@13th - Exactly ,that was the moment for me tbh, the resignation , he sort of accepted that she is going to leave him . He didn't protest, for a moment I thought , he was going to the same dark place where he has turned away his emotions when it comes to his parents - it was like switch off , but that is why these two can never be separated- fate keep throwing them back at each other. The moment she steps out, he faints, this hand thing is more of a catalyst that binds them again.
Even when he broke up with her Musicana night, it was so many incidents , him falling down , Cabir's thing which kept on keeping them together vested. But this time it will be different , Manik seems to have given up , he is not expecting , hence it will be Nandini taking that 1st step towards them.
But her tears, his blood!
