Oh, my, my.
What an episode🥳
I swear I am still blushing😳
The first scene began on a sombre note where Anika is still in Shivaay's arms: I am glad they took a turn from the melancholy of Anika's crying to the poignancy that I like best about them. Shivaay's gentle nod and his soft "Anikaaa...", that tenderly chided her for crying while at the same time comforting her was so soothing!
And I loved Anika's awkwardness at Shivaay's physical proximity, perhaps this is the most close they ever have been, physically. The way she clutched her kurta and tried to dissuade the talk and ran away...it did seem like she had recognised the heat that had crept in😳...and Shivaay gently cornering her, asking, "Are you embarrassed?"...was really sweet.❤️
For once I am glad that Shivaay conceded how hard he is trying and that he cannot change in a fortnight. This honesty makes it more endearing, in a way. And Anika saying she will remain, "Sirf Anika" in reply.
The hug was another highlight, and I am glad they didn't make it reductive- though he is clutching her close, his worry is also writ large on his face.
And the trademark flash of light at the end of their scene, signalling light at the end of the tunnel (?).

The second scene with them lying side by side and Shivaay ruminating about what she had told him of her past and lack of identity, and affirming to himself that he will never let this serenity, "sukoon", fade from her face was equally poignant.👏
I do wish they had extended the moment a bit though. Poor Shivaay is then kicked out of bed TWICE by Anika, snatching his own "sukoon" in the process😆
I loved how he curled up towards her, looking at her face the second time as well. I did like their banter in this scene, bahut married couple wala vibes tha:D Priyanka Chopra ke figure mein Dara Singh ka DUM. ROFL.
And that smooch...HAILA!😲😲😲 His cheapdi, two rupee avatar is certainly surprising :P He looked so WICKED here.☺️
And it did seem as if he was trying to dispel the tension by going back to their status quo. Really endearing.😳
My only advice to Shivaay would be to get over these hand wrestling games and proceed to the real game...and he does seem ready for it. *UFF* That bedroom voice, "Bahut takat hai na tum mein..." ☺️, the caress, the intense staring...very sensuous. Really liked the playfulness of this scene. *Nazar na lage*And when their foreheads meet in unison... I also loved how his face was in the shadows...it gave him such a devious air, and added to the lurking passion.☺️
