DAY 44! - The 45th "Our Day..."
I can't say much except...
It's been forty-five, long, painfully addictive, heart-wrenchingly emotional, breathtakingly beautiful and classically magical days! Forty-five...freakingly...awesome...rant-worthy days! Sixty-five calendar days to be exact...but if we calculatedly deduct the 18 unexciting, lagging, boredom-filled Saturdays and Sundays and the two uninteresting merger episodes...I'd say forty-five seems about right. As I snuggly sat in my pink quilted bed tonight, shivering and jumping in uncontrollable excitement for the episode to air, I couldn't help but think what had actually inspired me to write about this un-clichd show. What had actually motivated me to jump on my laptop on the night of 17th of February, 2015 and compose my very first post on this forum. And as I travelled on the road of memories of the last forty-five episodes, I realised this journey of hope, of love, of hatred, of knife-piercing pain, of rivers of tears, of shying smiles, of world's bestest hugs, of soothing kisses, of premature teasing; was just much mine as Manan's. I hoped when Nandini told me to hope. I became furious when Manik expressed his anger to me. I cried when Manik fell in Nandini's arms and begged her to refrain him from shattering. I smiled genuinely when Nandini smiled upon seeing Manik safeguarding her at 5am in the morning. I felt an identical sense of warmth whenever she would helplessly cling onto him for a heart-warming hug and I've experienced that fluttering of the heart when his lips or her lips would smooch each other's cheek, forehead, nose, hands or fingers. Before I could further drown in the blissful memories, the episode started and my mind, my heart diverted towards the screen that would finally put an end to the long-awaited homecoming song my babies had announced to hum together. And now that this breath-taking and heart-throbbing episode has waved its goodbyes...I sit here wordlessly, spellbound by the twinkling magic of their love that was aired a few hours ago, enthralled by the pure beauty of this love story; calmly yet restlessly tapping my fingers on the keyboard of my laptop, contemplating where should I begin.I warn you...I warn you all! This may just turn out to be the most lengthiest, absolute nonsensical post you may have ever read. But I promise to whoever wants to continue reading that there is a little gift-wrapped message from my behalf to you all at the end of this rant. Feel free to skim and fly right to the bottom to read the gift yourself. Or for those who want to be bored and take it slow and steady; let's start treading on this journey that started off with a battle of the heart and the mind, then transformed into one previewing his "supposed hatred" and her hope. And the last few steps were all about them hoping together.
Day 44 it is today! It's as they voiced in harmony; "our day!" So much has changed...but surprise surprise! Some things are never meant to change. This is the story of their tears, their smiles, their hugs, their gifts, their friendship, their so-called hatred, their realisations, their confessions. This is the story of their love. Their true love!
Day 0 was their day too! The dark night of Valentines Night. The had matched. But for opposite reasons. She stunningly stood there in a love-signifying, red gown; weeping a river of tears. Drowning in guilt of the blunder that occurred inside that magistrate's office. He was present in the same room. Pacing back and forth dressed in his bold, black and red suit. Fuming with painful wrath as his heart slowly and piercingly shattered into infinite pieces. Her red symbolised love, passion, confessions. His red had symbolised, intensity, furiousness, flaming anger. He gifted her is hatred despite her constant pleas of forgiveness for an unintentional mistake. "You were supposed to shine for me". She hasn't stopped shining since. They stand in harmony once again today. The stage their personal bubble. The gleaming smiles on their faces twinkling like a sky full of stars. They stand matching once again.Their gold attires screaming to the world that he belongs to her and she belongs to him.😆😆😆 [You seem to find manan parallels even in costume 😆😆] She's always shined for him. From Day one. But today he wishes to shine for her too. He wishes to gift her the long-awaited present of her existence. He has gifted her hope today. "Finally today...hope won". He has gifted himself to her today! He has gifted her forever togetherness. He has gifted her the promise of never letting go of her ever again. He has gifted her the promise to protect her for lifelong, to keep her smiling for eternity, to fulfil every wish of hers till he continues to exist.
Today is "our day". Day 1 was "our day" too! Day 1 - the lending of the helping voice! He had become unrecognisable for her that day. He had so mockingly and with such pitiless attitude announced of her expulsion through the college microphones. Her tears had flown a sea that day. She constantly considered it to be a revengeful humiliating act from his behalf. Little did she know that if he hadn't announced his heart's voice that day, they wouldn't be announcing their reunion to the world through a song today. His heart had wanted to tear apart that piece of paper that would have become the reason for their separation. But his mind had warned him to not listen to the heart because love is felt through the heart and love is painful. But today the mind is out of the equation. His voice had stopped her from leaving his life that day and today his voice has assured her and this world of her permanent place in his heart.
Today is "our day". Day 2 was "our day" too! Day 2! - Denials! She had followed him like his shadow to every corner of the college, continuously questioning him life depending questions. Would he be able to live without her? Would he be able to move on in life? She had even tried using her magical touch in order to bring the confession upto his lips. But he had preferred to stay lip-zipped. He had walked away uncaringly from the aisle of the library, filling her up with tears of defeat. She had thought it would be the last time she would ever see him, ever hear him, ever speak to him. Today she continued her following routine. She shadowed with him to every corner of the stage because today they've accepted to not be apart, but one. Day 2 was full of questions. Day 44 is full of answers. And he didn't walk away. Instead he kneeled down in acceptance and answered; "tujhe chahun betahasha zehnaseeb" A promise; to never walk away again. The answer; that he's already fallen in love and can never fall in love again.
Today is "our day". Day 3 was "our day" too! Day 3! - It's break time! "Manik...I need a break". He can never refuse her wish. He had given her the silent air to express her distresses, to ask him questions, to speak to him coherently. His pain had eventually leaded him to push her away as she stood on the terrace for what they both felt as their last time. She had indeed started to believe that it was indeed the day of her farewell. From SPACE. From his life. Silence was gifted again today. But even without words they can converse nowadays. They stood so cosily in the airy corridors of the college, listening to each other's heartbeats as it voiced their union of forever togetherness. His heartbeat confessed it all to her. She can never be allowed to leave his world. No breaks will ever be needed because they've learnt to fight for each other now rather than for with each other.
Today is "our day". Day 4 was "our day" too! Day 4! - It's fixing time! She's fulfilled her promise to herself. "But if I can break it, I can fix it too!"The heart has started to beat again. It is fluttering in joy. It is racing in indescribable excitement. The heart doesn't ache anymore. She has healed it with her tears, her healing touch, her soothing kisses. She caresses it once again tonight to ensure it is in perfect and harmonious state. It was! No longer does it weep shrieking cries of pain. It only sings. Sings of their hope-filled love story.
Today is "our day". Day 5 was "our day" too! Day 5! - The Drops of Pain! "I trust you Manik." Tumhe jo karna hai, woh tum karlo. Par, I'll keep fighting for us. Jab tak tumhe samaj na aye, that what fun it is, being together" He's done what he had to do! He had to ensure her hope, his hope, their hope won and so it did shine! He had to ensure that he never abandoned her at any step of life. That he never left her unprotected in any battle. And so he fought this battle with her. They drunk the stinging drops of vinegar in sync that day. And today they are breathing their love-filled oxygen in sync too. They are voicing their love to the world in sync too. They are becoming each other's in sync too!
Today is "our day". Day 6 was "our day" too! Day 6! - The Ice Cream Remedy! "What about your smile?" Your smile is so beautiful Manik and I want it back." She wanted it back! She needed it back! She wanted every inch of him back that day. Nobody would have thought it would've taken her a whole 39 more days. But had she ever lost him? Pshhht no! He may have played his common daily routinely push and pull games with her, but never did he let her leave his heart. "It hurts...it hurts to hurt you Nandini." He needed her just as much as she needed him. He wanted her just as much as she wanted him. If she had been the one to inflict pain upon him, she must be the one to always heal his burning heart. She must be the one to feed him a fingerful of ice cream to soothe the burning anguish. She has him back today! Every drop of blood gushing inside him belongs to her. Every molecule of air he inhales, has her name scribbled all over it. Every beat his heart beats, beats only upon seeing her around. He holds her hand towards the end of the episode only to telepathically inform her that she has him now and he has her.
Today is "our day". Day 7 was "our day" too! Day 7! - Let the battle begin! "Bring it on Manik! Dekhtein hai keh kaun jeet ta hai. Mera hope, ya tumhari hatred." Ohh hatred?? Where are you?? Hatred?? Are you there?? Umm so what exactly does hatred look like Manik? Is it when you so adoringly kiss her warm hands, whilst whispering "And this is real too." Or is it when you let her presence intoxicate you and continue to lean closer into her for that magical kiss. Aur paas...aur paas...aur paas. Well let me just say that if this is the true definition of your hatred, then congratulations!!! Your hatred and her hope have both won today!
Today is "our day". Day 8 was "our day" too! Day 8! - Miss Murthy vs Mr Malhotra! "I can't live with you. But I can't live without you." Today; "Hona likha tha yuhin jo hua...ya hote hote abhi...anjaane mein hogaya" Destiny assisted him to pick between his two dilemmas. What had been scripted, was simply imposed.
Today is "our day". Day 9 was "our day" too! Day 9! - It's one-all! "Manik... fusion concert solo nahi ho sakta... iska matlab yeh hai keh do music ka milan..." When the two have never treaded on different paths despite fighting their individual battles, when the two have never belonged to anyone else except for each other, despite hating each other at first sight, when the two haven't loved anyone so purely, so deeply as each other, despite being two distinct personalities...how does someone not expect these two souls, these two hearts, these two musical notes, these two songs to perform together. When apart they're incomplete. When together, they're 'one' in the most correct of ways. "My hope wins! One-all Manik". Her hope truly won! His hope undoubtedly won! From two, they've finally become one! He's her one and only world. She's his one and the whole world.
Today is "our day". Day 10 was "our day" too! Day 10! - What is true love? "Aur Manik life mein true love na...itni easily nahi milta" They've struggled, fought, wrestled and surpassed everything that has come their way. They have finally attained everything they could ever wish for, dream for. Each other! The world is a jealous planet you see. He had been fighting with himself on Day 10 to accept the fact that true love truly exists. Today he seems to be fighting with the world to protect this true love. As long as love will live, the need to fight will exist too. True love means to never give up. To never lose hope. True love means to keep fighting.
Today is "our day". Day 11 was "our day" too! Day 11! His colour of love! "Happy Holi Nandini". If Day 11 was the day to wish your lover happy holi. Dayy 44 is the day to wish her for Manan's day. "Happy Our Day Nandini". He had smeared her with the colour of his love in broad daylight that day. Today he wishes to shower her with all the stars in the world He wishes to drown her in his music so her life becomes his complete song.
Today is "our day". Day 12 was "our day" too! Day 12! - Colour and Run! "Nandini, this is just the start up...you have no idea!" He coloured her in every shade of Manik Malhotra that day. She officially became his forever that day. She was drenched in the Manik Malhotra's colours of possessive love. And today every chance of her being snatched away, of her walking away, of her running away from him has been ceased. If she'll ever walk away, she'll make sure to tightly grip his hand and drag him along with herself. The night has just begun. The confession through the eyes has been spoken. The worded confession however still needs to be heard.
Today is "our day". Day 13 was "our day" too! Day 13! - To Protect! It was the first and last time he had allowed for her to conduct a mistake with the demonic panditji. Since then, not a single day has ended with him not reaffirming his need to protect her. In fact, this fight has only gotten more needful as the pandit's intentions have become more powerful. His need to protect her on Day 13 was upmost priority and his need to protect her today is of most absolute importance. He had blundered that day to not recognise the dark intentions hidden behind his mask of pretend righteousness. But today he cannot afford to fumble at any step. Today he can't risk any more mistakes. He has his most needful proof.; Ridhima. And now it's all about protecting this proof too from pandit's clawed hands.
Today is "our day". Day 14 was "our day" too! Day 14! - The unnamed love! "You care for me...and you were worried... and I'm happy!" Love was in the air that fragrant early morning as he forgot the meaning of sleep and spends the night waiting for her to run to him at 5am, through the empty corridors, away from that harmful devil. Love again is floating in the starry night today as they both refuse to let go of each other's gaze, each other's hands and each other's warmth, amidst the empty corridors. What is this emotion that repeatedly draws them within each other, even after many attempts to patiently wait for that magical moment to arrive? It's their unnamed love. It's their true love.
Today is "our day". Day 15 was "our day" too! Day 15! - The catch-up date! "Ohh...I thought your heart" A sentence was left incomplete that day. He had so cheekily changed the topic that it wasn't in fact his heart, but his hand that didn't hurt that much anymore. A line has been left incomplete for in the present too. "I love..." She had organised a catch-up day on that shining night to be able to have some heart-to-heart conversation. A catch-up date awaits them later tonight too as she will acceptingly fulfill every wish on that list that remains pending. And for once and for all, the correct word will be inserted into the sentence.
Today is "our day". Day 16 was "our day" too! Day 16! - Almost 7-2! "Jab tum us classroom se nikle they na...I had given you a point. So it was 2-6. Par lagta hai, ke mujhe bahut jaldi, ek point milne waala hai. Because Mr. Manik Malhotra, mujhe pata hai...ke tum kuch bhi karke, panditji ki class, waapis join karoge. As you said... panditji ke intentions, mere liye... ache nahin hain... hmm?" You did it Manik! You performed for her. With her. You crushed pandit's plan. And very soon you will unmask his intentions too! She knew you wouldn't let her fail. She knew you wanted her to gain an extra point. She knew you wanted her hope to win with flying colours. Today you not only sung with your lips, you carolled with your eyes too. Your eyes pointed their gaze towards her time after time to congratulate her of her hopeful victory.
Today is "our day." Day 17 was "our day" too! Day 17! - I need you! The day when you finally let go of the mind and returned back to your heart. You made a promise to always listen to the heart from then on because you spoke the biggest truth of your life. "You were right! I need you!" You've needed her ever since Day 0. And now that Dayy 44 has arrived, it doesn't mean your need will diminish. Your need will only increase because your love will only escalate. She refused to let go of you yesterday, today and in the eternity to come. She even enveloped your hand in hers so fearlessly in front of the witch today because this need...it holds the capability of destroying every fear. She held you so close that night, promising to never let you go. She holds you tighter today, promising to never loosen the grip.
Today is "our day". Day 18 - 43...they were all "our days!" They marked the elimination of Manik's supposed hatred. They destroyed the room for any misunderstandings to re-surface again. They merged their individual battles to become one, combined battle. The battle to walk hope to the finishing line together. With each ticking day.

NOTE: Guys this post was originally going to be titled "Our Day..." but my dearest Eveline's post is titled the same (it was bound to happen one day 😆) It's only fair that I allow her post to be titled that because 1. Her perfection with words actually convinces us that it in fact is "Our Day" and 2. First come first serve and she is so precisely fluent and efficient with her writing that she was the first one to post today. Hence this post was named "45 Days of Manan"- due to obvious reasons of course.
