Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 9th February 2021 Written Episode
Ram ji finds Bhima sitting next to the place where Bhimbai’s last rites were performed. Ram ji tells Bhima his Aayi wont come. Bhima asks him why. Ram explains that his Aayi used to say what you wanted her to. It was your imagination. You expected her to say the same things. Bhima asks him if she isn’t around. Ram ji says she is and will always be. She wont be in the form you want her to be. It will be different. Bhima says I love her very much. Why can’t I see her other form then? Ram ji says you have come to understand that she is no more. You will feel her presence every time but wont be able to meet her. Even if you do, you will know that she is your imagination. Bhima cries. Ram ji comforts him.
Next morning, Ram ji reaches his workplace but his Boss fires him. You don’t have to come here ever again. We started trusting you so much. I wanted to give all the responsibilities but we don’t need to work together if we don’t believe in faith and religion equally. Ram ji says religion is a personal matter. How can this come between my work? His Boss reminds him of Maharaj’s words yesterday. My wife fell ill when I returned home after that incomplete puja yesterday. You cannot work here. Ram ji insists that they aren’t related. His Boss refuses to hear anything. You must leave now. Ram ji says my family and I are already worried. We will be in trouble if I lose this job. His Boss stays put. We don’t want to bear any bad consequences! Ram ji agrees to leave. Being unjust to someone while fearing consequences is discrimination. His Boss refuses to hear any of his logics and goes inside. Ram ji heads back sadly. Champa asks Ram ji if everything is fine. He nods. She asks him how he is leaving from his work before time then. Ram ji shares that he cannot work here anymore. She shoots him a confused look. He says people become puppets of fate when they become afraid because of dharma. She requests him to let her speak to their Boss. What did you two discuss? Ram ji tells her. She goes inside to speak to their Boss.
Champa starts throwing stuff angrily in the godown. Her Boss asks her why she is throwing things around. She glares at him and other workers. She pretends to fall on the floor (as if a spirit has left her). She asks them what happened here. They tell her that she is behind this. She asks her Boss if his wife never fell ill earlier. He fumbles. She did. Champa says whose spirit was behind it earlier. He tells her to mind her business but she continues speaking in Ram ji’s favour. Ram ji helped me when I need help. He showed humanity to me. You should help him as he needs your help now. God wont help you if you throw him out of his job now. He brought you closer to your family after all. She manages to convince Ram ji’s Boss to hire him again.
Ram ji’s Boss tells Ram ji that this woman has supported him. She has made me realise that I should not throw you out of job. I became emotional as it was regarding our dharma. Make sure our beliefs don’t clash in future. Ram ji agrees. Boss tells Ram ji to resume his duties. He also tells Champa to keep the things back in place. She nods. Ram ji thanks Champa. She requests him to help her keep things back in place. He asks her why she threw them down. She agrees to tell.
Bhima is thinking about Ram ji’s words. Few ladies bring food for Sakpal family. We may not be the mother of the kids but we are still family. Bhima tells them not to go out of their way to help them. You are like our Aayi only. A son cannot see his Aayi upset. He walks away. Meera apologizes to the ladies on Bhima’s behalf. He is learning to live his life without his Aayi. If someone comes to help him then he feels the absence of his Aayi all the more.
Bhima is sitting quietly when Bhimbai appears. This is wrong. She sits next to him and wipes his tears. It is wrong. You should focus on the things that you are actually doing at the moment. You keep thinking about your Baba’s words all the time. Bhima realises that his Baba was right. You are not my Aayi. Bhimbai laughs. What does that mean? Who am I then? Bhima says you are my imagination. My Aayi is no more. She has left us. Now I know that she will never come back. He cries and tries to walk away but Bhimbai makes him sit down. How does it matter if I am a figment of your imagination or real? She gets emotional. I am still your Aayi. Bhima says Guru ji shares that imaginations begin to faint when one begins to realise the truth. My imagination will fall weak with time as well. You will leave me and I cannot let it happen again! She hugs him. Imaginations never end. We wont let it happen. You should sometimes imagine that your aayi is scolding you when you are getting distracted from your studies. I will also imagine things sometimes. Imagine sleeping in your Aayi’s lap sometimes. I will imagine making meethi roti for my Bhima other times. That’s how we will live together forever. Bhima smiles.
Anand asks Bhima to come home. Bua is calling you for lunch. He pats at his shoulder to shake him out of his reverie. Let’s go hom. Aayi is not here. Get out of your imagination. Bhima tells him proudly that Aayi is indeed around. It isn’t just an illusion but imagination. He heads home with his brother.
