It was symbolic to say the least. I think our Ahem now has assumed total responsibility and support for Gopi.
Till just a few months ago and till now in their marriage, Gopi's support system in Modi Bhavan has been Kokila. She has been there to help Gopi all along when her husband would not even look at her. Now we are at a stage where Ahem eagerly wants to step into the shoes that his mom had temporarily put on. I think now at least internally he wants to be the person Gopi turns to every time she needs something. Hence his act of holding her today and the precap where he is seen insisting that he was right.. Gopi was weak. He KNOWS more about her than the others :)
However I am happy. I do not feel this will lead to a showdown between mom and son, I think Koki will take it in her stride.. Even a showdown will just be to make Ahem realize his obsession and teach him about balance.. Not for anything else. Note that
1. Looking closely at her face when Ahem held on to Gopi when leaving the park. Koki is surprised and happy.
2. She was not immediately irritated by Ahem's outburst in the precap.
Yes. There are going to be testing times for the mom-son relationship. But I think Gopi will play the role as the mediator and fix both in her own simple ways. 😃 I am excited!!!!
