Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (2015): Season 1, Episode 11 - Wafadaar - full transcript
A twisted tale of destiny and the circle of life where a trusted servant brings up a young boy, befriends him and becomes a part of the family. Years later he is bestowed the duties of this boy's offspring but fails to abide by them. In an act of carelessness, he looses the child and his job. What happens next is a twist of fate.
Do you know Mr. Anukul's family?
-The high court judge?
-Yes.
I know him.
I have met him a few times.
I used to work for him,
since his father's time.
You could say that, Mr.
Anukul and I grew up together.
I had no experience
of work, sir.
I learnt everything over there.
It was my first job.
-Are you Raicharan?
-Yes.
Now, you have to stay
in this mansion.
Your accommodation has been
arranged for.
But sir, what do I have to do?
Do? Nothing.
You just have to play.
Father says,
I just have to work.
Your job is to play.
I have a son, who is as old
as you.
You have to play with him.
You will do that, won't you?
Yes, sir.
-Bhola.
-Yes, sir.
-Show him to his room.
-Yes, sir.
Go, son.
The master explained my
work so simply..
..that, I didn't feel as if,
I am in an unfamiliar place.
I started fulfilling
the responsibility..
..that my master gave me.
I was always with the master's son.
At times as a servant,
at times as a friend.
We were growing up together.
Thus, time passed by.
The young master finished
his studies in the college..
..and started his law practice.
I would also help him
with his office work.
But, there was a limit to it.
Somebody else was meant
to come into his life.
My son, look at this photo.
Let me see it, mother.
-She's nice.
-Nice?
Yes.
-What are you doing?
-Sir, she is very beautiful.
If she comes into our house,
our family will flourish.
-Do you like her?
-Yes.
In that case, I like her, too.
Come on.
We will burst crackers.
We will burst crackers.
He got married with great pomp.
The young master's wife replaced..
..me in his life.
-Raicharan.
-Yes, ma'am.
I will massage him.
Okay.
She started taking care
of his smallest need.
At times as his maid,
at times as his wife.
Thank you.
I started being
alienated from his life.
There was emptiness in my life.
But, before I could
feel neglected..
..God bestowed another
boon on me.
Raicharan.
You have taken care of me so
lovingly and dedicatedly, till now.
From today, you have
to take care of him.
Little master.
Little master.
You have come into my life,
like a messiah.
I will take very good care
of you..
..and I won't allow anything
to happen to you!
Yes.
I will nurture you and raise you.
I will keep you close to me.
Yes.
My little master.
Who am I?
-Father.
-Father.
Okay. Who is she?
-Mother.
-Mother.
And who is he?
Channa.
What? What did you say?
-Channa.
-Channa?
-He called you Channa.
-Did you hear, that?
-You are his father.
-Yes.
She is his mother.
But, I am Rai Channa!
Who am I?
Rai Channa!
The little master has
called me, Channa. Channa!
From today, my new name
is Channa.
The little master has..
Catch. Catch.
Catch Channa. Catch Channa.
Little master, come.
Come. Catch Channa.
Ma'am, did you see this?
He takes each step,
so cautiously!
He always takes the right step.
He will go far. He will
be a very successful man.
He will be a judge.
Right?
I hope, that comes true,
Raicharan!
Don't spoil him too much or he will
give his wife a tough time, later.
No. No. No. He won't trouble anyone,
ma'am.
-Come. Come.
-Channa.
My master has been transferred
to another district.
He will leave in a few days.
He will leave.
But, I am wondering,
what about..
..the little master?
I mean, who will
take care of him?
How will he live without me?
So, I will have to go
along with him.
So, go. Who has
stopped you?
Go, wherever you want to go.
Don't get angry.
Try to understand.
If I don't get angry, what else
should I do? Tell me, sister.
Earlier,
I had hoped, that..
..you will return
home in the evening.
Now, I have lost
that hope, too.
Why are you getting angry?
You've stopped fanning me!
Brother, she is bound
to get angry.
Do think about your house
and your wife, at times.
She is pregnant.
It's her third month.
You will have to
take care of her, too.
So, what?
You are there.
You can handle it.
I will have to stay
with my little master.
You will handle it.
I know that.
After a long time,
it is not raining, right?
-Yes.
-It's not raining.
-We will go..
-Yes.
-..to the river.
-Yes.
-We will play a lot.
-Yes.
We will go there.
We will play a lot. Okay?
It will be great fun.
It will be great fun.
We will run and jump over
there.
We will see a monkey, too!
Come on. Over the stones.
Over the stones.
Fruit.
Channa, fruit.
I will pluck the fruit for you.
-But, you don't move.
-Okay?
-Okay?
-Yes.
Wait.
-Sit here. Don't move.
-Okay.
Little master,
don't move at all.
I will go and bring the fruit for you.
-Okay?
-Yes.
Little master, don't move.
Okay?
-Stay right there.
-Yes.
Little master!
Little master!
Little master!
Little master!
Little master!
Little master!
Master. Little master.
Where did you go?
Little master.
Little master.
I have brought the fruit.
Little master.
Little master.
Little master..
Master.
Master.
Little master. Master!
Little master!
Little master.
Little master.
He insisted on having the fruit.
But, I..
Where is my child?
-So what, if he had cried?
-Where did you hide him?
What did you do to my child?
What did you do to him?
Where is my child?
Ma'am.
-Take her inside.
-Where is my child?
Let's go inside.
Where is my child?
-Ma'am, calm down.
-My child.
-Your son will come back.
-Return my child to me.
-My child.
-I shouldn't have gone.
-I should have stayed there.
-Return my child to me.
I should have played with him.
I should have
taken care of him.
I am the older one.
Why did I do this?
What is this, ma'am?
My jewelry. Keep it.
-No, ma'am.
-I beg of you.
Return my child to me.
-What are you doing?
-Return my child to me.
-Take this. Do you want more?
-No.
-Take this. Take this too.
-Ma'am.
-Keep it.
-No.
-Keep it.
-No. No. No.
-Return my child to me.
-No.
-Keep it.
-No.
-Return my child to me.
-I shouldn't have gone.
-I want my child back.
-I shouldn't have left him.
-Keep it.
-What are you doing? What happened?
What happened to him?
Nothing is hidden from a mother.
-He has stolen my child.
-Listen to me.
I am giving him my
wealth and ornaments.
Return my child.
Return my child.
Why would he commit such a
serious crime, without a reason?
-What are you saying?
-I don't know that.
He was wearing so much gold.
That's why, my child..
Take this. Take more gold.
Return my child to me.
-Listen.
-Tell him to return my child.
Just tell this wretched man
to go away!
Where will he go?
Where will he go? Come here.
Come inside. Come inside.
Nothing is up to
human beings, sir.
Time is very powerful.
In the blink of an
eye, everything changes.
See, I lost everything
in a moment.
Sir, it is evening.
I've wasted a lot of your time.
If you say so, some other time..
No. Not some other time.
Tell me, now.
What happened next?
After leaving my master's house,
I had only one place to go.
My village.
Somehow, I picked up
the pieces of my life.
But, destiny had to
play another game with me.
..I was confronted
with the memories..
..I was running away from.
That's it.
It's almost over.
Be strong.
Be strong.
-He is here.
-Take the hot water.
She is in a lot of pain.
-The baby is stuck.
-Oh, my God!
Where did Raicharan go?
I did my best.
Oh, Lord!
Congratulations. It's a boy.
Great!
He is so handsome.
It's a boy. It's a boy.
Where is brother?
They are celebrating
the baby's birth.
I don't have any child.
I had only one child.
The little master.
Because of me..
Little master.
Where were you the whole night?
Do you even know, what's
happening in the house?
Sister-in-law is in a critical
condition.
She has become very weak.
She can't even nurse the baby.
See, I got goat's
milk for the baby.
Are you even listening?
I think, I will have
to cook to feed myself.
Drink the milk.
There is no cigarette at home.
Where did I keep it?
I kept it somewhere.
The cigarette..
Madhu.
What happened, brother?
This is the last straw.
Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law.
What did you name the baby?
I didn't, sir.
Madhu christened him.
Phelna.
I couldn't understand anything.
A little child lost his life,
because of my mistake.
It was so difficult to forget that.
Why was God giving me
another child?
I denied his existence
and I was always drunk.
But then, one day
something happened..
..that shook me
up, completely.
Hey!
Go inside.
Hey!
Go inside.
Go inside.
Channa.
Channa.
You called me, Channa!
Little master.
Little master.
Little master, it's you?
You have returned to me,
little master!
And I couldn't recognize you!
I couldn't recognize you,
little master.
I am free of my guilt.
You called me Channa.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
-Why are you calling him little master?
-Little master..
..has gone to sleep, Madhu.
God works in divine ways.
I have personally witnessed
God's grace at work!
Which grace? Doing what?
I was very unjust to Phelna.
What can I do?
I am dimwitted.
I had lost my mind.
But now, I will fix
everything, Madhu.
I don't understand.
Little master has been reincarnated
in our family, as Phelna.
Madhu, look. Look,
he was born..
..a few days after the
little master's death.
Isn't it?
But, how is that possible?
This is what has happened.
Look!
The same smile. The same eyes.
The same capriciousness.
He was calling me,
Channa. Channa.
Just like the little master
used to call me.
Is there any other
greater proof?
No, there isn't.
Ma'am was right.
I stole the little master.
See? He was found
in my house.
Madhu, I am liberated
of my guilt.
The little master
has forgiven me.
Little master, see what I
got from the market.
-Wow!
-Wow!
Look at this.
Look at this horse.
Look.
Here you are, sir.
My wife's ornaments.
Move. Move.
Move from here.
Don't come near.
He is my little master.
Don't come near
the little master.
Stay within your limits.
Move.
No. No. No.
Little master.
I wonder, what madness
has gripped Raicharan.
He calls him, God's gift.
And he worships him like God.
I wonder, what drug he is on?
You are right.
Every child is God's gift.
So, is he.
But after all,
he is an ordinary child.
Let him grow up like one.
The little master is not ordinary.
How can I let him grow up,
just like that?
No. No. No. I will send the
little master to a posh school.
In Kolkata.
We are going to Kolkata.
That will be very costly.
Yes. I know.
That's why, I sold my land.
I will sell everything else, too.
Wait and watch.
I will find a job in Kolkata.
Don't worry.
But, I will give the little
master a good upbringing.
Say it. Say it,
little master. Channa.
Channa.
Did you see? Did you see?
You don't believe me.
Fine. He has got admission.
But, how are you
related to him?
He is my master's son.
There was a flood
and his parents drowned.
How will you pay
the school fees?
Don't worry about that.
My master has left
a lot of wealth.
Don't worry about that.
Little master, study hard.
You want to be a judge,
don't you?
Phelna. I mean, the little master
is now 18 years old, sir.
-What?
-Yes, sir.
How did you pay
his fees for 18 years?
You don't earn so
much from this job.
I sold whatever I had, sir.
I survived on meager meals.
But now, I have nothing left.
I have to arrange for money
for Madhu's medicines, too.
That's the problem, sir.
But, I can't let
anything fall short..
..in little master's upbringing
and education, sir.
I can't.
But, the situation is
getting worse.
The other day, when I
went to meet the little master..
..Madhu was also with me.
Phelna, your servant is here.
And today, there is a lady
with him, too.
-Brother.
-Yes.
Hello, little master.
When will you stop calling me
little? I have grown up, now.
Yes.
Okay, listen.
I want a new watch.
You got a new watch,
just last year!
That watch has become old, now.
The fashion has changed.
Buy me a new one. My name
should be engraved on it.
It will be done.
It will be done.
I will buy you a new watch.
Don't worry. Tell me.
How are you doing in studies?
I am doing well at studies.
What else can I tell you?
You are illiterate.
You are right.
How can I understand?
I will get the watch.
I will get the watch.
Don't worry about the watch.
Study well..
You did so much for him.
You lost everything.
But, he is not concerned
about you or me.
How can you endure
so much humiliation?
He should know the truth.
Whether you tell him
or I tell him.
Listen, it is the children's
duty to look after..
..their elders,
when they are old.
And..
..he is just exploiting us.
I can't do all this, now.
All this..
Madhu, drink this.
-Drink it.
-Yes.
It will give you some relief.
-Hold it from below. It's hot.
-Yes.
Carefully.
Drink it.
-What have you decided?
-About what?
Will you tell Phelna
or should I tell him?
You won't say anything
to anyone.
I raised him like my own child.
I will tell him
whatever I want!
If you want to stop me,
then kill me.
Sir, I have decided.
This can't go on.
What have you decided?
What will you do?
I don't know whether, what
I have decided will happen or not.
That's why, I can't tell you,
now.
But, I am going to do
something..
..for which I need a
few days' leave, sir.
Fine. Go. I sanction
your leave.
But, I believe, Madhu
has given you sound advice.
You have dragged it
out for too long.
I don't know,
what you want to do.
But whatever you want to do,
this should end here.
Because, this is best for all.
Thank you, sir.
I pray to God, that He should
sort out my dilemma.
I will leave now, sir.
That's a hefty price for
a herb!
Ma'am, people pay handsomely
for this herb.
As such, God has given
you everything.
This herb can give you,
what you don't have.
Fine. Give it to me.
Young master.
Raicharan, it's you?
You?
Ma'am.
Why have you come here?
You were right, ma'am.
It wasn't the Goddess Padma..
..in fact, I had taken
your child.
What?
I stole him.
Where is he?
Where is my child?
Where is my child?
Little master.
Our son.
Should I give you more, son?
Young master, I have
something to say.
If you permit it,
I will work for you, again.
I mean, I will take
care of the little master.
How dare you say that?
Aren't you content,
after deceiving us once?
Ma'am! Ma'am, believe me.
I was just the means to an end.
What happened was God's will.
Did God tell you
to steal our child?
No. No, ma'am.
Young master,
it's not my fault.
It's the fault of my fate.
You committed the crime,
Raicharan.
It wasn't God or destiny.
Young master, I raised the little
master like this family's son.
I gave him whatever he wanted.
I never refused him anything.
Don't separate me from him,
master.
Don't separate me from him.
-Go away, Raicharan. Get lost.
-I beg of you.
I implore you, young master.
Let me just meet him once
in one or two months, sir.
No, Raicharan. Now, you
can never come to this house.
-Go away.
-Young master, listen to me.
I will watch him from a
distance, young master.
I beg of you.
Father.
Raicharan is right.
He looked after me,
for so many years.
If you give him some money,
he won't insist on seeing me.
Channa.
Channa.
Channa.
Channa.
He fell down.
He fell down.
He fell down.
He fell down.
-The high court judge?
-Yes.
I know him.
I have met him a few times.
I used to work for him,
since his father's time.
You could say that, Mr.
Anukul and I grew up together.

-Are you Raicharan?
-Yes.
Now, you have to stay
in this mansion.
Your accommodation has been

But sir, what do I have to do?
Do? Nothing.
You just have to play.
Father says,
I just have to work.
Your job is to play.
I have a son, who is as old
as you.
You have to play with him.
You will do that, won't you?
Yes, sir.
-Bhola.
-Yes, sir.
-Show him to his room.
-Yes, sir.
Go, son.

He will be a judge.
Right?
I hope, that comes true,

I have brought the fruit.
Little master.

He insisted on having the fruit.
But, I..
Where is my child?
-So what, if he had cried?
-Where did you hide him?
What did you do to my child?
What did you do to him?
Where is my child?
Ma'am.

-Return my child to me.
-My child.

-Return my child to me.
I should have played with him.
I should have

Nothing is hidden from a mother.

Sir, it is evening.
I've wasted a lot of your time.
If you say so, some other time..
No. Not some other time.
Tell me, now.
What happened next?
After leaving my master's house,
I had only one place to go.
My village.
Somehow, I picked up
the pieces of my life.
But, destiny had to
play another game with me.
..I was confronted
with the memories..
..I was running away from.
That's it.
It's almost over.
Be strong.
Be strong.
-He is here.
-Take the hot water.
She is in a lot of pain.
-The baby is stuck.
-Oh, my God!
Where did Raicharan go?
I did my best.
Oh, Lord!
Congratulations. It's a boy.
Great!
He is so handsome.
It's a boy. It's a boy.
Where is brother?
They are celebrating
the baby's birth.
I don't have any child.
I had only one child.
The little master.
Because of me..
Little master.
Where were you the whole night?
Do you even know, what's
happening in the house?
Sister-in-law is in a critical
condition.
She has become very weak.
She can't even nurse the baby.
See, I got goat's
milk for the baby.
Are you even listening?
I think, I will have
to cook to feed myself.
Drink the milk.
There is no cigarette at home.
Where did I keep it?
I kept it somewhere.
The cigarette..
Madhu.
What happened, brother?
This is the last straw.
Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law.
What did you name the baby?
I didn't, sir.
Madhu christened him.
Phelna.
I couldn't understand anything.
A little child lost his life,
because of my mistake.
It was so difficult to forget that.
Why was God giving me
another child?
I denied his existence
and I was always drunk.
But then, one day
something happened..
..that shook me
up, completely.
Hey!
Go inside.
Hey!
Go inside.
Go inside.
Channa.
Channa.
You called me, Channa!
Little master.
Little master.
Little master, it's you?
You have returned to me,
little master!
And I couldn't recognize you!
I couldn't recognize you,
little master.
I am free of my guilt.
You called me Channa.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
Little master has forgiven me.
-Why are you calling him little master?
-Little master..
..has gone to sleep, Madhu.
God works in divine ways.
I have personally witnessed
God's grace at work!
Which grace? Doing what?
I was very unjust to Phelna.
What can I do?
I am dimwitted.
I had lost my mind.
But now, I will fix
everything, Madhu.
I don't understand.
Little master has been reincarnated
in our family, as Phelna.
Madhu, look. Look,
he was born..
..a few days after the
little master's death.
Isn't it?
But, how is that possible?
This is what has happened.
Look!
The same smile. The same eyes.
The same capriciousness.
He was calling me,
Channa. Channa.
Just like the little master
used to call me.
Is there any other
greater proof?
No, there isn't.
Ma'am was right.
I stole the little master.
See? He was found
in my house.
Madhu, I am liberated
of my guilt.
The little master
has forgiven me.
Little master, see what I
got from the market.
-Wow!
-Wow!
Look at this.
Look at this horse.
Look.
Here you are, sir.
My wife's ornaments.
Move. Move.
Move from here.
Don't come near.
He is my little master.
Don't come near
the little master.
Stay within your limits.
Move.
No. No. No.
Little master.
I wonder, what madness
has gripped Raicharan.
He calls him, God's gift.
And he worships him like God.
I wonder, what drug he is on?
You are right.
Every child is God's gift.
So, is he.
But after all,
he is an ordinary child.
Let him grow up like one.
The little master is not ordinary.
How can I let him grow up,
just like that?
No. No. No. I will send the
little master to a posh school.
In Kolkata.
We are going to Kolkata.
That will be very costly.
Yes. I know.
That's why, I sold my land.
I will sell everything else, too.
Wait and watch.
I will find a job in Kolkata.
Don't worry.
But, I will give the little
master a good upbringing.
Say it. Say it,
little master. Channa.
Channa.
Did you see? Did you see?
You don't believe me.
Fine. He has got admission.
But, how are you
related to him?
He is my master's son.
There was a flood
and his parents drowned.
How will you pay
the school fees?
Don't worry about that.
My master has left
a lot of wealth.
Don't worry about that.
Little master, study hard.
You want to be a judge,
don't you?
Phelna. I mean, the little master
is now 18 years old, sir.
-What?
-Yes, sir.
How did you pay
his fees for 18 years?
You don't earn so
much from this job.
I sold whatever I had, sir.
I survived on meager meals.
But now, I have nothing left.
I have to arrange for money
for Madhu's medicines, too.
That's the problem, sir.
But, I can't let
anything fall short..
..in little master's upbringing
and education, sir.
I can't.
But, the situation is
getting worse.
The other day, when I
went to meet the little master..
..Madhu was also with me.
Phelna, your servant is here.
And today, there is a lady
with him, too.
-Brother.
-Yes.
Hello, little master.
When will you stop calling me
little? I have grown up, now.
Yes.
Okay, listen.
I want a new watch.
You got a new watch,
just last year!
That watch has become old, now.
The fashion has changed.
Buy me a new one. My name
should be engraved on it.
It will be done.
It will be done.
I will buy you a new watch.
Don't worry. Tell me.
How are you doing in studies?
I am doing well at studies.
What else can I tell you?
You are illiterate.
You are right.
How can I understand?
I will get the watch.
I will get the watch.
Don't worry about the watch.
Study well..
You did so much for him.
You lost everything.
But, he is not concerned
about you or me.
How can you endure
so much humiliation?
He should know the truth.
Whether you tell him
or I tell him.
Listen, it is the children's
duty to look after..
..their elders,
when they are old.
And..
..he is just exploiting us.
I can't do all this, now.
All this..
Madhu, drink this.
-Drink it.
-Yes.
It will give you some relief.
-Hold it from below. It's hot.
-Yes.
Carefully.
Drink it.
-What have you decided?
-About what?
Will you tell Phelna
or should I tell him?
You won't say anything
to anyone.
I raised him like my own child.
I will tell him
whatever I want!
If you want to stop me,
then kill me.
Sir, I have decided.
This can't go on.
What have you decided?
What will you do?
I don't know whether, what
I have decided will happen or not.
That's why, I can't tell you,
now.
But, I am going to do
something..
..for which I need a
few days' leave, sir.
Fine. Go. I sanction
your leave.
But, I believe, Madhu
has given you sound advice.
You have dragged it
out for too long.
I don't know,
what you want to do.
But whatever you want to do,
this should end here.
Because, this is best for all.
Thank you, sir.
I pray to God, that He should
sort out my dilemma.
I will leave now, sir.
That's a hefty price for
a herb!
Ma'am, people pay handsomely
for this herb.
As such, God has given
you everything.
This herb can give you,
what you don't have.
Fine. Give it to me.
Young master.
Raicharan, it's you?
You?
Ma'am.
Why have you come here?
You were right, ma'am.
It wasn't the Goddess Padma..
..in fact, I had taken
your child.
What?
I stole him.
Where is he?
Where is my child?
Where is my child?
Little master.
Our son.
Should I give you more, son?
Young master, I have
something to say.
If you permit it,
I will work for you, again.
I mean, I will take
care of the little master.
How dare you say that?
Aren't you content,
after deceiving us once?
Ma'am! Ma'am, believe me.
I was just the means to an end.
What happened was God's will.
Did God tell you
to steal our child?
No. No, ma'am.
Young master,
it's not my fault.
It's the fault of my fate.
You committed the crime,
Raicharan.
It wasn't God or destiny.
Young master, I raised the little
master like this family's son.
I gave him whatever he wanted.
I never refused him anything.
Don't separate me from him,
master.
Don't separate me from him.
-Go away, Raicharan. Get lost.
-I beg of you.
I implore you, young master.
Let me just meet him once
in one or two months, sir.
No, Raicharan. Now, you
can never come to this house.
-Go away.
-Young master, listen to me.
I will watch him from a
distance, young master.
I beg of you.
Father.
Raicharan is right.
He looked after me,
for so many years.
If you give him some money,
he won't insist on seeing me.
Channa.
Channa.
Channa.
Channa.
He fell down.
He fell down.
He fell down.
He fell down.
