<font color="#9900cc">Which part of Shivaay is butchered? The man is in love with his wife, he wants to make love to her, he is feeling happy. He is at home, no villains are after their lives for once. They are having wedding functions for his brothers and himself. Family is happy and dancing, sure Mom is making sour faces but he can deal with her.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">Annika is behaving funny, saying phrases as though she isn't sure of him. That she may be separated from him at anytime. He is to blame for that, he had shouted at her unfairly far too many times, the girl is feeling insecure. I'll make sure I don't shout again. </font>
<font color="#9900cc"> Okay now Annika has started fighting with his mother. Mom ki gaali must have increased towards her now. MOm's like that, she can talk to me, I can explain, Mom has a sharp tongue but she doesn't mean harm. Annika has a temper, when prodded too much she bursts. its okay, she'll say sorry and all will be well again. Women fight.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">Do tell me how is SHivaay butchered?</font>
<font color="#9900cc">Annika knows Shivaay has feelings for her. She has been enjoying his attentions so far, until Pinky started her evil tactics to kick her out.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">She does not think she is more important than his family. Pinky said it herself, "If it came between me and you, my son would choose me in a heartbeat..!" It's true, he would. In fact he would and expect her not to be angry about it also. That's how much he values his family. She comes after his family. Fact.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">Actually he has put his family and Annika side by side, equally important. But if the mutually exclusive events were to collide, he would choose his family. No brainer. Annika knows this, she can't expect more than this,according to Shivaay.</font>
<font color="#9900cc"> In fact she has been blatantly telling truth about Pinky aloud in front of an audience, Shivaay, shakti, Jhanvi, Prinku. Telling of her crocodile tears and plots, and shameless pretending. If anyone of them picks up the hints, the culprit has been called out in the open.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">He has been developing a new character trait as a husband to Annika, their nonverbal communication, understanding of what each other is up to. Perhaps that is what people are frustrated about, they see him as unresponsive to the obvious unrest in her face and behaviour.</font>
<font color="#9900cc">I don't know, maybe he'll surprise us yet. Or maybe Shivaay is just in love, and has weakened a little when it came to Annika. Ho sakta hai.</font>
