Earlier this day I was thinking about how ShiVi romance would play out for the rest of the show (feel free to disagree with me as I thought up of this while I was buying bread š) I'll start with this trauma as I wished it had been addressed more appropriately.
Beginning right after Rishita saves them and gets them all on the tractor, I wish we had a broody Shiva glancing moodily over at Raavi, wondering why he felt so worked up over her words and wondering whether she trusted him or continued to feel as though he was untrustworthy. After this, I imagine Shiva to wish GauRa was with him as every answer is clear as day when GauRa are around. I wish Shiva wasn't so proud whenever Raavi supports GauRa (but that probably stems more from the fact that I am not liking GauRa anymore), but after witnessing Dhara almost leaving the family, I would've hoped we had gotten a broody session of Shiva contemplating on what his life would be without Raavi and thinking back to the day when Raavi received the chance to leave him but didn't. Shiva can even wonder whether Raavi would make the same decision today as he failed to save her (Rishita ultimately did).
And then after having a long discussion at night over what happened, I would've hoped to see ShiVi discuss the future of their relationship. I'm a little sadistic, so I'm wishing Shiva point blank here says, "I'm not interested in being romantic with you. We're together for my family's sake." And Raavi looking over to Shiva, half contemplative and half saddened by his words.
You're right. I don't want ShiVi becoming GauRa. I don't want to see the blushing bride and the husband always initiating the romance. I want to see Raavi being in charge of the relationship. Working on each and every single one of Shiva's insecurities, one by one. I want her to teach Shiva that it is okay to be expressive. That it is okay to have vulnerabilities. That his flaws make him stronger, not weaker. I want her to shower the love initially and for Shiva, when he is ready, to amplify those feelings 100 fold.
I'm never one for easy romance. The easier the romance, the less meaningful each scene becomes. Though, I am all for slow burn. Raavi and Shiva should become best friends and close confidants before becoming lovers!
