Chapter Four :  Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Chapter One

The End

Since a long time Ahem had tried to overlook the fact that Gopi was uneducated, but he was unable to bear it any longer. He had just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. As he looked through a few important files in his cupboard, he couldn't help feeling disappointed by the fact that Gopi hadn't even been able to sign the divorce papers. She was such a useless gawar according to him that she had to press her thumb print on the documents. He couldn't understand why his Mother had picked such a pathetic girl as his life partner. If only he'd refused her the day her rishta had first come, none of this would have occurred, thought Ahem. Being uneducated what could she possibly teach their children. As his thoughts swayed toward Anita, he wondered about her perfect and graceful ways. How modern she was, in thinking and in dressing, she was educated highly, alongside being beautiful, she would have kept his Mother happy as well as him. If only his Mother was able to see that.

Of course all was not lost, Kokila had come around soon enough, and everyone was aware of the divorce that had been applied for. All that he awaited now was the final decree stating that they were not legally compelled to live with each other anymore.

Kokila had however told Ahem that even if the final divorce certificate had come before Janamashtimi, Gopi will still celebrate the festive occasion in the Modi Mansion.

Ahem had lived with her long enough so a little time longer won't harm, and besides he needed to meet with Anita and discuss plans to what they will do once Gopi was out of his life, meanwhile.

Apart from the obvious Ahem being happy with her leave, he weren't alone, Rashi was overwhelmed by the fact that Gopi would be kicked out of the house. Urmila didn't mind at all as she would get her free servant back and could cut down on her expenses regarding extra help, as Kinjal had made life difficult since she had gotten married to Dhaval.

Gopi hadn't had a choice, it was in her nature to agree to everything that was in the benefit of her Ahem Ji, even if she was at the painful end. Although all hope seemed like it was lost, she hadn't lost faith in her Kahna Ji, and he would always support her. She knew whatever happens, happens only according to his will. As she lay there on the hard floor in the dark, she felt a strange shiver run through her body. Scared of how things were out of her control, she feared of losing a part of herself to Ahem Ji, that she will never be able to recover.

Her days were numbered there in the Modi Mansion, soon things would change and Anita Ji would join the company of Ahem Ji legally, and they would of course live happily ever after, thought Gopi sadly. It really did feel like the beginning of the end.
