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
