ShivIka/NaRbhi AT#315: 'Apni hi jaan bacha rha hun Annika'

This is the story of the Bagar Billa and his Paanika😆, how they met, how they clashed against each, how their lives were entwined and how they became Shivika, our Shivika

So here is the start of their epic journey, where two people met in a mandir and their lives took a turn for the best or maybe the worst- this will depend on their journey😆 which is still ongoing. But whatever the outcome, the most beautiful will always be their journey😳

From being slapped with a bundle of money by the great Shivaay Singh Oberoi, and a similar counteract by the spunky Annika, sirf Annika mind you😎- met two bullheads ( as we fans lovingly calling them this)- windshields were broken, egos were broken and MMS was made😆

In a state of anger from SSO's side and triumph from Annika's, both went their separate way wishing to never ever see each other, but when has fate ever listened to such stupidly idiotic human beings!😆

Through a chain of events, their pathways crossed gazillion of times and everything went flying around them, water being the most frequently used...😳

From indifference to ego issues to anger due to misunderstandings because a leaked clip and a brother's broken state, SSO went on a destruction path for the bechari Annika. But, yes with a big BUT, she was no simple person, not easily bendable, not easily crushed and she gave back to him equally.

In a battle of egos between these two titans, finally she was broken and she fell down with heavens crying with her too that day. He thought he had won and had put a price on her honesty and principles, but like a phoenix she arose from her ashes and did a complete checkmate to the Bagar Billa... who for the first time ever lost to a common girl called Annika😆

With a play of twist, or should we say Dadi the ishqbaaaz, Annika was brought as his wedding planner. The more he ran away, the more she was there infront of him. But he was the great SSO, and he had never learnt to lose, so he maintained his stance and anger towards her till finally one day something changed between them.

She had almost lost her life in his house, and he for the first time was scared for a person outside of his family. Another big first for him.

From then on just like a river flows down its pathway, their story flowed not smoothly at all, with lots of bumps in between. Sometimes anger when he thought that she went against his decision for his sister, to firing her and finally apologizing to her when the truth was revealed- this was again another first for him. He actually managed to say "Sorry without any hesitation this time😆.

But but if one thinks that everything went on smoothly between them, then not at all😆... Thanks to medicines, the inner wishes of SSO, who were dormant, came out and he opened about his wishes to be with her despite not understanding why. How can the SSO fall or be attracted to a small middle class girl like Annika? He the great SSO for whome Naam, Khoon and Khandaan was everything was falling for a girl like Annika?! Ho hi nahin sakta! Never!😆

So in an attempt to run away from her and his feelings, he went and proposed Tia. From then on it was a battle of inner feelings and wishes, both being drawn to each other but unable to do anything. She tried to save him from Tia and he unfortunately was cheated into thinking the worst of her by Daksh.

His anger at her having broken his illusion about her innocence and goodness, and then with a cruel hand of fate, he forced her for a one day wedding, completely crushing her self-respect in this. But was marriage a game? Could the great SSO really control fate and time like this? Not at all, and he learnt it the harsh way, his brothers exposing the truth about Annika and about forced wedding, and his Dadi wanting Annika to stay back. Still he resisted, after all Annika had cheated him with Daksh. But like they say, truth will always emerge one day in its full glory. The truth about Daksh soon came forward, and the SSO completely broke down that day for misjudging his Annika.

He saved her from the clutches of Daksh, and then he apologized to her in the sweetest way by letting her break his windshield willingly and then recording his "SORRYs". One would think that then their life would have been easier then?😆 Not at all, then came Tia with her fake pregnancy. Again through another game of wits, they exposed Tia infront of the whole family. Not ignoring that in between this they grew closer and closer and closer.😳

Still SSO couldn't find the words to accept Annika as his wife, and then entered the big bad Daksh again. Her virtue at stake and this was something no one had the right to do his Annika. Infront of his family, the media and society he claimed her as his legally wedded wife finally in a very dramatic way.

But before things could advance more and the love could finally blossom😳, more villains entered ( well yep it's a story and no love story runs smoothly, we unfortunately have to deal with villains and villains and villains- sad story of a shivika fan's lives) Shivaay Singh Oberoi was kidnapped and in its place came Mahi. Mahi on its own didn't present any real danger, but without her knowing Annika was walking directly into a hole dug by Pinky. 😡🥱

While on one side Shivaay was finally falling in love with his wife, with Annika having already accepted her feelings for Shivaay since long now, elsewhere Pinky had already laid down her evil plans and tic toc tic toc the time of these two cute lovers' separation drew near.

Shivaay Singh Oberoi's Naam Khoon Khandaan, the very basis of his identity, was challenged by the one and only Pinky and the price to pay to maintain Shivaay's NKK was Annika going away from him by insulting him and forcing him to throw her out of the house. Did she falter in this? Yes a lot😭. Was she broken when breaking him? Definitely a yes to this too.😭

Two lovers were broken and separated on that one eventful day. They had both signed on the divorce papers breaking the much cherished bond between them. ( and in meantime broke the hearts of all fans😭)

Then three months later, both met again thanks to fate again. SSO completely changed and indifferent to things in his life, while Annika was trying to live somehow. She couldn't return because she couldn't tell him the truth, while he could never forgive her for what she did that day when she broke his trust in her. Hopefully, two cupids were here and were crying seeing these two broken souls like this. They intervened and brought back their Bhabhi back to the Oberoi Mansion in an attempt to bring back the old Shivaay Singh Oberoi.😭

As it's usual in this ishqbaaazi ka safar, villains were plenty from pinky to Ragini. One was obsessed with his son, the other was obsessed with SSO's personality. In summary both were psychotic mental people😆. But irrespective of them, Shivaay couldn't bring himself to forgive Annika, despite he actually liked that she was finally back infront of him in his house😳. Despite several attempts by Omru, SSO was still not willing to forgive Annika that one mistake. For him everything was over because Annika had tried to hurt his brothers and also broke his heart.

Like they say, fate sometimes likes to play its own games with us silly human beings. One day out of the blue, with Tia as an angel( I know she's coming back as vamp, but hey then she was an angel for all shivika fans😉) the big sacrifice by Annika was brought forward infront of SSO.😳

From then on nothing would stop SSO, he knew his Annika was forced into leaving him. However somewhere it hurt that she didn't trust their relationship and him. It hurt that she hid things from him and did all these things to force him to throw her out. So for him, knowing the reasons were the most important. He couldn't have her being blackmailed again and leaving him, so he went on a rampage to find the truth almost forcing Annika into a wedding with a fake fiance.

While he wanted to know the truth, she was hell bent into hiding the truth from him. In her eyes, NKK was everything for him, so how could she take that away from him. And in a final clash of egos, lots of misunderstandings and each trying to safeguard each other in their own twisted way, Annika was almost cornered into a wedding and kidnapped for another forced wedding with the wrong guy.

But how can someone dare hurt his Annika while he was present? In a comic scenario, everyone went with him to save his ex-wife( who never was his ex-wife by the way😆) He put aside truth for her, he chose her over the truth. He couldn't lose her, so he decided to find the truth in another way. And who can win against Shark Singh Oberoi, he literally played Annika, his brothers and finally his mother to get the truth out.😳

Being called illegitimate by his own mother, his own mother having forced his wife away from him... the truth lay infront of his eyes hurting him that day. his whole life was like a question mark for him? His mother having finally destroyed the remaining notions( or mostly shadows left) of NKK inside of him. And the Shivaay Singh Oberoi finally became Annika's Shivaay.

Down on one knee, he proposed to her again because his Annika deserved his respect, love and all the happiness he could give her. Both promised to each other that nothing could separate them ever. In another round of nok jhoks, ILU was finally said by Annika first, but instead of saying ILU back, SSO went into Shy Singh Oberoi mode😆. Not that he didn't love, he loved her as hell... she was his heart, life and his very reason to breathe. He just was shy😆

And then we had the second wedding of Shivika, whereby SSO tried to give Annika all the happiness and the perfect wedding she deserved.

Nope don't go away😆😛, they didn't live happily exactly after all this, so keep on reading... on the wedding night itself, the only consistent thing in Ishqbaaaz happened, the great Shivaay Singh Oberoi was again blackmailed and oops he left his wife on the wedding night itself😆.

After a lapse of around 2 weeks, SSO returned back with a new fake trophy wife and claimed to have completely forgotten his Annika. But his Annika was too sharp and could see behind his fake acting. It took her only one day to get the truth out of SSO and both decided to deal with the fake wife. After few cute scenes of karva chauth, funny plane sequences and almost NDE of Annika, finally at the end of this track the fake wife disappeared by herself.😆 (Yep some fans are still shocked 😆)

So finally Annika was back as the only real and legal Mrs Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Her cute Singh Oberoi finally also managed to say the most awaited words ever, that is ILU to her. with the grace of the CVs and especially the writer, finally Shivika had the most wonderfully beautifully acted first time ever in history, where they became one soul finally in a sequence of laal ishq in background😳

If you people are thinking that they are living happily now😆, well this is the crux of IBs, what's a story without villains, lots of villains actually😆. More raitas coming our way, and let's see how shivika emerge victorious through each phase of their lives now.
