Ahem bore the growing nettling and frustration of the happenings around him that niggled at him through the puja. What triggered his eruption after the puja where the sounds from the toy and his mother's persistent probing of his detached behaviour, only for him to blurt out the thoughts that were at the tip of his tongue reflecting what his mind was thinking.
Not long thereafter did he realise what he expressed, regretting it instantly and wanting to make amends. The damage was done and there was no retracting. The boundary was laid, the law was enforced and the separation was put into place.
Ahem questioned the timing of their child. Why would he want to go through this at this stage of his blossoming relationship with his wife. His frustration mounted with him not being about to spend time with her as she would be with others rather than him. At night he could not even sleep alongside her fearing he may hurt her and the baby. Thereafter came the natter and expectations of becoming a responsible father. These were the factors that drove a wedge between his heart, his love for his wife, and his mind, the dawning reality.
The thing with Ahem is that he is in a state of quandary. Reality verses fantasy were being played out right in front of him. He was having such a good time spinning an illusionary world of love with Gopi not paying too much attention to the reality. Eventually the needle had ripped from the record and he landed in reality with a cold, hard bump.
Now his world is in an upheaval. His illusions will not materialise and his desires won't be fulfilled, leaving his heart aching for her as he watched her be pulled away from their room.
What will it take to mend this and how soon?
A thing to note in Ahem and love today:
* impeccable acting were given by both Nazim and Rupal.
