Oh how I wish this could have happened. I love that you didn't give us their words, didn't have us intrude. Let them keep that moment precious and theirs. We just get the aftermath- the peace and the happiness of their surrender and their honesty.
Shivaay's happiness... the happiness of everyone around him. It had me smiling and my heart leaping with joy... and then sinking in misery as I remembered what's happening in the actual show.
Beautifully written and so powerful, as always. Honestly, how is literally EVERYTHING you write gold? 😆
--------
There is one thing I will give them and that is that their misunderstandings aren't because they haven't tried to communicate with one another- almost every time, Shivaay or Anika have tried to discuss the situation and they've just been misinterpreting what the other is asking/ trying to say. I say almost because I wonder why Shivaay didn't tell Anika about Daksh's "challenge"? I get that it's to drive the story forward, but maybe it's because part of him is terrified that she would tell him she wants to stay with Daksh and ask who he is to interfere or tell her that she can't.
For this reason, I hope I HOPE that Shivaay marries Anika not because he thinks she's bad but because he needs to protect her. I can understand him being pissed at fate forcing his hand in this way... but for him to be angry at Anika? For no fault of her own. Over a misunderstanding... Over and over and over Anika has proved who and what she is to Shivaay and for him to marry her because he still thinks she's nefarious would destroy me. And her. I hope the reason doesn't break my heart or Anika's any more than it's already broken after such an emotionally exhausting week of episodes.
That all said, I can understand why Shivaay did what he did in the show- he has nothing to offer Anika if she leaves Daksh. If she leaves Daksh because of him then he knows he will have nothing but guilt as he lets Anika lose the best possible future she had a chance of without him. He loses the chance to keep her in his life through his best friend.
I don't know if you've ever heard the Hamilton soundtrack, but Shivaay and Anika give me the same incredibly painful feelings I get every time I listen to Satisfied. Giving each other up for reasons of family and honour and duty.

Almost everything Angelica says to herself could be Shivaay's internal monologue as to why he's giving up Anika.
P.S. Have you demanded payment for the Robin and Tia are married idea btw? 😆 NotW came out a good few months ago, no?
