Ahem is in love! That's the only thing I can say for sure. Whether he'll accept it soon or still delay the inevitable is yet to be sen. But he is in love and the same way as Gopi has been with all since from the beginning. Gopi stood like a pillar of strength by his side throughout and he never ever saw her tensed or worried. Yeah he scared her to hell but even then she stood her ground unshaken. And now when he's slowly becoming his companion, he saw the lines on her face which he never saw before. He's able to see that something is troubling her but still is not able to make it out. He's trying to read her expressions and trying to find something there...and this time he's not worried for his own things or needs or problems, but this time he's plain worried for her.
When she ran to fetch his clothes, he felt so relaxed seeing that she knew how he was feeling and seeing that she was also happy in his happiness, but he wanted to share this joyous moment with her and she didn't even look up at him. He called her with such a belongingness and cheerful voice expecting that she would give him a lovely smile as always but she didn't. And going against his temperament, he didnt get annoyed but surprised at her behaviour contemplating the reason behind it. Gopi always looked upto him whenever she felt happy and wanted to share with him and with expectant eyes but just got hatred and ignorance in return. Now he's at the receiving end but all of this is unintentional from Gopi's side. Both of them have sacrificed a lot lot lot for their mom's happiness and now is the judgement time, the taut end point. And they have to turn up at the other end of the finishing line like a true survivor hand in hand in this three legged race of saving themselves and their love and respect for their mom as well!
When Ahem reached the puja land, even then his eyes were searching and looking for Gopi to have her by his side and he was not feeling good at all at her walking so far off. Now as i said earlier, his life begins with her and ends with her. Gopi is maintaining her distance to satisfy Koki and for the betterment of Ahem as per Koki's wish, but Ahem is unaware of this and is in a baffled state and wants everything to go the normal way but it's not happening so. He's able to read Gopi like a book and is concerned for each and very single response as he knows that she doesnt get disturbed unnecessarily,. He now knows that something big is troubling her and he's not at all happy and worried for her so much. What gopi always prayed for, she's going to get it now soon. A true Saathiya who just not admires her for her beauty or work and remains self-centered otherwise, but one who looks and cares for all her needs and worries before everything else. But it needs only one promise fom his side...can he give unconditional love and support to Gopi just the way she has provided him???? He needs to be on the giving end now...will he do that?????????for he has been on giving end for his mom and now its time to do it for Gopi...for their true union!
