Donno how I missed posting here on Saturday. I blame it on the fanatastic episode that we got that day .. 😆.
Loved reading your take. Looking forward to read ur view on today's episode..
Posting here my thots on the "AWWW" from Billu today.. Even though I loved the entire episode.. the aww is what made me fall in love with the char 😊Shivaayyy all over again
Shivaay's just aww to the Annika's love confession : Why did he just stop with an aww? My ressoning as below
Annika started her confession, by saying, with a blushing , exalted smile,yesterday, in front of everyone you said i am ur biwi, ur wife..What caught my attention was the way that smile was wiped off and replaced with a qn, confusipn, when Shivaay just responded saying "tho ..."
Shivaay knew where this was going and that tho was his way of saying no big deal, u need not feel indebt, it was ur right , i just did the right thing .. Since that morning He is noticing Annika is in a very exalted state.. very emotional. He even said that to her..
So he tried to bring her to her normal state with that thoo.. but it did not do the trick..
she continued with her love confession.. Again what struck me is the range of expressions that crossed Shivaay's face , and his undivided attention. He did not try to stop her in midway nor did he make faces nor any humarous comment.. he was totally floored.
And it took him some solid time to get back his senses. To get his head back in thinking.
Yes, the response was awww. And it had the desired effect on Annika..
She is now in her taadi avatar.. go e was the girl who just min ago, couldn't stop smiling for no reason who couldn't face shivaay, incase he will think she is paagal, who was basically someone totally in llove and showing the world she is in love..
This Annika Shivaay know to handle not the one who is putty in his hands.. At least not yet..
Most of us feel that Shivaay has never shown regret on the way he forced Annika into this marriage.. he never said sorry. He even pretends the marriage happened in normal circumstances ( saturday his narration of the thier marriage eludes to this) , but I believe it is not the case.
This man is so burdened by guilt, the way he misjudged her, the way he let Daksh fool him and mostly the way he hunted her down and forced her into marriage.. Their marriage, the way it happened is something that he would happily erase from the history of shivika,if he could. But he can't so the next best thing he can is cut a pact with Annika ,Just like pan banaras wala scene, the way marraige happened is also something that they will never discuss.. This happen the day, when Annika reconciled the bro and S wanted to say thank you.. that day he said , i agree it was a mistake but u donot have to bring it up again and again .that day the deal was signed .. Both won't bring the topic of forced marriage again..
But Shivaay has no way forgotten or forgiven himself for the same. Saturday, the loudest roar at Daksh was when he said "He forced himself" ..Shivaay did not even let Daksh finish his sentence there.. This was not something for public to know. Very private. Togh luck that his family got to see the video thanks to Khanna, but no way was he going to let the Press get privy to this news.
The reason he takes baby steps with Annika as far as flirting, etc, is bcze ( of course some of it is his nkk) of his guilt and bcze he true.y does not know where he stands with Annika..since the beginning. Shivaay keeps telling Annika, she is attracted to him, she is obsessed abt him etc etc and each time Annika denies it strongly.rubbishes it off. He has been attracted to her and is very much obsessed since initial days. Now his feelings are even stronger.. he will cease to exist without her..
The very first time Shivaay started to "flirt" with her, is after that "do dil mil rehe hai" , under the staircase scene.. That day for the very first time Shivaay came to know the effect he has on her and that she is not as unaffected as she claims to be.. followed by her claiming him her pati infront of tia, and her blushing etc etc.. give him indication that she may be attracted to him .. so baby steps in. Aking her realize this feeling more .. blush/brush, taadna etc was a result of this.. He is sort of courting her. That is the initial stage of a love realisation according to me..
shivaay will not rush into making this marriage "real" .. He will court his wife, make her fall in love with him, make her admit that she loves him , and then he will be ready for the next stage in marriage..
Today it would have been cery easy to get a love confession from Annika, an answer to his farak padtha hai too..for that matter anything , she was at a very vulnerable point .. she was basking at the new found feeling of being SSO wife officialy.. smiling for no reason ..
Shivaay simply did not want to take advantage of this. So he did what he is best at doing.. played the entire scene down..let her believe , its no big deal.. let her think, her love confession is only worthy of a awww, the sound that high fii engling speaking girls make for a puppy ..
This guy will wait for this confession again that comes on a normal day when she is not driven by gratitude and respect ( which is what shivaay thinks what she feels, just like the day when she came confronting him abt enrolling sahil in a high fii private school) ..
Sorry abt the long post.. not sure if any of what i said makes sense even.. ..
In short, i think what I am saying is that Awww was Shivaay 's way of bringing Annika back from cloud 9 to earth.
PS..
I keep saying love confession. Bcze today her diLogues closely matched her thots on love.. That she told mallika. She is even smiling for no reason.. she is hearing music too ..
