Ok, so I have finally decided that there's more to me than a stupid teenager crying over a precap, 😆 hence the lateness. (I'm NOT a teenager, btw)
Misleading or not, I couldn't care less. I just know that MaNan are end game and that's more than enough for me. 😳
Episode starts with the angel again coming to her broken knight's rescue. Maanik goes on ranting about Raghav not being the right person for Cabir, the age difference etc. Nandini cools him down like always. She mirrors Cabir's words on love (ALL ABOARD for the Cabir-Nandu ship yo 😎). Maanik is amazed and tells her just that. Nandu places her hand over his arm to calm him down and he does immediately. 😳
He even credits her for calming him down every time. He is about to hug her when Nandu's phone rings, announcing Rishabh's arrival.
Aalya again tries in vain to talk to Mukti. She confronts her regarding her pill-popping. She asks him to get over Harshad. Mukti lies that she is already over him.
Both Rishabh and Dhruv are shaking and convulsing (but not having a full-blown attack), MaNan to their rescue- each sambhalofying their own bro. Nandu goes home on Maanik's insistence.
Cabir breaks down at his house. Tears are infectious, I started crying as well. 😭 😭 He gets a call from Ranbir. The mummy clearly have issues with the twin. He pours his heart out to him.
ManRuv in a room. Maanik informs him about Rishabh and his attacks, says that he asked Nandini to come with Rishabh to help them understand the nature of their attacks.
Dhruv says he's the best friend one could ever have. (koi shaq 😎) Reason- he kept aside his ego and anger towards his aenemy...er... ENEMY and is trying to help him. Hearing this, at first Maanik looks uncomfortable but then both go into Nandu's la la land. 😆
They both are blushing and smiling to themselves thinking about her. Maanik says she's 'not that bad' (oh yeah, you'd know) while Dhruv says that she's 'really good'. 😛
Clever work by the director and the CV's- they both go absent-minded thinking about the same girl so they don't see the other's expression.
Bottomline is- they BOTH don't have any idea as to how the other one feels about Nandini. I can bet Maanik haven't even registered Dhruv's words in his brain!
Maanik's phone rings- it's NANDINI (yeah, no more 'Spot'). Dhruv tries peeking but Maanik turns the screen away- now this was TELLING.
Maanik- I've never seen this guy blush SO MUCH! 😲 😲
MaNan on phone conversing like a TYPICAL young couple. They both go silent in between as they struggle to find a topic to converse, just keep placing the phone from one ear to the other. (Reminds me of my first love )
Finally Nandu comes up with the party being good. Maanik the smartass says that party will seem good if you have good company. 😉 Nandini catches on his smartassness and says he's complimenting himself. Maanik says "Why? You didn't like the company of...mmm" (My bedroom wali company, bathroom wali company, pool wali company et al 😆).
Nandu reminds him of Musicana and Maanik's words are full of sexy promises for 'tomorrow'. 😈
Maanik cuts the call abruptly and Nandu cribs to her Aiyappa- probably for not getting a good night kiss. 😆
Next morning, the NH3 (minus Nandu) and Fab 5 (minus Maanik and Cabir) members are glued to where they're standing. Shahid cannot find his bike keys but doesn't move. Nandu comes in and is assigned the task to search for the keys by Shahid, she kneels down to search for it, Maanik comes in and bumps into Nandu- making her fall! Dhruv doesn't move.
It's Mukti's turn to call her a 'giri hui ladki'. Harshad warns Maanik of watching his steps.
Both Maanik and Nandu defend the other at their comments. Maanik says- "she was searching for something", Nandu says- "he was on phone". 👏 👏
I noted something peculiar in this scene- whenever MaNan comes togeter for something, MukShad follow suit or vice-versa.
Even in the dance sequence- when MaNan got each other, MukShad got each other as well.
That being said, it also sorta made me think that Harshad does thinks highly of Nandini- he was concerned for her enough to bark at Maanik but he didn't move to help her either, because he thinks Nandini is made of sterner stuff (or so I think).
Maanik offers his hand for Nandini WITHOUT CARING WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK!!! 👏 👏 👏👏 👏
She gets up. Cabir arrives donning the mask of 'funny man' again. ( My heart broke at this. 😭 😭)
Raghav the asshole arrives and gives his lecture. Musicana is happening at S.P.A.C.E!
He says that both the teams are supposed to perform together. Maanik is busy switching from throwing lovey-dovey looks towarda Nandu to deathly glares towards Raghav. Nandu senses that too. Raghav is about to leave when Baba blocks his way, he looked ready to SLAY!
Nandu comes to both their rescue by asking Raghav about the preparations and silently asks Maanik to calm down through her eyes. Raghav ki jaan bachi.
Nandu comes out with Navya, Maanik texts her and asks...sorry ORDERS her to meet him to which she replies with a 'No'. (Gurl...you SERIOUSLY prefer this dimwit over your hottie of a b.f? 😕 😆)
Maanik bhagaofies Navya by talking about her 'solo performance' and she rushes to check the notice board. The moment she leaves, Maanik pulls her inside a broom cupboard...er some random room. 😆
He goes all hot and romantic at the same time. He says 'why are you so difficult'? to which she replies 'why are you so stubborn'?
Nandu wants to leave but her Monster has some different, not-so-nek ideas in his head. Maanik asks her not to 'spoil it'. 😈 😈
Navya comes back after being fooled and searches for Nandu. She sees a portion of her bag sticking out of a locked door and calls her name to which Nandu panics.
Precap- you all know about that.
