And he finally heard it.!!
"I Love You Shivaay she said it and he heard it.
What a brilliant episode number to choose- 365 ! One year to HEAR "I Love You!
Quiet evident why I say hear than say! She had said it before but he heard it only now. And I m happy he din't hear the first two times..! Because he had to know her and accept her completely to know it.
The scene couldn't have got better. The WATER in background witnessing their love ever since the first spark( the first pool scene).

The highlight was-
Both were lay flat facing opposite sides. Symbolising how different the two are and yet how they fit perfectly together. The first two times Anika said "Main aapse pyaar karti hoon They were never on level! In first Shivaay was almost lifeless in her arms and in the second he was leaning on her shoulder almost unconscious.

The first It was Anika's fear of losing him that made her "Dil ki baat to come out in the open.
The second - It was her insecurity regarding SHivaay- that he will break.
But here, Our Anika has fought her insecurity & fear- of losing him and losing to her " 2 rupees kismat after all he has promised to give her all the happiness of the world, make her life a fairy-tale. So here she fought and took the first step to that.
"I Love You Shivaay!
She didn't hesitate or shy away or blush. She said it with all the Tadi and style reflecting his style.
😳
And the Ishqbaaaz went out of character into becoming a shy-blushy-Anika. It was to come for sure. "Pal mein tola pal mein masha!
He must be the Tadibaaz passionate Baagad Billa-Shivaay Singh Oberoi In the open to the world, but when he is in her world with just her, he is Shivaay! Just Shivaay! The Billuji!
And Mr. Delicate Singh Oberoi is all touchy by Anika's bold Ishqbaaaz avatar- Kyun ji hain naa Takkar Ki Ishqbaaaz?
Of course he has his own set of thoughts, beliefs assumptions in head. The immense happiness that overflowed "It's a BIG THING SHE---LOVES-----ME..!
He means her world. Despite the past! He couldn't even tell her how happy he was. And all he could say was "Thank You Something that comes from deep within his heart. "Thank You for coming to my life. "Thank You for Loving me despite everything. "Thank You for making me feel the most loved and special person. "Thank You.
That one "Thank You spoke volumes...
When it comes to expressing love, he has always believed in actions more.
The episode also reminded me of the "Aww. He gave in response to her her bhaari-bhaari baatein.
"Billu Ji Ki Ghanti Baji,
Billu Ji Ki Anika Jab Ishqbaaaz Bani!
Brilliant Episode..! Loved it..!❤️
The separation track gave the best outcome ever! Be it NKK or Trust for Shivaay, Be it Fear or Insecurity for Anika!
# Dil Bole Ishqbaaaz.
So
How will Shivaay say it? "Mallika's bangles! + Khidkitod Anika, tumne mujhe Ishqbaaz bana diya hai!
He loves her hands, that's enough hint!??
Note to the readers of my fics :-
Exams starting (Ishqbaaz always becomes MORE interesting when I have them)😕
