I scream..... - Page 12

eve, you write so well.

I am in such a emotional state today after watching the epi, Manik evokes such maternal instincts in me at times, his pain , hurt, loneliness hurts so bad. 😭
It really pained me to see how none not even one person of fab4 know the real Manik, not even one person can see his hurt and pain. Manik sure has been a good actor to put up that facade but then when i think about this boy who has gone through so much of shit thanks to his parents, a dad who left him with his mother, a mother who has scarred him emotionally, used his for her own benefits and all that he would have expected is some love from them , he must have been shunned very badly and made feel so un loved and be abused emotionally .

Despite all these he loves Nandu will all his heart, he loves her like no one does, how thoughtful of him to keep her likes and dislikes in check even in this state, how he forgets all his pain and just rushes to soothe her pain. I do not think i can love this character anymore than what i already do.
He is such LOVE.

All i can wish is , quoting chachi 's words to nandu where she says he is Manik in true sense and also asks her to take care of him.

You know a couple of messages today made me feel that I was partial to him..as today's post was all about him...but I always write about what I carry home with me at the end of an episode and what stayed with me today was...Manik!! His selfless love, his loneliness, the unabashed way his mother uses him for trading, his cynical acceptance of his commodity existence, his faade, his mask never tears, never slips, his tenderness...he left plenty with me today...yet again!! Manik is lovable because unlike other gray characters, he does not live in self pity...he does not revel in the luxury of poor me...he is normal, healthy, living on the surface...he does not feel slighted by the world, he does not feel every one should compensate him for what he was never given...yes he has an abnormal background but he takes it in his stride casually and continues to walk on...

Beautifully said eve, and i have been in the same state today. As much as i loved Manan today, what struck my chord was about Manik's pain and hurt, his love, and caring nature. For someone who has gone through so much shit right from his young age , the boy has the ability to love and care to this extent, that is what amazes me. I have seen many layered characters but have to say this one is so different and makes him feel so near to heart , i get so protective about him at times.
Just the courage he has to love and care so deeply after being snubbed off from all of these emotions by his own mother is so applaud worthy. Be it his love towards fab4 or towards Nandu, he loves them so selflessly and has so much care for them.

P.s: That curve of smile that adorned his face watching her happy, enjoying the ice cream.

Eveline, words fail me today and u know why ... Kudos to the CVs for giving such memorable Manan moments, adorable yet soulful... Such writing is what makes KY2 stand out in this mediocre world of Indian television.

You ask, does such a guy exist? Well in our dreams maybe. The not so perfect guy but still perfect in every sense. But then reality strikes and I wake up.

The minute he gets her message, his own discomfort forgotten. Nandini u played well here, knowing very well he will come rushing. But little did u know that he will bring an entire ice cream factory along with him. I can so imagine the plight of the ice cream vendor, where Monster Manik would have gone to purchase all these flavours...

And while he is figuring out ways on how to let her know that he is here, she confronts him. Manik beta, chori pakdi gayi... His harsh tone returns but he still cannot complete his sentence " So u be ready when the next time I... " But my dear, she is not scared of this monster anymore. Bring it on... She is pleased to see the ice cream boxes. But he as always trying to cover up his TLC.. And then the outburst.

" It hurts to hurt you... It burns inside... " He is trying hard to be the monster, but failing every single time. His love for her surpasses any emotion he has ever felt, no boundaries, no barriers. But still his hurt at her betrayal is not letting him to forgo the anger. He is helpless in love and only she can cure him. While he is being truthful with her regarding his confused state of mind, she is letting him be. Because any reassurances at this point will not help Manik.

As u said Eveline, the blissful pleasure in looking at her. She starts enjoying the ice cream her Manik has got for her, the balm for her pain. And he simply watches her, no words for this serene moment. The tender looks, the satisfaction, that faint smile on his face. Pure bliss. " Seducing her, demanding her" Yes rightly said my dear. He anyways doesn't like ice cream, but Nandini... his eyes light up...

And then she offers him some too. Yes Manik, seize the opportunity my boy. And he doesn't disappoint. The oh so sensuous licking of her fingers, enjoying every second of it, his eyes never leaving her face.. Wow beautifully executed scene. Is this the work of the new director? I am impressed 👏

His love, this all consuming love. It is so evident that he wants to give all of himself to her. He has surrendered in front of her. Yet something stops him. He is selfless yet selfish. Kaisa yeh ishq hai. Haan Nandini is lucky to have this gem of a guy besides her, giving her the simple pleasures of life but in the most weirdest of ways. But then that is the reason why we adore this man or rather boy who has till now led a Dark life, deprived of love, in a world where love is mocked upon... But Nandini will make him smile. She will do away with all the wrongs and set everything right.

So you wish that one day we will find our own personal Manik Malhotra. Hmmm... But what about people like us? You know what I mean😉

And how can I end without talking abt our Mr.Foodie. I am sure he would have personally gone to BR to bring those tubs, all his personal favoruites. Aur sab khatam bhi kiya hoga with a smug smile. Nautanki 😛 And thanks to you for giving us this opportunity thru your daily thread to share our thoughts, naughty or analytical jo bhi ho, our wishes, our predictions... Eveline 🤗

hmmm,,,you acting as pricey as exclusive as Manik today...kept poor me waiting for hours!! 😆I know...I know...you were working really hard...trying to lick all those tubs clean...and you dare call him a foodie...I can bet you if you could find your way to the studio, you both would be coming to blows about who gets which flavor 😆!!

Omg the emotions that flowed through me when I read this - sigh

From the whole stuff u had written one thing really striked me .."HAVE ANYONE FEEDED HIM EVER LIKE THIS .."mi guess no ..not even his mom ..he is sooo child ..and i love him being a chold infront of her ..with her he can open up without any fear ..and she loves him opening up ..she dont want him to hide his anger ...i loved ur writings ...

Awesome post Eve 👏... for a rare gem ! Manik ❤️

Lovely post eve. I think the scene was as much about Nandu's love as it was Manik's love. She knew that he drank the same viegar he gave her. she knew that he would willingly suffer as much pain as she did. When she realised that she had inadvertantly betrayed his trust in her, her immediate thought was how it would affect him, how it could regress him into his old self. Seeing him take his anger out on that young couple, she thought her fears were coming true. She wept bitterly at the thought of leaving him, not only because she loves him and would miss him greatly but because in her absence nobody can protect him from self destructing himself. When he got her explusion revoked, she got back her hope to return in his life. So she wasn't bothered about his threats. She was willing to march into hell if it means she can pull him out of his.
