My life meant nothing much, did it?
For a moment, I thought it did.
He told me to be myself. Who else was I before that?
Did he imply that the person I was when I was terrified for him and his family, was not real? That my only identity implied a static relationship with Sahil?
I thought when he held me, that I meant more than someone who could be a headache; like my aches could be manipulated into happy, futuristic adjustments. Unfortunately, those do not involve murderous databanks. At this point, there are rarely any persons who would remain loyal; as it is, she wipes her tears, blinks the salt away, and waits.

I see him as mine,
as he lowers his head to my temple,
my wounded lips seek his heart
and as we meet,
there is an ache
of words and sounds,
looks and aches:
He is mine now,
as I am his

Res! Back after I read it!
UnRes:

Hi, my love! Ah, man, I loved the scene today. It was beautifully, poignantly done! And yes, just like you, more than the kiss, it was her expression on this statement that he voiced that cut at me. I loved what you wrote! Your words describe Anika's despair and confusion completely really. And so I can't help but respond...

Hope is so painful. Isn't it just? For in that one single moment when his words resonated in her ears, she felt herself, both, bloom and break. Bloom at the pain of having something in common with the beautiful man who sat in front of her. Break at the sheer infinite possibilities of his words.
But though she had known how painful hope can be, she had still somehow managed to underestimate the potency of this particular agony. Curious, isn't it, how even a life time of pain cannot show one the various faces of it? For she had never seen nor felt the spark of the pain the burned within her now.
This pain, it was new. Different. More powerful. And somehow... more captivating. Was that even possible? She hadn't thought so. And yet here she was, being proven wrong. Again.
What else is new when it comes to this man, she thought sardonically.
So yeah. This pain was new. She just didn't know whether she welcomed this one or not. Rationally speaking, she thought after he had left, she should welcome it. For didn't his words simply confirm what she already knew? He had said nothing but that which was already aware of. He could never care for her. At least not in the way she had unfortunately started to dream he would.
She was nothing to him and would never be. Nothing but a compromise he had forced upon himself during dire circumstances. An obligation he had been emotionally blackmailed into tolerating for the next six months.
She was nothing. Nothing...
Then why did do that? Why did he kiss her? Why was he always there to comfort her even when she didn't wish for him to do so? Why was he always there? Especially when she didn't want him to be there?...
Liar, her heart yelled at her. You always wish for him to be there... around you... surrounding you...
Startled, she sat up straight and chuckled, shaking her head as a few more tears escaped.
She had started to lie to herself now. Looks like he was beginning to rub off on her.
It's true isn't it? Unknowingly, we become the people we can't seem to hate but are vary to love...

Love,
A.C.

Lovely post Geet as always... who was Anika before Shivaay came into her life like a storm blowing her away.. with his magnetism and charisma and arrogance, who tried to destroy her but failed... and then succeeded by giving her a price of 15 lacs.

She was not yet broken after the wedding but shattered when she heard the accusation... gathered the tattered remnants of her self respect and put herself back together for Sahil's sake as he was her one weakness. Now she had another... Shivaay himself who she is afraid of losing even before gaining his love. They do have trust, friendship and the soul connect that makes them restless if they do not see each other.

The private world that they are living in has been interrupted by Tia and Pinky, exposing her when she is at her weakest. When he held her head gently and kissed her, cherished her.. she felt protected and safe.. with her breath on his heart... that surely beats for Anika and no one else. It was a stunning visual to see them... breaths hitched... and eyes closed..savoring the embrace... even if it was fleeting.

Anika is now his sounding board.. he does share moments with his brothers... and it is not the same... chats by the poolside/breakfast all the Obros keeping secrets from the other.

He is mine now,
as I am his

such lovely words... for a second when he said he is feeling the same as her..hope sprang and joy bloomed.. in her... only to crash seconds later when he said he was worried about the attacks.. her foolish heart... she knows all too well the reality and despite all that... she said she had to be strong to resist the weakness that her love for Shivaay has turned into. She is going to try and fight it... but when he turns into her savior then she is going to crumble and get broken when it is all over.

Geetu love,
You always have such a beautiful way with words and now somehow I am at a loss for mine after reading yours but still, will try to make some sense!!
I too loved that poignant moment that Ani and Shivaay shared yesterday, even though Shivaay didn't manage to quite understand what exactly Ani was going through.
She , expressing her fears of having fallen in love with a man like him and worrying that whatever outcome that this love might possibly have, she will end up being opened up to a chasm of hurt. Him thinking that her life has now become complicated and that she is distraught after dealing with danger and near-to-death experiences on a daily basis!!

The moment he says I feel the same way too...you can see her, for just a second, almost daring to hope that he has solved the riddles that she is speaking in and the next second , he shatters her illusions of having understood her feelings and talks to her about the death traps that they have overcome recently!!

But she vows to become stronger, she picks her self up a little bit, wipes away her tears, almost chides herself for being weak when he walks away, till he comes and gives her that assurance of love and affection with that kiss on her forehead!! something moved in me at the way she looks at him in that scene!! The walls that she had erected to keep him away come down, her resolutions to stop loving him, everything goes flying out the window with that kiss!! You were so right there, she does indeed become his!!

Thank you darling! I am so so sorry for responding to this so late!

What you've written, it's beautiful, captures shades I didn't even know existed!😳
The dual nature of their relationship, and the way they refract each others' personalities along with words, the way their hearts still beat as one even when they are on opposite sides of a debate, it just gives their relationship a complexity that goes beyond the usual 'hate you but I love you' relationship. I love that about them, that it takes a split second for the tables to be turned.

Anika, she might just accept this pain as the only kind of love she will receive from Shivaay, but the fact is that she does not want the vulnerability that comes with loving a man who can never love her back (or so she thinks) and in the next second, there he is, helping her, easing her pain, holding her, like he can't bear it anymore, and she's lost in HIS feelings for her. An embrace that goes beyond the consolatory, an embrace that has in it, so much possessiveness, a want, a thirst to BE, to HOLD, to LOVE, even though it wounds as it holds, it burns as it cools, and ends while it lasts

Thanks Nim!
It truly was brutal when her hope crashed, her face and her heart just fell.
And I so agree with you! Their private world has transformed both of them so much, and she's closer, she shares his responsibilities towards his family, along with trying her best to keep him safe, while he does the same for her. Truly partners against crime, and yet, these interruptions just widen the chasm between them, and fall they both will, through it, but together.
It's just a complex situation right now in terms of the feelings churning within them, isn't it?
Kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha dono ko. Ab samajh ke kar bhi nahi sakte kuch.
But then, the night is darkest before the day arrives, so I'm hoping they'll get through this with only faint scars, and not irrevocable damages

Thank you Anu🤗

@bold: I love this! I saw it too, the way everything fell away for her in that moment, everything, including her own hope. she was lost in him, in loving him. And as painful as that might be, I'm glad she had that, because this was the closest to fulfilment she can ever reach: loving someone so completely and being completely vulnerable to feelings AND them.
