We know that Gopi does not expect Aham to love her. Though she sees changes in him, unless he makes a straightforward confession, she will not take it for granted that he loves her. She will be happy and content with his actions, care and concern and consider herself blessed but will never expect him to fall in love..
As for Aham, he has surprised me. Aham is smart. He has seen his wife trying to impress him from the day they married. He has seen her strive hard to meet his expectations and in one corner of his heart, I think Aham knows and is absolutely certain that Gopi loves him. But he does not take it for granted.
Sometimes when they thank each other, I have felt annoyed that they are so formal. But today I see why they do that. We thank a lot of people in our day to day lives but we miss to thank those who really care. Gopi an Aham do just that. He thanks her not because it is a form of greeting, but because he wants her to know that he appreciates her care and effort. The same goes for Gopi..
Aham wants to work on his relation instead of assuming that Gopi will be in love with him. He is still nervous to see her reactions but also confident because he knows that his wife loves him.
That makes this relation such a deep one because this couple know to trust each other but they also cherish each other. They will not be bored with each other. And in the daily monotonous course of life, they will not let the monotony ruin their relation by keeping it fresh.
It is this attitude that will take them afar as without this, we hurt our love ones. It can be as small as going for a friend's dinner instead of eating the meal your wife cooked. It is not a big deal because the wife will say nothing and where would she go? But it usually ends up hurting the person.
But because these 2 respect and cherish these subtle expressions of love in the other, they will not let their love suffer nor will they assume that the other's love is easily obtained..
Too much philosophy on a Thursday But then I would love to know what you guys think...
