If Annika had grown up in a loving home, she might've seen or experienced a loving relationship. I get the feeling she was taken in by Sahil's father as a nanny for the baby. That's why they are so attached to each other. She does not speak of her step father at all.
And she had to clash with Shivaay, who has love but no idea what loving relationship is. He loves his siblings and Dadi a lot. But the fact is, none of the marriages in his house are ideal. So he has lofty notions that he will be the boss man, and the wife stays home, takes care of kids and does charity.
He is a control freak, and realized soon that she is uncontrollable. She is starved for love, and realized he has lots to give, but only for family.
It broke my heart, the way she grieved in the corner away from his family. She watched as each family member was tortured by Shivaay being at death's door. She had nobody there but him, he kept her by his side like a loved prisoner. Now he wasn't there, and she didn't know where to go or what to do.
This family needs him, he is their Wall. And he was hurt saving her. The unworthy, insignificant one. Poor thing must be feeling wretched. Why does life hand her such complicated situations? To love a man who withholds his love for her.
Of course her loves her as much as she loves him. But HE needs to reach out for her, hold her hand and never let go. No subtle gestures, or hidden meanings for her to interpret. Or she'll never feel at home, constantly waiting to be kicked out. That's torture, not love.
