Ahem was beside himself unsure what has brougnt on this sudden change in Gopi's behaviour. He has become so used to her warm smile, her helpful nature and her willingness to please. He did not get any of this from her today after he told her to leave him to iron his mother's clothes.
He thought back what could it have been that would have caused this?
He did not think much of it when he called out to her and asked for tea and she put up her pallu over her head as his mum intervened and diverted his attention.
He next time he met her was in their room while she was putting away the folded clothes in the cupboard. She jumped on hearing his voice and she dropped the clothing on the floor. Whilst she was quickly putting up her pallu which annoyed him, he naturally volunteered to pick up them but she told him not to. He had asked her for a file which she merely pointed out where he could locate it rather than give it to him in his hand. Further he asked for her to give the file to Jigar and he noticed that she was hesitant. When he said that he would do so himself she walked away from him. It was this that puzzled him the most. Why was she avoiding him?
He paced the corridor restlessly to and fro until deciding to go outside for some fresh air wondering what was it with her? Why was she so distant with him? Why was she hiding her face behind her pallu? Why was she not smiling when she saw him? Why? Why? Why?
When he entered their room he resolved in his mind that her will talk to her about it, only to see her already asleep in bed. He walked up to the bed and watched her sleeping and felt her forehead thinking that she could be feverish but realised that she was not.
What to do now? Ahem wondered. Why was she avoiding him?
He is realising that she makes up an integral part in his life. He is gradually missing her little pleasantries that fills his heart up with joy. Will he talk to her tomorrow? When he finds out the real reason for her to avoid him how will he react?
