So many plots are going in different speeds, I'm wondering if it's going run into each other soon.š²
Shivika
Shivaay had his hands full today with Ragini's clingy behaviour. He's being a friend in need, but he sets record straight to her face. "Neither were we ever engaged, nor will we ever be. So what's the problem here?"
Ragini, this guy is so not into you. He has eyes only for Annika and you're wasting your time and efforts, coz he will never love you. Save yourself some humiliation, dude.š¤”
Samar does his part and crashed into their table and leaves. But Shivaay calls the cops , and ACP Bhavya is already on the case with CCTV proof that Rags faked it all.
Annika sees the proof and marches to get Shivaay out of her clutches, but she stops at the door, realizing that if she went in her style, she's going to end up the fool.
(it was sad, because she has truth and she thinks he won't believe her. Inside the room is pathological liar and he's buying the entire story.)š
Shivaay sees her ranting outside the door, visibly upset. He deals with the clingy needy Rags who's stuck like chewing gum, and goes to find Annika. It was so sweet that he finds the time to check on her as well.
He asks her what's bothering her. He can see it in her face, but she declines to tell him, evading the matter. Irony is , he actually cares for her, and she won't tell him the matter. There he can't wait for cops to take over, and he can't shake Ragini off.
He holds her arm, stopping her, very sincerely asking if she was having trouble with something. I so liked the way he was searching her face for reactions, must have been dejavu.
Bhavya appears with info, and he leaves her to her girl posse, Bhavya is ACP no less. She's in safe hands. I wonder why he doesn't ask Bhavya to check up on the madman who just tried to run him down at a cafe. Nope, Bhavya is Annika's squad, he won't disturb that.
Later the family frets over baby, and renamed her Pari. Such a cutie pie she is !! Baby smiles are the sweetest thing in the world.
In between the singing and dancing, Annika throws a sarcastic remark. "He shows us Tadibaazi, but even a baby can make him dance to her tunes..." and she walks off.
it's like disturbing a dog and expecting it not to bark. He didn't miss the chance! He marched right up to her , demanding explanation for her sarcasm. She coyly evades.
"I don't dance to anybody's tunes. Shivaay Singh Oberoi does only what he wants to do. If you want to make sarcastic remarks at least own up to it."
She shrugs and turns to leave. That atypical random breeze blew again out of the blue, and she trips and falls into Shivaay's ready arms. Did she purposely do it? I dunno, debatable. But there he was following her, arguing with her, catching her, getting the feels with her.
Mr Chalu Cheez just mixed with Tadibaaz SSO. He continued to hold her, didn't set her up straight, and she also just lay there like that in his arms. He inhales her scent and looks like a spell was cast around them. Both lost in each other , oblivious to surroundings.
(Anger is fading between them. Love and chemistry is too strong for them to stay mad at each other for long. Too much missing is going on here.)
Ragini turns green with envy and calls Shivaay's phone to get his attention back. Curious what happened. He continued to hold her , refusing to break that contact despite the nagging phone.
He asks Annika to fish the phone out of his pockets!! hahahah.š..Chalu Cheez!! So she pulls out his pocket square , then awkwardly fishes in his lower coat pocket for the phone. Hormones flying everywhere, swirling around them. He insists to hold her "Because SSO does what he wants to"
Then came the wet blanket to put out the fire. "it's your Nagini calling.." Annika's face is already withdrawn and she's no longer in the zone with him.
He insists to keep holding her. Visibly irritated, he says "Put the phone to my ear".. Even Ragini can't make me stop doing what I want (which is to hold you). But Ragini demands his presence and with an annoyed face, he says he'll come soon.
Note his face as she stood up and out of his arms. He watched her face fall, return to her poker face, as she stuffed the pocket square back into his coat.
(If that pocket square was his heart, she had just took it from him there for a moment , but just returned it and walked away when Ragini demanded his attention.)
I feel an awareness is building up in Shivaay towards Annika. He hates it when she's quiet and withdrawn, he dislikes it when he can't see what's going on with her. Everything is coming back slowly, beautifully.
Thank goodness he didn't yell at her in the room, and it was just her imagination.š¤£
Rikara
Ponky spouts some disgusting spiel about NKK and how Gauri isn't worthy of Omkara. She's trying to take Annika's squad away from her, I doubt she even cares about Omkara's married life. Because Om wouldn't do any of those things Pinky spewed. š”and Gauri knows this.
But it seemed to have hit a nerve in Gauri. She rants at Om, asking what is the basis of their relationship, is it guilt or obligation? Because they didn't have all the hallmarks of a normal marriage. Why continue the farce?
I'm so happy she asked all these questions. Om better make up his mind , because it isn't fair to Gauri, to be stuck like this. I may have missed a few older episodes, but I don't think Gauri realized she loved Om either right?
But important questions were asked, but he didn't answer. Frankly I don't see love in his eyes yet, attraction maybe, admiration of a good person who has done much for him & his mother.
I have a weird feeling Gauri's mom is dying and she came to say her last goodbyes. I may be wrong. But her picture falling and breaking, Om drawing her portrait and Gauri suddenly missing her, gave me the vibes. Plus she keeps saying "Before I die..."
RuVya
They are progressing sweetly. Bhavya finds Rudra adorable and cute. There is plenty of attraction but there's a hint of ego issues related to Bhavya's police work. She has to leave soon and some emotional scenes are coming I presume.
Tej-Jhanvi-Svetlana
Something weird is going on here. Tej suddenly looks like he is only with Svets to get something back from her. Some proof of something. But it doesn't mean he wants to be with Jhanvi either because he is playing nasty tricks on weak hearted wife.
Svetlana smells the pungent stink of betrayal, and decides to reveal his duplicity to Jhanvi herself. Wonder where this is going...
In so many words, a great episode!!
