People ji, Manik can carry Nandini in various ways. Till now we got many demonstrations of him picking her up over his shoulder..but aaj tou he picked her up like a child and put her on top of the shelf like she weighed nothing at all. Have you ever seen a couple like this before?!
The joy the eight hours they spent together have brought me We got MaNan who are hyper-aware of their proximity, we got bickering MaNan, we got intense MaNan, we got teasing MaNan, we got caring MaNan, we got understanding MaNan...
We got Ishq Bulava MaNan
FINALLY! The progress we've been wishing for. Not only did we get them to be physically aware of each other, but we saw them having a heart-to-heart as well. What a stark contrast between them in that scene. While Manik was awkward and hesitant to share his fear, Nandini was literally glowing like the very fireflies she so loves. And she acted like one as well. She made the room glow and Manik was stunned at her thoughtfulness. Nandu is smart Manik, she is so much more than the trouble you deem her to be.
Though of course Manik was acting a bit grumpy but Nandini wasn't much affected by it. She is truly beginning to understand him. He's not the one who would so easily show his gentler side, she has realized that behind that rude grumpiness, he doesn't always wish ill. I don't know whether she has freed him of her accusation of the goon sending but that intense hatred has been toned down by a lot. Today her nickname for him wasn't said out of hatred but said in a teasing way.
Same can be said for Manik as well. Today was the first time he told her to wipe her tears, asked her to say something, did something which made her smile that pretty smile at her. And he didn't even realize that! While we totally misread the precap yesterday, she didn't smile at him during that close moment. But she smiled at him in a much better way. She smiled at the real him, the vulnerable one, the one he doesn't show anybody...at least not normally.
So yes, now equations are bound to change! The tone of their "relationship" is gonna take a different turn. You just can NOT ignore this proximity, physical and emotional, and forget it the next day. Gaaah! This weekend is gonna be long! Denial gonna be strong on Manik's front and perplexity strong on Nandini's front. Shit man, me is so damn excited!
P.S - Harshad. Me officially loves you. Expect a post on him soon.
