Cavya: Firstly, your section on Cavya was excellent. I doubt i can add anything, you did it too well. i have to say not the best way for the truth to be out but i am glad it's out there. Boyfriend ! lol, my poor Cabs. Loved his meeting with Navya's mother..haha. his fumbles, his stuttering..lol.But now Navya has learned not to jump to conclusions. She should have waited to see what exactly the conversation was about before she dropped the bomb. But i feel as thou she was so heavily weighted with the stress and guilt, that deep down even she is relieved. She is upset with Cabir, maybe she has a right to be but this happened for the betterment of them. But i am glad they didn't stretch it out. And you are right: now Navya can fully focus on bringing this child to the world. Cavya's friendship will be tested and they will definitely get stronger. I don't know if Cabs is about to become a 'boy-friend' to Navya in the eyes of Navya's mother and the father of Navya's child but i think that is what the mother shall think and Cavya might along with it. LOL. I see Hi-Larious written all over it..
Mukti: Damn, the poor girl ! Abhi despite his best intentions to stop hurting Mukti..he keeps hurting her. If she has chosen to stay with him till his last breath, then he can't walk away every time he wants to. Why ? Why ? Multi is right. Why is killing her in this way ? She doesn't deserve to be denied his presence until the end. He is being selfish and it's not fair. We will have to see which way their story goes according to the note but i am not liking the fact Abhi is dictating how their relationship runs. Bro, it's a two-way street, two people in a relationship and they make decisions together.
Dhruv and Manik: Okies, what's is this man's problem ? like just tell me what it is. I am sort of getting past of the point of trying to understand his problem with Manik. When you look through the world with a certain lens, you are bound to percieve in that manner. So negativity if all Dhruv is seeing. He is aloof with Manik, distancing himself and not giving a damn because he resents Manik. He so desperately wants to be like Manik that he is forgetting what a special friend, a brother Manik has been to him. I feel as thou if an attack would be triggered for Dhruv, it would help these two out. Their emotional bonding. But at least they have decided to talk about it. For now, Dhruv pisses me off..lol.
What a homecoming ! Manik's home is Nandini Murthy so when he claimed, he could have gone home, he lied. He did indeed come to his home. And her sweet catch up date touched him. The cousy, romantic atmosphere brought that tiny smile to his face. The feeling of a loved one waiting for him to return. Seeing how she spent her time awaiting his return: that's such a foregin feeling. Such a good foreign feeling.She knows him too well, he is becoming too predicable.lol. I am glad that thou in a teasing manner, she did clear up about the Pandit, knowing he would be want to know, that's it's bugging him. Quite thoughtful of our Nandu, the reassurance she gives him.
And he sits next to her, unwinds, shares about his day because he is past the point of denying himself the pleasure of her presence. I agree with you, he did seem mentally tired, a tad reluctant to share with Nandu, but the important sentence: " She is just a friend, now" So we shall take it as such. Honestly, i am not very interested in Manik's past ( his love life to be precise). The truth, the reality is that Nandini is his present as well as his future.
She brought him to watch the stars. And star gazing he did do indeed. "You can't resist the stars." So right you are Nandini, he simply can't resist you. He turns to face her, and stares at his own shining star with a look full of love, her smile brightening his life again, her presence bringing peace to his heart. She reaches out and takes hold of his hand, and his entire being comes to life. That little twitch, that's him coming back to life. Away from her, he just exists but with her,he lives. He is alive. She is his reason for everything. For preponing the tickets, for coming straight to her after a long tiring flight. She is the reason for everything he does.
They played a beautiful song for Manan today. Apt in every sense.
Tujhko jo paaya aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan haan
With you, i have learnt to live. In every sense, Nandini has taught him how to live, taught him how to look at look at life with positivity, taught him to see the goodness within himself. And this moment, the moment of lying together under his stars, he wants to be in this moment with her forever, because that's all he needs from life: just her. Their love doesn't have room for a third person. Pandit's question is still haunting him but we touch on that later. But what i want to say that while the question still lingers at the back of his mind..for now, his inner turmoil is quietened. He is where he belongs, right next to his love, his heart is content.
"Actually now, it's not hurting as much." The heart is indeed healing, his anger is nonexistent now. I loved the honesty of Manik Matltorta, how he always tells her the truth within his own lies. Because somewhere in his heart, he wants to tell her, "I am not angry anymore, i have forgiven you, our love is past all that, my trust in you is rebuilding." But he can't, not yet. The heart may want to, but maybe the mind isn't ready for it. So instead he tells her to hope. Because her hope is his hope and together as they hope, they shall find their way back to each other. Manan don't really need to confess their love as you have said. Moments like these, coming home to his love after a long day, lying together to talk, sharing and being with each other..That's love.
Now..onto the aggressive Manik Maltorta. Loved the way you described and explained his reason for lashing out in the way he did. Last night when he was with her, the questions, the tensions, all his mental stress he was able to shed. But today, everything is back full force. the inner turmoil is back. He rushes to the music room, slightly out of breath worried his Nandu being alone with 'that Pandit". Nandini was being playful, she enjoys his jealously but she isn't aware of what is plaguing his mind. And you said it: she pushed him to the edge and he erupted. She isn't aware of the war that has been declared between Pandit and Manik. So the 'hold' isn't about their hope vs.hatred game, that game has ended already in a way. As much as Manik hopes for heir hope to win and for them to perform together. This all goes past that. This hold about his Nandini. He is holding her so tightly, he loves her so much that he know no one should even think about stealing her away. His is his life and he will fight for her and he will protect her. So Pandit, i keep warning you and you aint listening: watch out, older generation guy. This younger generation lad is about to kick your ass (figuratively and eventually literally)
Okies...i think i am done..Such a joy to be able to write my essays again.lol. Awesome-sauce as always, written to beautiful perfection.
