Ahem and love: transforming Ahem

Hey Swasthi, another excellent point of view.

I agree with you on Kinjal and her part in the whole situation, but there were hidden messages in the words in the advice that Koki gave to Gopi regarding Ahem's things.

First let me address the Kinjal issue, she will now make plans to take revenge on Gopi also, just because Gopi stood up to her today. So there will be more opportunity for him to notice his sister's behavior towards his wife.

I believe Koki has been witness to Ahem's changing behavior ever since Ahem volunteered to educate Gopi himself. It became more noticeable on Janmasthami, when he went to help her, then again when he asked her to give medicine for cold, on Diwali when he helped her with the diyas and prevented her from falling, and finally his behavior early that morning.

I think Koki was trying to convey message to both Gopi and Ahem after observing them of late, for Gopi to take care of him and his things, and for him to let his wife know of his needs and let her take care of him and his things.

He did not show any outward reaction, but the message was received. Ahem loves his mom and he does not want to hurt her in any way, he may feel that if he starts asking Gopi for everything, leaving his mom out, may hurt her, so when Koki is around he doesn't look to Gopi for anything, but today he got his mom's stamp of approval, she let him know in not so many words that it is okay for him to let his wife take care of him and his things. He will ponder on this, and we won't know if he took his mom's advice or not, until the next time he needs something.

As for Koki, she may have noticed his awkwardness also earlier, and thought may be she needs to convey a message to him that it is ok for him to let go of her pallu and hole his wife's, just like Nani had told him on his earlier visit. He has already started to do this when they are alone, but not he needs to do this in front of the family also.

Not only is your analysis spot on as usual but you also bring a new perspective and insight to the episode ... thanks 

yeah I too felt bad that Ahem did not behave as the way he needs to behave today. but wait a sec, he is still not able to say against his mom. it is not his habit to go against his mom yet. but i think he did feel disappointed when gopi carried the blame. and coming to wishing his mom good bye, i think it naturally happens. he need not tell good bye to gopi to make her understand his feelings. he is already expressing his feelings to her in many different ways. he know she is his. so no need for any formalities. that is the beauty of wife-husband relationship. you need not do anything explicit.
so i dont have any complaints on ahem today.
