Ahem was very uncomfortable as Anitha started to sing & he did not reciprocate the feelings she was expressing thru her song. He was irritated that she was bringing up the past which has no meaning to him now.
The moment Anitha started to sing mocking her love & her marriage, Gopi could no longer stay back & see an outsider destroy her marriage, she believed her heart which told her to stand up for herself , her marriage & her love. She immediately stood up to put forward her feelings thru the song. At every turn in the competition Anitha made fun of Gopi & her relationship with her husband & their marriage & at every turn Gopi put forward her feelings expressing her pure love to her husband & her sincerity in marriage. Gopi believes in loving the person without any expectation letting the person decide if he wants to love her or not, she took care of his family as hers.
When she was questioned if she was worthy of the marriage, her relationship, she answered back that she believed in her kanaji that he knew what was good for her & accepted his will even when there was no hope for her marriage & she believed in her destiny, her sindoor !!! Today Gopi expressed her love for him, her husband & the trust in her destiny, her marriage & is holding on to it & is ready to fight for her relationship. When it comes to her marriage & her Ahemji she is now not going to let anyone come in between or create any problems between them !!! This is how her life has been so far & she expressed it thru the song on how from no hope to now where everyday they have dreams & hope for their marriage. As she expressed all her feelings, Gopi looked at her Ahemji for answers & support !!!
Ahem's whole attention was on his Gopi as she shared her feelings. He lived each & every feeling of love as she expressed them thru her song. He was happy that she believed in their marriage & realised how blessed was he to have her in his life !!! When Gopi looked for answers he was there giving her his support & when Gopi was asked if she was worthy in the marriage, Ahem realised at that point, he was the one who was not worthy & bent his head immediately. Finally as his wife expressed all her feelings of love towards him & their marriage, his happiness knew no boundaries as the feeling sunk into him !!! So will he also share what he feels for his wife with her , so that she also knows how much he loves her !!!
After the song & after taking blessings of her maaji, the 1st person Gopi looked around for was her husband. She wanted to share this special moments of love with him after expressing her deep love & her sincerity to him, her Ahemji. She searched for him & after finding him, she was almost there when she remembered her promise to her Rashiben & stood back in the same place unable to hold herself back from him & yet stay away from him !!!
As Ahem was talking to someone he saw his wife looking at him with deep love & then a moment latter holding herself from expressing her feelings. After hearing her expression of love for him & her belief in their marriage, he could no longer hold himself back. In the past, even though Ahem respected his marriage & slowly started to understand his wife, yet he always waited for her to take the 1st step in their relationship. Today his pride, nor his ego could hold him back & as she started to withdraw herself, he forgot everything else as he just wanted her & noneelse. He took those hurried steps to hold her & tell her to never leave him as he is nothing without her !!!
As Gopi saw her Ahemji coughing, she could not hold herself back yet because of the promise she had to & as Rashi took the promise back, her happiness was uncontrollable. It was just a few days that she had not spoken to him, yet it appeared as a lifetime punishment she was undergoing staying away from him. She immediately took care of her love, her Ahemji !!!
As Gopi handed water to him, Ahem did not even blink his eyes as he kept observing her, hoping it is not his dream & wanting to stay in reality with her. Life has taken an complete reversal...was it just a few months back during navratri... Gopi was thirsty & Ahem had handed her a glass of water. As she drank the water, Gopi could not blink her eye as she saw him care for her. Today Ahem could not blink his eyes as he saw his wife care for him. Ahem knew that his wife had finally forgiven him , but yet he asked her for her forgiveness. Even if he did not, he knew their relationship will not get effected but he could not rest in peace knowing that he hurt his wife & yet did not apologise to her. He put his heartfelt feelings in the sorry for her to accept & put him out of this misery. Never in his life will Ahem ever take his wife or her feelings for granted in his anger, as he has learnt a very valuable lesson over the last few days of how his life would be lonely without her tugging his heart every moment !!! As she forgave him, he felt light at heart & realised how blessed he was to have her, his Gopi in his life for eternity.
Ahem understood the deep meaning with which his wife sang the song & shared with her on how he felt very happy listening to her expressing her feelings. He had seen her fulfilling all the promises of their marriage without any expectation just believing in her kanaji that somebody their marriage will also be filled with happiness & joy !!! In the past they were many times Ahem had scolded Gopi for he though she was the one who was the reason of his mother's misery...before Kinjal's wedding, during the DIL-MIL competion. He has actually scolded her just before she was leaving to write her exams the 1st time after losing the competition, but today as he saw his mom very happy, he realised how blessed was his family to have her as part of them !!!
As the results were being announced Ahem was more excited & anxious for his wife. For Gopi, she had already won as she had shared her feeling of love with him who mattered to her, her Ahemji & finally after ages they were together forgetting everything about their recent past to just be with each other !!! As the winner was announced Gopi could not hold back her happiness, she looked at the 2 important people in her life with whom she shared those few minutes...her Ahemji & her maaji. Ahem was so happy for his wife, who had won the competition, no-where did he even remember that she had not only won against other competitors but against his past love Anitha. He infact did not even remember about Anitha that is how much deep is he in love with his Gopi !!!
As Gopi was asked to say a few words, she looked at her maaji for support & her maaji from time of her marriage has been her support & today also. But after her maaji , Gopi looked at him who mattered the most , her Ahemji for support & as encouraged her, she felt the confidence to stand before the audience & express her happiness. In the past, even when Gopi looked at Ahem for support, he always turned away not bothering about her feelings...the 1st time he did was during her examination & since then he has become an integral part of her life, encouraging her & becoming her strength !!!
As Gopi received the trophy, Ahem felt very happy & proud of his wife, his Gopi. During the 1st navrtri dance competition, the trophy they had won, reminded him of her not being worthy of him & his family. But today her trophy made him realise how talented & blessed she was in life & how blessed was he to have her in his life & for the 1st time, he did not hold back in sharing his feelings with his mom. During the last navratri his mom saw him for the 1st time appreciating his wife's talent as a person in the crowd but today he expressed his feelings about his wife openly without hesitation !!!
Will the night pan out to bring them much closer to each other, expressing their feelings of love for one another & ...with the impending danger who will be effected & how will it effect them & their relationship !!!
