A new day started with Kokilla asking Ahem to pray in the mandir...this got Ahem into a thinking...Was he thinking how will he let Gopi & his mom know that he wants to work on his marriage & take his relationship with Gopi forward...He prayed so intently that he did not realise that Gopi was standing next to him...Did he pray to the lord to show him the way on how to proceed further...
As a answer to prayer Gopi came & stood next to him...she was happy that he took care of the bird & bought the bird to him...In the commotion of the bird deciding to park itself on Ahem who was not comfortable & Gopi trying to retrieve the bird, it all happened in a few seconds & Gopi ended kissing Ahem...It took few seconds for both of them to realise the first kiss shared between them...both were suprised...she was worried on what she has done, he was shocked on what has happened...her worry was evident with tears in her eyes, in the way the thali fell from her hand & how she answered Jigar...When Ahem looked at Gopi after the kiss, he saw tears & her turning away from him...she did not blush or give her sweet smile & when she saw him from the mandir steps, his back was facing her...those few minutes both wanted comfort from each other to know that yes this is what they wanted...but both lost in their own thoughts failed to realise so...
In past Ahem ensured Gopi never had any such feelings or hopes about any relationship between them & Gopi stopped expecting the same from her husband !!! With Ahem now courting her to break the barriers he built between them, they have still not reached the stage where he thought about intimacy ...though during her accident they brushed against it !!!...So he was shocked...& still was when he told his mom about going to office even when it was sunday...What Ahem did not realise is that those few moments he had taken to understand what has happened & appreciate his wife's first kiss...he lost out on building a comfort for Gopi to tell her he enjoyed it...For Gopi, it was as if she has done something which was never to happen & thats the reason Ahem was moving away from her !!!
Both were so lost in their thoughts & both were unable to concentrate on the work they were to do...Ahem thinking about their first kiss in a pleasant way while Gopi thinking about it as something which should not have happened.. It was so evident with Gopi refusing to take tea to Ahem & Ahem expecting her to come into the room. When he saw his kaki he was so disappointed that his Kaki actually pointed out that he looked sad. After his Kaki left Ahem realised that Gopi was avoiding him !!!
Both Ahem & Gopi did not allow one another to reach out to the other. Both are avoiding each other for their own doubts that they have in the heart. A kiss between a couple brings closeness...but it looks that this kiss between them has created a uneasy distance as they are unable to share their feelings & thoughts with each other assuming that it not what the other partner wanted!!!
Will Ahem misunderstand Gopi that she does not want the relationship now & that he delayed in saving their relationship...Will Gopi feel that the closeness & friendship she shared with him will all be over with Ahem's reaction??Will they misunderstand each other's behavior so much that it will fuel the already existing distance in their relationship or will they be able to build a relationship by filling in all the gaps with their love ???
