I think this got too lengthy and IF won't let me combine both our lengthy responses together so I shall make another post to bold and gush about your words.
Okies, so I just need a moment to compose myself because I am extremely emotional right now for multiple reasons. I had been warned that this was your best writing piece yet, and I was prepared to be amazed. And I am amazed. But I am also emotional in a way I hadn't been prepared to. But today, your words have teared me up, my eyes glazed over with tears and you did that. I promised you that I would be honest and tell you when it does and today I have. And coincidently it's the day Manan's hope won, you wrote words with such beauty and filled with emotions that my heart overflowed today, and came out as tears from my eyes. It had to do both with the 65 days and the 45 days.
The 65 days, they left me emotional to be honest. Because about 65 days ago, I stumbled across this post where this writer spoke beautifully of this raging mind vs. heart battle Manik Maltorta was fighting and I was damn ! she is good ! and I was compelled to add my 2 cents. And then day 2 rolled around, again this writer wrote beautiful words that needed appreciation so I did that, appreciated her, told her how beautiful her words were. Never I had thought as I commented that I would gain a friendship for a lifetime. That I would discover a beautiful girl who is full of love and positivity who wrote those words. I believe that KY2 and IF has given best gift in the name of this twinkie bear I love so much. What started as a couple of us commenting with SWP ( slaying wali preesha, me, you and pri), somehow we have grown. Your beautiful words brought so many others on board and the thread is home for so many of us. It's hard to believe we have only known each other a mere 65 days because it just doesn't feel like it. I didn't realize when your thread became home to my rants and thoughts. I didn't realize how easily you became such a beautiful part of my life. I didn't realize when it became routine to talk to you. I didn't realize when I came to love this beautiful friend of mine so easily. It feels like years, years of a beautiful friendship and honestly I pray that the love grows. You are a truly blessing in my life.
It was the way you talked about the 45 days, the 45 days long journey we started with Manan and cried, laughed, rooted for them and everything. Oh the memories of those 45 days, how everyday we waited for you to enlighten us with your words, explain Manik and Nandini to us. What a beautiful journey it was been so far. Engulfed in utter darkness, he vowed to himself that he will hate Nandini Murthy and he vowed to never forgive her for shattering his trust and thrusting in back to the darkness she herself pulled him out of. But we knew, knew that Manik would prove himself wrong. Nandini, so devastated she was, so hopeless she had become believing Manik would never forgive her and ready to walk away from the man who was the reason her fireflies glowed. And as the two wallowed together in pain, suffered together, we spoke of how they would come out stronger after this hardship. How their love would overcome all obstacles. How their gaps of trust, communication would be filled. We hoped, we always hoped for them. And look, just look at our babies, twinkie. Like hope, I was smiling my widest smile watching their love win. THEIR HOPE WON. OUR HOPE WON. And how beautiful was it for them, for us.
Zehnaseeb, zehnaseeb

Zehnaseeb. She is his good luck. It's their thing for her to wish him all the luck in the world on a big day. And a big day it was. Today, Manik needed his lucky charm to keep him in her prayers, to keep their hope in her prayers. And as Hamesha, she kept her promise, she kept him in her prayers and her prayers were answered. And when you have such a beautiful lucky charm, one has to win. Manik Maltorta won today. He defeated two evils today. He defeated the Pandit and got onto that stage for his Nandini, just so he could see her face light up with that beautiful smile of hers, so he would smile his precious, rare smile wholeheartedly along with her. I love you beyond words, my good luck. The three words of a love confession have yet to be spoken but they have been sung . Today they have sung their love to each other. Today, they have sung their love for the world hear. Ma and Nan will always be known as MaNan now. Two bodies, one soul, one heart

His heart was that empty sky. So poor it was, so unloved it was, so unaware it was of the true meaning of love. And this heart fills with warmth every time she is close, every time this heart gets to hold her close, to feel it's other half beating steadily. Their arms, they are each other's home, where they feel the safest. The rest of the world fades away as they realized that their hope had won. Her eyes sparkled like the star he knows her as. And their friends, hope herself smiled and cheered them on.
He won in giving his Nandini what she dreamt of, what she hoped for, what she prayed endlessly for. She dreamt of singing with her Manik. And when the dream came true, she couldn't believe it. It was all so beautiful that her heart couldn't believe it. It demanded to feel his steady heartbeat, to feel the other half of his heart to believe it. The hearts that united as one for Hamesha. It was their hearts' day too. These hearts wept in grief from being separated from each other, and now as they become one for Hamesha, they need to beat in sync to know that this is real. It's real, this is real. Their love is real, their victory is real. It's all real.
Khushiyon ka ek tukda mile
Ya mile gham khurchane
Yaara tere mere kharche mein
Dono ka hi ek daam hai
Now that their hope has won, now as they stand as one with their hands connected, they can take on any battle, face any evil as one because their strength lies in togetherness. They have chosen to share their happiness along with their sorrows. They have chosen to fight each other's battles. Manik defeated his evil Monster Momma for his Nandini today, he can bask and laugh in joy of it because he knows, how hard he worked for this victory, how he loathed every time to have to pull on his Monster Manik mask his mother adores. His Nandini will tell him to behave himself but when the evil momma threatened his happiness, the sherni roared to life ! She used her words as claws, slicing them right through Nyo's ignorance and blunt confidence of his next mistake. How dare she threaten her love this way ? How dare she degrade the man she loves ? She sassies her future mother-in-law with sass that even surprises her Manik. Manik deserves happiness, she is his happiness and she will never let anyone come between them !
Fab 5 are once Fab 5. They have reunited for forever. A lost soul has found his way home, realized his mistakes, made his apologies and now they can hug it out. The fifth finger is back; the fist is back to its full strength. A family can once again hurdle together in a group hug but times have changed. It's not love or friendship. It's all about Love AND Friendship. Nandini is that part of Manik's life and he can hold her close even as he is hurdled together with his friends. Absolutely beautiful it was to see.
Okies, I know this gush fest got far too lengthy and might not even make much sense, lol. But never have I enjoyed ranting so much. And you know that I have officially ran out of words to praise you but I hope you realize that my tears over your words are my way of praising you because truly today, words have fallen short.
Thank you for this beautiful piece, thank you for this beautiful friend. Just thank you.
Love you,
- Reya aka Your Sunny <3
