Aham has always said goodbye to his mom. But he ignored Gopi all the time.. She was there because his mom wanted her. He wanted nothing to do with her.. There was a time when he had to be forced to say goodbye to her. He had to pretend and he did not like it.. And it showed...😕
Then came the day he left her at school... The first day when in the heat of the moment, for the first time I think Aham's heart ruled over his mind. He looked at his cute wife turn around and wave like a small child. And he involuntarily waved back. The action was automatic but he then realized what he did. I still smile thinking of how he mocked anger and how Gopi turns back and smiles to herself. That was the first chink in the armor of Mighty Mr. Modi.. That scene finished with his sigh, a sigh of satisfaction.. But then even that day the wave was more a reaction then an actual goodbye😊
So we have today... 😃
Aham stands up, turns and declares that they will all leave.. I specifically had the feeling that this declaration was for Gopi. He smartly turned this way and that but seeing the scene again and again, I find myself smiling.. Aham wanted or rather hoped Gopi would understand..
The dear girl did exactly that. She stopped him with the excuse of reminding him of the file. Aham has his back to her but his face reflects the joy he felt at her calling his name. Just what he wanted. He turned around and assured her that he had remembered to get the file.. Then gives her a proper goodbye. He did not tell her anything overtly sweet. But the heartfelt, "will be back at 6:30" equals a lot in terms of how their relationship has progressed.
Today Aham wanted not just to let his wife know that he would be back but also that he wanted them to have a normal relationship. His words were that of a husband who assures that he will miss his wife but will be back soon.. And the smile on Gopi's face said it all...👏
Hats off to the CVs. A very subtle scene of beauty and I am mesmerized..😳
How did you all feel on seeing the scene?
