Part-17
Part17-1:
"Gopi, stop fidditing Ahem jiju will get the project" Rashi words brought gopi back to earth again. "Ji rashi ben" Gopi replied but turned bright pink. Rashi smiled, need not to say she understood why her sister is blushing. Hetal entered the kitchen excitedly "Gopi dikra, ras..., err woh gopi dikra, jigar have called, Ahem have finalized the project." "true kakiji!!" gopi chimmed excitedly. "wow mummyji" rashi shouted. HEtal smiled at gopi and when her smile came to rashi it became a little dim. But rashi dint mind, atleast she smiled rashi thought. "Gopi dikra, prepare a wonderful meal, everybody is coming to home. I have invited kinjal and dhawalji too.It wil be like a party," "ji...kakiji...woh...ahemji" "Dont worry, i wil ask kokila to join u in this celebration also, after all ur ahem's wife and u too should participate in his success. i wil inform kokila
and wil join u teek che" "ji kakiji" Hetal left and rashi understood that hetal dint mention about her mother, it means she was not invited. She felt a little dissapointed after all urmila was her mother but understood that her house wont welcome her mother anymore after the drama she created with gopi.Hetal knocked on kokila's door and entered. "Kokila, ahem got the project, jigar have just called. AHem is still in the meeting room it seems. All the men are coming to home. I have asked gopi and rashi to prepare a grand lunch and i have even invited kinjal and her husband to celebrate. I think its k with u" "ji mota bhabhi" kokila replied. Hetal sighed. Kokila was hardly speaking to her since 2 days. She have to know the reason. "err kokila i wanted to ask u something. I think gopi should also join us in the party.I mean after all she is Ahem's wife."
Kokila stood up and replied "do as u like mota bhabhi. Who am i to say?" Saying so Kokila left the room leaving hetal speechless. "Gopi!!" rashi shouted "for god sake gopi, this is my final warning. If again u have lost in ur dream land then this time i wil myself run to kakiji and inform about u." Gopi smiled in response and continued her work. But gopi's mind was repeating the scene yesterday night. Their dance, their chat, Ahem's smile and the love in his eyes, love for her.For the first time gopi felt really sure that Ahem loved her without any doubts. Finally he accepted her as his wife. Her dream came true and this time it wont shatter into pieces. "Rashi" kokila called. Rashi was entering the kitchen after paying the ration bill. "Ji kakiji" Hetal too joined them in the hall. "Can i know rashi that why did u sleep in the 2nd guest room yestarday?"
"whatever is there btwn u and jigar u should solve this matter btwn urself only. Next time dont repeat this mistake.understood?" Hetal was shocked to learn rashi selpt in the guestroom.Rashi dint know what to answer to kokila. Her eyes brimmed with tears again after remembering jigar's wordsShe spoke in a dead tone "woh kakiji, jigarji had some work, so..sorry kakiji it wont repeat again!" saying so rashi swept off unable to hide her tears and both koki and hetal understood that she lied by watching her eyes. Kokila turned towards hetal and spoke "sorry mota bhabhi that i interferred in ur bahu's matter." Before hetal could reply kokila went upstairs and hetal was confused with kokila's behaviour. The doorbell rang and both gopi and rashi entered into the hall expecting ahem and jigar.But to gopi's dissapointment and rashi's shock both
kinjal and urmila entered into the modi bhawan. Both of them greeted kinjal and urmila. Rashi spoke "Mummy aap? I dint expect u" "of course why would u expect me. Dekha vevanji, now a days hardly this girl speaks to me. U might forgot me but still a mother have to look after her daughters right.gopi dikra, i am sorry for that day to talk rudely to u, i was depressed for rashi, and dint knew what came into my mind. I dont even recollect my words that day. But still if i spoke something hurtful pls forgive me!" "No, mami why are u saying such words. I knew u were upset for me but dont worry, i have no grrudge against u mami"gopi spoke. "God bless u beta! Vevanji, hope u dont mind. Dhawal will arrive late. He have some work to complete. Hence i have accompained kinjal. After all how can i send my vahu alone.Thought that even i should
congratulate u all and leave." Hetal just looked at urmila and spoke "no problem urmila ben, u can stay too." Then turned towards gopi and spoke "i wil inform kokila about kinjal arrival." and left to kokila's room. Rashi noticed her MIL's cold attitude towards her mother and decided to make her mother leave.By now she understood that her mother dint came for her nor for gopi's forgiveness. She came for the royal feast held for everyone.As soon as hetal dissapeared urmila's good nature too dissappeared. She gave a glare at gopi and pushed her aside. Then caught rashi's hand and led her away into the kitchen. Both gopi and kinjal were shocked with urmila's change. GOpi turned towards kinjal and gave her a warm smile, kinjal rolled her eyes ignoring her. At that moment the door bell rang and gopi went to open the door. There was a man standing with
a packet "ji is mr.ahem modi at home?..." "Mummy wat are u doing?" "chup. U have to say what u are doing here. From the day u entered into this house, u have never attend my calls properly. i ask what work are u doing that u are so busy to call me. And what about that gopi gaawar. U have said that she is not seeing ahem anymore. But i can clearly see that she is on cloud nine right now.I never saw such radiating happiness in her face. How can she be happy if her relation with Ahem is not good. Something is definetly cooking in her life and u stupid girl instead of watching her, u have buried in this household work to make ur in laws happy. Open ur eyes, wat happened to u now - a- days. If u keep on being dumb like this, that gopi wil win ahem's heart and take over this modi mansion." "Mummy, nothing wil happen like this. I mean i am ur daughter
mummy. I know what i am doing. I have to be in a low profile for now so that all can believe me. And why do u think that i am not keeping an eye on gopi. Trust me mummy. Her life is even worse than before. She is just happy for Ahemjiju's project. U know how she is! Even ahemjiju takes a tea from her, she keep on smiling the whole day. Believe me mummy!" "teek hai. IF u say so. But still i dont trust that gopi completely. I am not a fool like u. I really smell something fishy." "Mummy leave gopi alone for sometime. But mummy pls leave the house rit now. Nobody dint forget the drama u created on that day. Did u see how mummji looked at u? Just imagine what kakiji wil do to u. Mummy i bet, she wil not take ur presence so lightly. So for today just leave k" "Arrey, wat a scary cat u have become. I can look after myself and dont forget i am
Kinjal's MIL also. Now follow me" Urmila left towards hall and rashi prayed that everything should go fine. "Kokila" Hetal entered into her room "Kinjal is here" Kokila just nodded her head and stood up to leave the room. Hetal stopped her and spoke "Kokila, i knew u are upset with me, but if u wont tell me the reason then how can i find out. Did i did anything wrong?" "Mota bhabhi i knew u always consider my gopi vahu as ur daughter. But in order to protect her, i never knew that u would start lying to others." "Lie! what lie kokila?" "I knew that gopi vahu helped Ahem and not u. Jigar told me everything." Hetal was shocked and felt guilty at the same time.Kokila continued "Mota bhabhi, always children tend to follow the path of the parents. Today u have lied to me inorder to save gopi vahu. what if tomorrow jigar follows ur same route in order
to save others. .This can lead to many disruptions in the family.Parents have a great influence on their children's life and ur rashi is the best example for this,i can understand why the children tried to hide from me the fact that gopi vahu helped Ahem but i dint expect this from u mota bhabhi. why would u think that i would shout at gopi vahu if i come to know that she helped ahem. After all gopi is ahem's wife. I knew that she cant resist herself when Ahem needed her. Infact i would say that it is every wife's duty to help her husband when in need no matter how many obstacles she might to face. Do u think that i am happy to keep my vahu and son live seperately. I am only doing this in order to bring them togther mota bhabhi. I want Ahem to know Gopi's worth in his life. I was even concerned for jigar and rashi's relationship when i saw rashi sleeping in
the guest room. I want our children to be happy and being their parents we have the responsibility to make their differences clear.After all these years mota bhabhi i thought u might have understood me but i am disapointed that even u dint understood me" "I am sorry kokila! u r rit. I did a big mistake understanding u. I never thought about u. My only concern was gopi. I was afraid that what u might have said to her when u wil come to know that gopi was helping Ahem in his project. She was so happy kokila, i dint want to spoil her happiness. I was just afraid that she might face ur wrath because she went against ur order of helping Ahem."
Part 17-2:
"Project! what project mota bhabhi?" "Ahem's project kokila. I am sorry that i lied to u on that day when u asked me regarding Ahem's room. I dint clean his room, it was gopi. Poor girl i think she couldnt help herself when she saw Ahem needed her help. She was the one who took care of Ahem since his project started. She took care of his every need as she always do. Kokila it was I who tried to save her, that girl tried very hard to keep this as a secret but when u asked me i understood the matter and dint had the heart to make the children suffer becuase of ur rules. Dont worry kokila, dont think that ur plan got spoilt because of me or gopi. But think that what if Ahem realized gopi' s worth in his life. What if he understood her value, her help in his need. what if this project brought a difference in Ahem and all the misunderstandings have been cleared.
Kokila i think this time, Ahem have changed his opinion regarding gopi because the look on gopi's face is clearly evident. I never saw such content and peace in her face until today. She looked as if she got everything in her life.Kokila, Ahem is ur son, the way gopi changed u with her good nature, she might have changed Ahem too. Dont know why but i have a strong feeling that their differences are settled at last. Once again i am sorry kokila for lying to u. I dint knew that jigar knew all this. Atleast i am glad that he spoke the truth to u" "No mota bhabhi, everyone lied to me" Kokila was shocked to learn the truth. She confroted hetal regarding the truth about gopi attending to ahem's wound but no where in her dreams did she expected gopi helping Ahem since his project have began.All her missing pieces were finally falling into place. Kokila began
to understand everything. All of a sudden why Ahem started to depend on hetal and dint intimate her.The fact was he depended on gopi and tried to hide the fact from her. All the previous incidents flashed before her. Ahem's concern voice "
Mom, why gopi, i wil give u medicine", Jigar's indirect hint "
Kakiji! gopi bhabhi dint break any rules. she was just helping", Rashi's tension "
GOPI! kakiji why gopi,i wil help u". Everyone lied to her,everyone including gopi vahu too. Everyone knew this secret except her. "Kokila what are u saying. Who lied to u?" "U wil find out now mota bhabhi. come with me!" tell him that i gave him this.jai shri krishna" "jai shri krishna" gopi folded her hands and the packet fell down and its contents are revealed. Gopi bent to pick them up and her whole world shook slipped from her feet. "Divorce papers!" Gopi could not believe
her eyes. All of a sudden the vast hall was suffocating her. "Divorce papers, did ahemji wants to leave me, No it couldnt be, he loves me, i think he loves me.No i know he loves me. I saw it in his eyes. I cant be cheated again. Can i? No, it is my mistake. I have started to learn recently. I can be mistaken. I can read this wrong. It cant be divorce. No, i have to ask someone" GOpi traced her fingers around the words hoping that they would read something else other than divorce. She lookes around frantically for help and found kinjal looking at her confused. "Kinjal ben!" Gopi rushed forward and placed the papers in her hands. "Kinjal ben! could u read this for me. I mean these might be Ahmeji's office papers rit.Kinjal ben pls say" Kinjal looked at the papers and was shocked to see divorce papers. Kinjal looked straight at Gopi and replied bluntly
"No bhabhi, these are in deed divorce papers!" Gopi world came crashing down infront of her eyes. "Why, why did this happened to me again. I thought I found my happiness again. No no this have to be a misunderstanding. AHemji was nice to me.He told their was a surprise for me. was these papers a surprise?" "Gopi" rashi came rushing towards her. "What happend gopi. why are u crying?" "Rashi ben...woh...woh...these...papers...no..ahemji...wont...do..this rit. Rashiben u told na ahemji cant do this" Rashi got scared to watch gopi. She was beyond anybodys control. "Gopi wat are u trying to say. I am not getting anything. First calm urself. Tell me, wat about ahemjiju. what happend. Is everything alright. Did anybody said anything to u?" Gopi tried to reply but couldnt. HEr voice was chocked and she couldnt control the tears in her eyes.
Urmila shouted "arrey why are u standing like a dumb statue. Now say some thing?" "MUMMY, Please" Rashi shouted at her. Urmila was shocked. THis was the first time she shouted at her defending gopi. "Mummy pls, try to understand. Gopi wat happned. Pls say something" "Ahem bhai sent gopi bhabhi divorce papers" Kinjal replied. Urmila was on cloud nine hearing this news and rashi was shocked. "what?" she shouted and snatched the papers from her. She saw that indeed these were the divorce papers. "How can this happen. I thought Ahemjiju loved her."Rashi thought. "Rashi ben!" gopi spoke "rashi ben pls say what are these. Ahemji is not going to divorce me will he. Rashi ben, he..he speaks to me nicely. HE said we are friends. He likes me rashi ben. Pls say something rashiben." Rashi looked at gopi who was looking at her expectantly.
Rashi too dint have any answers to give to her. She confessed everything in order to save her sister's relationship but why would Ahemjiju wants to divorce her."Gopi dont worry, this might be a misunderstanding.I wil tell kakiji now. everything wil sort out now." "Why are u lieing rashi?" Kinjal spoke. "Gopi bhabhi is a gawar, u r not. U can clearly see that they are the divorce papers rit. Gopi bhabhi i am surprised that why are u looking so shocked. everyone knew that AHem bhai hates u. Who would he want a idiot wife like u?" "KINJAL" Kokila shouted climbing down the stairs followed by hetal. Even Chirag and Jigar entered the house. "Kinjal, think before u talk. Do u know that u are talking to ur brothers wife?" "I am sorry maa, but which wife u are talking about. Ahem bhai have himself sent these divorce papers to bhabhi" Everyone was shocked
to hear the news and kokila snatched the papers from rashi's hand. She could not believe her eyes. How can Ahem do such thing. Every family member broke down with this news. Jigar was higly confused. "How can this happen. I thought AHem bhai have changed then where did this divorce papers come from? No this cant be?" Gopi was waiting with bathed breath for kokila to say something. To come up with a solution. But for the first time Kokila dint meet her eyes. Nobody was looking at her.She took a step forward and caught her hand "Maaji!" gopi asked pleadingly. Kokila shut her eyes harder trying to control her pain. "Is it true?" Kokila slowly met her eyes and gopi imediately recognized the defeat look in kokis eyes "NO" Gopi thought. "This cant be happening.". "Gopi bhabhi" Jigar spoke "Bhabhi dont worry, this is a misunderstanding. I know
bhai. I am sure he is changed. This is definetly somebody's trick to break u down" Jigar spoke looking at Rashi. Rashi just looked at jigar and bent her head down,whereas urmila was surprised to see the new avtaar of jigar. He was looking like 2nd Ahem to her.Kokila turned towards gopi.She ran a hand affectionately around her head and spoke "Gopi vahu, dont worry.I wil talk with ahem.Have confidence in me and just dont believe in other words." She said the last statement looking at Kinjal. That was enough to flare Kinjal's anger "Haan maa. U r rit. I am a stranger always to u. Since from childhood i have been a stranger to u.Ur entire atttention was for only Ahem bhai. Everything was about Ahem bhai only. It was like u have never ever considered me as ur daughter. At that time, i kept silent thinking about Bhai's nature but now i can understand u have
never loved me. U loved just Ahem bhai and now u love this gopi more than him." "Kinjal!" Kokila spoke threatingly but stilll with a voice of hurt. "why maa, felt bad after listening the truth. But i wont be quiet today. Now this gopi became so important to u more than me and bhai that u have always supported her whether she is rit or wrong. Because of this girl u have ignored me and now started to ignore bhai also. This girl is the main responsible reason of my problems and bhai's too!" Kokila became furious and shouted "Shut up kinjal. How dare u blame gopi vahu for all the misfortune u have created urself. If werent for my gopi vahu then u would have been sulking in the house unable to show ur face in the society. It was ur wrong doing that u are suffering now. Dont forget that my gopi vahu is the only one person she supported u in ur drama.
She only brought happiness into this family and into Ahem's life too. Meri gopi vahu is a gem. She always care for the people no matter how they treat her." "Maaji!"Gopi held kokila hand to stop her but kokila continued" See! still my gopi vahu cares for u though u have used her for ur advantage. I have no pity for u kinjal. U really deserve this punishment!" "Oh really maa.If i deserve to be punished for taking advantage of gopi then what punishment should be given toAhem bhai" Nobody dint understand what kinjal was hinting but Ahem stopped dead in his tracks.It felt like his worst nightmare was coming true. Everyone were stupidly watching Kinjal's drama but only jigar noticed Ahem's arrival. He was so shocked with kinjal words that he stood at the door glaring at her.
Part 17-3:
"What nonsense u are talking kinjal?" Kokila shouted. "Yes maa, what i am talking is the truth which wil be hard for u to digest i think. U said that i deserve punishment for using this girl then tell me maa what punishemnt wil u give to ahem bhai. Because he took a vast advantage of this girl more than me. He used her for his project becuase u have refused to help him.!" A dead silence filled the room. Kokila couldnt believe what she was hearing and gopi was unable to process what kinjal said. She was experiencing an infinte pain but still she had a ray of hope in her heart. "My ahemji wouldnt do this with me" Gopi was repeating within herself. Kinjal turned towards gopi and spoke "What were u saying that bhai loves u. He called u as his friend. Stupid girl it was all a drama. A big drama so that u can help him concentrate on his project. Bhai knew very well
that by speaking sweet words with u, u would do anything for him. He dint loved u gopi, he was just using u. Tell me gopi.Did he ever say he loved u? say?" Realization hit gopi instantly, she realized that whatever Ahem spoke to her he never said he loved her. He always treated her as a companion, a partner for help, an escort. All of a sudden all her dreams and hopes were crashing down. She dint want to believe this but now she was unable to ignore kinjal words too. It felt like suddenly she was in middle of an vast ocean. Unable to meet kinjal knowing smile she looked down. Tears were pouring non stop from her eyes but she was unaware of anything except the pain she was feeling.Gopi's reaction made everyone's worst suspicion come true. "No No No" Ahem was mentally shouting hoping somebody would stop kinjal. "See maa. What have i told is the truth.
Ahem bhai have himself accepted to me that he used her for his help.I think ur perfect son is not so perfect anymore. Now tell me maa who deserve more punishment, me or bhai?" "Shut up" Ahem thundred from the door. Everyone looked at Ahem. Gopi heart immediately swelled with hope. Ahem stormed into the hall and stood before kinjal. He was looking really mad and furious. "Shut up with ur nonsense rit now. How dare u insult my wife. How can u judge whether i love her or not. U dont have any rit to interfere in my life kinjal" "wow bhai, i should have guess, atleast i have admitted my guilt whereas u as usuall want to blame me all ur wrong doings in order to preserve ur status in front of mom. But today i wont take the blame bhai. U have urself asked me for the help when mom refused to help u. On the day of my birthday when i have asked u about
gopi u have kept silent conforming that u have taken her help taking my suggestion. I knew that u have come to thank me that day and ur passing by was just a lie." Kokila immediately remembered her talk with ahem. That day she wondered why ahem without telling her went to kinjal's house. Now she knew why he did. "Yes! i have asked u for ur help. But i never took ur suggestion regarding gopi. Yes i accept i took her help for having no other option but now things changed. Even then i never thought of using her, she was helping me and i was helping her. Our relation was based on friendship and mutual understanding but not the way u think. And talking about my arrival to ur house, yes i have arrived to meet u purposely not to say thank u to u but to confront u about that 5 lakh necklace" Kokila was shattered on hearing Ahem's confession. She immediately
understood what inner meaning Ahem was trying to hide. whatever he say, Kokila understood that this time kinjal was saying the truth. On the other hand Gopi's heart broken into thousand pieces the moment she heard Ahem accepting kinjal's words. But still she was unable to leave the hope because whatever have ahem said he still seemed to support her.For the first time kinjal was stumped. She spoke nervously "Necklace what necklace?" "The necklace which u ordered in the name of gopi so that i can blame her and hate her". Kinjal dint have any words left nor did kokila.She closed her eyes unable to bear the pain both her children gave her today and to her gopi vahu. "Krishna bhagwan what wrong i have done. where did it go wrong in my upbringing" Though gopi was shocked it dint pain her. Her whole life depended on Ahem's statement only. "No bhai. Its not
true. She have ordered that necklace not me." "Shut up. I knew everything. Gopi told me what u did" Kinjal glared at gopi and took a step forward "U it always because of u. First u have snatched my mom and now u have turned my brother against me. I HATE U gopi, i hate u" "KINJAL" Ahem shouted and raised his hand to slap her but immediately a hand stopped him. Everyone were shocked to watch the person who stopped Ahem, even Ahem himself dint expect this even in his dream. Dhawal stood in front of him and kinjal determined and confident and left ahem's hand. "No ahem bhai, u dont have any right to slap my wife!" "Ur wife! She is my sister" "Not anymore ahem bhai. She is not kinjal modi anymore, she is kinjal desai now, my wife. Though u are her brother u dont have the right to hit her. And its my duty to protect her and i wil do it no matter what.
Ahem bhai though gopi is my sister too i have never intefferred btwn u two and i hope that u too wouldnt interfere btwn our life." "Dhawal just get out of my way. U dont even know what she did.!" "whatever she have done it is out of pure ignorance bhai and out of love. Yes bhai love, love for u becuase she cant watch u suffer. Even what she is said now is also out of the fear that she might lose u and sasuma. Ahem bhai i know she did a mistake but i believe it was not intentional. if u still want to punish then please punish me becuse kinjalji is my responsibility now. It is my duty to protect her, to guide her. I am the sole responsible person for her mistakes because for a husband a wife is his other half and she is my best half . If i get the praise when somebody praises her then why shouldnt i get the blame when somebody blames her." Finally Dhawal folded his hands in
namaste and said "I am sorry to hurt u bhai but now ur little sister is not ur little sister anymore.Jai shri krishna" And after his calm mesmerizing speech dhawal caught kinjal's hand and led her out from everyone wrath. Ahem was fuming with anger and turned towards his mother and spoke "Mom look at that kinjal, Everything is done by her.Mom that girl is very selfish and i dont want to see her face again. Look at the way she is blaming me. If it wouldnt for dhawal i would have killed her, i wonder how she got a husband like him. Mom why dont u say something?"
SLAP... It felt like the world stopped for a second for everyone, and mostly for Ahem and gopi. Tears sprang into his eyes immediately and looked at Kokila stunned and speechlessly shocked. "Ahemji!" gopi shouted and rushed forward but immediately kokila caught her hand and stopped her. Urmila's eyes
popped out and her jaw dropped. Rashi eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. Jigar looked shocked and held his breath."MOM" Ahem spoke barely in a whispher , his voice full of hurt. "DONT CALL ME MOM" kokila thundred on AHem. "I am even wondering now that how could u be my son. Or did ur love failure changed u so much that u stopped acting like a human being. Where did all the sanskaar i gave u dissapeared in the air? If love can change people then why did my gopi vahu's love dint change u. Chi Ahem, i am even now ashamed to call u my son" Each of kokila's words went stabbing through his heart. HE couldnt bear the hatred he was watching in his mom's eyes"Mom u believed everything that girl said. But u have no belief in me" "I never believed anything what kinjal said, but i think u forgot that moments ago u have confessed that
u took gopi vahu's help because u dint have any option left. Now what wil u say to that Ahem" "Mom when u have heard this then u might have also heard what i said after this. I have never imagined to use gopi mom. We mutually agreed to help each other. Mom u are right love can change people. It changed me too. My thinking for gopi have changed too. Infact today itself i was coming to u to tell u all the events which were going on in this house. Tell u about how my and gopi's relation ship have changed. I accept mom at that time i dint want her help but gradually i realized how my life is linked with her. I realized how perfect gopi is for my life. What do u think these flowers are for, what do u think these gifts are for. Mom thesse were for gopi for helping me, for supporting me!" Ahem looked at Gopi "Gopi i know i have hurted u a lot, but now i am saying u the truth.
Remember yestarday i told u that i wanted to tell u something.GOpi this is the truth that i wanted to share with u. I agree that Kinjal's suggestion to use u registered in my mind. When i saw u cleaning my room, it came unexpectedly to ask u for ur help. But only god knows gopi that how much i suffered for cheating u. Thats why i wanted to help u gopi. So that i could stand up to u. I could meet ur eyes. But i dont know when i started liking ur company. when u became a part in my life."Ahem caught gopi's hands and said" gopi trust me." And for the first time all his hopes collapsed when gopi silently released her hands from his grip. He immediately looked into her eyes and got the shock of his life. There was hurt, there was pain, every emotion of dissapoitment everything except trust.
Part 17-4:
Every word he said to her was a death stab to her heart. She soared high into the sky thinking he wanted her help. But have never imagined that she was a option to him. She thought he cared for her but have never considered it was his way to remove his guilt. But still only his last words registered in her mind. "Does he really thinks me as a part in his life" Gopi have no answers left for her infinite questions. She felt shallow hole in her heart. Not feeling any pain or any agony. Not feeling any hope any warmth. She dint want to find out anymore whether he used or trusted her. All she knew now was she helped him in his need and thats the end of the story for her. No more hopes, no more dreams. Ahem watched her every pain in her eyes. He noticed her pain dissapering and all of a sudden her lively face became a mask devoid of any emotion. There was no life in her eyes. It became empty
completely empty. And for the first time Ahem realized how selfishly he treated her. He always thought about himself but not once did he thought about her. He dumped the unpleaseant truth in her face and was expecting her to take his apolozy. How could she! But still Ahem was not ready to lose the battle. He wanted this day to be the perfect begining of their life. He will make this possible. He saw that he lost his mom, he dint want to lose his wife anymore. "Gopi" his voice was chocked "believe me" "why should she?" Kokila demanded. Ahem turned towards his mom. He knew his mom got a valid point here. "why should she believe u. How can any person can beleive u after what u have done. U have said that kinjal dint deserve a husband like dhawalji but tell me do u deserve gopi now.?" Ahem face suddenly clouded with anger immediately "YEs i do" he shouted. "Yes mom because
whatever the past is now i have changed. Though anybody believes it or not i know i have changed. I have already told u and i am telling u again, i have accepted her in my life" "Really then where did this divorce papers came from Ahem?" Ahem felt a second shock enter his body. His mouth became dry and his mind went blank. He have ordered this divorce papers just after his project started. At that time he was determined to make her learn, make her understand that she was not suitable in his life and they would mutualy get seperated from each other lives. But gradually he got so comforted with her that he forgot about these papers totally. "Now tell me if u really thought about gopi vahu as ur partner then why did these divorce papers arrived today?" "Mom these were ordered a long time ago. At that time we were not close together. Now these papers have no meaning in my life."
"U have ordered these papers 2 weeks back rit ahem! The dates written on the packet" Ahem heart was beating fastly. He understood what was coming and he dint have any words to defend himself. "Now tell me ahem.U ordered these divorce papers just 2 weeks back,ie the start of the project., ie when my gopi vahu started to help u., u have already planned to divorce her. It means she was just a tool for u to get ur work done for 2 weeks because u werent planning to consider ur relationship further with her at that time. Like kinjal have said u were just using her." For the first time Ahem have no words left to defend him. He understood he was fighting a losing battle now. He cant prove all of a sudden how his feeling have changed. He himself made his life miserable with his egoistic nature.Ahem understood that he never let his feelings out in front of anyone including gopi so why would
anyone would believe him now. "Maaji!" Gopi spoke. SHe clearly saw she was creating distances btwn them. Rejection from AHem was not new to her but rejection was new to him. She cant watch Ahem standing and getting humiliated infront of all. What if he dont love her. She did! "Maaji. Leave this matter maaji. What difference it makes if he used me or not. I dont mind maaji. Its my duty to help him and whether ahemji asks or not i definetly would have helped him. Maaji ahemji is saying the truth. He really treated me as a friend, he respected me, cared for me and it was not like all of a sudden. It was i who have built castles in the air again. He never said he loved me. I misinterpreted it. I thought he was comfortable enough with me to start a new life. Maaji pls for me maaji. Leave this matter here" Ahem now clearly understood why gopi was loved by everyone. He was being the worlds
best jerk but still she wanted to protect him. He crashed her hopes down but still she was taking steps to prevent his world to shatter into pieces. Kokila looked at gopi with a dissapointed look "How could she stil care for him" she thought "No gopi vahu. U might have not understood anything but i did. It was my mistake to try to make him realize ur worth. The fact is i have never known my son. He never cared for u and now i know he never will. Do u know gopi vahu why AHem have asked ur help. The person who ignored u since ur marriage suddenly came forward to take ur help is due to the reason because i refused him. Not because he found u helpful but because he had no other choice left." Gopi took a step back shocked and looked at AHem. She never knew that Maaji have refused to help him. She thought that her maaji just wanted to make him responsible. She thought that
she was not supposed to help him but never thought that nobody was supposed to help him. Now everything was coming to clear now. He neither cared for her nor helped her. Every precaution he took was to keep himself out of danger. "
Dont tell mom regarding this meetings" It was not because maaji might get upset with her, it was because she wil be upset with him. Searching the corridars before letting her go was for his safety not hers. He made her study not becasue she can be capable for him, because to sign these divorce papers. "
There might be a time where u have to take decisions" Now she understood what meaning AHem was trying to signify that day. Her decision to free him from this marriage. Fresh tears started from her eyes but still she kept on looking at Ahem, without uttering a word she kept staring at him. Ahem bent his head down unable to meet her gaze. Kokila felt
bad for dropping this news on her but she needed to break her false hopes. She clearly understood that her son would never accept her. "Ahem i have once told u that gopi vahu wil be out of ur life. Today i am going to fulfil my promise. Today onwards u are free without any responsibilites. U are no more the husband of gopi vahu nor my son." Ahem felt a thunder bolt have hit him. He stood frozen into his place.He wanted to shout, to protest but his body was not reponding. All the remaining others are too shocked to hear this. Kokila continued "From today onwards i forbid u to come near my gopi vahu, u have caused enough pain to her but not anymore. I wil see to that no harm effects my daughter in her life again. I made a mistake making her marrying to u but now she wont suffer anymore for my mistake. Today onwards she is only my responsibility. And i request this to everyone.
Because of u all today my gopi vahu have arrived at this stage. If u people have brought the truth before me then this would have never occured at all. So if ahem is guilty for making my gopi vahu suffer u all are also equal responsible holders." Both jigar and rashi bent their heads together and Hetal was ashamed of herself. "so ahem u have finally got the freedom u are struggling for. Use it well" and without listening to any others she took gopi and went away.
Part 17-5:
Ahem entered in his room dejected, depressed and defeated.He never felt so lonely in his life he was feeling now. The moment he entered into the room all his past memories flooded his mind. Now he was begining to understand how it felt being rejected by someone u dearly love. His mom's dissapointed face and gopi's painful eyes flashed in his mind. "How could i let this happen. How could everything went out of my hands. How could i let her go away and stood watching helplessly" Ahem looked around the room. Everything suddenly remainded him of her. He looked at the couch. He remembered the moment she was eating her chocolate childishly. Looked at the bed when she so close to him. Her smile, her blush, her confusion, their chat, their game, their dance, everything was playing before him. He looked himself at the mirror and the image of gopi and himself standing before the mirror
played before him. "
we are the couple" the happiness and the love radiated from her face, her care, her sneaking glances at him, the confidence and pride for him, her suggesgtions. Her pain, her hurt, her expressionless face, her tears."
Gopi trust me!" Her silently removing her hands from his.Her dissapointed face."
Do u trust me? "More than my life" her reply, her trust. Everything was spinning around him. "AAAH" Ahem shouted at the top of his voice, and snatched the table lamp and smashed the mirror. With the other lamp smashed the table. Pushed everything on the dresser. Upturned everthing in his room, broke all the windows, Destroyed every object came to his hand. "AHEM" kokila shouted. He looked up to see al the elders standing before him. Gopi was collapsed on the floor crying bitterly. All of the Ahem's words were flooding in her mind. "Kanaji! why does it often happens to me.?
what have i not done to make him happy. why does he hate me so much. Why do u often give me false hopes and break them into pieces.I have no strength to fight anymore kanaji. Not anymore. I have never asked u anything except for a loving husband. Why have i such a blunt fate where everyone ends up hating me. Why cant i be happy like others. Why kanaji. why?" "Gopi" Rashi placed her hand over her head. "Rashiben!" Gopi cried her heart out hugging her tightly and rashi hugged her tightly. Tears rolled in her eyes and she was figting very hard to control it She had a very tough time dealing with urmila. Only god knows how she stopped her mother from meeting gopi and presuading to leave. She knew her mohter wanted to taunt her more."Gopi dont cry. Everything will be alright now" "No rashi ben! nothing wil be alright. My unlucky fate can never make anyone happy." "Gopi why do u say such
things?" "Its true rashiben. See because of me Ahemji's lost his love, today becuase of me he lost his mother's love. we all know rashi ben that how much ahemji loves maaji and today because of me.." "why do u blame urself gopi. See just in a few days everything wil be alright. Kakiji cant stay away from ahemjiju. she loves him more than her life." "U dont know maaji rashiben. She keeps to her word. Rashiben because of me, maaji and ahemji have seperated and becuase of me they wil be together again." "what are u saying gopi?" "Rashi ben i wil leave this house and wil go away" "WHAT! have u lost ur mind gopi. see dont do anything riduculous.do u think that ur departure wil make kakiji and jiju togehter.No gopi infact they wil be seperated more. Kaki wil blame on ahemjiju and jiju wil blame it on kakiji" "Rashiben! I wil make maaji listen and whereas ahemji he is better off me. Rashiben i know
u want us togehter but rashiben the fact is ahemji dont love me. U have heard urself today everything. How can i still hope when he wants to divorce me rashiben. I always wanted his happiness and now i understand rashiben that his happiness lies being far away from me. I dont know whether whatever he spoke to me was his acting or not but those were the best times of my life and i wil cherish them forever. Ahemji's happiness is not in me so its better i do what he wanted" "Shut up gopi! U have heard everyone said to u but did u recognize the pain ahemjiju went when u dint not look at him. U have said that he always wanted u beside him. Do u really think it was a drama. Listen to ur heart gopi. Do u really think that AHemjiju never cared for u? we all know his behaviour. He is not the one who bend according to situations. Ahemjiju himself have admited that he wants u in his life. All of this is a
big misundertanding and i have faith gopi that it wil pass away." "No rashiben until now i have listen to my heart and always got dissapointment. But not this time. THis time i wont become selfish thinking about me, this time no matter how hard it is i have to take steps in order to make ahemji's life better. Rashiben ahemji dint want to let me go because he considers me as a friend. But life long relationships cant stand on such a basis. In his heart he always remembers anitaji. Its high time i step back" "Gopi why dont u listen to me. I know what ahemjiju is going through. People can change gopi and nobody knows it better than me. See gopi i am ur elder sister rit. I too dont want u getting hurt but believe me this time i have the confidence that AHemjiju have changed." "Stop giving false hopes to bhabhi rashi!" Both of them turned to look at jigar. "Ahem dikra whats all this. control urself" hetal spoke shocked.
None of them have ever seen ahem in a full blown temper before. Even kokila was hesitant to approach Ahem. Ahem looked at the devasted room. He was surprised with himself for his behaviour. Kokila stepped forward "what do u want to prove ahem by doing all this." "I dont want to prove anything mom. I want a chance back. I know i am guilty in ur eyes. But every guilty person deserrves a chance. I deserve a chance." If kokila was surprised with his behaviour she was more surprised with his tone now. His voice was demanding like before and he had a determination in his eyes. "Do u think i never gave u any chance ahem. I always did. Right from the day u slapped her to this day i always sided u, tried to reason with u becasue i thought whatever u did was because of ur ignorance regarding gopi vahu. But u have never consider to reform then why should i give u a chance now." "Because i am asking
for it" "No ahem, this time i wont bend for u. I have often went to the extremes for my son's happiness but today i wont get blind in ur love. U often exploited my gopi vahu but this time i wont let u. U are requesting a chance only to prove urself but not for her. Once u have acheived ur motto how can i say that u wont be back to ur normal self." Ahem understood there was no reasoning with his mom. He broke her trust completely like he broke gopi's. She was just trying to protect gopi from anymore hurt because she can bearly handle herself now. One way he was glad but the dissapointing fact is she was protecting her from him. Ahem never knew when tears rolled on his cheeks. Kokila saw she was hurting him and this was hurting her more but she have to be strict with them. Both her children are darted away from their paths and she have the responsibility to make them realize their mistakes.
Ahem stormed out of the room but stopped at the door. He looked straight into her eye and spoke "U have said that u dont want ur gopi vahu to get hurt. But always remember one thing mom, she became ur gopi vahu because of me" And at that instant kokila realized Ahem wont stop until he acheived what he wanted. "Jigarji. what are u saying. why would i give false hopes to gopi" "We all know why! whatever bhabhi have decided it is best for her. She dont deserve a husband like bhai. She dont need to get humiliated everyday in this house. She too have a life to lead on. And i bet she can be more happy outside rather than here." "A wife's happiness always lies with her husband" rashi shouted "Not with a husband who hates his wife" jigar shouted "Bhabhi, i came here to appolozie to u because whatever hurt and pain u got today indirectly i am also responsible for it. I too thought that Bhai have changed
but not once i thought about his motives. It was so clear but we all ignored the facts. I have rose my hopes and made ur hopes rose too. I am really sorry bhabhi" "No devarji, whatever it is it is my fault. Dont blame ahemji. Becasuse of my foolish nature he is getting unncessary blame" "Bhabhi, u are too sweet to even think any wrong about bhai but i am not a saint like u. I made a mistake bhabhi but now i wil always support u in whatever decision u take" Jigar left the room and rashi followed after him. Ahem was on the terrace thinking. This was the first time he went against his mother. He argued with her. Normally he should feel worse but this time he felt it right. Nobody have any right to take gopi from him. He promised her that he wil keep her happy. He looked at the tickets he booked to take her on a surprise trip. He was going to make her happy, he was going to clear her misunderstandings. He decided
to end this matter which he began."Dont take the anger with me on my sister" Rashi shouted. Jigar turned towards her confused "what do u mean?" "I understand what u are trying to do. U have sided with gopi because i was advising her to not to leave this house. U dont care about her happiness all u care now is to take revenge on me. To destroy everything which i wanted" "I dont have such a evil mind like u. I know why u r trying to make her stay becasuse u want her to be miserable. U want her to remember everyday how bhai rejected her. U want to break her and make her suffer." "If u really care for gopi then u should realize that her happiness wil always lies within Ahemjiju" "Bhabhi never had any happiness with bhai nor she will have. I promised myself that bhabhi wont suffer anymore and i wil keep my promise this time" Jigar left the room and rashi spoke determined "Think whatever u want jigarji but i wil bring happiness back in my sisters life." Gopi stood up wiped her tears and determined to talk to maaji to let her leave and make ahemji really free.
Gopi decided "Ahemji's happiness is from staying away from me. This time i will see it comes true"
Rashi decided "if gopis happiness lies in ahemjiju no matter what i wil bring them togther again"
Jigar decided "This time i wont let bhabhi get hurt, by anyone especially by rashi and Ahem bhai"
Ahem decided "She is mine and nobody can take her away from me so easily. I wil fight with everyone to get her back even my mom!"
Pls do comment whether i have reached ur expectations or not
Ahem and gopi's thought might be confusing becasuse i am confused with them
everyone have their missions to achieve. wait and watch who wil win this game.
Any suggesstions are always welcomed.
