Sorry folks, could not write my series on friday as I was stuck really late at work !!! Cameback home really tired & just crashed & saturday's are more hectic than workdays & hence the delay in my post !!!
___________________________________________________________________________
With the family deciding to call Nilesh, Gopi was worried on how, her Ahemji & she could handle the stitutaion & the family. She knew her family would be really upset with the truth that it was Ahemji who was calling Anitha as Nilesh. She was worried for him & she was thinking on what she could do to help him in the situation. For Gopi, anything which effects her Ahemji effects her, in her heart, mind & soul both are just one & she just wants to take away all his problems even if it means she will face the consequences . In the past when Koki scolded Ahem for skipping breakfast as he had to leave for an important meeting in the morning as he had then taken the responsibility of teaching her, even before he could answer she took the blame on herself that he was awake late night because he was teaching her, but in reality he was working on his project. Gopi always wants her Ahemji to be happy & is ready to take any blame just for his sake !!!
Ahem was suprised when his kaki asked him & Jigar for Nilesh's no. & when his family told him about their plan of calling & speaking with Nilesh he was shocked & suprised. He knew what would be the consequences of that call. He had called Anitha as Nilesh only because of Anitha's poor health condition. He immediately looked at his wife Gopi for her support . One look at her worried face & her motioning him with her eyes that once the no. is given then it will be difficult to hold the family back he knew he had to do something to get the situation under control. He immediately stopped Jigar from sharing the no. & calmed his family saying that this was not the right time to call Nilesh as he was out of town & also Anitha still needed time to recover.
With his mom & family agreeing to his suggestion, he immediately looked at his wife to tell her silently to calm down as he was there to take care of everything. Ahem loves & knows his wife so much that he cannot see any trouble ever reaching her. Even before it reaches her, he stands before her to take it away from her & just wants to see her calm with a happy smile on her face. He wants her acceptance in everything he does, her opinion matters to him & he is ready to change his entire thoughts & plan as per her suggestions. Ahem has come a long way in accepting his gawar wife's opinions. In the past whenever she had a suggestion or even spoke, he would just ask her to shut up & say it on her face what do you a gawar know , you will always be a gawar... to now when only her opinion & acceptance counts for him. When he told his mom & kaki that he was going to get Anitha's medicines, he immediately looked at her if it was ok with her if he could go. With her smile he knew she was fine with it & he went away.
Gopi was worried for her Ahemji when he stopped her devarji from giving the no. But as he spoke to his family on his opinion, she prayed they would accept it & agree to it. Though her maaji & kaakiji had accepted it, she knew this was a temporary solution & knew this would come up sometime latter & her Ahemji would be in trouble. She was not happy lieing to her family & in her heart she still did not agree with what her Ahemji was doing thou it was for a good cause. When she heard her Ahemji saying that he was going to get medicines for Anitha & as he looked at her for her opinion, she smiled at him to let her know her acceptance as she knew he was helping someone who needed help.
Ahem knew when his mom told Baa that Gopi was coming that Anitha was also with her. As much as he feels gulity for what had happened with Anitha & wants to help her but he is not happy that she is in his home. He does not want to do anything with his past as he has moved away from it. Though he wanted to avoid this situation, he knew there was not much of a option after his mom took the decision of bringing her home. Ahem is happy with his present where his wife means so much to him & he does not want anything to effect this relationship which he treasures it in his heart. As Anitha sat opposite to him, he saw her to see if she was fine.
As Gopi was serving him dal, he heard Anitha saying it aloud that he does not like this dal. It shocked Ahem on why was Anitha bring up the past which was forgotten now. He immediately made his point clear to Anitha & to everyone around when he told Baa that now he eats this dal. He immediately asked Gopi, his wife to serve him dal in a normal tone & when he realised she was effected & lost, he pulled her from her thoughts as he called her name once again. And as she served him dal he ate the dal to not only tell Anitha that he is no more the same person he was in the past & that he has moved on & is a different person now but also to his wife as he wanted clear her thoughts & tell her that he has changed from what he was in the past to the present & that he is as she knows him. When Anitha made the statement, it did not bring happiness to Ahem that she remembered his likes & dislikes, infact it irritated him that she was pulling out the past which he has forgotten. What Ahem did not realise is that his wife needed more than his acceptance of just eating the dal. For her, him eating the dal was just accepting things without liking & somewhere her heart made her think if it was just the same way with their marriage.
Gopi was suprised when Anitha made a statement that Ahem does not like the dal she was serving. Even before her MIL helped her learn about her husband's choices, Gopi observed him from the time of their marriage to learn about him, his choices & preferences in day to day life even without him sharing the same. She always ensured he always had his things the way he liked. Today when someone else pointed out to her that her husband does not like the dal, it made her think if she actually knew her husband really well. One day when Ahem asked her what was made for dinner, she told him about a curry made for dinner. As she left the room, she realised he was not happy with what was made for dinner & turned around to tell him that Gobi ka shaqak was also there. Gopi's life revolves around her Ahemji, her husband & taking care of him. As she learned about him, she always made sure his choices were always taken care even if it were not hers. If he was happy, it bought contentment & happiness to her. But today she realised that there were so many things she did not know about her husband simple things such as his likes in what he eats. It made her realise the distance they had in their relationship. It made her realise the close relationship he had with Anitha where both had shared their likes & dislikes & it broke her heart that though they were married she was not that close to his heart that he could share his likes & dislikes with her.
Ahem came home & realised Gopi was taking care of Anitha in the guest room. He went searching for her for his heart needed her everyday as soon as he was back from work. He needed to see her calm face, her shy smile when she saw him & serve him his green tea. Just by her presence, she took away all the burdens of a hard day's work & he felt relaxed in her company. As he saw Gopi, he felt he was finally home & when he realised Anitha's glance on him, he did not want anybody else take that special moment away from him. Out of courtesy, as he walked into the room & waited for Gopi to put her pallu & stood beside her & asked Anitha how she was feeling. Ahem stood close to his wife as thats how he wants to be with her as his heart craves only for her. They have been like this always from the time he started to know about her & he continues to do so. It did not even occur in Ahem's heart that Anitha his past love was around & hence he did not stand far off from his wife to make Anitha feel better or stand too close to his wife to show Anitha that he has moved on way to well with his life. Gopi was his wife, his heart & his love & he treats her as his heart tells him. He knows his place was just beside her & went & stood next to her.
As Anitha thanked him & his wife Gopi for taking care of her he was not suprised & he felt pride for having Gopi as his wife. Ahem has learned about his wife Gopi by observing her & seeing the way she takes care & reacts to situation that he knows that without anyone pointing out or asking for she will always ensure the other person is well taken care off. As Anitha pointed out about moving out with Nilesh once he is back, Ahem & Gopi knew that because of them she had false hopes & it touched Gopi's heart !!! & As Anitha decided to call Nilesh, Ahem walked out asking Gopi silently to accompany him.
The day Ahem decided to call Anitha as Nilesh, he had done that only taking into situation Anitha's delicate health condition. He did not have any ulterior motive & he shared on why he did that with his wife. He wants Anitha to become fine & then move on with her life. Ahem did not call Gopi out to show her that he was not hiding anything from her. It did not even cross his mind that she will doubt him on doing anything because in his heart & mind he has nothing for Anitha. Gopi was his wife , his love & he knew she trusted him deeply & even in his thoughts he could never break her trust !!! He wanted Gopi to be with him as from the time, he made place for Gopi in his bed, in his room & in his heart both of them were together. She shared her problems with him & he shared his problems with her & together with each other's support they had overcome so many problems & issues. Today for Ahem both of them are one & he needs her, her support, her suggestions, her opinions, just her presence to overcome anything which life throws at them !!!
Gopi knows this that her Ahemji looks for her, her support & needs her more than anything or anyone else & though she still does not know if he loves her or not , she knows that certain things only a husband & wife can share with each other. She stands by him, supports him with her presence & simple gestures to let him know that she is always there for him but at the same time guiding him to make the right decisions. Even when she knows that the decision he has taken is not right, she does not abandon him but stands before him to take the consequences of those decisions before it reaches to him.
So with Ahem still continuing to be as Nilesh & even with Gopi knowing this, will they still be able to hold one another & cross this phase or will this decision of him supporting Anitha will make Gopi realise that she was not what her Ahemji had wanted in her life partner & make her realise that maybe he is living a life of acceptance than out of love. Will Ahem be able to realise it on time to calm her heart & tell her that he loves only her & none else & wants to just share his life with her & that he cannot live without her !!!
