Aww it's embarrassing how cute Manik actually is. Nandini and he have their own equation which they both will always deny but when they are alone they bring out the real emotions in each other.
Nandini's frustrations, anger and her firing is reserved for Manik, usually coy & proper girl who never gives up just rants her frustrations to her Monster and he listens. While he in his own ways shows care , possessiveness and passion for her. These too sure love to hate each other and it is this emotion which is growing day by day, without them realizing it. The intensity and feeling is so toe-curling.
Manik justs wants to blame Nandini so that he can nip whatever is building inside him for her. But good on Nandini for giving the shock , the girl had enough of his craziness and it was some slap of reality. Immediately the Monster Manik subdued as she roared and cue in the concerned Manik. Her injury caught his eye earlier too and he saw the whole rickshaw thing so it probably played in his head and he just had to lift her up and dump her in the car in his own special ways. The boy cares and cares badly for her , whatever he may call.
Parth was so brilliant when he reminisced all the scenes , there was a special softness on his face , as he internally processed the "goodness" of Nandini which he always knew but never wanted to acknowledge even privately.
But the moment of the episode was when Manik says this is home, omg these two boys are adorable . For him Dhruv is his everything and somewhere in that equation Nandini is making her way. I don't know why he is so into dhruv , probably because of his home situation or due to Dhruv's disease, somewhere I feel Manik feels responsible for whatever Dhruv is going through health wise.
How cute was he when he said - I hate hate her, omg, he was avoiding eye contact , re-affirming and his beating the heart- yup boy, thats where she has made her way . She has ignited a strange passion in him and he just cannot accept that. Dhruv is perceptive , he senses what Manik truly feels for Nandini, it would be interesting to see how he reacts to them when they become more pronounced .
Cabir, Navya and Harshad drama - blah.
But that last look- ufff Manik . That is going to stay with me.
Music competition should be fun , hopefully more Manik-Nandini interactions because these two are fire. 3 days of excruciating wait now.
