Crumbling Mask ... 4.10

Yesterday I was expecting the worse to happen, and then today we're back to comedy and cuteness. Let's face it, Shivaay is no longer that guy who is heartless, cold and ruthless like he used to be. How much he tries to be, he just cannot.

( trying to avoid the weird feeling I'm getting with the new ruthless borderline sociopath enigma Abhay that has planted himself in the mansion)

Shivaay just cannot be that old Shark who is capable of pushing Annika out in the cold for the sake of family. His facade is tearing like crunchy old newspaper with the sound effects..

Annika poked so many holes in his memory loss , I'm surprised he just didn't dissolve in apology right there... hahaha...😆 she and Dadi had a lot of fun driving the man up the wall. I lost count of how many times I repeated the whole scene.. LOL. ROFL. LMAO . Sab...🤣

Annika started attacking the acts he did to show how much he cared, the vows, staying in her old house (without a single complaint, Shivaay would jump to add... hahahah ) , and THE RING.

" Kanjoos? Me???" ... Hahaha his outraged balking was so funny. Also the running commentary of denials as she listed all the fakery of his much thought out prized wedding ring for her. His jumpy irritation and bakbak was just too entertaining. He is no longer the mean old SSO, not for Annika. This act is failing badly. Doesn't help that Annika is no wallflower to slink away sadly in rejection.

The man sat there, pretending to work as she negotiated a deal for her fake " Hrithik Roshan of glass stone rings" in exchange for a dinner set!! The obvious michmichis of the idea of the home salesman even touching his wife's ring made him climb over the furniture to get to it first.. so cute this Billu... 😆

No one is buying the act, even Om blew a big hole in it by making him recall Gauri. But this Tanya appears always to stop things, as though she is always about listening and skulking. Creepy. She looks quite vacant, I can't make her out if she's just a minion of someone else or a victim out for revenge with half hearted villainy. Gameplan? She looks like a kid?? Is she Abhay's baby sister of something?

Abhay though, is getting more and more interesting. I was telling you guys he seems like the old SSO, or he's trying really hard to be that. Handling the house singlehandedly, like Shivaay would. Fixing brothers' problems for them, , making them go away in his weirdly dangerous methods. That land deal he fixed for Shivaay, by ruining the Oberoi image with thuggery is going to turn out dangerous. He has not introduced himself by name to anyone involved, just that Shivaay is his brother. Om mentioning that Rudy made the land deal made me suspicious, is Abhay framing Rudy, or will resent him for getting the credit??

And Bhavya's sudden suspension for bribery feels like another of Abhay's avenging tricks. Btw, who is that S he spray painted on the famous painting?

And Om ... Wow.. what a visual delight seeing him in jealous form. There was fire coming out of his eyes. Poor Gauri is coming to say she loves him and he's about to make the roof fall on her head with his suspicions. Looking forward to an amazing heartbreaking angsty scene. Can't wait to see where it goes.

Edit: the raaz bit went missing.

All the senior Oberois are summoned to Kalyani Mills at night and they soon begin their blame games. They all look equally guilty for a fire killed many people in the factory fire. Greed and cheating? That cassette tape indicates someone close to them knows this. But who called them THERE?

Is this Shivaay trying to find the culprit? Or a new old enemy? Or Abhay?
