Hi All,
I always maintained that , ever since Nandini walked out on Manik after his surgery, that they both love each other equally. However, the language of their love was different. Manik was all passion, and Nandini was all tenderness.
In order for them to succeed in this relationship, they had to learn, and understand how the other person loves. Nandini learnt passion, possessiveness, ownership. That is what Manik always wanted to see from her side. But, I was waiting for Manik to learn to love Nandini, they way she wants him to. To show him the tenderness, for Love is not always passion. Today, I am a happy soul.
Hence, my favourite scene of today's episode is the last scene.
Manik's default emotion is anger. He was worried about Nandini, about how the college would treat her, he was irritated with her for putting herself in harm's way, he was sad that he would be proved right and she would be proved wrong, he was sad for her innocence which would be bruised today because, he know how cruel the world is. But all he could show on the outside was anger. Because that is how he functions.
She had tears in her eyes, for her failures, for driving Navya away, for being constantly ridiculed by others. Manik shouting at her was the last straw. She could not hold her tears then. She knew why he was angry, that he was not angry with her per se, but more, he was angry for her. Yet, she could not hold her tears at bay.
Manik goes to Nandini. He is guilty for taking his anger on her, for shouting at her, for causing her tears to fall. But, he knows he was right, just could not express himself properly to her. When he sees her, he visibly calms himself down. For her, he would control his anger, try to give her what she needs right now. He can tolerate anything, but her tears. He sits next to her. But does not know what to say, because this tenderness is all new to him. But, try he would, for her. He goes close to her, offers her his shoulder. He feels elated when she needs him for comfort. He holds her face in his hands and caress it tenderly, tries to explain his point of view. Still he believes that it is him vs the world. But now he has hope, which he never had. What if she is right? He wants her to prove him wrong.
That is where the scene ends. But, I am happy because, he is changing, learning, evolving, for her.
Love
