"'Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy.
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many pretty things to show when you are there." - Mary Howitt
Does anyone else besides me get the feeling that Tia is dropping clues around and for Annika to see on purpose? It's like she is weaving these situations for Annika's eyes only and inviting her to fall into her trap.
- Annika discovering Tia hugging someone in the Garden
- Tia talking on the phone after she leaves Shivvay's room and Annika happens to overhear her
- Today's episode had Pinky and Jhanvi sitting right next to Annika and yet there was a 'performance of sorts put on' only for Annika's benefit.
- Then the receipt for the 'couples massage' - I did not see it anywhere on the table where Annika kept her bag unless I missed it somehow.Someone could have planted it in Annika's bag. Why did she find it a day later? Why not the same day? i am sure she looked in her bag the evening or night of the day she had gone to that spa either to get her phone or house keys?
... and I am sure as time passes we will have only Annika stumble across these things.
It's like what someone would do to psyche a person and prove they are mentally insane in order to commit them to an asylum.
As the situations will pop up around Annika and she tries to address these with Shivvay - time and again she will be proven wrong. This will portray Tia as an innocent victim of Annika's out of control jealousy.
At one point I feel Tia might even be willing to sacrifice her marriage with Shivvay for their happiness and union and maybe at that point things will take an ugly turn. It will show Annika as a scheming and conniving person and her whole reputation will be at stake.
I can completely justify and understand Shivvay going ballistic at this point if this is how it plays out. Mentioning what he says and does at this point will be irrelevant as we all can imagine the scene that will unfold. How ugly,heartbreaking and depressing those days will be for all the 'ShivIkka-ians' we all know very well.
I am sure that is Tia's goal. I would love it if they show us more of the REAL Tia. Hats off to the woman who could hoodwink SSO. She is a real patient and cautious player. This is not Tia unraveling people - this is Tia messing with Annika's head.
By the time Annika realizes her game it will be too late. Her credibility will be lost not just in Shavvay's eyes but with all the Oberoi's. All doors to Oberoi will close on her forever and it would seem she brought it on herself with poor, innocent, mild Tia as her target.
Annika's many successes in saving the Oberoi's has increased her credibility in Shivvay's eyes. Tia has had to apologize on at least 2 occasions to Annika because of that, which would definitely not have sat well with her. She also knows that as long as Annika is around and has Shivvay's ear she will not be successful in executing whatever devious plan she has in mind.
The separation of Annika from Shivvay is very vital to her survival and success. I believe she will go to any lengths to achieve her target since it is within easy reach now.
I feel very sorry for Shivvay as well because there will be things he will say that might never be forgiven and feelings he will hurt that may never heal. His road to wining Annika back in his life is either going to be a long one filled with years of penance OR a forced relationship (marriage) based on blackmail to keep her tied to him which gives him easy access to her always and all the time needed to win her back.
