Tum ho gham ko chupaye.

Main hoon sar ko jhukaye.

Tum bhi chup ho..

Main bhi chup hoon.

Kaun kisey samjhaye?

They say in pain lies healing. In night lies hope. Come to think of it, if there exists no night, there will be no hope.

Hope of another day. Hope for light.

For you to love someone like that, it is important for you to know what it is to love without them; for you to know the unbearable agony of not having them. For you to love someone like that, it is vital for you to know, a world without them is a world not worth living.

Manik has known what it is to be not loved. Manik has known what it is to love.

But Manik has never known what it is to love and then let go.

It is the most unbearable of agonies; a love lost, a love so ripe for the taking but given up.

She dawned upon him like a revelation; a blessing which symbolized light.

But maybe Nandini wasn't just his blessing.

Maybe she was his curse, too.

Maybe, the moment he saw her, he saw his own destruction.

His end, staring at him from the very beginning.

Maybe that's why he fought so hard and he fought so wild, to hate her, to feel nothing, to not love, to despise.

But in his endeavors of maintaining a faade, the monster didn't realize, his cape of falseness was falling apart.

Slowly.

Barely.

Rarely.

And then altogether.

She saw him for who he was.

No monster.

No leader.

An ordinary boy.

A flawed man.

A not so despicable human.

Sometimes you sit at night and count the stars. You think you've counted all the possible ones and then somehow, a glow fades in, an ivory light shimmering in the corner, and you realize, you'd never noticed that one.

Manik, is no different.

He has layers to the man he is.

He showed Nandini the monster. Nandini discovered the human.

But there, inside, is a little boy too.

Who wants her love. who doesn't want to be parted from her. Who wants the safe haven she'd promised, who wants the happiness he was deprived of, who needs her trust in all its forms, who wants to be her hero, who demands all that he was denied.

That simple boy cannot see her cry.

That simple boy cannot see her hate her fireflies.

That simple boy cannot let her believe that he was a liar.

That simple boy cannot let her believe that darkness is not a foe.

That simple boy won't let her think.

He won't let her think that every fiber of truth that defines his existence was a black lie.

He won't let her think that his depravity was a sham.

He won't let her believe.

He won't let her believe that the monster is truly, a monster.

Irredeemable.

Unforgiveable.

Inhuman.

Because that boy? He's not all that.

He can love.

He can care.

He wants to.

Hate me Nandini. Think me as the vilest of creatures. Loathe the sight of me.

For I'm all of that.

But never, never tell me I am not afraid of darkness.

Never tell me I do not like the stars.

Because, I've a soul Nandini.

I know it because it hurts every moment that is a moment apart from you.

Because I fear the darkness Nandini.

I fear it because you were my only light.

Because those stars seem so far away now my fingers simply can't reach.

Because for the first time in my life I've loved like that.

Even if I were never destined to have you.

Manik wants her to hate him. But Manik cannot bear the thought of her hatred.

Manic wants her to see him for the man he shows the world.

But he simply cannot bear the thought of her not seeing him anymore.

Manik loves Dhruv.

But he simply won't let her fireflies be his.

Those fireflies and Nandini belong to him.

He'll never let anyone else be the light to her.

Because she's only his light.

She'll always be.

Manik won't ever fall out of love.

And maybe, just maybe, he won't let her do that either.

Not without a fight.

after ages..commentin in ur posts...so good to read ur post aftr a long time...i knw its jst a week or somethin...but i already feel its been super ages i hv read ur post..!! missed ur posts..🤗🤗🤗...!!

another OUTSTANDING topic from u on our BELOVED phattu-Manik..!!

the entire last week ws FILLER...BUT all those lil moments were BUILD UP for the pent up frustration Manik is unknowingly lettin to GROW INSIDE him..😉😉...And today v saw the FIRST PHASE of hw tht frustration will come out when he told her HALF TRUTH abt alya,darkness,party..!! The more he tries hard to go away the more hes ending up more closer towards her..!! There ws NO NEED for him to EXPLAIN whts rite n whts not...He want her to hate him..!! But can Manik really let tht happen?BIG NO...And thtsy today he felt the STRONG URGE to let her knw some part of truth..!! But wht this phattu din realise then ws it ws his heart's hopeless attempt to make nandu CONNECT DOTS ki if all these were truth,then there must be somethin behind sudden change of manik..!! His heart wants her to NOT believe tht single lie n thtsy such desperate attempts to make her beleive wht she thinks abt him is NOT true..!!

But phattu for a sec DID REALISE wht phattu HE IS when he realised he ws CONTRADICTING his own statement when he blamed Raghav hvin no courage n questiond y he loved...And i LOVED HOW HE IMMEDIATELY connected Raghav to himself..for me THAT ws the BEST MOMENT of tonites epi..!! His 1st step to realization tht he CANT erase his love for Nandini ws clearly seen when he realised wht he said for Raghav fits for him too..😉😉...!!

Precap ws JHAKAAS...U GO CABIR...This is wht i wanted frm him..To confront this buddhu...And more than confrontation i really wanted SOMEONE to knw wht trauma Manik is goin thru n be there for him n also make him realise tht HIS HEART IS LOST TO NANDINI n hwevr much stunts he do he only gonna end up being more close to nandu NOT FAR..!!

Amazing post.. totally agree with u if there is no night there is no hope reminds me of something I read that we all embrace the night naturally because we know that there will be a morning and we all hope in our hearts that we will witness the new morning 😳
You described that MaNan conversation perfectly he couldn't leave it there he had to clarify that all those things were true he still wants her to think that he is not a monster.. its so simple and so complicated at the same time 😆

What should I do with Manik's heart - the wild and the tame?
The wild heart that wants to let her go , and the tame heart that wants to come home-to her. He want to be held , embraced by her love and just be with her but he doesn't want to come too close - the friendships.
He wants to scoop her up and whip away her tears, he wants to tell her everything yet he cannot. Yet he cannot.

He was the monster for her, he still is but she was the only one who peeled the mask and confronted the real him. Let him share her light and gave him the love that he has desired for long. He finally could be himself -all of it infront of her. He liked being himself , no pretense , no more hiding and no veil. But then that was all a dream, the reality of his life, the need to be the saviour. The friend who has to protect, the one who has to burn - he thought it will be possible.

But then there she was all broken , questioning everything , every happiness and every moment he shared with her- the real him. He can take her hate, he can live with his hurt but what he cannot bear is she not trusting him. He couldn't have her not trusting him. She has to know , she has to remember their moments untarnished with the great lie.

She is his light and he cannot share her. He won't be able to and now she is left with no light . She has given it all to him. Her fireflies are all his. He has seen her give up on them- the one her mother wished on her. Her tears were because of him and he has felt the hurt. She hates the fireflies and it's all his. He won't share her , he just cannot.

"The world is a contradiction; the universe a paradox." - Manik is all of that and yet he is the simple boy who loves Nandini.


Rida - You be love .👏👏👏

So beautifully written⭐️⭐️👏.

Once you have got the love you always waited for, you cannot let it go away so easily. His mind may want to walk the sacrificing path for his brother/friend but his heart is not willing to let it go. He has been in the dark for the longest to bear someones hatred even if he wanted her to hate him. Glad that he clarified some of the MUs!
