Just a few thoughts on today's episode that made me a little less depressed since Annika's realization of Love Fever.
As I said earlier I am in the minority because I think her falling in love (not revealing it to him) is a good thing for HER. It makes her focus on HER as Shivvay said and spend some time on herself. We all need to do that - make ourselves important so that we can recharge. I was very touched by his words and they were the perfect 'husband-like' response to her present plight. Take a break - take time out for yourself. Forget all the other problems for a while - just focus on you and Sahil. In other words - just chill.
PERFECT HUSBAND ADVISE TO HIS EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED WIFE WHO ALMOST DIED IN HIS ARMS AND THEN COMING BACK TO SEAL THAT WHOLE ADVISE PERFECTLY WITH A KISS❤️ ❤️ ❤️
HE TOLD HER TODAY THAT YOU ARE IMPORTANT, SPECIAL AND MY PRIORITY RIGHT NOW SO FORGET ALL THE REST THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND US AND LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. I WILL DEAL WITH THE REST - HAVE FAITH IN ME. JUST LAY LOW FOR A WHILE AND CATCH YOUR BREATH.
Now imagine you have said this to your wife who is following your advice (to your immense satisfaction and relief) and just going through the normal motions of the day (which is a rare thing presently at OM as we all know ) and trying to just go with the flow. You are happy and satisfied that atlest one thing is going right in this super busy/crazy day but then come home to find that she is being hounded again in her vulnerable emotional state, which in turn is going to be set back for you,undoing all the good you did this morning with her.
As a HUSBAND (which Shivvay is officially fast becoming since this morning) you are going to completely lose it that she is again being picked on and harassed in your absence. You are going to realize that this is fast becoming a pattern that she is being framed or blamed for something or the other, no matter how serious or trivial, every single time and that too in connection to the same person.
Today was a big step forward for Shivvay in his relationship with Annika.
Today's episode showed that he has no issues standing up for Annika in front of the whole Family (and soon it will be in front of the whole world I am certain). I loved how he did not even bother to refute Pinky's accusations about Annika and wore a stoic expression through all Pinky accused Annika for. His slight change in expressions only came when she insulted her about being the dust from the streets. Mr. Oberoi is not taking that insult about his wife very well nowadays from what I see. She is 'Shivvay Singh Oberoi's Wife' not a nobody from the streets as far as he is concerned now.
His Faith in her is unshakable and unwavering no matter what proof one has, to incriminate her in a certain act.
I was actually very proud of the way he stood up for her and amazed at it as well. HE was HER strength today. HE was her shield and her rock. She was so lost and frightened for the first time because of her confused state of mind that HE made the stand for HER.
I mentioned a shift in ShivIka Dynamics and it is here. STAGE 2
He did what a Husband would do and in my eyes has taken a big step in his redemption since the kiss this morning. Redemption is a slow road and is done in stages as one goes along in life. It is not always an all out confession and penance.
Even Annika is having a tough time distancing herself from this Shivvay who is fast becoming HER shield and her rock.
Up until now SHE was his shield and rock but with the realization of love has become weaker in her present state of confusion. This is where Shivvay now will become over protective about his mate who is presently weak and vulnerable to look after herself.
But that is under normal circumstances without the blackmail equation from Mrs. Kapoor.
Tia had a perfectly laid plan and it was successful as well. All the evidence pointed to Annika and nothing would have proved otherwise.
Shivvay's argument against this proof would never be held up in any court of justice. His will be purely based on his Faith and Confidence in who Annika really is - just like Dadi, Om, Rudy, Prinku and Saumya. He did not respond, waver or even bat an eyelid till he saw Annika's fingers covered in blood. He was the "SHIVVAY SINGH OBEROI" I had been waiting for him to change into.
Tia is being foolish in her attempts to throw Annika out and I cannot believe she was willing to risk the life of her unborn child from the man she truly claimed to love. It is almost certain she is going to loose the child as she is very careless with it's life.
Noteworthy additions to the post
Holding on to his Jaan so that she does not leave him while Pinky is dragging her away.
The patent SSO diaglgue that I always connect to Annika - HIS JAAN not his life. Remember he does not fear death - only losing HER to death "Shivvay Singh Oberoi ki Jaan itne Assani se nahi ja sakti hai"
The look that accompanied "Haath chodiye !!! Annika ka haath chodiye" said volumes about how much it angers him to see someone treat his WIFE this way. No matter that it is his own mother. He was clearly keeping his furious temper in check. This is after all "Shivvay Singh Oberoi's WIFE" and his JAAN
Yes Pinky - Shivvay has been suffering from Love Fever for a long time now ... he has been mesmerized by her for a long time now ... did you only JUST notice it. Who has always managed to get through to Shivvay even before their marriage?
He releases Annika from Pinky's hold and announces , "Annika kahi nahi jayegi" (na main kahi jaooga - na tumhe jane dooonga)
He releases Annika from Pinky's hold and stands between them because he knows his wife is very vulnerable and weak right now. HE has to be HER shield and stand in front of her to protect her from the verbal volley of hurtful insults and accusations.
