So I was thinking about it today, and it occurred to me that there is another possibility to this whole Ahem-is-always-angry thing. (Please forgive if this has been discussed.)
What if Ahem has a Mr. Darcy (from Pride and Prejudice) complex? What if he has realized he is falling for Gopi and is more attracted to her than he'd like to admit? He has had tender moments with her - fire scene, hands touching the spoon etc. What if it's making him crazy because he likes her and can't stand the fact that he is indeed attracted to someone who is 'below' him? What if his tears today were not because his mom was almost hurt, but that he can't believe that Gopi would have done something like this? What if he believes it would be easier on him if she wasn't there in the house to drive him crazy?
What say?
