Thank you Indu. Glad you liked the update. I thought it would be nice to have someone for Jigar to bring his smile back. He needs someone just like him.

Hello, Hello I am back. Sorry it took so long, but I got distracted by some lively discussions on the forum that erupted in the past two days.

This will be the longest update ever.

See you at the bottom.😊

I continued from where I left off last.

Part 12

"This is so beautiful; I have no words to express my gratitude." Ahem placed everything on the bed and helped her stand. "You don't have to thank me; I want to share all those special moments we missed out on the first time." He pulled her in his arms to hug her and closed his eyes in relief when he felt her arms go around him to return the hug.

Ahem place his chin on her head and savored the moment. He moved back and looked down at her, he cupped her face with both of his hands, rubbing her cheeks gently, he bent and kissed the corner of her mouth and was about to deepen the kiss when someone knocked loudly on the door.

Ahem groaned, "It never fails, just as things get good, we are interrupted." Gopi giggled at his grumbling. "Ahembhai, Gopi Bhabhi, your presence is requested for breakfast." Mani said loudly. Ahem rolled his eyes, which made Gopi laugh out loud. "Okay Mani, tell mom we will be right down."

Ahem focused back on Gopi. "Where were we?" Gopi tried to move out of his arms. "We were on our way to breakfast." Ahem held her tighter. "Uh huh not so fast Gopiji, I am not finished with you." He brought her closer for a kiss. "Ahemji stop, we have to go downstairs." She tried to push him but he wouldn't budge. Just as he was about to kiss her he felt the baby kick hard, he was so startled he moved back in surprise.

Gopi saw his stunned expression and started laughing. Ahem looked at her then her stomach. He had never felt the baby kick that hard. He looked back at Gopi's smiling face and smiled himself. He gave an exaggerated sigh, placed his hand on Gopi's stomach to talk to his angel. "Okay I get the point angel, you are hungry and you come first, but I am warning you it won't always work." Gopi flushed when he looked at her intently and his smile widened.

They joined the family for breakfast. Jigar spotted them first. "It's about time Bhai, I was going to start without you and Bhabhi. Bhabhi you are becoming a big distraction for Bhai lately." He teased Gopi.

Gopi waited for him to take a sip of his tea before speaking. "Devarji I asked Divya to come over to help me this morning, she should be arriving any moment." Jigar almost sprayed his tea out of his mouth and gave his laughing Bhai a helpless look.

Ahem shrugged his shoulders. "You are the one who decided to tease a hormonal and hungry pregnant woman first thing in the morning. I warned you but you didn't believe me."

Jigar looked around to see his family watching him with expectations. Just then the doorbell rang and Gopi laughed. "I was just making a statement about her coming this morning, but you gave everything away with your reaction Devarji."

He realized his family was all aware of his growing attraction to Divya and it seems everyone approved. He relaxed back in his chair and smiled. "Thanks Bhabhi." Gopi smiled back and said, "My pleasure Devarji."

Mani brought Divya to the dining table. She greeted everyone with "Jai Shree Krishna" Hetal and Koki instantly approved and felt she would make a good wife for Jigar. They decided to sit back and wait until he gave the consent to marry again.

As soon as breakfast was finished the family members continued the preparations for the two ceremonies. Gopi was ordered to go back to her room to rest since it would be a long day for her. No one gave her a chance to argue, most especially Ahem, who dragged her to the room and ordered her to stay put.

Gopi pouted his order. "Where are you going?" Ahem stopped. "Jigar and I are going to go pick up someone." Gopi brightened at thought of him going out. "Okay I will rest but I want something from you." Ahem raised an eyebrow. "Ahemji focus, I meant the baby wants something." He just smiled and didn't say anything. "We want ice cream, not just any ice cream we want Faluda ice cream." Ahem moved to the bed to sit beside her.

"Ice cream it is, is that all?" She nodded her head. "For now, yes that's all." He laughed at that. "Okay, but what was that you said to Jigar at the table?" Gopi looked at him in confusion. "I believe you said," he brought his lips close to hers, "My pleasure," next time use a different phrase, that one is only for me." He didn't give her a chance to respond gave her a quick kiss and left before he was distracted again. He will have plenty of time to make her pay later.

________________

Ahem kept glancing at the stairs anxiously. The moment he had waited for all morning has finally arrived. He was finally going to make Gopi's wish come true. "Bhai relax, Bhabhi will be down any moment." Ahem turned to Jigar and grinned. "I know, but I am tired of waiting, she has waited a long time for this, and I want to make her mine and fulfill her wish. I want to give all those rights back to her that were taken from her when she took the wedding vows back."

Jigar could see the pain in his Bhai's eyes for his Bhabhi at the memory of that day. He too remembered that day and had felt his Bhabhi's pain and knew that both his Bhai and Bhabhi needed this. "Bhai I am so happy today that Bhabhi is getting what she has always wanted. She really loves you very much, you are very lucky." Ahem put his hand on Jigar's shoulder. "Yes Jigar I am very lucky that she gave me this chance to make up for my past treatment, and I promise I will never let her down. Enough about me and Gopi; tell me, how do you feel about Divya?"

Jigar gave his bhai a thoughtful look. "I am not sure yet bhai, she is a nice girl but I don't want to rush into anything yet. I know the family has lot of hope and expectations, but I don't want to make the same mistake twice." Ahem nodded in understanding. "Yes I know it is hard to get over your past experience, but I know Divya is a sweet girl. Her brother and I are good friends, so I met her before she started working for our company. When I met her the first time she reminded me lot of Gopi. Divya is lot more confident and grew up in a loving family unlike Gopi, but her nature and personality are just like Gopi."

Jigar laughed at what his bhai said. "And that is what made me notice her also; she does remind me of Bhabhi. I want to get to know her a little more before I decide, but I don't want to make her object of office gossip." Ahem agreed with him and decided to come up with a better solution for Jigar and Divya to spend time without the company's other employee's knowledge of the relationship.

They didn't realize they had been talking nonstop and the family was calling them because it was time for the wedding ceremony. They both made their way to the mandir where the rituals would take place and waited for Gopi to come down.

Gopi took a last look at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. The moment she had waited for has finally arrived. She had given up all hopes of ever being accepted by her Ahemji, but today he was making all her dreams come true and she couldn't help but love him for this. "Bhabhi it's time." Gopi smiled when she heard Divya behind her. When she found out Ahemji and Divya's bhai were old friends, Gopi had insisted she call them bhai and Bhabhi. She had found a good friend in Divya and hoped that her Devarji also realize that Divya would make him good life partner.

Gopi walked out the door with Divya and they slowly descended the steps. Gopi spotted Ahem and thought he looked so handsome in his gold sherwani. He had matched the colors of their clothes perfectly. He was also staring back at her in awe. When she reached him he took her hand, smiled and winked at her. Gopi flushed, but smiled back at him.

The pundit started the ceremony with Gopi and Ahem exchanging the garlands and then Gopi doing Ahem's arti. Since Gopi couldn't sit on the floor they had arranged for a small sofa for Ahem and Gopi to sit on. Once all the rituals were done it was time for the Saat Phere. Koki and Hetal had tears in their eyes when Ahem made a vow to Gopi after each turn around the fire.

Divya was amazed at the ceremony and voiced her surprise to Jigar who was standing next to her. "Wow, this is so romantic, they must really love each other so much to do this again." Jigar smiled at her. "Yes now they do, it was long and hard battle but they are finally where they are supposed to be. With each other, they belong together always. More than bhai, Bhabhi now feels she belongs to someone."

Divya knew little bit of Gopi and Ahem's story, but realized whatever their past troubles may have been, looking at them now, she knew nothing will come between them in the future. She glanced at Jigar and promised silently that if he ever gave her the chance her love for him would be just as strong as Gopi and Ahem's. She prayed that he gave her the chance to heal his hurt from the past and replace the bad memory of his past marriage with good memories.

She watched as Ahem put the sindoor in Gopi's part and place the mangalsutra around her neck. She could see the big impact of this moment on Gopi's face and the tears shining in her eyes. It was a beautiful moment, made more beautiful by the obvious love they both felt for each other.

Gopi and Ahem were taking their blessing from the parents when they heard a big commotion at the door. Ahem froze when his sister walked in with Anita. He had warned Kinjal but it seem his sister was stubborn as him and his mom.

Kinjal walked up to him. "Bhai what is this? Why are you marrying the same person again?" Ahem glared at Kinjal. "I think I told you to mind your own business Kinjal. I warned you to behave yourself." He shook his head at his mom to stop her from shouting at the Kinjal. He wanted to see how far Kinjal is willing to go. It wasn't Kinjal who he had to worry about but the person she considers her friend.

Anita stepped next to Kinjal. "Kinjal this is what you brought me to see? Ahem marrying this illiterate again?" Ahem felt Gopi's hand in his and stopped when he was about to blast Anita. She wasn't finished yet, she turned to Ahem. "You haven't changed at all. I made Umang use your useless sister to break up your marriage, he blackmailed her, made her create misunderstanding about your wife by ordering necklace in her name, he even made her pretend to be pregnant, but it seems you would rather spend your life with someone who is not worth of you at all." She turned back to Kinjal who looked back at her in shock.

Anita smile at her evilly. "Yes Kinjal I put Umang up to everything because Ahem was mine and refused to give him up because of your overbearing mother. Umang never loved you; he only did all those things to ruin yours and your family's reputation. I thought I had a chance when you called me and told me the Gawar was out of your Bhai's life but again he rejected me for her."

Anita turned back to Ahem. "Now I am glad I didn't marry you, it is only an illiterate who could live with your controlling mother." She looked at Gopi. "I hope you are ready to take a back seat to his mother."

Gopi had enough of Anita and stepped forward. "Anitaji you have no right to bad mouth my maji or my husband. He admitted he hurt you the first time and apologized to you and when you came back he never promised you anything, not even friendship, so if you are feeling rejected now it is your own fault not his. You should move on with your life. Please leave before my family forgets their good manners and have you thrown out of our house."

Anita moved forward and raised her hand, but Ahem stepped forward. "Don't even think about it Anita." He looked at Jigar who also placed himself next to Gopi. "As my wife said, leave before my brother and I forget our good manners and haul you out of this house."

Anita glared at him and clenched her hands, but didn't test them and walked out without a backward glance.

Kinjal was too numb to move, she thought Umang had loved her but he had only used her to ruin her and her family for revenge. She had blamed her mom and bhai for making Umang leave, but he had left on his own. She was so ashamed of what she had done she couldn't lift her head to look at her family. "Kinjalben, are you okay?" Kinjal looked up at the person who spoke to her. Her Bhabhi had more right than anyone to hate her, but she was the first to inquire about her.

Kinjal wiped the tears on her face and looked at her bhai and Bhabhi. "Bhai I am so sorry, I know I have no right to ask for forgiveness but hope that you both can forgive me, especially you Bhabhi." She didn't wait for their reply and left to go to her room.

For the moment everyone was too stunned to move. Hetal was first to move forward and place her hand on Koki's shoulder. "Kokila I will go talk to Kinjal, why don't you take everyone to the dining table for lunch." Kokila nodded and moved to Ahem and Gopi. She blessed them both and moved towards the kitchen. Divya followed Koki to kitchen.

Baa got up from her chair and moved to stand in front of Gopi and Ahem. "Gopi dikra go up and get refreshed, and rest for a while. I will have Koki send the lunch up for you." She turned to Ahem. "You go with her Ahem and help her." Ahem nodded and took Gopi up to their room.

Gopi could tell something was bothering Ahem and made him sit beside her. "Ahemji why are you so quiet?" He turned to her. "Gopi I am so sorry for what Kinjal did to you. And I promise you nothing happened between Anita and me when she came back." Gopi gave him a reassuring smile.

She took his hand in hers. "I know Ahemji you would never cheat on me. And as for Kinjalben, I don't blame her either. She loved Umang, she didn't know he was only pretending but she had genuine feelings for him. Whatever she did, she did it to be with the one she loved. Wouldn't you do the same?"

Ahem couldn't give a honest answer, but truthfully if his mom had made him give up Gopi after falling in love with her, he would have fought for her to the bitter end, which he didn't do when his mom refused to let him marry Anita, but then he realized he never loved Anita. Kinjal may have done all those things out of love for Ahem but it will still be hard for him and his mom to forgive her so easily for what she did to Gopi. They couldn't be so forgiving and understanding as Gopi.

They were both quiet for a moment and looked up when someone knocked on the door. His mom came in with the lunch tray. Ahem stood up to help her. "Maji, why did you bring up the lunch? I was just going to ask Ahemji to bring me down to the dining room."

Koki smiled at her vahu and sat beside her. "Nahi, you need to rest up for the Ghod Bharai, we will have many guests in the house who will want to meet you and bless you. It could get very late so just rest for now." Gopi nodded her head. "Maji are you okay?" Koki smiled at her reassuringly. "Yes Gopi vahu I am fine. Don't stress yourself over Kinjal; we will talk about her later." Koki stood up and turned to her son. "Ahem both of you eat then let Gopi vahu rest for a while."

"Ji mom." Ahem placed the tray on the table and followed his mom to the door. He closed the doors and came back to bed to help Gopi out of bed to take her to the chair to eat.

_____________________

Later that afternoon the whole Modi family looked on proudly as Ahem and Gopi came down the steps. More that one person commented on how good they looked together and how they complemented each other. Once they were at the last step Jigar stepped next to Gopi. "Bhabhi before we start the ceremony bhai and I have a special surprise for you, close your eyes." Gopi looked at Ahem who gave her an encouraging smile. She faced forward again and closed her eyes.

Gopi kept her eyes shut tightly, she couldn't imagine what type of surprise her Ahemji and her Devarji had in store for her, but she knew whatever it is she would love it. Ahem leaned down and told her to open her eyes. Gopi slowly opened her eyes and gasped, but it was a delightful surprise. Her mama was standing in front of her with a big smile on his face. He opened his arms and Gopi rushed forward to hug him. "Mamaji you are here. How are you?"

Jeetubhai caressed his niece fondly on the head and face and gave her a big smile. "I am fine Gopi dikra, and you look well. Are you happy dikra?" Gopi moved her head from side to side and smiled widely at her mamaji. "Ji mamaji I am very happy. I missed you so much." Jeetubhai was very proud of his niece and very happy for her. "I missed you too dikra."

Kokila moved next to Gopi. "Gopi vahu let start the puja, panditji is waiting for us, you can catch up with your mamaji later." Gopi and Koki moved to the mandir with all the ladies to start the Ghod Bharai.

Koki sat Gopi in a chair and told her to hold out her pallu to place some items in her pallu. After she did the initial ritual, elder ladies came to bless Gopi and place gifts for the baby near her. It took long time to finish all the rituals, and Gopi felt really tired seating in one place so she got up to mingle with the guests.

As soon as Ahem spotted her talking to the guests he was quick to move next to her. "Gopi come with me, I want to introduce you to some of my business associates." Gopi walked with him to the other side of the room. Ahem introduced her to everyone as his wife and she felt elated each time he introduced her by saying, "my wife Gopi." She hardly paid attention to the conversation around her.

Ahem took her to Mr. Mehta, whom she had met previously. "Jai Shree Krishna Mehtaji." Mr. Mehta turned to Gopi. "Jai Shree Krishna Gopi dikra. How are feeling?" Gopi smiled and said, "I am fine Mehtaji." Ahem was watching her closely to see if she was tired. They circulated the room meeting all the guests and answered many questions as they could regarding the baby.

It was late by the time all the guests left and everyone decided to head to bed. Ahem walked to their room behind Gopi and closed the doors. He walked behind her and wrapped her in his arms. He placed a small kiss on her neck. "Finally alone, how do you feel?"

Gopi smiled at him and placed her hand on his arms. "I am very happy today, thank you for everything." She turned and put her head on his chest. Ahem wrapped his arms around her to hold her close to his heart. After a moment Gopi turned back towards the mirror to take off the jewelry. Ahem brought her night sari to change into, she took the sari and went into the bathroom. Ahem glanced at the bedside table on her side and thanked her kanaji silently.

Gopi came out of the bathroom and settled herself on the bed. She didn't feel tired at all, she felt so energized. Today Ahem had granted her all her rights back and proudly introduced her to everyone as his wife. It felt nice, she couldn't stop smiling. She touched her stomach and gently caressed her baby, she felt so much better now.

Ahem came out of the bathroom to see Gopi rubbing her stomach and smiling to herself. He lay down on the bed on his side, holding his head on his head, balancing his weight on his elbow. "What are you saying to my angel?"

Gopi narrowed her eyes at him. "Your angel is asking for her ice cream that mommy asked you to get for her." Ahem sat up abruptly. He is going to kill Jigar for making them late and being unable to pick up the ice cream. "Ahemji, did you forget my ice cream?"

Ahem cleared his throat. "Gopi don't you think it's late for ice cream? We should go to sleep, you can have your ice cream tomorrow." Gopi widened her eyes deliberately. Okay Ahemji lets see how much you love me. "Ahemji have you heard of pregnancy cravings? I am craving Faluda ice cream that is why I asked you to bring it for me. I asked one thing from you and you forgot." She gave a dramatic sigh, turned on her side and closed her eyes.

Ahem gaped at her and shook his head. It seems Gopi is back to teasing and being playful like before. He hadn't known Gopi could be like this until he got to know her after her injury. Now what to do about the ice cream. He got out of bed to go to Jigar's room. If he had to go out for the ice cream he is not going alone, he is going to drag Jigar with him.

He knocked on Jigar's door and walked in to see Jigar taking on the phone. "Jigar, who are you talking to this late at night?" Jigar hung up the phone quickly and sat up on his bed. "Bhai it's no one, did you need something?" Ahem knew he was probably talking to Divya but decided to leave it alone. "Your bhabhi wants Faluda ice cream, any idea where we can get it from this time of the night?"

Jigar couldn't help the laugh that escaped from his mouth when he saw the serious expression on his bhai's face. Ahem frowned because he didn't know what was so funny. "Jigar stop laughing, this is a serious matter, thanks to you we were unable to get the ice cream on our way back and now she is upset with me because I didn't bring her ice cream."

Jigar took mercy on his bhai and stood up. "Come bhai, let's see how we can appease bhabhi." They both walked out the room. Jigar stopped in front of Ahem's room and told him to stay there while he went to get Gopi.

Ahem was amazed when Jigar came back with Gopi. She was smiling and talking like she was not upset at all, but she ignored him and walked ahead with Jigar to go downstairs. Ahem followed them slowly. Yep he is going to kill his brother for sure.

Once they were downstairs Jigar sat Gopi in her usual place and Ahem took the chair next to her. She ignored him. Jigar came out with three bowls, spoons, ice cream scoop and a carton of Faluda ice cream. Ahem was surprised but when Jigar shook his head slightly he kept quiet. "See bhabhi we have Faluda ice cream, how can you think bhai would forget something so important?" Gopi turned and looked at him but he looked away pretending to be mad at her for not believing him.

Ahem felt bad when he saw her sad face at not trusting him and was about to confess when his mom and Kaki both came to inquire about the lights in the dinning room. "What are you three doing up this late?" Koki was first to reach them.

Hetal also joined them and looked at the questioningly. "Woh Kakiji, Gopi Bhabhi was craving Faluda ice cream since this morning and asked bhai to pick up some when he and I went out earlier. We were not yet tired so decided to come down for the ice cream."

Koki and Hetal smiled fondly at Gopi. Soon Baa, Chirag and Parag joined them also; everyone decided to have ice cream. Baa shared with them memories of when Hetal and Koki were pregnant and what they did different in the old days.

It wasn't long before everyone started feeling tired and retired to their rooms. Gopi came out of the bathroom to see Ahem standing by the window with his back to her. She wondered if he was still upset with her. She walked over to him, wrapped her arms around him and placed her head on his back. "Ahemji I love you."

Ahem felt his heart burst with joy at her words. It seems he had waited forever to hear those words from her. He turned, wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her neck. "Gopi I love you too, you don't know how long I have waited for you to say those words." He lifted his head from her neck and looked down at her. "I am so sorry Gopi, for causing you so much pain, not just when I withdrew from you seven months ago, but before that also. I know you forgave me for my ill treatment of you in the first year of our marriage, but today I really understand how painful it must have been for you."

Gopi place her hand on Ahem's mouth. Shh..Ahemji you don't have to apologize for all that again." Ahem took her hand in his and shook his head. "He couldn't help the tears that formed in his eyes at her generosity. He was so lucky to have someone so loving and understanding love him. "No Gopi it still doesn't make up for my behavior, most especially since I let my ego get in the way of our happiness the first time and my fear ruin it the second time. I was attracted to you from the first moment we met, and I knew if I gave you the chance you would get a hold of my heart and never let go." Her eyes widened in surprise.

He smiled down at her. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth. Everything started to clear up in the weeks I was teaching you, seeing your bravery in saving the kanaji idol, then your pain on your birthday started to clear up my misconceptions, but everything became crystal clear when I saw that ceiling and polls fall on you. In that few seconds I felt my life flash in front of my eyes."

Ahem took a deep breath to hold back the memories of that day, most devastating night of his life. "I promised myself that you would never suffer that type of pain again, but I broke my promise and dealt you more pain."

Gopi had been so absorbed in her own pain that the thought of him suffering never even crossed her mind. She can now understand better how it must have been for him also. "Ahemji I am sorry I was unable to understand what you were going thru. We need to put the past behind us; today we start fresh, on equal footing. We are lucky to get the second chance so let's not waste our time regretting the past. Our life begins from today."

Ahem nodded his head in agreement. "By the way I didn't forget the ice cream but we didn't get a chance to buy it this morning either. Jigar must have gone back out when I was getting ready to get it." They both laughed because each had pretended to be upset to test the other.

Ahem cupped Gopi's face and bent to kiss her gently at first, but when she tightened her hold on him he deepened the kiss. The kiss was so much sweeter than any they shared before because this was their first kiss after confessing their love for each other.

______________

Next two months were spent preparing for the arrival of the baby. Ahem was a very attentive husband. He never missed a birthing class or a doctor's appointments. He gave her foot rubs, back rubs, stood guard by bathroom door during the night no matter how many times she had to get up to go to the bathroom.

He didn't loose cool when she started having labor pains at first, but felt overwhelmed at her pain as the labor progressed. He stayed with her until the doctor placed their baby girl on her stomach. He was the happiest man for getting his wish and couldn't help but gloat because he had been right. It may have started out as a joke, but the more he thought about it the more he was sure he wanted a girl first. He wanted his daughter to be just like Gopi.

They named the baby Pari Ahem Modi as her father wished.

Kinjal had left Modi Bhavan and stayed with Nani for a while to get her life in order again. She quit modeling when she returned and Chirag offered her job at Modi Industries, she was hesitant at first but both Ahem and Koki encouraged her to take the job. She had thanked them both and asked for forgiveness again, both Koki and Ahem said they would give her a chance, but not because they wanted to but they couldn't deny Gopi's request. Kinjal had a long talk with Gopi and asked for her forgiveness also and Gopi had instantly forgiven her saying she understood why Kinjal did what she did in the past.

Gopi's generosity had moved Kinjal to tears and she promised Gopi that she would make up for all her past acts. The family slowly accepted Kinjal's changed behavior and gave her rights back as a Modi daughter. It took time for Koki and Kinjal's relationship to mend but it eventually Koki forgave her.

Divya and Jigar were married after Pari turned one year old. They insisted on making the same type of promise that Gopi and Ahem made to each other on their wedding day.

Modi family was now complete.

Epilogue.

Ahem placed his computer bag on the table in his room and took off his jacket. He was just rolling his sleeves when he felt small arms wrap around the back of his legs. "Papa is back, Jai Shree Krishna Papa." Ahem pulled his two year old Pari to the front and got on his knees to hug her. He felt his fatigue vanish when her two small arms wrap around his neck and squeeze tightly. He knew Gopi was standing by the door watching them with a smile.

He picked up his daughter in his arms and stood up to face Gopi. He moved Pari's curls from her face and kissed her soft round cheek before placing her on the floor. "Pari go see what Kinjal phoi has for you while I talk to mommy." Pari ran off before her father finished talking.

Gopi placed his tea on the table and looked at him with concern. "You look tired, are you okay?" It never fails to amaze him at her ability to read him so clearly. He pulled her in his arms and placed his hand on her slightly rounded stomach. "I am fine, just tired. How are you feeling today? Anymore morning sickness?"

Gopi smiled at his question. The morning sickness stopped as soon as she was three months pregnant, but he never fails to ask her everyday. He had felt helpless when she used to have to rush to the bathroom first thing in the morning. No matter how many times she assured him it was normal and she didn't have any morning sickness with Pari he continued to show his concern.

She placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him on the lips lightly. "Stop worrying I am fine." He returned her kiss. "Thank you Gopi for being in my life and loving me. For giving me my angel and now another addition to our family, I love you." Gopi wrapped her arms around him and place her head on his chest. "I love you too Ahemji and thank you for giving me a place and a family to belong to."

~The End~

Okay I know many of you will wonder why I ended this story, but I thought this would be best. This was not supposed to be this long at all, but many of you gave me some wonderful suggestions and I couldn't resist adding those on as I updated. Thank you all so much for the comments, motivation and inspirations. I will miss this Gopi and Ahem very much.😊

*Edit*

Nooo! You ended this SS! :( This was absolutely one of my favorite stories ever. You write so well, I don't even have words. As always, lovely update, must say was not expecting the story to end, but it concluded beautifully, whether it was the Gopi craving the Faluda ice cream and testing Aham 😆, or how Kinjal found out the truth about Umang, or how Gopi told Aham she loved him at the end, or their remarriage or Divya or just everything. It was really well written and tied everything up very well.

And of course, the epilogue was the icing on the cake.

Pari is an adorable name, and I loved that little scene with Aham and Pari. Gopi's pregnant again! Aham's planning on keeping her barefoot and pregnant? 😆

Overall though, it was a wonderful depiction of Goham's journey, and this Aham was so nice and repenting and patient and lovable. :)

Thanks for this story! 🤗 Hope you come back with another story soon! I shall be waiting.😳

Cheers!
Naina

Huuh big sigh its come to an end oh I'm gonna miss em mostly Divya I guess cos the other charactors will reincarnate...

but loved it Shilpa thank you for the journey...He managed to keep her barefoot and pregnant throughout the story...he da man your Ahemji any advice for his alter ego?😆

Awe..Thank you so much Tangam. Yes I kind of introduced Divya little late, but she would made a good pairing for Jigar.

Yeah he did keep her barefoot and pregnant, I should have mentioned she wanted her little boy so it was she who seduced our Ahemji.😉 So I don't know what I can teach his alter ego, as this one had no control once the new Gopi touched him and found ways to make him loose control, I suppose I should make the suggestions to Gopi.😆 That should be our next discussion topic.

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments.

awww...that was beautiful!!!!loved the ending!i absolutely loveed this story!i wish you would continue writing it!thanks so much!looking forward to more ff from you!😃
