.
Jeewan and Meenu were walking beside Rani when they read a banner of Bindu’s contest in elections. Bindu walks from front, with Raja beating drum for her. They come to a confrontation, Rani looks towards Raja with complaining eyes. Bindu wish Rani good luck that she would direly need, as her good luck charm is with her now.
A tear fell off Rani’s eyes, Raja drops the sticks and runs behind her. He stops Rani in the way and requests her to hear his reason. He was angry when he came to know Bindu was contesting in elections, but she cut her wrists. He scolded her while in bed, she said she understands he has no place for her and only cares for his Rani. She wants to contest the elections now, but he is disagrees she would withdraw her name. She would leave this house, and as she sat up she fainted again. She weakly asked if he would be with her, she has no one by her side. Raja says he never knew she would get so crazy, but what if she attempts a suicide again would they both be happy again?
Raja tells Rani that he can’t leave Bindu alone. Rani asks what had happened that day. There, Bindu’s friend calls her crazy to have cut her veins of hands. Bindu recalls her talk with Bari Rani Maa that this will bring her close to Raja and part Raja and Rani away. Raja shares with Rani that he remember after an argument with her he drank but only a bit, he was emotional and spoke to Bindu about her. Rani looks towards Bindu and crosses his way, Bindu stops her saying Rani has always left Raja alone, and now Raja belongs to her only. She won’t leave him alone now. Rani boasts that Bindu can never take her place, there was a misunderstanding between them in childhood as well, and their love would beat hatred this time as well.
They are connected at souls and are inseparable.At the dinner table, Raja sat lost in his thoughts. Bindu offers to feed him with his own hands, Rani comes announces his feet are injured not hands. She walks towards Raja and wants to speak to Raja. He gives his hand in hers. Everyone follow them to the temple room, Rani forwards her mangal sooter, and asks if he is ready to take his Rani back in his life, and spend his life with her. Raja asks if after all this but she shuts his mouth, it was a storm that finally passed over. Rani was elated as he puts in the mangal sooter around her neck, then sindoor in her head partition. Bari Rani Maa was hurt, while Amrita comes cheerfully towards them.
She was happy that her daughter has returned to her, and pray these hands always remain together. Raja says but… but Rani says there is a ‘but’ only where there is doubt. Now there is only trust. Bari Rani Maa wonders what miracle took place on the tomb that turned their hearts away. Rani takes Raja into the room in front of Bindu, and locks from inside. Raja wonders how Rani returned, Rani says he has been fulfilling his friendship with Bindu but she is fulfilling her love for them. She had vowed to accept him whole heartedly, but couldn’t understand its meaning. Today, she know she has to accept him with his short comings, she has realized he belongs to her and she can’t stay without him.
He holds her by shoulder, she backs up as she hasn’t allowed him to touch her. He must wait for some time when the trust has been developed. A servant brings in her luggage. Raja goes to complain a doll about her behavior. Both fight with cushions. Raja says her return has brought happiness back home. Amrita calls her for h er Dadu’s call. Raja thinks he promise that Rani would always stay happy now.
On the call, Rani assures Dadu that she is fine. Amrita comes to her asking how her heart turned after whatever happened. Rani says she realized yesterday, it may be a trap. After that night, Bindu has become a lioness, while Raja has shattered.
She suspect Bindu’s trap behind this all. Amrita says may be, but she is sure nothing can hurt her Raja when Rani is there. Rani was sure not to trust her enemies anymore, her parent’s story won’t be repeated.Jeewan stops Rani in the corridor and questions why she forgave Raja after what he did. Rani says their friendship only allow him to be with her but not question her private matters. Raja calls her from downstairs, she was elated to see Raaj Mata. Raaj Mata hugs rani, while Bari Rani Maa was worried recalling Raaj Mata in her old attire. Raja announces that Raaj Mata is Amirkot’s Raaj Mata, her place is in the palace. Amrita brings an aarti, as she has returned home after year’s long exile.
Tears fell off Raaj Mata’s eyes, while Bari Rani Maa’s head bang badly. Raja and Rani brings Raaj Mata inside to the seat of throne. Raaj Mata traditionally keeps her foot over the stool. Bari Rani Maa was broken.
