Once there was a king 14 February 2022: Rana ji puts in Sindoor, Gayatri fell on floor. He leaves the hall. Gayatri was broken.Rajeshwari stood outside the palace with Avdesh’s coronation dust. She says that palace always wanted him to go away from her, but now she will live here always. She spreads the dust on the garden soil and says she will now punish both the murderers. Bari Rani Maa comes and says she liked it that her fire of revenge didn’t die with rounds. She tells Rajeshwari that she has got Rana ji but Gayatri hasn’t lost him.
The real revenge will be when Rana ji will forget even Gayatri’s name. She tells Rajeshwari that she must get close to Rana ji, she must do it on their wedding night. Rajeshwari boasts that no man could ever avoid her. She leaves. Bari Rani Maa thinks that she was wrong in her choice, she should have chosen her instead of Avdesh in the first place.Raaj Mata brings Gayatri to the room. Gayatri says Rajeshwari isn’t alone, there is someone helping her. This wedding is a deception and a bigger one. She leaves the room.
Rajeshwari received the gifts, Kokilla stood with her. Rajeshwari says to Gayatri that she was just about to call her, she says that Gayatri must not have forgotten Rana ji. It is her wedding night, and who can better tell her what her husband likes or not. Gayatri says if one drops his shoe, it is then that a thorn pricks the bare foot. Gayatri says Rana ji hates a lie the most, and her wedding is the biggest lie. Rajeshwari tells her to stop it. Gayatri says horses are controlled, lions aren’t. She says that she will disclose her truth in front of Rana ji. Rajeshwari asks Gayatri to look carefully that she is the wife of Rana ji now, Rana ji is only hers. Rajeshwari laughs and recalls the three vows of Rana ji.
She says to Gayatri that she is no more a wife of Rana ji, but a maid. If her husband doesn’t belong to Gayatri, she has no right to wear jewelry of his name. She snatches the jewelry off Gayatri’s forehead and hands. Swarna asks Rajeshwari to leave Gayatri, but Rajeshwari struggles to take the ring off. Gayatri smiles victoriously, she says she couldn’t separate the ring of Rana ji how she will separate Rana ji from her. She takes the ring off herself.
Gayatri says she hasn’t accepted any defeat, a bride is decorated with them but not made of them. A bride is made with love. Jewelry can be find in markets as well, love and devotion doesn’t.
Where will Rajeshwari get that? She says that Rajeshwari has snatched everything, but she can’t take the love she has in her heart for her husband. Gayatri says from today her life has only one aim, to bring her truth to Rana ji. Gayatri says as each of her lie come to Rana ji, she will wear her jewelry back. Gayatri leave the hall, comes to temple and brings her candles. She says she will light each candle with each promise that breaks. She promise Rajeshwari that with the lighting of third candle, Rana ji will be hers back.
She promises that in the next few days Rana ji will have only one wife, Rani Gayatri Devi. She says she will light the first candle when she will become a wife, the second when she will become Rani of Amirkot, and third when she will give an heir to Amirkot. She turns to face Rajeshwari determined.
Rajeshwari says it is her mistake, she shouldn’t have dealt with a maid. She tells Gayatri to go and prepare their wedding bed. Gayatri says she will comply with each of Rana ji’s promises. She congratulates Rajeshwari on her wedding. Rajeshwari thinks that her poison will speak through her husband’s tongue now.
At night, Gayatri decorated the room. Rana ji comes in, holds Gayatri’s hand and asks what she is doing. Rajeshwari was with him. Gayatri takes her hand off his and says she is complying with his promise. Rana ji says she had done a lot of promises, while taking seven rounds with him. He says if she couldn’t fulfil the requirements of a wife, why fulfil the promises made as a maid.
Rana ji says that this is all a game for Gayatri, she may win over Rajeshwari but he has lost. He painfully says he has lost everything.
He goes and gets a dress for Rajeshwari, saying this is her wedding night gift. Rajeshwari happily takes it. Rana ji says he wants her to wear it tonight. He asks Gayatri what she is doing here? He drags her out of the room, and pushes her away. He says her hands must not have shivered decorating the bed, but her soul will shiver. If questions remain unanswered, it becomes a burden. From today, she will also take this burden on her heart just the way he has held the burden of her secret. She would also not know what happened inside this room tonight. He slaps the door shut. Rajeshwari was excited, she goes towards the bed. Rana ji was badly hurt and cried.
Gayatri lay on her bed crying, as she opens her eyes from a night mare about Rana ji and Rajeshwari getting intimate. She says that she didn’t know she will have to pay so hugely for keeping a single secret.
There, Rajeshwari tries to get intimate with Rana ji, but he stands up, drags her ruthlessly and takes the bangle off her arm. He says taking the bangle from Gayatri’s hand doesn’t give her a right to wear it. Rajeshwari says she is his wife. Rana ji says he simply married her, so what? He still loves Gayatri, and it will live as a pain for him and Gayatri.
He says she must remember one thing, he gave this punishment to himself because he took life of an innocent. He says that beyond this marriage, they have a limit between them. She must not cross it. He says in this room his place is that couch that is her punishment. She says he had promised her an heir. He says he didn’t promise any time, and says time will end but her punishment will not.Gayatri cried on the bed, Rana ji thinks that today he gave her pain for the first time. He comes to his couch leaving Gayatri crying, and watches her bangle. Gayatri thinks about herself with Rana ji. Both were upset.
The next morning, Rajeshwari gets up and looks around asking how she came in. Bari Rani Maa says the important thing is why she came in. She curses Rajeshwari saying there is no bruise on her body, she scolds her for not being able to do. Rajeshwari says Rana ji didn’t look at her, Gayatri didn’t lose even after losing. Bari Rani Maa says Gayatri will win only when she will know about the truth. Rana ji will not say anything about it, the truth will be what she will say. Rajeshwari asks if Gayatri will accept what she would say. Bari Rani maa says they must make her belief, she hugs her and scratches her back.
Rajeshwari cries in pain. Bari Rani Maa says Gayatri will sure lose watching the symbols of love.Swarna and Gayatri walked in the corridor. Rajeshwari calls her and asks her to help her make her hair. Gayatri comes inside, Rajeshwari asks her to prepare for her massage as well. She says her friends said the beautiful a night is, the difficult a morning is. She calls Rana ji wild, and says they have met physically, now souls will meet too. Gayatri was lost, she comes out, trips down but Rana ji holds her. Raaj Mata watches their confrontation. Gayatri leaves crying.
Rana ji watches her bangle, and says he came to give what is hers, but she didn’t look back at him.On the breakfast table, Rana ji calls Gayatri for coffee, then stops watching Rajeshwari there. She prepares coffee for him. Rana ji says he only drinks coffee that Gayatri makes. Gayatri brings the cup, Rana ji takes it. He asks Gayatri to have a seat. Rajeshwari asks how he can ask Gayatri to sit, she is just a maid. Raaj Mata says Gayatri is Rana ji’s maid, because of Rajeshwari Rana ji and Gayatri’s relation broke not hers with Gayatri. Gayatri was never a daughter in law, only a daughter. Gayatri smiles, Rana ji too. Rajeshwari says to Rana ji that it is her she wants a crown ceremony.
Rana ji says crown ceremony is an expensive event, it isn’t needed. The last crown ceremony gave him enough lesson. Rana ji and Gayatri leaves.Rajeshwari was upset and says what kind of a Rani she can be without a crowd. Raaj Mata smiles and asks if she wants a crown? She sends Swarna to bring Haseena’s crown. Kokilla reassures if she really wants Haseena’s crown. Raaj Mata asks her to hurry up. Raaj Mata puts it on Rajeshwari’s head saying this is her crown.
Bari Rani Maa tells Rajeshwari that Haseena is another name for her, and a crown is actually the sindoor on her head. Kokilla brings the crown, Kunwar ji laughed, Bari Rani Maa watched curtly as Raaj Mata puts it over Rajeshwari’s head. Rajeshwari smells something bad, and asks what the odour is about. Bari Rani maa says this is Haseena’s crown, it will have an odour. Rajeshwari asks who is Haseena. Raaj Mata says she is the fastest horse of their stable, their family is in their stable for generations.
She tells Rajeshwari not to go to stable with this crown, what if Haseena demands it back. They all laugh and leaves the table. Bari Rani Maa comes to Rajeshwari and says what she could do when Rajeshwari has worn a horse crown, should she bring her grass as well. Bari Rani maa says she had warned her, but now she must do something that the subjects of Amirkot accept her as her Rani.
Pandit ji tells Rana ji that the palace is under threats and problems for a long time. He says that there is a remedy for it, a wife has to go and fetch a flower from a mountain. Rana ji asks to prepare for them. Rajeshwari was about to stand up, Pandit ji says that only Gayatri can do this pooja. Raaj Mata assures that Rana ji will be successful in this pooja. Rajeshwari objects that now she is Rana ji’s wife, the Pandit says her crowning ceremony hasn’t taken place yet and Gayatri is thought to be a Rani. Gayatri says she will do it. Rana ji leaves the hall, confronts Gayatri for a while and leaves.
Rajeshwari complaints to Bari Rani Maa about it. Bari Rani Maa tells her that this is her plan, she is playing this game and after this game Rajeshwari’s way will be clear. She will show Raaj Mata how fast this horse can run.Raaj Mata gives Gayatri the mantar she had to read there on the mountain peak. Gayatri says she had remembered it all on her day one. Raaj Mata blesses her. Bari Rani Maa and Rajeshwari watch this all, Rajeshwari says this team is really strong. Bari Rani Maa says she now needs more members in her team. Kunwar ji says to Bari Rani Maa, Rajeshwari and Kokilla that he knew Bari Rani Maa is behind this all.
He is sad she hadn’t done this all. Kokilla says to Bari Rani Maa that she was afraid of Rajeshwari for no reason, Rajeshwari is just a puppet in her hands. Kokilla and Rajeshwari argue. Bari Rani Maa stops them, she says that Kokilla needs to make Rajeshwari memorize the mantar till tomorrow, they need to defeat Gayatri tomorrow.Pandit ji ties a protective string on Gayatri’s hand. Pandit ji says to Gayatri that she hasn’t worn any of her identities as a bride. Gayatri asks what is more important, her responsibilities as a wife or the identities of a bride. He says her responsibilities.
Gayatri says she won’t wear anything until Rana ji puts in sindoor on her head. Pandit ji says he can’t tie this string on a bare arm. Raaj Mata takes her bangle off, but Rana ji takes the bangle he had in his pocket. He thinks that he isn’t with Gayatri, but he won’t let her get away from him ever. Gayatri thinks she would also not let him away from herself. Rana ji held her hand. Bari Rani Maa thinks they are speaking from their looks, such love and care, questions and memories. She think once Rajeshwari sits in the pooja, only tears will be left in these eyes.
Kokilla reads the mantar in front of Rajeshwari. Rajeshwari sat blank in front of her. Kokilla asks her to say it together. Rajeshwari says she can’t do it. She curses Bari Rani Maa, then asks Kokilla to revise it again. She goes to take some rest. Rajeshwari hits Rana ji and was about to fell off. Rana ji holds her, then apologizes. Rajeshwari says one doesn’t apologize from a wife, one only cares. Rajeshwari stops him and says she is waiting for the time he will look at her. Rana ji says he has lost his soul, no piece of glass can take it place. He says Gayatri hasn’t got off his heart, he will always be here. Rajeshwari says what a man would be if he is easy to get. She promises that he will spend that night soon with her.
Rajeshwari comes to the room, Kokilla says she never saw such a drink ever. Rajeshwari pour it to her in a glass and says this is a special one. Kokilla finds it sour, Rajeshwari gulps it all at once. She goes to play music. Kokilla and Rajeshwari dance together, drunk.The next morning, Kunwar ji comes to Rajeshwari’s room and finds them asleep. He calls Kokilla, then goes to Rajeshwari who lay open mouthed on the couch. He throws water over Kokilla’s face, she sits up at once. He splash water over Rajeshwari’s face, and tells Kokilla it is time for Pooja. Kokilla was shocked to hear this. Kunwar ji asks if she made Rajeshwari memorize the mantar.
He leaves on her nod. Kokilla wakes Rajeshwari up and asks if she remember any single verse of the mantar.
Bari Rani Maa says to Gayatri that she is sure that only the bride who is rightful will sit in Pooja with Rana ji. Bari Rani Maa says she needs help from Gayatri. She says she married in the same temple Gayatri is going to take the flower, she got insult after that marriage and didn’t go to that temple again. She now wants to repent, and go back to that temple. Gayatri asks Bari Rani Maa to get ready, they will go along. Bari Rani maa says Gayatri is taking her defeat to the way of her victory.
