Once there was a King 22 February 2022: Rajeshwari runs to Bari Rani Maa, Kunwar ji and Kokilla and tell them that Raaj mata took Rana ji to Gayatri’s room. They all head towards them in worry.
Raaj Mata shows Rana ji the picture of Gayatri he had painted, shows her the gifts he had given to Rana ji. Rajeshwari asks what about the gifts Gayatri gave, pain and betrayal. Raaj Mata says Rajeshwari betrayed Rana ji by forcefully marrying her. Rajeshwari says that Raaj Mata forcefully married Gayatri to Rana ji. Raaj Mata says she traded about love, but Rajeshwari tried to hypnotize Rana ji and make him a puppet in his hands. Rana ji remembers all he had said in hypnotism to Gayatri, he remembers when he promised to take Rajeshwari on honeymoon.
Rana ji says Raaj Mata is a liar, Gayatri always kept hurdles in the way. When he had told Gayatri about his honeymoon she came to shoot him. Raaj Mata slaps him hard, Rana ji says if she slapped the Raja of Amirkot. Had she not been his mother her neck wouldn’t be intact. He calls his guards and orders them to arrest Raaj mata. Bari Rani Maa looks victoriously. Rana ji orders his guards to take this lady away from his eyes. Raaj Mata says he had forgotten his love, today he forgot his mother as well. Raaj Mata cries and thinks where Gayatri is, everything is torn here, she must return soon. The guards take Raaj Mata. Rajeshwari smiles victoriously.
Rajeshwari brings a fire log, she tells Rana ji to burn all these things before they burn him from inside. She says they couldn’t do Gayatri’s coronation but at least they can burn her belongings. Bari Rani maa comes inside and tells Rana ji to burn them. Raaj Mata hears this, Raaj Mata calls Rajeshwari and says Rana ji and Rajeshwari are two bodies one soul, no one can separate them. Rana ji holds the painting of Gayatri and burns it.
The doctor examines Gayatri and keeps the cloth over her face. Lakhan stood nearby, worried. The cloth comes over Gayatri’s face with wind. The doctor says when dead, a man’s body must fell cold but she is hot.
Rana ji burns the painting, her clothes and everything else. Gayatri’s hand begin to move. She wakes up at once shouting Rana ji’s name. Lakhan watches her, then helps her as she tries to get off her bed. She insists that she wants to go to Rana ji. Lakhan says she is weak, he won’t be able to take her there. He tells her that she fell from a cliff. Gayatri remembers the bullet on Rana ji’s head and insists on going to Rana ji. Laakhan says she is weak, she got conscious after two months. Gayatri says she travelled from death to life, the travel to Amirkot won’t be so difficult. Laakhan tells her to have a medicine and take rest.
Rajeshwari tells Rana ji to begin working in palace now. Rana ji asks if she has losted, she doesn’t remembers that prince only orders and doesn’t take orders. He asks her to prepare coffee, she does. He spits the sip and throws the hot cup on her hand.
He says poison would be better than this. Rajeshwari asks what happened to him, Gayatri betrayed him and why is he behaving like this to her. Rana ji tells her to get some servant who can make good coffee. He tells her to get out.
Gayatri walks with the help of a wooden stick in which Laakhan helps her. He takes the stick from her when she sits on the bed panting. He asks how she gets this much courage to move in such a pain. No one would have taken a single step in such injuries. Gayatri says this was Rana ji’s love who brought her back from death. The ones who wanted to kill her never leave a single chance to kill her. She remembers Rajeshwari and tells Lakhan she couldn’t see the face but there was someone helping Rajeshwari on the cliff. she says she will get her love back, it is time to go back to her palace.
Lakhan tells Gayatri to assist her, he says he will go to palace and get her all the news until she doesn’t get alright. Gayatri asks how he will manage it. Lakhan says he got the goals, a Cheetah would find his way himself.
Rajeshwari complains about Rana ji throwing coffee over her. Bari Rani Maa says it is only about six months, if the prince doesn’t get well the throne is handed to someone else. And in her presence, Rana ji won’t get well and the throne will come to Kunwar ji. Rajeshwari says she is a princess, she can’t live as servant. In past two months, four servants have left, they must now find someone who can bear the temperament of Rana ji. She leaves. Bari Rani Maa and Kunwar ji were talking about her when a guard comes to tell them someone is here to meet Kunwar ji.
Lakhan says to Kunwar ji that he will now work on the money Kunwar ji will offer him. Kunwar ji says alright, this time he will get only one fourth of the money he was promised before. There, Rana ji sat on a chair, his legs being pressed by a servant. He pushes him from his leg and tells him to send someone else. Lakhan asks about Raaj Mata, Kunwar ji tells him not to interfere in other matters.
Kokilla stops a maid and watches the meal’s tray. She scolds her that she isn’t a princess, she is a prisoner. Lakhan wonders who they have kept imprisoned.
In the jail, Raaj Mata denies eating anything. She wonders where Gayatri is. Gayatri cried and couldn’t believe that Rana ji had left his memory. Lakhan tells her that Rana ji now hates her, he thinks she was his murderer and tried to kill him from bullet. He gets enraged even at her name. Gayatri says love is still alive, as hate in his heart and craziness in her heart. Lakhan says the bullet is still in Rana ji’s head, he sometimes has such pain that he can’t take care of himself. Only Bari Rani Maa can take care of him. Gayatri asks about Raaj Mata? Lakhan says he couldn’t know anything about Raaj Mata. Gayatri says she must go to the palace, she can’t let her family, husband and mother in law suffer in the hands of Rajeshwari. Lakhan says Amirkot isn’t the one she had left, she can’t go to palace. Gayatri says staying far one can make shed of tears, but to wipe them one needs to go close.
At night, Gayatri comes to the temple. She says trust makes a stone idol as God, but today this faith is breaking. What mistake Rana ji did, he fulfilled every responsibility of a Raja, a son and a wife. She believed that fate is in fist, hard work and courage are greater than fate. She says to God that it is his responsibility to keep this trust unbroken. She says this is God’s testimony, if there is God they must show her a way. She pleads for getting her love back, she can’t go back to Amirkot as Gayatri. She sits at the floor and procrastinates. When she stands up, her face had been filled in mud. She watches her face reflection in Trishol. She thanks God for the way to get her Rana ji back.
The next morning, in the palace Pandit ji asks Bari Rani Maa if Rana ji is ready. Only a prince can do this pooja. Kunwar ji says he is the prince of this year. Bari Rani Maa says he means Rana ji is ill, this year Kunwar ji will do the pooja. Pandit ji says Raaj Mata and Rana ji did the pooja each year. Bari Rani Maa says Raaj Mata is no more here. Kunwar ji will do the pooja. Bari Rani Maa is happy that no one is here to stop her now.
Gayatri enters the palace in a changed avatar of South-western desert women, skin tanned, dressed in choli ghagra with veil. As she walks in the palace, Rana ji dreams about Gayatri. He is disturbed and wakes up shouting Gayatri, Gayatri. Raaj Mata also feels Gayatri to be around. She comes to hold the bars in hope and cries. Kunwar ji, Bari Rani Maa and Kokilla hear Rana ji’s voice. Bari Rani Maa heads towards his room, Pandit ji stops but they say they will be back soon. A guard comes to Rana ji with water, he had head ache and didn’t respond. He touches his hand, Rana ji slaps him hard and tells him to leave. Bari Rani Maa rubs Rana ji’s forehead and tells him to be patient.
Rana ji says he destroyed his sleep, he will punish him for this. Bari Rani Maa tells him to lay down. Rajeshwari comes downstairs curtly that he made another servant run away. She wonders where she must get a servant. Lakhan comes to Rajeshwari and suggests her to keep a nurse for Rana ji. He says he knows a girl who can serve Rana ji for even seven births. Rajeshwari asks who that is.
Gayatri comes to the temple and proves. Lakhan says she has been burnt and has turned to coal. She isn’t afraid of anything and never backs up. While praying, Gayatri thinks she is back to take care of Rana ji.
Pandit stops Gayatri saying this is royal pooja but she keeps on doing it.
Rajeshwari tells Lakhan that if that maid can stay for more than seven days he must call her.
There, Kunwar ji and Kokilla come to scold Pandits how they can let a stranger do the pooja. Rajeshwari comes to ask what she was doing in their temple. She holds Gayatri. Gayatri asks if this is her temple, Rajeshwari corrects herself that this is Shiv’s temple. Gayatri asks why she said it’s her, if she must place her idol there too. Rajeshwari asks who she is, Gayatri says she is Savetri. Lakhan comes there and says this is his sister he had been talking about. Rajeshwari says Rana ji won’t bear her, but Savetri says he won’t be able to resist her cooked food.
Rajeshwari tells Savetri to get out, but herself fell off due to the push. Savetri gives her a hand that she refuses to take. Rajeshwari says she can’t take such a misbehaving maid at home, she will take care of her husband by herself
