The next day, everyone is waiting eagerly for the ambulance to arrive with Shivansh. Although they're also sad that he is coming back like this but least from now on, he will be among his family members.
Finally, the ambulance arrives at the premises of the palace followed by five cars. The back door of the ambulance gets opened and four ward boys come out followed by a nurse. Kavyansh and Adwait get out of their car before helping the ward boys lift the stretcher where Shivansh is lying.
The family members move aside and let them take Shivansh inside the palace. Jivika is also with them following from the side. They walk inside a room which is downstairs and put Shivansh very carefully on the bed. The doctor and the nurse then start adjusting Shivansh with all the required equipments that are already present in the room.
"The nurse will be staying here to monitor Mr. Rathore. I will also come for regular check-ups so you don't have to worry." The doctor informs the family members pointing at the nurse who is a middle-aged lady.
"Thank you so much for agreeing with my decision." Jivika says with appreciation.
"I understand your side, Mrs. Rathore. Also, it's better if he stays with his family members. We cannot say when and what miracle may happen." The doctor replies with an assuring smile.
"You come with me. I will show you your room." Radhika tells the nurse who nods her head and then both leave from there.
"Okay then, I will be taking my leave. I will come back tomorrow for check-up." The doctor says while everyone nod their heads in response.
After the doctor leaves, Aaradhya sits beside Shivansh on the bed and runs his fingers softly over the bandage covering her son's head. She never imagined that a day would come when her som would return home but in this condition.
"Ab aap ghar wapas aa gaye hain na to dekhna aapko hosh bhi bohut jald aa jayega." Aaradhya murmurs while her eyes welled up in tears.
(Now that you have returned home, you will see that you will gain consciousness very soon.)
She wants to talk more with her son but she also knows that everyone is waiting for their turn. So, wipes her tears before kissing Shivansh's forehead very gently and then gets up from the bed.
"I will go and prepare for the lunch." By saying this Aaradhya rushes out of there while others can feel the pain in her voice.
One by one everyone then sits beside Shivansh and talks with him for some time. By the end, only Jivika is left in the room who then sits beside her husband and links her fingers with his. She is somehow feeling complete today seeing her Shiv back in the palace where he belongs. She has so much to tell him, so much to complain but she is waiting for him to get better. She wants to tell him about what happened yesterday but she won't because she doesn't want to make him worried about her.
"I love you, Shiv." Jivika mumbles putting her cheek against the back of Shivansh's hand.

The sound of slap echoes in the room which makes the men present in the room flinch seeing one of their teammates get beat up by their boss. But they can't intervene or they have to face the same thing.
"I give you such a good salary, such good training, a luxurious life and you guys give me the news that my enemy is getting ahead of me." Rudra shouts while kicking the man in his stomach who groans in pain.
"It's not my fault, Boss. His wife is very clever. She had already made arrangements to remove him from the hospital before we could get near him." The man answers hoping that his Boss will have mercy on him.
"Why didn't you kill yourself before saying this? Don't you guys have any shame that you lost to a woman?" Rudra asks getting frustrated that a woman like Jivika is becoming his headache. He has thought that Shivansh's sister will be a problem but it seems that all his predictions are coming out wrong.
His men want to tell him that he too has lost in the hands of the same women. But they are being quiet because they don't want to get killed.
"Enough is enough with these small games. Now I have to plan something very serious which will leave those Rathores completely shattered." Rudra remarks breathing heavily while his eyes are full of madness.

Hours turn into days, days turn into week but still Shivansh's condition is not getting any better. He is still in coma not showing signs of waking up anytime soon. However, his injuries are healing pretty well that's what matters the most. The doctor and the nurse have been doing good with their work by treating him the way he needs to be.
Meanwhile, the family members are spending their time with him and talking to him about many things. Even Hulk and Shardul too stay in the room to keep him company when others get busy with their work. But it's not like that these two have bonded. They still behave like enemies who only know how to argue over things.
If we talk about Jivika and Shardul's connection then we can say that Shardul has warmed up with Jivika who is happy that her bestie's son doesn't get angry at her anymore. On the other hand, Hulk hates it whenever his favorite person pats his enemy.
Although everything is looking good but the thing in the state is going out of place. Because apparently, some people are trying to take advantage of the situation where the King is in a coma. They are doing things that are strictly banned by Shivansh. Like some rowdy people have started collecting illegal taxes from the market which is opened by Shivansh for the farmers.
Not only that, the import and export of illegal drugs have increased too which is another thing banned by Shivansh. But because of him in the coma, people are doing whatever they want.
Usually, Ritika keeps track of these things but she is also busy with some important cases nowadays for which she has to go out of the state very frequently. On the other hand, Adwait is trying to keep his company as well as the Underworld in control in the absence of his best friend.
The thing is that everything has been out of place in the absence of Shivansh. It's not for nothing that people call him the best King. He is truly a King who does a lot for his people. He knows very well that if he wants to get his people's trust in him, then he will have to provide them with things that they were deprived of for so long.
However now everything seems to be going out of control. Due to the absence of the King, people have started acting according to their own will. The powerful ones have started dominating the weak ones more than before.
But it is said that as long as the Queen is alive, the Queen is enough to teach such people a needed lesson and Jivika has that power within herself. She has become such a strong person that no one can defeat her. She is still as innocent and gentle as before. But one thing that has changed in her is that she has understood that one cannot solve some situations gently. Because those situations demand harshness not love or gentleness.

The Navgrah Shanti Puja is performed in the palace in the presence of Kul Purohit Ji who informs the family members that this is the most crucial time for Shivansh. But with the blessings of Mahadev, he will get better soon as well and things will fall back in their place like before.
Everyone is talking among themselves in the living room after the Puja is over when a guard rushes inside the palace calling out for Jivika who is serving Prasad to everyone.
"What happened?" Jivika asks the guard.
"Rani Sa, a woman is repeatedly asking about you outside. I have asked her to tell me what's the matter but she isn't ready to tell me anything. She is just saying that she will only tell you everything." The guard informs which gains others' attention too.
"Let's go and see who it it." Jivika says and walks out of the main door to find a woman pacing outside fidgeting with her fingers.
"Do you want to tell me something?" Jivika asks catching the woman's attention who has tears streaming down her face which she quickly wipes with the end of her saree but more tears fall out of her eyes which doesn't sit well with Jivika.
"Why are you crying like this? Please come inside and then we can talk." Jivika says with an assuring smile but the woman shakes her head quickly.
"Rani Sa, I don't have time to go inside. I am here to ask for your help. My daughter has told me that you'll help me." The woman replies while continuesly crying.
"First you need to stop crying and then tell me properly what's the matter." Jivika says looking at the woman.
"Get her a glass of water, please." Jivika tells the guard who nods his head and walks inside the palace.
By now other family members have come out of as well to see what happened suddenly for a woman to seek Jivika's help.
"Here drink some water. You'll feel better." Jivika takes the glass from the guard and offers it to the woman who gupls down the water quickly.
"Now tell me what happened." Jivika tells the woman who drops on the ground and holds Jivika's feet whose eyes widen in surprise.
"Rani Sa, please save my daughter. She is still very young but her father doesn't understand this. He is hell-bent on ruining her life." The woman cries out while Jivika holds her by the shoulders and make her stand up on her feet.
"Look, you need to tell me properly only then I will be able to help you." Jivika says wiping the woman's tears.
"I am Gujiya's mother. She is the one who told me to come here and ask for your help." The woman replies making Jivika remember the little girl who gave her the flower crown.
"Yes, I remember her. But what happened to her? Is she okay?" Jivika asks worriedly.
"Her father is forcing her to get married." Jivika closes her eyes hearing the woman's words because again her past has made an appearance in front of her. Even the others present there feel disgusted thinking about the father who is forcing his little girl into marriage at such a tender age.
"I never got a chance to meet but I have heard a lot about you from my Gujiya. She has told me that Rani Sa is very good and she is the only one who can understand this horrible situation." The woman says just as Jivika opens her eyes which are now looking completely different. Her pupils are fully dilated which indicates the anger growing inside her. The spark in her eyes has vanished completely while rage has taken over the place.
"Jivu..." Pratap calls out when he notices that Jivika hasn't given any reply yet. Also, he knows this is a sensitive topic for her as she has gone through this situation too.
"Don't worry about me, Papa. Worry about those people whose lives I am going to ruin." Jivika replies in such s deadly tone which makes everyone surprised because they have never heard her talking like this.
