Ahem continues to fight this battle between his mind and his heart.
He continues to be drawn naturally and magnetically to his Gopi.
It is the day of the wedding and both Ahem and Gopi approached the dining table where the whole family was. He acknowledged that he was feeling better after having his green tea made by his wife. Even when Baa teased him that he will feel even better when he sees Gopi all dressed up in the evening. He turned and scanned his wife with meaning. Baa knows what buttons to press for Ahem as she is aware that he is attracted to his wife's beauty. After hearing from Jigar that the whole family will be attending the wedding, Ahem's tension increased. His expressionless face displayed his disbelief of this news and began backtracking as his tension rose. His mum's word was final leaving with no option.
Ahem struggled to have his way with decisions being taken for him at every direction. He felt bombarded and overruled at every turn. These were his family members whom he respected and loved, at the same time his incomplete sentences of weak excuses failed him. His mind did trouble him with, what if it was his ex girlfriend Anita, what would he do?
As he walked towards the wedding hall pondering this 'what if' he sensed that Gopi was lagging behind. When he turned around, he noticed her struggling with her earring. Upon finding out what it was, without any hesitation he went to her to resolve her problem. This action of Ahem tells that he will not leave her struggling with anything. He would go to her aide to resolve anything that is making her feel uncomfortable. This is something to note for a moment she may be in while at the wedding.
With his arrival in the the hall, his eyes searched for the truth, which came face to face with him in his pathway, in the presence of his whole family including his wife. Ahem was immediately frozen with an immense sense of being uncomfortable. Was it natural for Ahem to be jealous at her for being so happy with her activities and desires of moving on having seen him a day back? Or was this a moment of facing reality that this is it? Or was it something else altogether?
Upon realising that the bride was none other than Anita, his ex girlfriend, Ahem's mind began spirally out of control. Now that they were there for the wedding he wondered what other surprises waited for him. This raging mind and thudding heart will escalate into a battle of the wills. One has to give way to the other, but which and how?
