Respect and Res(erved) 😆
So beautifully written, my love, so absolutely beautifully written I've bookmarked it for rereads for the future, when Daksh comes out with the creepiness, and we have to grit out teeth and take it. For me, the Daksh storyline is like we are going to the dentist, and just have to deal with the pain and the drilling and the winces, because we know its good for us, soon it will be over, and we will have a healthier time. Honestly, Daksh scenes are like medicine for me now-- abhi aakhen band kar ke ugalo, better feel karogi 4-8 weeks ke baad. So thank you for this rational, detailed and still very kind read on a character we actually DO need, whether we want it, or not.
To stretch my analogy further, as Om has pointed out again and again, there is no NEED for the disconnect, the distance for Shivaay and Anika. His jhaap is such an artifical construct it is being merrily ripped apart by another owner of khoon/ khandaan/ naam and paisa. Daksh is his childhood friend, after all--and 300 crores is nothing to sneeze at. He is an established architect, of the same social standing as Tia or Mallika, or them. Since (irrespective of his nature) he is publicly choosing Anika, Shivaay has to see his belief is stupid if it doesn't even apply to his best friend. So Om saying, now, let your heart do its thing, and your brain will follow, let them work together, so you are not cut into half, so you are not deprived of any of your intellect--or your love. That is something Daksh will show is possible.
Also, I had to comment because of that passage where you described why he doesn't even admit to HER why he can sense her presence. Its his own little secret. he's used it to find her when she's in danger, to track her down around the house. But also for really small moments, which is my favorite, like you would do if you had a tiny little super power-- in his room, when she's coming and he actually tries it out, to see it working...closing his eyes when she approaches, saying her name without looking up, or reaching behind him when she's hovering with s snake-- just testing it for himself, and kind of being triumphant every time it works. But just like his dimaag that is making a bheja-fry of his heart, its a sense that is based on the heart, and will go wrong if its not being used..
Thank you for this. You have expressed it so much more beautifully than I did. I did equal that to his Kryptonite (heart ruling his head) in my other post but you have done much more. I love the way you put it, so much detail. Thank you again 😊
When he's not using his heart, his sense of her it fails him in spectacular ways--when he chose to not go to her house after calling out her name, though he knew his heart was hammering in fear, he did it because of Tia's words in his head. When he was arguing about Tia and Anika to Om, not sensing her presence, it was the one time his ESP should have worked FASTER. But it didn't because he was letting his brain overcome his feelings. That is what comes of the disconnect. Shivaay will hopefully have a few weeks of learning this lesson via Daksh.
It is a lesson that almost literally cost Anika her life, and today, symbolically, cost him his.
Yes... yes.. and another yes. Ah! you said it much more beautifully again 👏
