Father's Wife
Ep1
In a Bengali village
Timeline: 1940s - 1950s
Where everything seems nice and simple, but deep down not everything was what it looked like
Ajay (fl's father)
It's a really good deal for us, isn't it. Not everyone gets an offer like that
Nirmala (fl's mom)
It is indeed but... Isn't he quite old? I mean, Mina is younger than his son. Is it okay to marry her off with Mr Ghosh?
Ajay (fl's father)
Shut up Nirmala! You know nothing about how important it is to get her married to the zamindar family. It's an once in a lifetime opportunity. Just imagine how much assets and property we're going to get
Nirmala (fl's mom)
Atleast we should tell Mina...
Minakshi, the stepdaughter of Ajay and Nirmala has come to the age of marriage. She's beautiful both from Inside and outside, but people cannot see her beauty because according to them a black girl cannot be beautiful. Because of her brown skin it was hard to find a groom for her within the village
Ajay (fl's father)
Minakshi, where are you?
Minakshi (FL)
Baba, I'm here, I was studying in my room
Ajay (fl's father)
Enough of your study now
Ajay (fl's father)
You're getting married to the Ghosh Zamindar family
Minakshi (FL)
But I don't want to marry now!!! What about my opinion?
Ajay (fl's father)
Huh! I told her not to study too much, now she's having "opinions". What a shame
Minakshi (FL)
I'm not marrying such a cruel immature guy, who doesn't even show his face to the common people of the village
Minakshi (FL)
What does he think of himself?! He's still the master, just because once upon a time their lineage was Zamindar of this area?
Nirmala (fl's mom)
Keep quiet Mina, we know what is best for you
Nirmala (fl's mom)
You're going to live like a queen there
Minakshi (FL)
I don't want to
Ajay (fl's father)
Start the shopping, the marriage ceremony is going to be held as soon as possible
Minakshi quietly stepped out of the room, she was feeling so anxious inside, but ... There was nothing to say anymore, nobody is going to listen to her anyway
Ep2
Nandini
I think there's a soft young man hidden behind his cruel image
Minakshi (FL)
No Nandini, the man who is doesn't even talk to his own villagers cannot have a heart. I don't expect anything from this marriage, nor will I ever agree to this
Nandini
You've never met him?! Did you?
Minakshi (FL)
He's a man, he's rich in this village of poor and middle class people isn't it enough for him to be like that?
Nandini
I've never seen him in person, but I heard he's very handsome hahaha
Minakshi (FL)
Why don't you marry Ishaan Ghosh then?
Nandini
Shhh!!! Don't utter your husband's name
Minakshi (FL)
Hahaha so funny 🙄
Kamala
What are you guys talking about without me huh?
Nandini
Here comes our tomboy, what were you doing till now? it's almost evening
Minakshi (FL)
Must be sitting on some tree around the pond hahaha
Kamala
So what? I like climbing trees
Nandini
*whisper* You've grown enough, it's time to climb on your man now
Minakshi (FL)
Who says we go to colleges, we still act like kids when three are together
Kamala
Are you going to leave us after marriage, Mina?
Nandini
Where will she go? She'll be here only
Minakshi (FL)
Absolutely, and I still don't know if I'll marry
Kamala
Don't talk like that, you cannot do anything anymore
Kamala
I know one day you'll forget us after being the Bahu Rani
Minakshi (FL)
*mocking her* One day you'll forget us... Shut up, it'll never happen okay!
Minakshi (FL)
You guys are really lucky, you'll get to continue your studies 🥺 I don't know what the future holds for me
Nandini
Being in this village studying up to university is really a big deal, right?
Kamala
Wait!! They wouldn't let you continue studying after marriage? They're such a rich family
Minakshi (FL)
I don't think their mindset is as rich as their wallet
Minakshi (FL)
But I cross my fingers and hope, I'll get to continue my literature studies
Kamala
You wanted to be a primary school teacher... What about that Mina?
Minakshi (FL)
If I have to I'll fight for it
Nandini
Don't worry so much, you have us by your side
Kamala
Yes don't worry, I'll climb the building and sneak at your room every night haha
Nandini
Come on! She's getting married, not going to prison.
Minakshi (FL)
It's the same
This is Nandini, Mina's best friend. She's patient, cheerful and always wants to see the positive side
Kamala, she's simple and pure as a child, but sometimes she gets in trouble because of her immature nature
Ep 3
Shyam (servant)
Babu, Ive prepared everything
Mohan
You know that my marriage is soon, I want this whole house to be decorated with flowers and incents
Mohan
*thinking* What a gem of a girl I've found, Ah what a beauty! thank God she's dark skinned that's why she haven't found a young groom yet
Lata (servant)
What do I have to cook today?
Mohan
Uff, do whatever you want I don't have time to waste on this
Lata (servant)
Yes, I'm going
Mohan
Shyam, where is Ishaan? Doesn't he know how many duties he has?
Shyam (servant)
I don't think Chhoto Babu is not here, I'll ... I'll go and call him
Ishaan, the son of Mr Mohan Chandra Ghosh was standing by the window in the old library of the mansion with his eyes calmly staring at the clock ticking
It is the only place where he finds mental peace as he doesn't like to talk to people outside
After losing his mother at the age of 5, he was raised and taken care by servants
For some reason he neither liked his father, nor that his father liked him
person
Your father wants to meet you
person
I think you should go, he seems angry
Ishaan (ML)
Let him be, I don't care. I don't want to be involved in this marriage drama in anyway
person
You cannot do anything about it anymore, can you?
Ishaan (ML)
I don't want to do anything, let him do whatever he wants, this house was never mine or my mother's. It's his home, he can to anything, but he doesn't have any right to involve me in these
Anonymous
*listening from outside*
Ishaan (ML)
You know what, I'm so done with seeing my father f*cking women half of his age every night
Shyam (servant)
*knocking* Chhoto Babu, your father is calling you...
Ishaan (ML)
Is everyone in this house going to come up here?
Ishaan put his half burned cigerette in ashtray and went outside
Mohan
I ASKED WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
Ishaan (ML)
Can't I live in my own house peacefully?
Ishaan (ML)
Oh it isn't my house
Mohan
Go check all the gifts and jewelries I'm sending tonight at her place
Ishaan (ML)
you're sending gifts to your permanent bedwarmer? You never did that to the previous ones
Mohan
MIND YOUR TONGUE BEFORE I RIP IT OFF
Ishaan (ML)
*left the room banging the door*
Ishaan (ML)
What a waste of money
