Ahem was in love with Anita who was a modern girl who had her own thinking and you did not want such daughter in law. You selected Gopi over Rashi because you knew Gopi will be in your control. She is homely gharelu uneducated girl who will not raise her voice against you . Ahem loved and respected you whatever you said was final word for him. When time came to choose between his love and you he opted for later. For your own selfish reasons you got Ahem and Gopi married.
You were mean to Gopi initially however over the time you became caring towards her. When Gopi wanted to study you refused it since you didn't like the idea of her daughter in law studying. After the whole cheating fiasco you got another reason but that time Ahem supported Gopi.
When Ahem accidentally lost Meera you did not blame him. Had anything serious happened to Meera that day I doubt you would have said anything to Ahem. You very well knew how much Gopi loved Meera even then blamed her for Meera's death. Instead of calming asking Gopi what happened you declared her culprit for whatever happened with Meera without giving her chance to speak.
You did not ask Gopi to leave the Modi Bhavan but blamed accused her for the daughter whom she loved more than her life's death. You or anyone else did not bother to search for Gopi or try to find out about her whereabouts all these years. Gopi did wrong by hiding truth about Vidya and as a father Ahem has right to be upset. However that makes me think what would have happened if Gopi had not left Modi Bhavan or went to stay with her parents. You would have separated her from Vidya filled her ears how her Gopi is the most irresponsible mother who never cared for her daughter was responsible for her elder sister Meera's death. Vidya would have grown up hating and disrespect Gopi.
You you did not do any favour by making Gopi your daughter in law Kokila. You had your own selfish reasons behind it. You didn't wanted a wife for your son who replies back to you or has courage to look into your eyes and say you are wrong or she doesn't agree with your thoughts. You did not want anyone to separate you from your son. You made Ahem marry Gopi even though you knew he loved Anita and did not even once think what Gopi will have to go through after being tied in such a marriage.
When being a mother you can't imagine your life without your son Ahem when you separated him from Anita whom he loved since you feared you would lose your son and someone else might take your place then how do you expect Gopi to live without her daughter Vidya.
Vidya wants her entire family which includes both her mother and father. If Gopi did wrong by keeping Vidya away from Ahem and her family for seven years that doesn't mean you or Ahem will do the same. You did not hear what Baa or any other family member wanted to say in this matter and gave your final verdict. Stop forcing your decision on others and taking decision on others behalf in the name of family's welfare. You have no right to separate a mother from her child. Remember two wrongs don't make a right.
Thank You :)
