With Ahem in a dilema of not being able to convince his mom & with his Kaka asking him to be early for work to finalise on the project, he did not know what to answer, his mom answered that he would not be going to work & he was not well...Gopi's complete attention was on him & she was concerned for him...she was about to get medicines for him when he cut her abruptly !!!
Latter as Gopi came into the room, Ahem in the meanwhile was contemplating on how to handle the situation !!! As she called out his name & asked him to take the medicine, he glanced at her face which was full of worry & concern for him...there was a visible change in his face as he pushed his anger down & replied back to her saying that he did not want it ...As she insisted, he asked her to leave him alone & walked away from her...leaving her no option of reaching out to him...On the surface their relation did look like they still have distance between them as both are unable to open up & share their problems with each other !!!
The morning shocked Gopi when she saw Ahem ironing clothes...she immediately rushed to his side to take over it from him ...As her Maaji walked in she was a witness to the interaction between her Ahemji & Maaji...her maaji ordering him to iron the clothes & him agreeing to his mom...She did not know what was going on !!! After her maaji left, Gopi requested Ahem to let her do the work...Ahem took this opportunity to explain it to her on why he was doing it...he answered all her questions without hiding any truth...when Gopi was about to take the blame he asked her to leave it & not bother about it...Similar to the kite flying incident time where he was disappointed on losing the competition & walked away from Gopi to only latter reach out to her to listen to her & also explain his point ...In contrast to the past Ahem who always took out his anger on Gopi & ordered her to get out of the room !!!
Ahem explained clearly to Gopi that his mom has lot of expectations on him & that he has already let her down & that he is taking punishment for it...Even in all of this he ensured Gopi knows everything but at the sametime he is not allowing her to take the blame. He is standing in front of her as a husband protecting her from anything which effects her...On the other hand Gopi has seen the love & strong relationship between her Ahemji & Maaji from the start of her marriage into this house...as Ahem asked her to leave him after burning his finger...she was hurt that there is friction between a mother & son because of her !!!
In the past when Ahem could not stand Gopi & threw money on her face during Kinjle's wedding saying that she must be happy now because he was humilated, she expressed her feelings out to herself saying that hope he understands that how can she be happy when he was sad & that her happiness lies in his happiness...Now knowing that she is the cause for the friction & seeing her Ahemji trying hard to please his mother & being hurt, she is distressed...will she speak to her maaji & explain that she was the reason that Ahem was not there for the meeting? Will she be able to please her Maaji saying that they have gone to get the bangles for her !!! Hearing the truth from her Maaji that only because of Gopi that her Ahemji is not giving importance to work, will she distance herself from Ahem? will Ahem be able to recognise the distance if she puts in between them? will he allow her to do it or will he put a stop to her efforts of getting in distance between them? Ahem is at a crossroads unable to keep both the women in his life happy at the sametime...as of now he is on the path of pleasing his mom but if Gopi is what he needs to give up to keep his mom happy, will he do that?
