Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani
August 25, 2015 Written Update
The episode begins with endearing convo. between GovindSeth & Gayatri. He asks her if she is happy. She replies, am ecstatic with joy! Am so happy today coz now I can tell the world that my father wasnt wrong in encouraging me to weave dreams. My dream wouldnt have come true today, had you not encourage me to weave dreams. GovindSeth affectionately asks her if she isnt happy about being a Queen. She says, am very happy. She is about to tell him that she loves Ranaji a lot but feels shy & doesnt express in words. She tells him, I have done something that you dont know about. I want to talk to you about it but dont know how to tell you. GovindSeth says, I know everything & gives her the letter that she had written to Ranaji. She gets surprised. GovindSeth says, I would get you the moon too if you ask. He blesses her to be happy always & leaves. Gayatri looks at the letter & thinks, I wanted permission to think of you Ranaji & in response, you allowed me to love you!
Ranaji is deeply sad & pours all his pain out in a letter to Sulakshana. He writes, you & I had promised to be together forever and we both kept our promise but life didnt favor us. With you, life was a journey but without you it has become a long wait... Wait to meet you again. Journey is carried out with a companion but wait has to be carried out alone... Am waiting for you alone. Am not just your Indravadan but King of Ameerkot too and my duty as King of Ameerkot calls for me to sacrifice my love and wait for you. He arrives at banks of a river.
Gayatri burns a candle and looks at her reflection in mirror in candlelight. Ranaji burns a lighter to burn his letter to Sulakshana. He says, love goes much beyond right & wrong. Come what may but I can never allow myself to be unfaithful to you, Sulakshana! Gayatri is all dreamy & says, I'll be your queen Ranaji. Ranaji says, You were, still are & will always be my queen Sulakshana. Noone other than you can be my queen.
Both Bhabhis rue that Gayatri got Ranaji as her husband. Next morning RajpurohitJi (royal priest) comes to GovindSeth's house to match bride & groom's horoscopes and fix the date of wedding. Both Bhabhis think there will surely be some fault in Gayatri's birthchart. Gayatri is curious to know what RajpurohitJi says . Her nephew & niece come there and banter with her about she becoming a queen soon. Seeing serious expressions on RajpurohitJi's face, GovindSeth asks him if the horoscopes dont match. He says, the horoscopes match perfectly but the problem is the Mahurat (auspicious time) for wedding is in next 12 days or after 6 months. A royal wedding demands lots of arrangements & preparations & its impossible to organize a splendid wedding worthy of royal prestige within just 12 days. Both brothers get skeptical about organizing the wedding in just 12 days. Damyanti gets tensed that waiting for 6 months may not be right. GovindSeth tells RajpurohitJi to inform Rajmata that the wedding will take place in next 12 days only. He says, I will make the impossible possible for my daughter's sake. The wedding will be such grand for the world to see! Everyone gets elated. GovindSeth asks his DILs to get sweets for everyone. RajpurohitJi wishes happiness forever for the bride and groom.
Rajmata is upset thinking of Ranaji's hurtful words & accusations. She is worried that RajpurohitJi has gone to fix the date of wedding and GovindSeth will come with shagun but according to custom, shagun can be accepted only when the groom consents for the wedding date. She worries what to explain to them when Ranaji isnt in palace and how to explain Ranaji what will be the consequences if he doesnt agree for this marriage. KuvarUncle comes there and asks her about Ranaji's wedding being fixed with GovindSeth's daughter. She says, when the family is in trouble, either you can be mute spectator or try to solve the problem. KuvarUncle gets offended & asks if she thinks him a mute spectator. She sarcastically asks him, you are King's uncle. Dont you want to see him happy. He says, you didnt involve me in this decision. She says, I didnt have time. He says, your efforts are futile as you're trying to cover a sword in fabric scabbard. As far as I know Ranaji, he will never agree to this marriage proposal. He leaves. Rajmata gets more worried.
Both Bhabhis curse Gayatri & her fate. They think that her bad luck will ruin Royal family & can cause Ranaji's death too like how her fiance had passed away just next day of her first engagement. Gayatri overhears their convo. and gets worried. RajpurohitJi is leaving. She goes to him & touches his feet. He blesses her to always remain happy and virtuous. She asks him if she is worthy of Ranaji. He says, Rajmata wouldnt have chosen you for her son, had you not been worthy. She says, you matched our horoscopes. Is there any fault in my birthchart that can bring Ranaji any trouble? Will I bring good luck to Ranaji?
RajpurohitJi explains to Gayatri that good or bad deeds decide good or bad times. She asks about fate apart from deeds. He says, fate before marriage is different from fate after marriage coz two ppl's fate unite after marriage like how at the confluence of two different rivers, their individual existence vanishes & both streams unite to create a pure new stream. She asks, what if one stream isnt pure enough. He replies, in that case, either the new stream may not remain pure or the new stream can make the previous stream pure as well. Only God can determine whether your fate will change with this marriage or Ranaji's. Your both's deeds & destiny combined will write your fate. Gayatri is still worried & asks about remedies to cure fault in her birthchart. RajpurohitJi says, faults in birthcharts can be remedied, not emotional wounds. Faults in stars will vanish if you heal the emotional wounds on Ranaji's and your heart. I am confident that by choosing you, Rajmata has chosen ideal DIL. He blesses her & leaves. GovindSeth is listening to all this convo. from balcony. He asks Gayatri, why do you feel you arent worthy of Ranaji. You're gem of a person & am praying that Royals should be worthy of you. She smiles & says, I feel everything will be good now. He asks her to think positive only and think of her wedding trousseaux.
RajpurohitJi tells Rajmata, I followed your order and said only what you had asked me to tell them. I told them that bride & groom's horoscopes perfectly match & they will make an ideal couple. But you know that's not true. People consider Gayatri ill-fated but I know there's no fault in her stars but in Ranaji's. Rajmata glares at him. He continues, Ranaji's chart carries a fault "Kalsarpa yog". With wedding, wife's lifeline joins her husband's lifeline and kalsarpa yog shortens Ranaji's wife's lifeline instead of Ranaji's. His first wife met untimely death due to this only and what if the same happens with Gayatri too? Rajmata asks, So what? An ordinary girl's life has no value compared to Ranaji's life. In this ploy, Gayatri is just a mode of paying back the debt. I dont care about such ordinary pawns in the game. RajpurohitJi is shocked to hear this. Rajmata determinedly says, this wedding will definitely take place.
Ranaji is burning all souvenirs. Rajmata alongwith Yashoda rushes there and asks him whats he doing. Ranaji is angry and replies, Cant you see? Today not only the letters, photos & memories are burning but a relation too - a mother & a son's relation. Rajmata is shocked. GovindSeth tells Rajmata, the wedding date has been fixed after 5 days. Rajmata seems worried and says, for this wedding Ranaji...
