And like some one else I am nervous too...coz there is sooo much to write about...its going to test your patience, so those who have a short fuse like Manik are welcome to run a mile and those who have tons of patience like Cabir...can stay...😃!!!
The big day did start on a bad note for Ms. Moorthy but when you have a hottie in a black vest, making everything right in your life, a bad note, turns into a musical tie that joins two hearts in a curve...that being a ...smile😊!! Okay...I was wrong and I did injustice to him by saying he had a short fuse and lacked patience...Sorry Baba..coz lately the kind of patience he has been showing has given saints a complex!! The way he handles his hyper sensitive and hyper active girl has me swoooning!! She is once again on the teary side of life, again due to circumstances giving her a rough time...and again he reassures her, comforts her, reminds her of...Hope!! Lovely words...just look at the Hope Tree...its growing fine, indifferent to all that goes around!! And that's precisely how a couple should be, bonded for life, cemented for eternity, whatever happens around, totally irrelevant to their relationship!! Nandini, once again, gets her smile back!! But the worries won't rest...Ams wants him out, and how in the world can she bear that?? How can there be any kind of life for one Nandini Moorthy without one very special Manik Malhotra, she can't even think about that scenario!! So Manik takes her in the past, talking about the shy, nervous, girl who had entered SPACE from Mangalore six months back...was that I am always right girl...ready to be friends with I love being wrong Manik?? Of course she is...now if that miracle can happen, then Ams kiss khet ki muli hai...usse toh Manik kachcha chaba jayega...girlie you know your guy naa...he can charm the birds out of trees...he can sell refrigerators to eskimos...he can market water to a camel...if he can win his Nandu over...the world and sundry will follow!! Cho Cho Chweet...and yet..so so deep...he understands what Ams means to his Nandu, he understands how important her blessing and approval is for his girl, and he does not discount or brush it off casually..nope he takes it seriously, and promises to win her over, by specially going to see her after the current bridge is crossed!! Seriously...if Nandu is shy of saying I love you...move over sweet heart...plenty in line here to yell this universal fact to this charmer...😃!! He is making us and more importantly Nandini fall in love more and more with eachpassing incident...sigh!! ❤️ (Woo Ams track on the way)
The moment he puts down the phone, again his visage changes...the world intrudes!! So endearing how he refuses to let even the shadow of his worries touch his girl...he will do anything to protect her smile...anything!!
Moving on...WHAT WAS THAT???...🤣..a spoof...a public troll..I ROFLed literally...K3G...cvs I hope it was a joke, then we can laugh it off...if not, you better never do that again!! KY2 has set certain standards, it has an expected level of class...its not...lemme repeat... not the run of the mill dime a dozen saas bahu OTT melodramatic show...bus kah diya!! And auntyji don't worry...Sunny is anyways not his type...our Cabir will get better any given day...so let Sunny go ahead and marry his honey bunny...😃!!(wonder what Ayaazie has to say about this scene...)
TK...is such a ego maniac!! His pride has to be his fall!! Every time he opens his mouth he talks about his favorite subjects...me..myself and I ..and of course how great all three are!! Agree with him this time though...whats going to happen on the stage will be unprecedented...the world would never see such fireworks...and its all cause a certain pyscho had the guts to challenge Monster Manik Malhotra...ab bhugto!!😡
And abhimaan ki dukaan...if you think you can control or keep Manik away from his Nandu...you are the biggest Gadha in the world (sorry to the erstwhile and hard working donkeys of the world...just following age old traditions!!)
TK Nyo convo...made me feel sorry for them!! Two fools living in a fools paradise...God Help!! Nyo looked like a million bucks...have to say this...great casting..she and only she can be Manik's mom..the elaan, the class, the ruthlessness, the monster genes ..are all there to see!! So she is counting the minutes...wants to hand Nandu to him on a silver platter and free her son...LOL!!
Talking of other characters...loved the princey today (why today..always...he is such a namuna I tell you)!!😆 He forgot to mention a performance...😃...to the performers...and Fab 5's look...hilarious!! Err...he dropped a bomb in their laps and no amount of glib talking from our favorite RJ is going to save the day..or no amount of high handed, pricey and sulky behavior is going to help either...loved how he shut Dhruv up...power has its pluses!! The best part, he managed to bring all seven main characters together on the show...yay!! So..it will be Fab 5 and Sexy 2 (Navu's words, not mine 😃) performing on stage together...finally..after eons...can't wait...Icing on the cake...or the cherry on the top..or the whole cake...Manik and Nandini walking in together...and they looked like a picture perfect couple...so together...so beautiful...so destined...so made for each other..STOP!!
Cabir ...🤣...his detailed description to the goons...they looked as baffled as he looked confused...and Mukti...was confuzzbaffled beyond redemption!! She got the gist when she said...inka size dekha hai...Bichaara Manik!! Hahaha on the female gada dhaari bheem who wanted to take on the two karan arjuns single handedly...Cabir ne bacha liyaa!! This is one plan that promises to go totally hay wire...hilariously and painfully!! But then was expected..you see..their champion planner is himself the victim and his silent back up is missing too...expect a major fiasco!! 😉
Now...saving the best for the last...I can drool and swoon shanti se!! The stage set up scene...by itself felt grand, majestic...got the feeling...the D Day is here..finally after such a long wait, and now its all happening!! It had a sense of anticipation, of finale..good work!! Nandini, a witness to all that was about to happen, in the middle of it all..yet standing on the side, watching with a pensive expression!! A zillion thoughts running in her mind as she fingers the sheer drapes...fears, doubts, hopes, uncertainities...so much going in such a small being!! And then he steps in, breaking in her reverie...her troubled countenance countered by his positively radiant face!! He has a spring in his step...his hope infectious!! He says what he has been saying since a while now...the performance, the concert, its all immaterial...what matters we are going to be together...hamesha!! What else can a guy say...is this any less than a confession!! What a man says to woman that we will be together forever...the story ends there...or should I say begins there!! She wants to sing with him, her hopes, her love, she wants to put that all in a melody, and just sing with him..desperately!! This should be their day...their performance day...and he points out..it does not matter!! Whether he be with her or not, she will still sing like a nightingale, she will still conquer all, she might go solo, but will be the brightest star...if not for anything else, then for her Ams!! Cause Nandini Moorthy cannot and will not disappoint her Ams!! And there...in the one instant...she gets it!! With wonder in her eyes, she realizes...she will sing..with or without him..she will sing for herself, for him and for her Ams!! And it will all go right coz of the one perfect man in her life...the man that her chichi and her bro love...the man that her Ams is crazily going to love soon too...Love...
And Manik rolls that word around his tongue...feeling its texture...love..hmmm...and what about you..Nandini!! He asks in a sultry and seductive voice...he wants to know ...desperately..his life depends on it!! Her whole family might love him, but in the end what matters is what does his girl think or feel about him!! He is dying to hear those magical words from her...his bold question, finds her blushing!! Fumbling, nervous, awkward...Nandini tries to avoid ..tries to keep her biggest secret from his prying eyes...the secret an innocent and shy 17 year old always wants to keep from the guy she loves like crazy...how could she tell him..how??!! But he can..and he will and he wants to...say it all loud...he can't keep it in any more..he wants to show and express how he feels...she might be hesitant, he is not...
Remember the washroom scene, where he had told Cabir, his plane was landing on the Fusion Night...he had made up his mind, pre planned this for days...come D Day he was going to go official with his love..this time no doubts, no hang ups, no space for misunderstandings...he wanted to give all and demand all too!! Surprisingly..he was ready...
And the drapes flying, the fan, it all added to the magical quality of the ethereal scene..it felt like a wispy dream, or like a fairy tale set in clouds...the way he walked to her, confident of his love, the way he brought her closer...heart stopping and the way he softly yet with the conviction of true love..started saying those words..life makin gwords. His voice modulation ...gorgeous!! The words felt so smooth and silky...like whispered words of love should...and her expressions..priceless!! Her eyes wide with wonder, anticipation, embarrassment, shyness, love, excitement all battling to fit in those two big beautiful pools of emotions!! The moment of her life...every girl waits for...dreams of...and how could she let this slide away so easily...she did not want that priceless moment to come and go so quickly!! She wanted to cherish and relish it...keep it safe in her memory for a life time..so it should not be so hasty...so quick...no she wanted to savor this moment...she wanted her life to linger and pause for this magical time...
Thus, with feathery touch of her fingers, she stops him...!! Stops the flow of the very words she always wanted so desperately to hear...the words that she so needed!! Why we wondered...but she couldn't have explained that to him even if her life depended on it..somethings men will never know...and women can never share!!❤️
She says ...not now!! We have a whole day in front of us...let's wait!! And with those inexplicable words, she escapes!! Will she regret putting this off...only time will tell...but she did what she felt was right...and that's our Nandini for us!! He stands there, bemused, with a wry slight smile tugging on his lips...later?? Really?? Wait some more? What the heck and why?? Why is she so complicated...why does she have to go and surprise me each time I think I have finally got her!! Why is understanding her at times so hard when I know her more than any other soul on this planet...and why is she nervous...?? Hey I am the one saying those three life altering words...the words I have avoided like plague...shouldn't I be the nervous one...the hesitant one...the one that should be doing the running??😛 Some answers you will never have Mr. Manik Malhotra and that's the mystery of love!!
Blissful, soulful...even if it was incomplete, it felt totally complete!! Even if the words did not reach their climax, no one was left in doubt...Love it is...unsaid but not unfelt, unexpressed but not invisible, hanging in the air, yet satiating the souls...I Love You!!
P.S...Tomorrow...the edge of the cliff hanger!!
