Navin,
Your post reminded me of one that you wrote yourself long back, I dont remember the title exactly, something about 'Gul struggling to bring Anika back' or something...Every word that you wrote then and here is painfully true. For someone like me who loved to indulge in the candy pink bubble romance, that illusion was long broken by your previous post. Thats precisely why the Shivika romance in the past 2 epis, however rosy, made me rant on my previous post.
Shivaay once says in an episode that his pride and beliefs define him and without them, he wouldn't be Shivaay Singh Oberoi. That guy is very much in there even now. Beliefs dont change overnight and I doubt any amount of love and care right now from Ani would ever make him shun those ideas which are embedded into his very being.
Because right now, even if Shivaay is in love with her ( the love part is debatable ) and is attracted to her and she is his wife on paper, he hasn't given her her due as a husband, not acknowledged her in pubic and no one outside the walls of OM know about her being his wife. And to make that decision, he needs to literally change and become a new Shivaay. One who is not merely willing to 'accept' her as his wife, but sees her as his pride, his blessing , as someone who he wakes up to and thinks , 'Just how did I get her as my wife?? I am so bloody lucky!! '. I would hate it if she felt that she was inadequate or not good enough to be his wife.
Because Ani deserves nothing less. Ani is practical, someone who believed that 'girls like her could never be loved' and who has had everyone she ever loved taken away from her and never had anyone for herself and now she is basking in the knowledge that he is hers, her 'mera pati' and haq jatana proves it. And today, Tej's blunt remarks brought her back to ground zero when Tej called Shivaay's marriage to her a huge sacrifice from his side, that Shivaay would have had aspirations for a better wife but unfortunately, he was forced to marry Ani, a girl with no class or status! What a painful thing for her to hear!! And her husband saw her hurt but stayed silent!!
So you are right. A separation is needed, I doubt that a true divorce will happen. She will suffer but she is a fighter and will come out stronger than ever before, thanks to her eternal sunshine, Sahil. And meanwhile Shivaay will get what he always wanted. A society wife with class and bloodline. And despise himself for what he lost. I think the first breaks in his NKK beliefs are already there,and with Tia's betrayal and the growing family politics will make him crave Ani.
I do have a small problem here, the same one that was there in that thread. How will Ani ever be enough?? Its already been established that she has a heart of gold and she loves him but what will make her indispensable to Shivaay?? I have always wondered this and it has hurt so I have stopped. I believe you need respect more than love in a relationship. So what will make him give her his heart and his name with pride rather than just love??
