Once there was a king 28 February 2022:Savitri asks Rana ji what it that he is singing today is. Rana ji says that he feels peaceful today. Savitri thinks from today he will always be at peace. Rana ji asks why she is smiling, she says she recalls a story her mother told her. Rana ji says he wants to hear it. Savitri cheers.Rajeshwari comes to find Bari Rani Maa in her room and asks what she came for. Bari Rani Maa says an owner always gives her pet cat a chance and doesn’t remove the strip off her neck, even if she scratches her.
Rajeshwari says she is the one who had shed her father and step sibling’s blood along with her brother. Rajeshwari says they will have a good confrontation. Bari Rani Maa clutches her jaw and says fighting is always among equal ones. Rajeshwari will only get punished. She leaves.Savitri tells Rana ji that there was a prince who always did justice. Once, two wives came to him and fought about a son. The prince had to decide and asks them to drag the boy, they did so. The boy started crying, one of the wives couldn’t see him upset and leaves his hand. The other one was happy about her victory.
The prince understood, a mother can’t see a son in pain. Rana ji tells her a story, once a monkey and its mother lived in a well. One day when it rained, the mother kept a foot on the head of monkey and flees. He says he doesn’t want to hear about Gayatri and Raaj Mata. He tells Gayatri to prepare his golf set, he will go to play golf today. Savitri thinks he must forgive her, he is going to make him meet Raaj Mata today.Savitri shouts at an old woman on the door of palace that Rana ji won’t meet her. Rana ji watches this from upstairs and comes down. Savitri says this is the mother of the servant who was caught stealing. Rana ji says he doesn’t want to listen to her, the lady gets to his feet and tells him her son did the theft, but for her.
She is really ill and there are a lot of expenses on her medication that her son was unable to bear. She was ready to get herself hanged for the freedom of her son. Rana ji frees her and her son, and tells her this palace will bear all the expenses of her medication. Rana ji asks Savitri if all mothers are same. Savitri says yes, and all sons are like him. He says no, his mother is different, she planned his death with Gayatri. Savitri asks if it is written in Geeta, or did he hear Gayatri and Raaj Mata speaking to each other about it. He has never allowed Raaj mata to clarify herself, when Ram ji will ask him about it; he must not complain. Rana ji tells his guards he wants to meet Raaj Mata. On the palace door, Rajeshwari asks Rana ji where he is going.
Rana ji says he is going to Raaj Mata, Rajeshwari says she is a liar and a betrayer. Rana ji says Rajeshwari is also a liar, he is talking to her; now he wants to give a chance to his mother as well.Rana ji and Savitri comes to meet Raaj Mata. Raaj Mata holds him by arms, and cries hugging him.Bari Rani Maa says to Kokilla that they must now kill Rajeshwari. Rajeshwari comes worried and tells them Rana ji went to meet Raaj Mata. Bari Rani Maa and Kokilla were talking harsh but Rajeshwari asks them to solve this problem right now, in spite of fighting. Kokilla wonders how this is happening.
Bari Rani Maa says if Rana ji wants to meet Raaj Mata, this means he is getting well; it is now time to bring a huge storm in his life.Rana ji was about to hug Raaj mata back, then clutches his hand without keeping it on her back. Raaj Mata cries and asks if he really came to meet his mom. Rana ji says a prince has punished her, a son cannot end the punishment but can make sure his mother doesn’t get any pain in the jail. Raaj Mata says a mother’s happiness is never in her own ease, it is in the happiness of her children. She says if for once, Rana ji will not listen to Rajeshwari but his heart he will realize that Gayatri is innocent.
Rana ji says he came to talk to his mother here, but she consider herself more of Gayatri’s mother in law. Rana ji goes out of the jail, Savitri comes out too. He locks Raaj Mata again. Savitri stops Rana ji and says he said he will listen to Raaj mata. She says he must have heard once why she was siding Gayatri, why he doesn’t care for him and is on his killer’s side. Rana ji shouts that he has spent the whole life here, if she cared for him she wouldn’t have traded with Gayatri before as well. She was always interested in becoming a Raaj Mata than a mother. He says it hurts when he watches his mother holding the arrows that hurt him.
Savitri shouts his name, he was being attacked by a veiled man. Rana ji catches the man and asks whom he works for. The man says he is Behlul Singh. He recalls Rajeshwari had bribed him for this and tells Rana ji that Raaj Mata sent him.Behlul says Raaj mata doesn’t want him or Rajeshwari alive, he tried to kill Rajeshwari but was failed. Rajeshwari comes to Rana ji and says she told him someone wants her dead, she wasn’t able to believe that his own mother was against his life. Rana ji orders the soldiers to punish Raaj mata with 100 lashes.Bari Rani Maa says to Rajeshwari that they must not fight against each other but with each other.
Had they not been together it won’t be able to break this family so easily. She laughs at Rana ji, so does Rajeshwari.Savitri comes to Rana ji who was having severe head ache. He asks her to leave him alone. Bari Rani Maa thinks that the bullet in Rana ji’s forehead is because of her and not Gayatri. Rajeshwari confesses that it was Bari Rani Maa who shot her and saved her from Raaj Mata’s suspect; then she got Raaj Mata to the jail. Bari Rani Maa says this is all because of the medicines, he had already lost his memory and now he is even restless. The stone on her finger gives him peace, and he thinks this is miracle of her motherhood. Savitri asks Rana ji to take the medicine.
Rana ji asks her to bring Bari Rani Maa. Savitri insists on him to take the medicine first and was stubborn. Rana ji eats the medicine.Bari Rani Maa says until this stone is giving his relief, he will trust her only. He will lose his ability to think well.Rana ji was shocked, he says to Savitri that before today these medicines weren’t so effective. Savitri says prayers work better than medicines. She says she was mistaken that she took him to the jail, he got attacked and was saved because of some prayers. She had no idea about this palace, she never understands that in that same jail when a mothers cries doesn’t get to a son how she can order someone to kill him. She leaves while Rana ji thinks about all the incidents.
Rana ji thinks Savitri was right, Raaj Mata didn’t give the order to kill him. If Raaj Mata had to kill him she wouldn’t have saved him on the cliff that day. Savitri speaks harsh, but she speaks truth. He wonders who did this then?There, Bari Rani maa says no one can know she is behind the game. She says she wants to get everything named after Kunwar ji, after which Rajeshwari will get her share as well. She says she doesn’t want the throne, money or palace, she just wants the destruction of Rana ji. Bari Rani Maa says only Gayatri could save him, but now Rana ji is finished.
Savitri comes to Raaj Mata, she apologizes her and says it was all her mistake. Raaj Mata says she didn’t bring Rana ji but Gayatri did. Gayatri is the mirror where Rana ji can see his heart clearly, if he came here it means Gayatri is alive; there is no other power in the world then Gayatri. Savitri says she is right, Gayatri brought Rana ji here.Rana ji was confused about all the events. He wonders if not Raaj Mata then whom? Had he not killed the man, he could have known the truth. He has shut all the doors to reach the truth.Savitri washes her face, she comes to Raaj mata and tells Raaj mata she is Gayatri. Raaj Mata looks up at her face, then hugs Gayatri. She says she knew Gayatri is alive. Gayatri says she has lost, she has no other way.
Only Raaj Mata call tell her what happened on the cliff that day, Raaj Mata says she also doesn’t know. Gayatri was upset, she says all the doors are shutting at her. Something has happened to Rana ji, she has to take Raaj Mata out of here, she has to find Rajeshwari’s companion. Raaj Mata tells her to stop worrying about her. She tells Gayatri that since she is here nothing can happen to Rana ji. She tells Raaj Mata she has lied to Rana ji. Raaj Mata says God doesn’t see truth or lie, he only see the intention behind it. When Rana ji will know the truth, he will understand the reason of this lie.Raaj Mata says that tomorrow is Holi, she must burn Rajeshwari tomorrow in the trap she created herself.
Gayatri says Raaj mata is right, she will not accept defeat and will get Rana ji. She says tomorrow on the day of Holi she will take her first step towards Rana ji, tomorrow the Holi festival will begin with a truth. Gayatri comes to her room, thinking how she will take the first step towards Rana ji. She was putting on the colour over her face, Rana ji comes to the room calling Savitri. She hides behind the curtain and forbids him to come forward. Rana ji asks if she is fine. Savitri says she is perfect, she asks him to keep it, the pain to find her. He says he has to talk to her, he thought about what she said and may be she was right. Savitri says she thought may be the sun began to rise from east. He asks if she doesn’t know how to speak to prince. Savitri says she doesn’t know any other way to speak to anyone. He tells her to come out first, he has to look at her face and speak to her.
She tells him to remove his glasses of misunderstanding first. He says she is again taking the talk towards Gayatri. She says so he understands what the misunderstand is about. Rana ji leaves. Gayatri says it must have hurt but she had to do this.
