But...no. I don't think Ahem loves Gopi the way she loves him. Gopi's love has always been unconditional. In the first 2 years of their marriage she never expected anything from him. In fact, throughout the show she has never expected anything from him. Ahem's 'love' on the other hand has always been conditional. He only had the guts to 'confess his love' when he realised how he got her pregnant. When their daughter was supposed dead, he sank into his own state of depression. Not once did he think he needed to turn around and support his wife. She disappeared for 8 years and not once did he think to go find her. When Ahem found out Meera was their daughter, only then did he eventually drop his anger, apologise and accept Gopi back into his life. And even then he had to show some attitude before he had the guts to apologise. Plus it was the kids who provided him with a romantic setting.
When Kokila was for and Gopi was against Paridhi, he supported his mother.

So to me as a viewer Ahem's love is like this: as long as my kids are in my life and you worship the earth my mother walks on, Gopi I love you. However, if you do not meet the above conditions, I don't wanna know you.
