So yesterday, he came to her, and she sensed him before she saw him, and he was so pleased that, like him she was as attuned to him as he was. It was a simple comparison, that they were the similar.But she denied it, saying her feelings were different from his, and it kind of hurt him. Because he was looking for signs of her love for him, and she keeps putting up barriers.His face fell, and he started talking about the ache he feels when she looks into his eyes. He was being forward about his feelings now, and she kept trying to lighten the mood and evade.Then he asked outright, if she felt the same when he looked at her. She said No.What she said was that she didn't feel pain/ache when he looked at her, but she was more attuned to her feelings about him for a long while now. You can see the adoration in her eyes when she looks at him, she has internalized her love and accepted it, it isn't new (like it is for Shivaay).Call it Shivaay's realization that he loves Annika. And he is looking for her love in return. The guilt over their past is still there.The tension was thick, and she suddenly felt afraid of what she saw in Shivaay's eyes, refusing to look into his. But he didn't let her escape. The plate falling was just the effect of the leashed passion raging between them.She was running away, and he was puling her back with equal strength. Plate was the victim in between. Like a lightning strike in a stormy night , for dramatic value..😉
