Anika walked towards Shivaay with pink coating her palms, her eyes searching for him desperately and drinking his presence in when she came across him in the great hall that was bathed in pristine white sunlight, surrounding them with brightness. He was in front of her and she wanted to wish him with all her heart, Holi greetings and apply color to him. She drew near him and gently caressed his cheeks, coloring first one cheek and then the other with pink, the color of her love for him.
Shivaay was mesmerized by her actions and her beauty, basking in her attentions, wishing her Happy Holi. Only to be chided by Anika for not saying it with color. Not to be left behind, he grasped her arm, drew her close, so close that only a hair's breadth separated them. Anika's heart was racing madly, craving his embrace when he slowly bent and brushed his cheek against her softness, his beard gently grazing hers, bathing her cheeks with color of his love. This was such a beautiful scene.
Both of them holding onto each other hands, gazing into each other's eyes deeply, drawing still closer, till their foreheads touched with Shivika wishing each other Holi was just icing on the cake. Both of them are affected by the other's nearness, with passion raging and longing on the rise.
Anika wants his touch, is comfortable with it and is on the way to taking their marriage a step further. Shivaay too touches her more frequently and called his wife, his FAMILY. She is everything to him now. His family was everything for him and he would go to any extent for their sake. Now that word encompasses Anika and she has become his strength, his support, his friend, his wife, his ALL.
Their hug was tight and both content, at peace in each other's arms. The teasing and the blush from Anika was well done. Her tears of joy at holding him in her arms and finding him safe was well done by SC. Her reluctance to let go of him, to stay apart from him was like tearing her own limb but sense and Shivaay's presence assailed her fears, nodding to find the culprit responsible for their current troubles. Shivaay's touch is getting more bolder by the day, easing his skittish wife into the intimacies of their marriage. Getting Anika attuned to his touch and fracturing her senses along with her breath.
Secretly meeting each other, stealing moments to be together, united in their efforts to protect their family, fiercely guarding their privacy, that is Shivika whose Ishqbaazi has begun in earnest.
wanted to pen my thoughts after watching the episode, was floored by NM especially doing the double act. The NKK is rearing its ugly head and going to shatter Shivaay's illusions on the subject. A twist of birth/fate is all that divides him from Mahi.
Shivika and Rudy are back in full form. Bring it on.
