Is it Nandini's fault??
If Nandini had lied today, Manik would have been released, Fab4 would have been happy, we would have been happy, hell even I would have been happy.
But somewhere deep down, it would have killed Nandini's character credibility for me.
Keep in mind, it's not you, it's not me.
It's Nandini we're talking about.
The girl who believes in a totally irrational thing like fireflies glowing for true lovers.
The girl who comes at a party at 8 because "it's supposed to start at 8"
The girl who can't say "Your life mujhe kya go to hell" to her best friend *read Naveli* when she's being the dumbest girl on earth and believing a jerk instead of her.
The girl who has a heart of a 17 year old.
The girl who IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD.
The girl who used to believe that Manik Malhotra "always had it covered".
The girl whose believe got shaken when she saw no one around the water tank during the Harshad incident.
The girl who was shown a CC clip containing HALF, and may I repeat, ONLY HALF of the ACTUAL FOOTAGE of the accident.
The 17 year old girl who doesn't understand manipulation and politics. Who doesn't understand how your slightest confusion, one small seed of doubt can be used against you, can be used to make the person to whom you are EVERYTHING hate you.
The girl who saw HALF THE TRUTH.
How can anybody say it's her fault?
Everyone noticed the "I don't know" part. Didn't one single soul notice the way she'd freaked out when Manik started pulling his hand away from hers??
She got so scared, it's like she wanted to take back her words the moment she saw his face. She wanted to do everything and anything possible to get that look of trust, that touch of hand back. It's like she was drowning and she wanted to hold on to the last straw if possible.
It's like she could read in his eyes that she had let him down...like she had failed to be his protecting star and she wanted to burn, to burst in that moment if that's what it takes to save him, to gain that look back. How can anyone miss that?
She is a 17 year old girl.
Can't she have a moment of confusion?
Can't she ever give in to pressure and panic?
A 17 year old girl, for heaven's sake. And she's shown enough maturity for her age already.
I'm not saying she took the right decision. But nobody is capable of making all the right decisions always.
If we can excuse Manik for giving in to his impulses all these times, why can't we excuse Nandini for not understanding the "Gravity of the Situation" for once?
How is it our fault??
If we don't believe in fireflies.
If we don't believe in true love.
If we don't believe in never giving up on the people we love.
If we don't have the heart to love a beast.
If we don't have the power to turn that monster into a hero.
If we cannot be a Nandini.
It's not our fault.
Because that's just what we are, what we will be.
No matter whatever we go through, the essence of 'us' will always be buried deep down inside us.
It never goes away.
Similarly.
It's not Nandini's fault she can't lie.
It's not Nandini's fault she listens to her heart, that doesn't permit her to lie.
It's not Nandini's fault.
It's not.
FYI, I'm head-over-heels n love with Manik's character. I feel his pain and hurt as if they are my own. I've finished all my chocolates AND 1 week's worth of chocolate spread (because by that time I'd run out of chocolates) while watching the epi. I've actually used up half of my tissue box. And I have a test tomorrow for which I can't concentrate. I can come up with a 15351631553 words to describe those looks, that face of Manik, and yet it won't suffice. The boy just killed me.
And still, I believe it's not Nandini's fault.
Not this time.
