Nice post!
I (like most of the audience I guess) get that Annika and Shivaay are right in what they are feeling and really need the other to take the first step to "heal" their relationship.. but this is precisely where the writers are starting to disconnect.. The status quo has dragged on too long with illogical character and dialog flips that it is no longer making any sense!
I love the myriad other bonding they are portraying as part of this process - AniRu (these two have always hit it off), Shivaay-Saahil, Shivaay-Gauri.. but the writers are really missing the point again here too.. even in his relationships with Saahil and Gauri, Shivaay needs to be the "wall" and protect them.. Here is a situation where Annika and his family made a life-changing decision for him and but the family is just expecting him to "go with the flow" and forget the incident - so it is coming across as no one really understands him! 😕
Portraying the whole scenario as Annika's "mahanthaa" of doing stuff for her loved ones is not helping at all. Annika needs to be shown as acknowledging and being in pain for having let their relationship down and causing Shivaay to completely breakdown. Also, if the entire family keeps playing up how perfect of a bahu she was, how is it going to solve Shivaay's utopian idea of their wedding having been perfect? He also needs to get the hint that she did not feel that she was part of his family - or maybe this is not part of the writer's agenda?! :)
Shivaay and Annika are or rather were extremely smart "chantomayi" types but are now stuck at the same "you've moved on" for days now. Ideally (perhaps in some OS?! 😆), Annika needs to get her self-respect back and as you said, needs to tell Shivaay that "yes I let you down but it is for a reason I cannot tell you, you'll have to ask your family but you do not get to decide when I get remarried" AND Shivaay needs to use his brain and either put together all the clues that Annika threw at him pre-separation or atleast go talk to Tia!!
I seriously hope they don't get married with the same status quo and no resolution to the whole separation! No amount of "RK scenes" or designer dresses can save the marriage if they haven't talked this out! But no mahaan expectations from writer saahiba whose arcs I do not understand anyway!
