The circle of life...the irony of fate that we witnessed today!!
How far they have travelled!! Manik, Nandini and Dhruv!! Spellbound...as the circle completes!! Dhruv...the one who fell in love with Nandini,, today absolutely hates her... who changed himself to win her love...today is so transformed that he is unrecognizable!! Dhruv...the one who punched Manik coz he was protecting Nandini..today destroyed the very same honor and dignity he once stood for!! Nandini's first friend...her last foe!! They say there is a very thin line between love and hate...Dhruv today..in spite of Maniks' multiple warnings about not crossing the line...did cross over...from love to hate..!!
And Manik ...what to say?? He left her...his life, his love for Dhruv...and today for the very same abandoned in favor of Dhruv girl...he punched his brother!! He is the guy who started off with hating Nandini and today his love knows no bounds..his journey is complete...as he stands protecting her...defending her innocence, guarding her dignity that his very best friend was shredding in front of the whole wide world!! Life and its sense of humor!! They both stand at the opposite ends of the spectrum ...exactly in contrast to where they started from...again...all because of one girl...but the roles have totally reversed...!!
Manik...was being torn in two...literally!! As he stood on top of the stairs...his fear so palpable!! He knew what was coming...and yet could not believe!! Dhruv's words lashed him, tore him, cut him into ribbons...coming from that one friend he loved beyond himself...those harsh, disgusting, demeaning, crude words...and aimed at him...coz he and Nandini are no different now...aimed at his girl's honor, targeting his Nandu's respect!! Noteworthy he has no self respect when it comes to Dhruv..he will happily take whatever Dhruv dishes out to him...but when it comes to Nandini...no one plays with her emotions!! The insults that ripped the very fabric of their friendship...the very soul of their innocent love!! How could he simply stand there and be a witness to his pure girl being sullied by such vile accusations...yet he stood coz they were pouring out of his brother's mouth!! Can we envisage his torment, his torture...the unbearable agony of seeing your loved one prosecuted for no fault and that too by the one you love equally!! He tried to stem the venom, to control the hate...but to no avail...!! Hats off to Parth for expressing this conflict beautifully...even when he had to rush after Nandu to wipe her tears...he was wishing he could wipe Dhruv's blood off before leaving...
He could not..simply could not stand there and let his Nandini be defiled!! He was pushed of the edge by Dhruv...And then there was closure...he had chosen Dhruv once over Nandini and today he closed the loop as he chose Nandini's love over Dhruv's friendship!! He did what he thought was right then...he did what he knew was right..today!! A few months..yet eons of change!!
Later, when she asks him if he was alright...he could neither smile nor cry!! He could neither lie nor share the truth!! The two most important people in his life...one his heart...one his soul...and both were hurting...and he stood there clueless...Manik...standing at the cross roads of love and friendship once again!! Wondering why...
Nandini...the innocent eye of the storm!! She had watched then...horrified at the turn of events...not believing her eyes...and she was hearing today too..in dumb struck disbelief ...as all she stood for shattered...taking all her goodness with them!! The girl who appreciated the beauty of their bond the most...today was subjected to the extreme ugliness of broken relationships!! She was the sole witness to the depth of their friendship...and today the same deep engulfed her entity...drowning her beliefs in darkness! She believed that their equation was unbreakable...and the same broke her into a zillion pieces!! Once again...blameless...innocent...a puppet in the hands of fate...buffeted around by the winds of destiny!! She pays the heaviest price...collateral damage!!
Can't stop wondering at the irony of fate when she points out...Manik's selfless friendship with Dhruv was what had attracted her to him in the first place...and today...she was being held responsible for destroying that one beautiful bond she so cherished!!
What a journey..of love and hate...of friendships and enemity...of understandings and misconceptions...of faith and broken trust...of confidence and insecurity...!! The full circle is complete!!
