Absolutely.What a lovely episode! This is a close contender for my fav ShivIka scene so far along with the Anika unconscious wala episode.
The first few minutes were so, so moving. Anika pouring her heart out about her struggles, about how someone like her is "ainvayi" and does not have time to die, let alone love. And how she would love to be the center of someone's universe, though she is convinced that something like that will not happen. I really found it very touching because as an orphan she has been struggling from the beginning and has had no one to call her own. No family, no parents. Just Sahil. No wonder she yearns for this powerful thing called love which she has read about, but is also skeptical about.
Shivaay was really moved by her poignant and honest speech. He couldn't take his eyes off her and didn't even notice his phone ringing. His eyes followed her even after she left the room. â¤ď¸
OmRu and Malika were moved too by Anika's honesty- Om kept nodding gently and Rudra looked so touched. Om saying "Sach mein dhal jate hein kisse" in response which he said to Shivaay in an earlier episodeđł.
The things that Malika said regarding her issues with Sidharth's mom had a foreshadowing- I am sure it will arise with regard to Shivaay and Anika as well. Hope Shivaay takes a stand for his ladylove/wife when the occasion arises and respects her and her work.
Another foreshadowing was Shivaay's opinion about girls and their mental strength. Hope he realizes that Anika for one is exceptionally strong and has handled life and its myriad problems and issues solely on her own, without any support whatsoever.
