His Shining Star and The Man She Owns. - Page 2

Sheer bliss on screen...and the same while reading your post.

I've fallen in love with Manik-Nandini all over again <3

Manik Malhotra

He is just a simple boy, the one who was forced to build walls to block his real self. Be the invincible King who had to protect his friends because someone saving them, being for them was his life goal. He has no other reason to live his life. But he always stared at that dark sky surrounding him- the one that had the little shiny stars- holding a promise for him. The promise that he will be loved not for his facade but for his vulnerabilities, someone to protect and care for him. And give him the love , he is too afraid to acknowledge. It was a dream that he saw , alone , in secret but it came true when she entered his life. Buzzing her way , just like the firefly , she fought through the darkness around him to give light to that scared little boy . She shined for the vulnerable him- the one who ceased to matter among all the masks.

The more he resisted, greater was the fight she gave to him. And just like that she embraced him in her arms- shared her world, made him part of her prayers and became that shield which protected him from his own darkness. She was his wish, his prayer- hence the star.

Nandini saw him the boy who was afraid of darkness, the one who will self-destruct for his friends and the one who will gave up his life if need be for her. But she saw the debts on his soul too, the burden he carried behind the mask. She still embraced him. Because , he gave her a reason to fight for herself, became her constant and somewhere with all the masks , he was still her Manik.

She didn't want him to choose, she understands him but all she wanted was him to tell her what she is to him. Was she really shining for him or all was a delusion , her fear?

He cannot give her the promises because he thinks his life is not his but he told her that he needs her to protect him, shine for him - and just be with him because that is the only thing he ever wished. His own star.

If this is not love than what is?

Ah!! Rida - You be such love!! Manik through your words is an experience. Blessing and more love!

U've said it all so eloquently, I don't have much to add...

This post was love!

Manik Malhotra was a boy scared to love. He built walls around him out of his insecurities, of his fear arising out of his harsh childhood. People saw whatever he wanted them to see. He hid his true self from everybody, only letting his caring, protective side surface in front of his close-knit group. However, one day a tiny girl came into his life like a storm and tore through all his barriers. She saw him for who he was, she dared to challenge him and she ripped his ego into shreds. She saw through his facade and his vulnerable side called out to her. He tried to hate her, torture her, tear her down but ultimately had to bow down to her spirit and tenacity. She was nothing like any other person he encountered before. She gave him care, comfort and a shoulder to lean on, a listener, a rock, an advisor in spite of all the shit he pulled on her. He was left mesmerised by her maturity, her selflessness, her inherent goodness and her ability to pull him out of the funk. He tried to resist and boy he tried mighty hard but her willpower overrode his stubborn nature.

Under her influence, he began to trust, to love, to share, to enjoy the little pleasures of life and to open his heart once again. She became his guiding light, his star, his own personal firefly. A lot of hurdles came their way but she held on and he had to bow down to her tenacity, to her strength. To Manik, happiness means nandini, being carefree equals to nandini and smiles and laughter signifies nandini. He has come to be dependant on her for his mere existence. He can't function w/o her, he cannot see her hurt or in pain, her tears cause HIM immense grief, her smiles mean everything to him...if this isnt love, then what is? He is "unconditionally and irrevocably in love"with this little chit of a girl and that realization will come soon, maybe it has already, it's just that he is too afraid of theterm "love"to actually acknowledge it right now.

Beautifully written. I am going to start fangirling over you now :)

from my side i understood only one single thing :

"They need me but I need you" was what Manik wanted to say😳

The magic which unfolded on our screens tonight and your mesmerizing words just elevating it to another level...

Thanks dear 😊
