Trust for them means the same thing, explicit and one which comes with no questions. Right now even nandu trusts Manik and vice-versa. The problem is not that they don't trust each other enough or their abilities to handle things but Nandini's problem and to certain extent she is right, is with lack of trust in what they share. How can she when they both are struggling to understand it or name it. Like she said today, it's not about them individually but as us. Will their ideological differences push them further . For her she feels they are never able to remove the "Is" from their "us" equation. They fail to see or think of each other as a unit. They both are making decisions for both of them without thinking about another. This is their problem. Nandini feels they can never be able to work around it.She has been vocal about the absence of "we" and "us",all this while.
We'll have to disagree here.🤣 I find their trust rather very fragile. I also find Nandini's trust at a middle stage where it concerns Manik. Also, Manik asks for trust implicitly. He wants you to trust him and believe him even when his words are total opposite. And when you take him for facevalue he's heart because is that what trust is? Believing the words? believing whatever i say? what about what I don't? Don't you know me enough to catch my lies? and that's where the problem comes. Nandini doesn't know him enough, to trust him so so implicitly. Also, when she thought he was going to kill Harshad. Trust doesn't builds so easily, it takes a lot of time. And sometimes it's not trust that you need for the restart of a relationship. Of course you need trust, I mean, it's essential, but more than trust, and combined with trust, is hope and belief. They both are more alike than different. Nandini is just like Manik is. both two sides of a same coin but still with baser values, different from one another.Both of them don't know what love is. They are teens , havn't experienced this surge of emotions and it is unfair to expect them to understand the depth of it.If Manik has never thought that love could happen to him or understand what it feels to be in love or loving someone. Nandini have a very idealistic , fairy-tale notion of love. For her it's what her mother told her, that love is all light , happiness and burst of bliss. She believes that this love is everything.Once Manik told Cabir that one cannot leave love incomplete ever , this is exactly what happened to Nandini. She was all willing to share her version of love with Manik and express it to him , but what happened , he walked away , left it incomplete. Shattering all that she believed in love.Her idea of love was broken. The one she has been holding close to her for years , since her mother left.This hurt, this pain , she never knew that it is part of love too.So she too like Manik doesn't realize what love truly is. They cannot because this is all consuming, all evolving and keeps changing.She just feels that something as pious, as beautiful as love can hurt this much. Hence she is like, is it even worth it? She cannot build the hopes of true love under the shadows of fear that all this can go down to dust in any second.
^^ Oh man <33 totally agree with whatever you said. That made me rethink too <33 I also understand but somewhere I wanted more than the pain. I wanted the understanding and the reflection of what went wrong to shine through. Like i'd been so badly waiting for her to tell him why not except the that they're not right for one another. I'd like to think that both of them, in a way, have come far far beyond that point. That her reasons should've been more vocal for Manik to have understood. She, instead, blamed herself for his condition and the toxicity of their relationship. TOTALLY understand it, but don't agree with it in a way.Yes Manik needs her because he is rash, brash and needs her light to guide him through darkness. But Nandini doesn't know that right? For her he was better of, happy and SAFE with his fab5 before they collided with each other. They didn't cry or get hurt like this. She doesn't know the significance of her presence in his life because he hasn't told her what she means to him. All he expects from her is to be near him, shine him but never tells her why does he want it. Not his fault , because he is himself so unaware.But whenever he is around her , every belief she had since her childhood is shattering. His presence, the hurt he gives keeps on contradicting with what her mother told her.What she believed in. Her struggle is as real as his ignorance .
You're so right. Like I said also, manik has hurt her way more than he's given her. He's no right to ask her for forgiveness just like that and have it too. There are lessons to be learnt. But isn't that how manik has always been? Woh toh hai hi aisa and he'll always be like that. I'm not going to say Manik was wrong when he gave up Nandini. He wasn't in his own way and neither is Nandu but where Nandu is more positive and where Nandini knows the power of love, of care, of forgiveness, Manik doesn't. he's unaware, he's still a little kid and all of this is too alien for him. My concern isn't exactly the legitimacy of her decision. it's will it prove to be what she wants it to be? will it prove to benefit manik at all? or nandini? never. Manik will shut himself in his cocoon of ego and anger and be the man he is (I LOVE MY MONSTER MANIK VERY STRONGLY BTW.😳 I'VE WAITED AGES AND IM SO EXCITEDD!!🤣🤣) and be all rash and insensible. Only she can make him want to be a better person because she's the one who breaks through his give and take faith and the one who inspires him and the only person he's willing to let closer. It's not a lot but for him it's a huge step. So, yes I totally understand Nandu but I still somewhere do not exactly agree with her decision. because being apart from Manik won't heal him, being with him would.They don't know the "why" behind this feelings and what they brought to their relationship. Hence for Nandini it's always been tears and pain. And for him, it's all about her Alvida.These kids don't understand the depth of what they share hence their lack of trust.As much as we know why they are essential for each other , they don't . This is why I want this track to make them realize their importance ans reflect why it's anything but toxic.Manik needs to understand that it's not her care only but love for him that makes her worry and cry. He needs to realize why he needs her around too , why he listens to her all the time and also what he brings to her heart?
And that what worries him. Without her to show him the side of love which is not ugly and worth all the chances in the world, will he see it? he hasn't, not for so so long, not when he was the one to let go of her for Dhruv. To make him believe in not just the existence but the beauty of something, maybe, maybe he needs her to show it to him.Nandini on the other hand needs to embrace that pain is part of love. That trust in a relationship is a continuous process and it can only be build by constant failures and successes. She has to understand that one cannot give up on love .Ever.If Nandu today stays with him because he will destroy himself then that is toxic and unhealthy. It is putting condition on their unconditional . She will always suffer from saviour complex and be all guilty in their relationship while Manik will never realize what he is making her accept.Nandu raised a very good point , Manik self-destructs , he doesn't value himself . How can she trust her heart with someone who doesn't care for himself? Doesn't he realize that him being careful for himself is what she wants. She doesn't want to be the conditions apply on his behaviour. It will be mollycoddling a baby Manik who refuses to grow up.
I didn't want her to be there out of coercion, neither as his gf, neither to confess her love. I just wanted her not to break off things right that moment, when he wasn't exactly in the best of shape, when he needed her so badly, and when she knew how rash he recently had been. But do you think her being apart will teach him that? to take care of himself? that added isolation and hurt and pain, one on another? i think it's mostly trust. they've to trust enough in each other and what they share to give it another chance, or maybe hope. I did understand her, even if I somewhat didn't agree but you managed to clear so much of my frustration GENIEE <3I support both of them , because they are young and they are discussing , feeling those emotions which are usually candy wrapped. I liked their equation today, the pathos of realizing that they are away and missing each other is what should be the first precursor to their realization.
^ I agree. Though I think Nandini already realizes. I'm a little doubtful about Manik's realization with them being this apart, but we've abhimanyu for that.🤣🤣🤣 and cabir and nandu, of course.🤣🤣🤣
