Poor Gopi and Ahem!!!

It's so nice to see so many positive people around them though!! Everyone has their best interests at heart!! I do hope Gopi is able to tell Ahem what happened to her and she listens to Ahem!!

It's so obvious they need each other!!

Thank you so much Nazma. Gopi has lots of support and more coming her way soon. Everyone loves her for her simplicity. She has built up her fears to a point she refuses to share anything with anyone, so he is going to have to work hard to climb the wall around her heart. They do need each other.

Thanks again Nazma, its great to hear from you.

Hi everyone. Hope you all are well.

Here it is an early update as promised.

All can say is please have a tissue or a hanky on hand.

Part 6

There is no such thing as a chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.

Gopi did not know how long she stood by the door watching and listening to the waves of the ocean clashing with each other. She stood there and let her pain flow out of her eyes. "Another chapter of my life closed." She thought. She decided to give in and take the muscle relaxant before the small twig in her leg became an unbearable pain.

Little did Gopi know that her silent tears and the pain reflected in those dark brown eyes, that had captured his attention and heart, were witnessed by the man standing in the dark corner of the balcony. Ahem stood in the shadows and watched the fleeting expressions on her face and wondered what caused the pain and tears.

He turned and watched those same waves that had captured her attention. He cannot let her go; she is his destiny as he had thought so from the moment he met her. He thought back to Rashi's words about Gopi's accident. She had been in an accident five weeks after they were to meet if he calculated the time line right, but how and what happened? He needed to know, and he cannot confront her about any of this, he will have to find the answers in methodical manners.

It was just not an accident, but there is more to it. Her Grandmother's death, her accident and estrangement from her parents, all are connected to one another. He was sure she was at their meeting place, but she is denying it to push him out of her life. He walked towards her doors with determined steps and stepped into her room.

He froze when he saw her curled up in a fetal position, clutching the blankets in her hands. He moved closer to her and heard jumble of words coming from her mouth. "Dadi…please don't leave me. Dadi where are you? Please come back, I can't get out." Ahem was pained to see tears floating out of her eyes. He knelt by the bed and gently ran his hand on her head soothing her to sleep. He hoped she didn't wake up and to his relief she stopped mumbling in her sleep. He stayed a little longer to be sure she slept dreamlessly before walking out of the balcony doors quietly.

Next morning Gopi woke up when she felt the sun shine directly in her face. She sat up and looked around confusingly and then glanced at the clock. It was almost eight, how had she slept so late? She jumped out of bed to get ready quickly. She needed to leave by nine to make it home by lunch.

When she walked near the dining room, Gopi heard Raj and Ria arguing over movies. She realized she had been last to wake up and wondered how they were up so early after being up so late the night before. She still felt the effect of the muscle relaxant, but with some coffee in her system she would feel much better. She braced herself before walking into the dining room.

As soon as she walked in her gaze was snagged by a pair of brown eyes that had been glued to the door, as if waiting for her arrival. She looked away quickly and said general good morning to everyone. She took the seat next to her brother and smiled at him. He smiled back. "Hey princess, did you sleep okay? And why did you disappear like that last night?"

"I am fine bhai and slept okay too. You know I don't like fireworks, so just decided to go sit in my room for a while." She tuned into the bantering between Ria and Raj and realized they were debating on which movies were the best. She froze when Raj turned to her to ask about the most romantic movies. "Let's ask Gopi, she can be the deciding vote." Gopi waited and hoped they didn't ask her what is her favorite romantic movie.

Ria turned to Gopi and smiled. "Gopi, jiju thinks the most romantic movie is Sleepless in Seattle while I think it is An Affair to Remember. What do you think?"

Gopi glanced from Ria to Raj and turned her head slightly to look at Ahem. "They are both romantic; is this another discussion on destiny and things that are meant to be? You already know my answer to that so I couldn't be the deciding vote."

Ahem was amused at her attempt at changing the direction of the conversation. He knew now that she had put on a big act for him last night. "Actually it goes with destiny and all but Raj and Ria are both already convinced both movies are romantic. What they really want to know is which situation is more realistic or likely to happen in real life. Personally I prefer Sleepless in Seattle. The instant connection, recognizing the person you are meant to spend your life with, the first time you see them."

Gopi looked him in the eye. "It's an illusion, it is not love but lust. Chemistry, attraction, or you could even say fascination with something unordinary. There is no instant recognition of life partner. The kind of connection that you are talking about only happens in the movies and fictional books."

There was a pin drop silence at the table with varied expressions all around the table. Gopi realized she had once again forgot there were other people at the table.

"I don't agree with you." Ahem broke the silence. Gopi turned to Raj and Kinjal. "Did you recognize each other as better half of yourselves when you met the first time?"

Raj laughed. "When we met the first time we were kids who didn't even know what love was."

"So how did you know you wanted to spend your life together?" Gopi asked him.

Raj looked at Ahem and cleared his throat. "I guess one day I just noticed how pretty Kinjal is and asked her out. Yes I guess at first it was just an attraction and I gradually realized I was in love with her." Gopi turned to Kinjal. "Was it same for you?" Kinjal also glanced at her brother before answering. "Yes it was."

Gopi turned to the other two couples on the room. "How about you four? Any instant connection or recognitions?" All shook their heads no. She turned to Ahem with triumphed look, daring him to argue the point further.

Ahem wanted to laugh out loud at her look of triumph but he did not want upset her so he changed tactics. "Not everyone has the ability to recognize their better half instantly. For some it's a gradual process as it is in their cases." He said pointing to the other three couple and before any of them started arguing with him, he held up his hand. "Please don't jump down my throat I am just proving a point, not saying anything is wrong in the way you fell in love. All I am saying is that some people do feel the instant connection they just don't believe it. Even in the way these guys fell in love, the connection was already there otherwise why would they have even continued to see each other after the first date?"

Amit looked at his sister curiously, while Ria was alerted to the undercurrent tension between her cousin and Gopi. "Ahembhai, why are you so sure of this? Have you felt like this before?"

Ahem glanced at Ria then turned back to Gopi. "Yes Ria I have." He surprised everyone to silence. Gopi looked away and stared at her plate.

It was Rashi who spoke up seeing Gopi look dejected and in pain. "And I just wonder how many of these connections you have made in your life time?" Gopi's head snapped towards Rashi, Ahem also turned to her and Jigar glared at Rashi for questioning his Bhai.

Raj spoke quickly to diffuse the sudden tension in the room. "I can answer that Rashi. I grew up with Ahem we went to school and college together and I can honestly say that it was only once that he felt like this. Believe me girls couldn't see past Ahem's good looks and genuinely nice personality to any other guys on the campus in college. They all tried to get his attention but none of them got it."

Ria looked at her cousin with renewed respect. "So did you meet her in college? And where is she, what happened to her?"

Again Raj answered for Ahem. "No Ria not in college, it was much later."

Ahem stared at Gopi but she refused to return his gaze. He relaxed back in his chair. "Ria I lost her because of my own stupidity."

"So why didn't you try to win her back?" This time Kinjal asked the question. "I met her more than three years ago, and felt the instant connection but she took little convincing, finally she agreed to go out with me and we spent almost a week getting to know one another. On the last night we were together she got cold feet and her insecurities returned. She suggested we stay apart for six months to be sure of our feelings. So I gave in agreed to her condition of meeting at Empire State Building on a set date and time. The other condition was that if one of us don't show then we assume that he or she changed their mind and it wasn't love at all. No questions, no explanations if we were to meet again."

"Please don't tell me she didn't show because something tragic happened." Ria said softly. She never knew this side of her cousin even existed.

Ahem looked at Gopi again and this time she was watching him with a neutral expression on her face. "No Ria, it was me who didn't go to meet her. She probably waited for me for a long time and when I didn't show everything she believed about herself, all her insecurities regarding her looks was confirmed in her eyes."

Ria looked at her cousin then at Gopi. This is why her cousin and aunts relationship was strained. It must have happened three years ago when her cousin was supposed to be engaged to her uncle's business associates daughter. The families had wanted to merge the companies together to make bigger names for themselves. Ahem had refused to the alliance but the family pressure and his mom refusal to listen to his reasons had made him give in and agree.

What no one knew at the time was that the girl he was supposed to be engaged to was already in love with someone and eloped with the guy on the night of engagement. Then later they found out the business associate was about to go bankrupt and he needed the Modi's to bail him out and that is why he proposed the marriage of his daughter to Ahem.

Ria remembered how angry and devastated her cousin had been and at the time she thought he had liked the girl he was supposed to marry but now she knew why he spent so much time away from the family. "Did you look for her?" She asked quietly. She knew this was probably causing Gopi lot of pain but at the same time she needed Gopi to understand and forgive her cousin.

Ahem realized Ria had figures out the whole story. He glanced at Amit but couldn't meet his eyes. He looked suspicious but hasn't yet figured out Ahem was talking about Gopi. "I regret that the most, I should have ignored her condition and sought her out instead of wallowing in my own pain and self pity. She needed me and I was not there for her. I had told her to trust me that I would never hurt her. I had convinced her that I was sure of my feelings but I hurt her the most."

Gopi swallowed her tears, he hadn't believed her lie.

She wanted to scream at him to stop saying he regretted anything. She had just resigned herself to living the lonely existence. Even if she understood why he did what he did she still couldn't be with him. She couldn't take another heartbreak like that, there was no future in him pursing the relationship that was never meant to be. She stood up and glanced at her wristwatch. "Excuse me," She hoped her shaky voice didn't give her away, "I better finish getting ready, and I want to leave by nine." She turned and walked out ignoring her brother and Ria calling out to her.

Rashi stepped in before anyone could follow Gopi. "Bhai she said she was going to see Sheetal aunty tonight so she wanted to go home early to finish some work first."

Amit nodded. "I forgot aunty is coming today." he turned to Ria. "We will also have to leave by early afternoon so we can go see her tonight." Ria nodded absently.

Jigar was thoughtful as he glanced around the room. He knew his brother had been in love with someone three years ago but didn't realize how serious the relationship had been. He wondered what happened to the girl he was in love with. Whatever it may be, now he was even more convinced his brother needed someone in his life to forget the past. He is going to talk to his parents'; he knew just how he is going to convince his brother to get married.

Gopi closed the bedroom door quietly and stood in the middle of the room. She felt a sense of doom take over her body, she couldn't stop trembling. Dear god how is she going to stop him from finding out the whole truth? He already knew she lied to him the night before, now he will want to know why.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not hear Ahem enter her room. He closed and locked the door quietly and whispered her name. "Gopi?"

She turned startled to hear Ahem call her name; she looked at him once and turned to finish her packing. "Why are you here Ahem? We have nothing to say to each other."

"You didn't think I would easily believe the BS you fed me last night did you?" He paused to take a deep breath. "Yes, initially, I did but then I thought about what you said and how I felt. I realized I had no right to be mad or hurt, because if you didn't show up at our meeting place then neither did I, so why should it hurt right?"

Gopi turned to him. "Then what was all that about little while ago? Why bring all that up in front of others?"

Ahem moved close to her. "Because you were there that night, because I hurt you when I promised you I wouldn't hurt you. Because I need you in my life, because I want a second chance to make up for my stupidity, for not being strong enough to stand up for our love."

She took a deep breath. Hey Kanaji please give me strength to resist him. I love him so much but I cannot be with him. "Ahem yes I was there, you should have left it alone. If I hadn't forgiven you I would have never lied to you. I do know why you were not there that night and I also understand your reasons for not being there." She turned away from him. "Believe me I know the importance of parents and how it feels not to have them in your life. I would never wish that for you or anyone."

Ahem heard the pain in her voice and wanted to strangle her parents for not realizing how much they had hurt her by ignoring her. He felt his eyes sting at her pain and questioned the almighty. "Dear god, what have you done to her? Please help me heal her hurts."

Gopi gathered her strength and turned back to him. "Ahem you believe in destiny and things that are meant to be then take what happened as a sign of things that are not meant to be. We don't belong together. Let go of the past and move on, find someone who can fill your life with love and happiness. I no longer have the ability to do any of that for you. In fact I never had it, and should have kept my distance from you when we first met."

Ahem took a step closer to her, cupped her face in his hands and looked down at her. "I already found the person I am meant to be with, the person who fills my life with love and happiness. You just proved to me you still have feelings for me. If I can't have you then I want no one else in my life." He kissed her forehead and moved back. There was so much he wanted to say to her and ask her but he decided to leave it for now. She had a long drive back and he didn't want to upset her. It was enough for now that she knows he won't back off easily. He walked to the door. "Drive carefully. I will see you again soon." He left before he changed his mind and took her in arms to never let go.

Two days later Gopi was just finishing her eight-hour tour when her pager beeped. She said goodbye to her patient and looked at the number, it was the unit secretary wanting her to stop at the desk. She frowned and hoped it didn't delay her departure. She needed to go home and prepare herself for dinner at Modis. Kokila aunty had called her especially to invite her along with her aunty and her parents. She couldn't refuse the invitation. The wedding was in five days and this is the final preparations, and now that they know of her existence, Ria's parents also insisted on her presence.

"Hi Liz, you paged me?" She greeted the secretary. Gopi removed the pager from her waistband to hand it over for the day. Liz gave her a mischievous smile, Gopi looked around to see all her co-workers were also gathered around the desk. Gopi felt a tingle go down her spine and wondered what was about to take place.

Liz reached under her desk and pulled out the most breath takingly beautiful crystal vase, with what looked like a dozen white roses and one perfect burgundy rose woven together with baby's breath flowers. Gopi could feel the increased tempo of her heart rate, and wondered if anyone else could hear the loud sound of its beats. She could feel the sweat on her palms and wanted to rub them on the side of her scrub pants to get rid of the sudden wetness. She could feel her stomach flip flopping even as she noted the expectant looks from her friends. She reached out to take the flowers and saw her hands tremble visibly. She took calming breaths and looked at Liz questioningly.

Liz grinned at her and also held out a card for Gopi. "These were delivered for you few minutes ago." She didn't need to read the card to guess who they were from. He had called her two nights ago to ask if she reached home safely and to wish her goodnight. When she asked him how he got her number he wouldn't tell her. He again called the next day just to say "Hi." She didn't know how to persuade him to give up on her.

And now this, why did he have to do this at her work where she can't even refuse to take the flowers with everyone watching her? She looked around at her co-workers and knew exactly what they were thinking but not bold enough to say it out loud, except for one, of course. "Well, well, didn't know you had it in you Gopi. Does he need glasses or is he desperate?" Gopi hated confrontations, but she also knew if she let this one get away things will only get worst. She turned to the blond girl standing few feet away from her with a victorious smirk on her face and smiled. Gopi also didn't like to embarrass people so she moved close to the girl and spoke softly enough so the whole unit didn't hear what she said, only the few standing close by. "Don't worry about how he is Kendra, at least he is not married." Her co-workers eyes flared in temper and before she said anything else Gopi held up her hand. "If you have a personal problem with me lets go outside and talk about it, if you have a professional problem with me let's hash it out in boss' office, but keep your snide comments to yourself. Because if I start replying every time you want to get a rise out of me things won't look pretty for you. Hope we understand each other." Gopi turned and walked towards the staff locker room to get her purse.

When she came out of the locker room she was surprised to see Dr. Joshi leaning against the wall with arms folded and a big smile on his face. "Staking claims is he?" She raised an eyebrow and he laughed and held up his hands. "You sure do know how to handle yourself, does he know about this side of you?"

Gopi flashed back to the first time she laid eyes on Ahem and nodded her head. "Yes he does, and you know it too, since you know everything else about me." He grinned wider and fell in step with her to walk towards the exit.

"Hmm..dozen white roses and one burgundy rose. I take it you know the significance of this also." Gopi didn't answer, she didn't know what he was getting at but she was sure he had a motive for seeking her out so she waited for him to get to the point. Once they were outside he walked with her to her car, she opened the passenger side door and placed the roses, card and her purse on the seat, she closed the door and turned towards Dr. Joshi. "Okay I am all ears Dr. Joshi, you obviously have something on your mind, so tell me." She folded her arms and leaned against her car.

Raj looked down for a moment then looked at her with a serious expression. "First stop being so formal when we are alone." When she nodded he continued. "He still loves you, please forgive him and put him out of his misery. You know he called me the moment he saw you three and half years ago, and yes I know all the details, most of them anyway. He was so excited and happy and I was glad he got what he wanted."

Gopi did not want to hear this, but now that she told him to speak she couldn't stop him either. "Raj that was in the past he needs to move on." Raj shook his head. "That's just the thing, for him you are it, he never let go, and he never will. I was surprised he let his family talk him into that disaster of alliance, but I also understand that family is just as important to him. He has always been family oriented and his mom played an important role in his life up to that point. At first he fought them, begged them but no one would listen to him and he didn't say anything about being in love with someone until it was too late. If it was just his uncle pushing him he would have fought it but then his mom also started pressuring him and he broke under all that pressure."

Raj also turned and leaned against the car. He had a far away look in his eyes as if he was lost in the past memories. "When the truth about the girl and her father came out he broke. He fought his family and left home. He came to my beach house and stayed drunk for a week. It was painful to watch him in pain, but I didn't know how to help him. Once he was sober again I asked him if he wanted to go find you, but he said he hurt you enough already and didn't want to cause you more pain. He thought by then you may have moved on and found someone else to be happy with and he wouldn't interrupt your life again."

"Raj, I already forgave him, I hold no grudge. I already told him this two days ago, I do understand his reasons, family is very important. Why should he give up his twenty plus years relations for someone whom he only knew for a week? In fact he didn't even know everything about me. So you don't have to ask me to forgive him, there is nothing to forgive. Yes I was hurt I am not going to deny it, but once I learned the truth I let it go. In fact I lo-" She stopped and looked away before continuing. "I mean I respect him even more now than ever for choosing his family over me."

Raj looked at her sharply. "Why deny you love him, it is not hidden?" When she looked at him with alarmed expression he was quick to reassure her. "I see it because I know your history with him, but I am sure it is not hidden from him either. Why are you pushing him away? There hasn't been a day when he hasn't thought of you. You are always with him."

Gopi hardened her heart and turned to Raj. "Because there is no future in this relationship. It will only bring him more misery and pain. I will not put him thru the same thing he went thru three years ago. Choosing between me and his family and if I give into him this is what it will come down to."

Raj frowned, Ahem had been mysterious the other morning, all he had said was that it looks like it will be a tough battle but he is willing to fight it. "Are you afraid he will choose his family over you again?"

Gopi shook her head no. "I am afraid he will choose me over his family this time and I cannot let that happen. Raj no one know better than me the importance of family and I am not going to separate him from them. His relationship with his mom is strained enough already, I am not willing to add to it." Raj was surprised by her reasons. Then he heard her last line and it caused a twig of pain for his friend and Gopi. "Mothers are important, he should let go of his hurt and fix his relationship with his mom."

"Would that make you happy?" She looked at him questioningly. "If he fixed his relationship with his mom, would it make you feel better?" Gopi nodded slowly. "Yeah I guess it would. His mom is very sweet and loves him very much and only wants what's best for him, he shouldn't let old hurts effect his relationship with his mom."

"Why are you sure that being with him will separate him from his family?" Raj asked next.

Gopi bit her lip but did her best to explain without saying everything. "Modi's are very reputable in this part of Indian community Raj and my past is very ugly. There is more but that should be enough reason for him to stay away from me." She glanced at her watch and realized if she didn't leave now she will be late. She moved away from the car. "I better go, I am meeting my family at his place for dinner tonight and I don't want to be late." She walked around to the driver's side and opened the door. She glanced up to see him still watching her.

"Gopi those flowers should tell you that he has already chosen, whether you are with him or not, he has already decided who he wants and if he can't have you then he wants no one." He turned and walked away leaving Gopi shocked.

Gopi sat in the car and glanced at the card. She reached for it and opened the envelope. The front was decorated with different color of roses. She traced the words written in big bold letters on the front cover: For my love. She opened the card and a familiar tune started playing softly. She felt her eyes sting, it was a musical card, but not just any musical card it played the song he played specially for her on that last night and said was perfect for them. She blinked her eyes to bring the hand written words in focus.

To: My one and only Love

Do you remember?

One perfect burgundy rose to remind you of your unconscious beauty this is why I picked burgundy rose that night, I asked for one without thorns to tell you I fell in love with you at first sight.

One dozen white roses to say I am sorry.

They also represent my loyalty to you and my pure love for you.

Please forgive me and give me a second chance because I don't think I can go on without you.

Always yours and forever

Love, Ahem.

Gopi closed the card and placed it back in the envelop; She gently caressed the roses and let her tears fall freely. Please forgive me my love but I cannot be with you. I have to live with my pain and my secrets alone, I cannot share them with you. It was a long while before Gopi drove towards home.

*~+~*

Thank you everyone.😊

Res

Uuuf wat an update! So dr joshi and ria know everything about wat had happened. Finally rashi opened her mouth and insulted ahem i could not stop laughing when she did tat but now i don blame ahem coz sometimes we do tend to place family above love but now destiny has given a second chance and i hope they utilize it. About gopi s past i don know why i felt she was abused i hope tat s not wat u r thinking and i am way off track. Am really waiting to read how rashi and gopi became friends n rashi s past as well! Superb update

Res.

brilliant update shilpa...very well written👏
just loved this update...
so ahem is getting to know about gopi's past little by little...i think ahem did the right thing when he chose his family over gopi first time...coz we sometimes think about our family and chose them over our loved ones...but how did gopi know the reason why ahem didn show up on that day???
and i really like how raj is helping out both of them to get back together...
so what is jigar planning to do???
cant wait for the next update...loved this one a lot

Hmm... I am running out of words to praise your writing Shilpa. I really do not know how you do it but Hats off👏⭐️👏

Marvelous update... So many things between them and I sympathize with Aham and Gopi... It was both happy and sad at the same time.. So much love for each other and yet they are apart due to a lot of reasons.. Especially her parents😡

Aham.. He really is a sweetheart. His love is so much palpable in your update.. Superb Shilpa.. I could feel the pain in his words when he told everyone what he had done and smart man immediately understood her.. I am glad he knows it is not an easy thing to get her back.. But he knows Gopi loves him.. So he will never let go now😛... The roses were so very poignant.. I know Aham will get to be with his destiny and he will slowly convince her to let him soothe her pain.. I am just looking forward to that part of it..😃

And what can I tell you about Gopi? So much kindness and understanding even when she was heart broken. She is indeed beautiful..😊.. No wonder Aham loves her so much. She knows what family is and their importance in life.. Her explanation of why she forgave Aham is so nice. Her pain in her own lack of family drives her. But her confidence in his love for her is so amazing.. Yet she is ready to give up all that because she feels she would be the reason for him to leave his family.. Her past that she is so convinced would only hurt him.. I am waiting to see what happened but now I am convinced whatever it is, Aham will never let her go again..😊

I loved how Rashi's outburst to Aham made way for Aham to tell Gopi indirectly that he knows and he is terribly sorry.. Raj is the best friend ever and as for Ria and Amit, I hope they understand and help Aham convince her to give a chance to be happy...

The only point is what is Jigar planning. I hope he does not do something stupid that hurts Gopi again..😕 or for that matter Aham..

Once again.. Hats off Shilpa.. Do I need to say I will be looking for the next update as eagerly as I did the last one? Thank you so much for this one😃
