Ahem was sitting at his dest at work thinking why it bothered him that the teddy bear was Rashi's gift to Jigar. What did he want Gopi to gift him something like that? No, of course not. It had been three days since that incident. He still remembers holding the teddy bear and looking at Gopi. She was quick to point out that it was not for him. What would I have done had it been for me? She has tried to show her love for me in the past and I had rebuked her each time. If she were to try again, would I be happy? So many questions were running thru his head. He was not able to concentrate on his work. Just then Jigar came in and said I have read the Metha Corp. files bhai, everything seems to be in order. All Ahem could do was be grateful Jigar had done his job and he did not have to look back. Ever since Rashi's truth came out Jigar had been very hardworking and he did it without any flaws. Ahem no longer had to double check his work. So with that both the brothers headed home.
When Ahem went to his room to change he found Gopi sitting on the bed doing some sewing. He went up to her and said how are you feeling today? She answered fine. These days why was she giving me only one word answers? I thought we had a break thru and she was able to tell me stuff. Maybe not everything, but at least she was communicating without stammering. Now it seems they are back at square one. How do I rectify this. He goes to Gopi and sits opposite her and says "Gopi, tum aaj kal mere saath baatein kyun nahi karti? Ek he shabd mein jawab dedeti ho? Kya mujhse naraj ho? Aur agar naraj no toh kyun?" ("Gopi, I have been noticing you don't talk to me anymore. Your answer my question with only one word? Are you mad at me for some reason? If so, what is the reason?")
Gopi looked at him in total shock. Could her Ahemji really care about how she feels? Is this even possible? Or have I landed myself on some kind of a twilight zone plane??? She looks at him and then looks down and answers "Ji...voh...aap teddy bear ki baat se leke kar mujhpe gussa toh nahi ho na? Mujhe malum hai ki aap ne mera khayal rakha voh sirf ek insaniyat ke vajay se...koi pyar ki liye nahi. Mujhe gala maat samjoh. Mein aap ko pehle jaise nahi parishaan karoogi. " ("Its just that I hope you are not angry with me about the teddy bear incident. I know you took care of me out of humanity...and not out of love. Don't take me the wrong way...I would never bother you like I used to before.")
Ahem is stunned at her comment and did not know what to say. So he says ok and goes to change his clothes. They both go downstairs together and join the family. Ahem still could not understand why her words hurt so much. Was he hoping she would do stuff like before? Like decorate our room...or get all gooey eyes for me? He looks at her in the kitchen and sees her face still looked sad. Whenever anyone else was around she smiled and then when she was alone she went back to her sad face. That look seemed to break his heart. He didn't know why...Ahem decided after dinner he was going to the terrace to think about all this. He needed some privacy and in this house that word did not exist. While he was pacing around on the he looked over at Savitaben's house and saw her son romancing his wife. He wanted to look away. He did not want to pry. But he could not help himself. He was watching the happiness on the wife's face when her husband kissed her on the forehead. He imagined how Gopi would look if he did that to her...he smiled thinking about it. He wondered if Gopi got shy from a kiss on her forehead how she would react to a kiss on her lips? He could not stand there anymore. Something in him wanted to find out for real. No more day dreaming or guessing. He was going to clear the air and see where that goes.
He goes down to their room and Gopi in her night sari is putting her sewing kit away and clearing the bed for sleep. He went to her and sat down on the opposite side and said "Mein tumse kuch kehna chaata hoon. Voh mujhe gussa nahi hai tummse...voh teddy bear ko leke. Balki mujhe aphsoos hai ki voh teddy bear mere liye nahi tha. Do pal ke liye mujhe laaga voh mere liye hai aur mein khush hua. Jab mujhe patta challa voh Rashi ka gift hai Jigar ke liye...Mujhe jalan hui. Tum samaj ti ho mein kya kehta hoon? ("I want to say something to you. I am not angry at you...about the teddy bear. In fact, I was sad that the teddy bear was not for me. For a second I thought it was for me and I was happy. When I found out it was Rashi's gift to Jigar...I was jealous. Do you understand what I am trying to say?")
Saying that he said I was hoping you would gift me something similar. By now Gopi had tears in her eyes. Ahem took her hand in his and said I am sorry Gopi. All the times in the past you were trying to show me how much you love me, I did not appreciate. Now when I want that from you, it is completely understandable why you would shy away from that. Please forgive me. I also know a small sorry is not going to make up for all the pain I have caused you in the past. But I am going to try and make up for all the tears you have shed for me. Will you give me that chance? Gopi who was in lala land just got up from the bed and walked to where Ahem was sitting and waited till Ahem stood up in front of her. She hugged him and said "Mein aap se boot pyar karti hoon Ahemji. Mein aap ke bina nahi jee sakhti. " (" I love you a lot Ahemji. I cannot live without you")
Ahem thought time to see how pink you turn. He lifted her face and kissed her forehead. And Gopi did not disappointment. He was on cloud nine. He now knew all this time he spent thinking about her was because he was falling for his wife. And he was falling hard. He made a solemn promise to himself he was going to try and be more open to her with his feelings and make sure she is also open with him. After she shied away from his arms, he grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. She hit his hard chest and smiled. She was beyond happy. Her Ahemji was hugging her and kissing her. WOW!!! Then Ahem cupped her face and kissed her on the lips in a very slow seductive way and said from now on we are going to work on our relationship. And we will not take the drastic step of making love till we are both confident and ready for it. Is that ok with you? She nodded yes while her cheeks were burning hot...with that said he went back to kissing her and said I think we can at least sleep on the same bed. She nodded again and this time he smirked. He liked her being in his arms. It felt so good and so right. After the lights were out he pulled her into his arms and said this is where you belong. From now on no more sleeping so far away from me ok? Gopi agreed and hugged her Ahemji with her head on his chest and fell asleep. Tomorrow seems to be looking brighter than ever...
