"I trust you Manik." Tumhe jo karne hai, woh tum karlo. Par, I'll keep fighting for us. Jab tak tumhe samaj na aye na, that what fun it is, being together" She has definitely understood the importance and need of Manan's togetherness in this life, now it's our Romeo's turn.Today, we saw the official kick-start of Nandini's project "Fix what's been broken". And undoubtedly, some scenes were necessary, others were touching and many were heart-wrenching. But we all should be used to those passion-filled, pain-coated and tear-soaking scenes of Manan. It's why we can't take our eyes off them.
He had claimed that he would make her life as difficult as hell. The most difficult till yet. But she made it seem so absolutely damn easy. He had hoped she would break. But it just continues to make her stronger. Her fearless stare into his stern eyes alongst with her words "I'll drink it", proved that their love for each other will become the pillar of strength in this fight of the mind vs the heart. And then he demanded for a second round! She coughed, but didn't decline. Mistaken was he when he thought that she wouldn't be able to see past that mask of his. He expected her to call him by his preferred name "Monster Manik", but little did he realise that his identity was not that which he or his friends knew him as, She was his identity. She shaped him to be the individual he stood today, Be it his extremist side of both the bad or the good, but only she knew how to bring out both the sides. She was the heartbeat that his heart echoed when he felt her presence around him. She was the first and last thought of the day that his mind dared to think. In fact, she seems to be the only thought. She is that smile which plays on his lips when her touch makes him forget all the worries in this world.
( these last few sentences are utter perfection 👏)
But it would be unfair on my part to say he has forgotten Nandini's importance and her need in his life too. It would be unfair of me if I were to voice that he was joyed at the sight of seeing her in pain and discomfort. If she could drink those drops of pain and let her throat burn for the night that is yet ahead of her, he has promised himself to always protect her and thus he drunk those pearls of affliction himself too. Ironic isn't it... or shall I say true love isn't it that the man who announced so smugly that he will make her go through the same pain that he's going through, has once again proved that she may love him unconditionally, but he loves her in such a selfless and self-sacrificing way that if the need be, he would even sacrifice himself for her but wouldn't stop loving her.
Oh with what such beauty that scene was portrayed. (Kudos to parth and niti). And then came the moment that stole the whole show away. How he had again thought that there would never be any realisation from her side of how much he loved her. He was confident that she'll never find out, but I guess destiny had something else stored for them. It was such a magical scene when she thinks of picking up his glass and sculling the drops of pain that he wanted to hide from his friends, from his love. It was almost as if his stars and her fireflies had come together in the night of that moment and called out that voice straight from the heart that he's again hiding something from her. Just like he's been masking the true reasons of his care-filled actions towards her, his motif today too was the same. But this time he couldn't succeed. She could see clearly through the cloud of illusion that he had tried to form in front of her eyes.
If we actually think about it, Nandini has to fight a fight within a fight from now on. Complicated right? She has to not only fight for Manan's unquestioning love, but she also has to fight Manik's battle in making him realise that there is no room for the mind when true love awaits you at the door of your heart. He made her realise that love is an emotion, an unbreakable bond that can't be untied so easily once sealed. It's not a thought which can be overshadowed by the constant thinking of a second thought. That's the reason that the actual drops of pain wasn't the glasses of vinegar they both had to drink. The painful drops were infact those tears that they drank within, before they even had the chance to run down their cheeks and make their way to the lips.The beads of pain were infact those tears which never left the eyes upon seeing their soul-mate in so much pain. the pearls of pain were infact those tears which if they had started to weep, would've never stopped upon seeing the unselfish love they both feel for each other.
So the mind vs the heart? Who won and who lost today? I would say neither the mind won, nor the heart. Her unwavering faith in him and his forever promise of always protecting her, won. Her willpower of not letting go and his morale of respecting her self-respect won. (Referring to the bedroom fight scene over her tights, when she lands up on the floor and he turns to glance in the other direction because she was feeling uncomfortable due to her bare legs)
She shook his grounds today and he again gave her another reason of why he couldn't let her go. This is just the beginning of their love story, not far is the day when his stars and her fireflies will witness and bless their union of forever togetherness.
reserved for moi...so here i am with my cents that usually ends up being a essay..lol.
First. i have to say that today's post is absolutely beautiful. You seem to have a magic wand for words...you put such beautiful thoughts that i am always somewhat in awe of it all. ( No, this is not me being biased, this is legit honest.) Take a bow babe !
I am going to start with your final thought as to who won today ? The mind or the heart ? I say even today Manik's heart took victory. Let me tell you Manik's secret. Whenever his heart and mind will battle it out in terms of the love of his life: The damn heart will always win because he just loves the girl too much. I can bet you all of nandu's fireflies the heart will win. The mind has an edge ever so often as it did when Manik decided to play a twisted game of double dare.
But the heart wouldn't have it. How dare his mind think of making his love suffer ? So he decides he too shall suffer. He drinks the vinegar, the acid washing down his throat and he feels the pain. her damn pain ! But he bears it all with a smug Monster Manik expression.
Even in suffering..they are companions. And he suffers much more..Not only he washing down the acid..he also feels the heavy guilty of making her suffer.
And she sees right through him too ! The whole world beleived that Monster Manik and she was the first to tell him.."You are not a monster Manik..you have so much goodness in you " Like i said..the man is just making himself miserable.
Manik is playing a mean game but not just with Nandini but rather with himself. He is trying to bring back Monster Manik that he doesn't realize person suffering the most is him.If you can't see the girl in pain then why inflict it on her ? oh yes, i forgot. You are trying to be Monster Manik. Totally makes sense to us. NOT. My Manik is such a twisted soul and I love him.
i give Mukti credit for being able to foresee that Cavya's plan will backfire but only if they knew he too drank the vinegar...waiting to see how Cavya and the rest of the gang play a role in Manan's life now
Manik is pushing Nandini and i forsee that he will push her harder each day not to break her mind you but rather to make them unbreakable. He will test her at every possible point because she has failed the most test of his life: the test of trust. And now this kickass Nandu will pass every test of his. As we said earlier last week. It's Nandini's turn to fight for Manik. To show him that ' that together they are fun'
Major Kudos to Nandu today. Twinkie and I are very happy to know that you indeed have your mojo back ! Loved her attitude today ! She faced him head-on with a fearlessness she had in the initial days of the show.
it would have been useless for all this pain to go to waste if they had just put a blanket on their issues and patched up as Cavya are working towards.
This is a uphill battle my friend..one that Manik's mind will make as hard as possible for Nandini but his heart will do its best to help her.
Like the instance today where he turned away when she was visibly uncomfortable with her bare legs. It was actually a beautiful moment for me. He has seen her much less in earlier steps of their relationship but even today he respects her and preserves her self-respect as you said.
Fusion Concert. Hmm i am wondering what twisted game Nyo is playing by throwing Manik and Nandu together with Pandit. Cabir already wonders how they end up all the time without trying but now she is purposely putting them together. Nyo.. Manik Baba doesn't really hate his shining star (he is just being delsuional and fooling himself and the world)..moreover he is fighting a harder battle to safeguard his heart. Nyo's plan will definitely backfire and we will get both the Pandit-Manik clash and the old good Manan bickering and quarreling. Good times ahead.
Sorry girlie..my response seems a little too disjointed and messed up. I doubt i made much sense so beware..lol.
Much love as always..
Reya aka Your Sunny ❤️
