Do you remember the torturous weeks of the forced marriage? The two weeks when a few members of the forum watched the show, while the rest of us only read written updates? We waited with baited breaths that the misunderstanding would be cleared and Shivaay would regret his actions.
But all we got was a Sorry' and everything was forgiven.
I really liked the one scene where Annika reminds Shivaay of the past as a joke and he tells her to talk about anything but the past as if he couldnt bear to think about it.
You will be wondering why all of a sudden I made this post. Well, there were a few things I was hoping the cvs put a light on when they showed Annika's past
1) Remember, in the early days how Shivaay had taunted Annika of the khoon khandaan thingy? Not once but a number of times. It has just been revealed to Shivaay that Annika was an orphan with no family except him and Saahil.
I was hoping for a scene with SSO in the dark and flashbacks of the scenes where he taunted Annika with Khoon Khandaan. With fists clenched and tears of regret in his eyes, he would remember her telling him how hard it is for a child who doesn't have parents. He would shed tears, not for the lack of NKK but for the girl who has faced so much in life and for his own harsh words and the belated realization of how much they would have hurt her.
2) He just realized that Saahil isn't related to her by blood. The amount of love and sacrifice this girl has done for a brother who isn't even her blood relative should have been touching. A flashback of the marriage scene where the car blew up wouldn't have been amiss. Do you remember when she told Ranveer about the one night stand with Shivaay to save him? Shivaay couldn't take his eyes off her- She earned his love and respect that day. I wanted to see the same glint of love struck admiration in his eyes as he watched Saahil and Annika in a new light.
3) He could try to find out more about her life, the struggles that she had to face and the things she had to put up with and probably hug her when he heard about her struggles or just get angry when she told about tortures that Sundari Bua inflicted on her.
4) Annika once screamed mujhe mat maaro in her nightmare. They could show the repeat of the nightmare and she says the same lines- so they could throw some light on that aspect of her past as well.
I know, I know the track isn't over and they can show all this and more and I kept telling myself that they might be saving the track where he remembers his actions and regrets them for another track (I had hoped we would have gotten to see all this during hospital coma track which never happened).
And I hope and hope and the track never happens. It is always that Shivaay's troubles get all the attention while Annika's are just brushed off.
I'm not saying, I want SSO to go on his knees and grovel. That aint in his character but a silent regret session where he remembers every wrong thing he did and every harsh word said and just gives her a silent hug or just stares at her while she sleeps would be a treat to watch .
EDITED
Sometimes you can spend years with someone and still not know the essence of that persons character and sometimes, in one moment, you have the years worth of knowledge all at once. THIS IS THAT TIME FOR SHIVAAY.
Suddenly he knows where Annika is coming from. Her being all alone in this world and yet she having all those qualities that he admired- her honesty, her innocence, her independence, her fortitude and more importantly her unconditional love.
If Ranveer had forcibly married Prinku, he would have gone to his door-guns blazing. He should know, that Annika never had anyone to fight her battles (and that was the reason he got away with treating her the way he did, because the only person who cared that she was ill treated was an eight year old.)
And he knows that now
