I keep calling him that because he was exactly that; a lost, vulnerable 19 year old boy who had no parental love, no friends who would protect his heart, no girlfriend who would fight his battles when he got too tired to do so..
Alone. He always walked with 4 others...and yet, he was always alone, aloof. Lonely.
And then, she came.
and he couldn't leave her alone.
'stay away from me'
'why do u come after me?'
'jab bhi main tumhare paas aata hoon, u, u push me away'
He didn't want to be alone anymore..
Today. He lost them all. Not because of something he did. but because of something he'd always done: protected them- from the pain that he used to feel, the loneliness, the anger and the suffering. He almost gave them their protected childhood back by taking on all of their battles. Especially his. Dhruv.
His buddy, his brother, more than brother.
'ehsaan'
If Dhruv had punched him multiple times, it would not have hurt as much.
'ehsaan'
How? How could he?
Manik was rendered silent. As words fell on his ears..he heard them all, but he did not get them. How could he? This was not his world. This was not going to happen to him again.
he had made sure of it. He loved Dhruv. He cared for Dhruv and thought Dhruv did too.
'ehsaan'
And they walked away. One by one. They left him.
Even Cabir.
She saw him through the glass..she stood there.
She felt his pain. She knew what it meant.
She saw the boy whose mother locked him in the room and who was afraid of darkness, who hated the dark.His demons could touch him then...and today, it had happened...
The slightest push would have made him fall.
In a nervous adrenalin rush, barely in control, he told her to leave. he knew he was capable of hurting her. he did not want her to see it. not till he had his emotions in check.
Emotions in check in a place that echoed with memories...
'yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai'
He saw the ugly face of his friendships today.
'Ehsaan'
He couldn't slay his demons alone. he couldn't push them away tonight.
'I need you'
As if asking her to come hold him, so he can cry. just so he can be. he was tired of the masks..if everyone had taken off theirs in front of him; he could too in front of her..the burden was getting too much..
that little boy was forced to grow up in a span of a few minutes. And so harshly.
Nothing made sense. But she was there.
She did. She was there, like she's always been.
Waiting for him.
To absorb his pain, to wipe his tears and mop his nose after he's done.
TO HOLD him and let herself be wracked by the shock and the pain that ran through his body and his soul.
She will make it okay. She will always make it okay, because she will shine for him. Tonight, she will protect him from all the demons.
Writers, Director, Parth and Niti- They blew me away
I BOW DOWN TO THESE WRITERS. They are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
PARTH SAMTHAAN was PHENOMENAL.👏 Tomorrow I know I will cry more.
NITI: perfectly complemented..with her quiet acceptance of all the pain and anger that Manik felt. And I know she'll be all sorts of awesome tomorrow also..
GOD BLESS PaNi FOR GIVING US MaNan!!
