Once there was a king 22 June 2022: Raaj comes outside the hut and thinks he can’t say what he wants to, and can also not do what he wish for. He can’t even hug Rani, what if she wakes up and share his truth with them. Suminda comes to him saying she can understand his condition, she cries that Rani has been really happy till yesterday; why are they being punished. Raja stares towards her thinking Suminda destroyed his family, now he would punish her and not God.Someone announces Rani has woken up. They hurry towards her, Rani doesn’t recognize anyone there, she looks around confused and asks who they are. She denies recognizing them and even herself. Suminda was worried. The doctor says it feels she lost her memory, she is hurt deeply at head. She suggests them to take her home.
At home, Suminda and Anandi hold Rani while she looks around without recognizing the place around. She comes in, points towards Raaj and accuses him of pushing her from the cliff. He is a blo*dy murdered. Raaj hears Rani’s cry about not remembering anything and comes out of his daydreaming. Suminda takes her towards her wedding photos on the wall. She says this is her room, she must try to remember. Rani asks her to leave her alone for a while, she doesn’t understand what they have been saying. Raaj comes from behind and says it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t remember anything, she might take rest. He holds her shoulders but she pushes him away. Raaj asks why is she afraid of him, how can she forget him. He tries to remind Rani that they are married, they have been lovers for ages. Rani was confused and asks him to leave her alone.
He brings her a glass of water but she denies. Raaj turns to watch the property papers then asks her signatures on the papers. Rani asks what these are. Raaj says these are insurance papers. Rani takes a pen to sign but says she can’t. She doesn’t remember the name and signatures of hers and holds her head. Raaj says alright, she may sign these papers when she recalls everything gradually. He leaves her alone in the room.
Rani cries recalling the events in morning. Rani says she remember each and everything, she will remember it always. Raaj never thought about her and forgot their love so easily, he called her mom as their biggest enemy. She will find out about the truth of his hatred.
She cries thinking about each moment they had spent together in love. She says his love fell weak in front of his desire for revenge. She will bring the reality of her mother, if she is the culprit she must share her part of truth.The next morning, Rani was about to put sindoor then places it back. She vows not to fill her hairline until she unveils the complete truth. She comes to breakfast table. Anandi says she prepared her favorite dishes, like the chocolate pastry. Rani denies anything else. Raaj comes to join them on table. Suminda offers him to sit together. Rani looks towards him, Raaj compliments if there is a feast. He then asks Suminda if she has taken her medicine. Rani chokes, he offers her a glass of water.
Rani denies eating anything. Rani says she has been suffocating here, she wants to go out. Preiti offers to take her to her favorite spots, Anandi says she would go along them. Raaj says he would also go, Rani thinks she won’t be able to do what she wants to otherwise and says he can’t go. Anandi says he is her husband. Rani says she doesn’t feel a connection with him, she doesn’t even feel safer with him. She notices him and hands him a napkin to wipe his sweat. Suminda suggests she can cancel her meetings and come along. Rani qualifies they must not disturb their routines for her, she needs to be normal soon.
On the way, Rani asks Anandi to turn towards the cliff she had her accident, she wants to go there so that she might remember something there about her accident. She hopes to get what she wants. On the way, there comes Raaj’s parent’s house. Rani thinks she would be able to unveil Raaj soon.Rani walks into Raaj’s house. Anandi was afraid of the place and says it seems only insects reside in this ruins. Rani stops Anandi and asks when she came here. Rani thinks she wants to get an answer from Anandi, she might know what happened between Suminda and Raaj’s mom. Anandi wonders why they would come in such ruins.
Sakshi comes from behind. Preiti was afraid of her. Rani says she feels she has met her before as well. She recognizes her as Sakshi. Sakshi cries and comes to hug Rani. Preiti wonders who this girl is, it seems Rani is trying to point to something. Sakshi brings Rani to Maa who was murmuring at Raaj to return. Sakshi says she is unwell, she cried hard and so did Raaj. Anandi and Preiti come inside and asks Rani who are they. Rani says they belong to her, she asks for help to take them home. Anandi interrupts as she doesn’t know where they came from. Rani insists they need help. Anandi requests Rani to leave this place. Rani decides either she would stay here or will take them along. She decides she would do anything to take them.
Raaj’s friend Doshi wasn’t ready to help him with the papers. Raaj requests him, Doshi says if he copies Rani’s signatures they might prove before memory loss Rani signed these papers. Raaj tries to copy the signatures but fails. He hear some movement outside and sends Doshi away. Anandi had called the servants as Rani brought some ill and crazy people along. Anandi was worried why Rani brought such people here. Raaj comes there, Preiti says Rani thinks she might know these people and brought people from ruins here.
Inside, Rani and Sakshi placed cold cloth pieces over Maa’s forehead. Raaj was shocked as he comes in. Sakshi finds them staring at each other and rushes towards Raaj in excitement. She drags Raaj towards Maa and says their Maa isn’t fine.
Raaj thinks Rani didn’t do justice. Raaj at once shout at Sakshi who she is, he questions who did Rani bring here. He tells Rani he know such people well. Sakshi cries hugging Rani. Raaj questions Anandi and Preiti how they allowed Rani to bring such people here. He says they would be responsible if something bad happens to Rani if she stays with crazy people. Sakshi cries that her brother reached. Rani thinks it’s his urge for revenge that he didn’t recognize his beloved sister. Raaj hurts himself in the room for pushing his sister away, and considers Rani the culprit. He thinks Rani remembers everything, then why she has hidden his secret. He spots Rani coming towards the room and settle the room, and sits with the book.
Raaj offers Rani a seat with him. He looks towards her. Rani asks why isn’t he saying anything, Raaj thinks she is creating some drama. Rani wonders if he is suspecting her. Rani says she is fine now, only a little head ache and asks to leave. Raaj thinks he has a number of ways to unveil Rani’s reality.Rani wonders how her mother would react if she recognizes Maa and Sakshi. Raaj came behind and thinks his game would be all lost if she watches his mother and sister. He gets Suminda’s call who informs she won’t be able to return home tonight. Raaj tells Rani about Suminda’s message and thinks Rani remembers everything for sure.
At night, Raaj enters his mother’s room and comes to Sakshi. She was about to scream. Raaj forbids her to speak aloud, they would speak in a low voice. Sakshi cries that he made her cry. Raaj apologizes her. He tells Sakshi they are playing ‘thief-police’ game. Sakshi was excited.
Anandi discuss with Preiti that she is really afraid of the crazy girl. She goes to look for her, concerned about Rani’s safety. Raaj asks Sakshi if she liked this house, she replies its beautiful. Raaj tells Sakshi that Rani is the thief in this game. He calls himself as Police in the game, and forbids her call him brother else their trap would fail. If they catch the thief, this house would belong to them. Sakshi was excited about the game. Raaj takes her promise not to call him brother in front of anyone.
Rani heard this from the window, then watches Anandi coming. She thinks if Anandi watches Raaj here, he would be finished. Rani poses to have a head ache. Anandi says she must take care of herself. Rani says she has been trying to remember everything since then, now her head aches badly.Raaj thinks Rani has played a lot. She is hiding him from her family.
