So let's do this again cos I seem like such a velle person𤣠right now whose supposed to be studying 24/7 but I'm fangirling ky2 ;|š³ But since I can't stop doing it anyway, lmfao, let's pen down another topic XD
Thankyou everyone for the wonderful response to my other random post yesterday.
Not that this one is any less random, lmao.
A lot of people have been wanting to kick Manik's ass. Like really. Not that I don't want to but it's such a pretty ass, I can't. š¤£LOL. Jokes apart, there has been a lot of uncertainties about this plot but if you ask me?
Oh man I cannot love the show more.
Today Manik Malhotra made a decision and executed it. Today he raised a lot of outrage and questions.
Why Manik? Why won't you tell her the truth? Why this track? Why hurt both of yourselves like this? You're not making any sense. You're not supposed to do this.
Have you ever stood up in front of a mirror?
Looked carefully? What do you see? Your reflection, of course. It's the mirror image.
Except it isn't.
If you take a paper with a string of words written over it and put it in front of the mirror, the words will read backward.
Such is life.
Perfect characters that make perfect decisions? I say boring. Mundane. Can you connect with them? I cannot. They don't define me, for I'm not perfect, for I make mistakes I wish at times I never did, for I regret, for I hurt, for I wish for a number of yesterdays to revert so I could just correct that one mistake.
So what if Manik's act wasn't what it should've been? It was one that came right out of him, one that gutted him, one that shattered him as well.
I like characters that are imperfect, whose flaws claw at the surface of their skin and creep out, whose mistakes fill their veins, whose ugly decisions scar their lives, and whose angst has the ability to destroy me. I love characters who are colorful and lively, who frustrate me, who vex me, who hex me and drive me out of my mind but who I root for, who I feel for and who I love more than anything. But they keep me at the edge of my seats biting my nails anyway.
I, personally, cannot cannot wait for the upcoming episodes. I'm impatient to see the story progress. The magnanimous actions, and there consequences are driving me crazy. And that's tension. The knot that keeps a story alive, the knot that keeps your curiosity burning. And I love it, every single moment of it.
Today's episode...How do I define it? Parth and Niti have come such a long way in acting. Every episode is better than the last. They deliver...and man how amazingly they deliver.
Yesterday I'd watch him bleed and today?
Today I watched Maanik burn.
"Har dil ko hai teri aarzoo...par main tujhe na pa sakoon."
These lines kept ringing in my ears. This flawed man.
Every story has a hero, a heroine and a villain. The hero gets the heroine and the villain is eliminated.
This story though? This was the villain's story.
The villain who mocked her emotions and her relations.
The villain who had hurt her at every point in her life.
And the villain who'd fallen deeply, madly, irrevocably in love with her.
And this villain? He's not selfish.
He's selfless. Maybe he could've thought how will it affect him, that he needs to tell it all to Nandini, that he needs to tell Dhruv that he can't leave her because he loves her.
But this villain? He doesn't know the word me.' Not when it comes to his friends.
So he killed himself. He sacrificed his love and he burned in agony.
Manik is not just selfless, he is also impulsive. He is used to taking decisions he deems correct because that's what's asked of him. You're our leader, you won't let us break. And he doesn't. Nobody questions his decisions. Manik sees things as problems and his mind works best ways to resolve them.
Nobody has ever told him how much he'd hurt himself with those decisions. Nobody ever told him that maybe, just maybe, every decision he ends up taking won't be right. It'll be wrong, it'll have consequences.
He thinks he can do it all. But boy has he underestimated the power of love?
He told Cabir that nothing is impossible. That if you're set on it you can forget that person you love, you can move on, you can let go because that's what he believes.
I can't have her. Dhruv loves her.
I will let go.
I will step back.
I will make her hate me so she can love another.
That another who won't be.
I can get over her.
This is his belief. He thinks he can.
But he is going to find out. Manik Malhotra will find out the weight of wrong decisions. Manik Malhotra will find out that he's not as invincible as he likes to believe. Manik Malhotra will find out that he CANNOT get over her. Manik Malhotra will find out that he cannot see her cry. Manik Malhotra will find out that every moment apart from her is a moment that's lifeless. Manik Malhotra will find out that he's defeated because he cannot live without her.
And every moment until then? Every moment until then would be a moment where his love for her would win, strengthen, overcome and come out victorious. Every moment till then would be hell and heaven. Hell because no more is his life his. It's hers now. Hell because he won't be able to see her with another, hell because he'd loose and hurt and ache and burn. But heaven?
Heaven because he'll soon find out the depth of his own love for her. Heaven because absence makes the heart grow fonder, heaven because Nandini Moorthy will soon teach him new lessons.
Lessons in love.
Lessons in belief.
Today's episode was beautiful. Yes it was heartbreaking but the pain was so slow, and soft, like a knife wrapped up in silk. Like the first indication of a storm coming. Today he broke her heart, today he broke his own heart even more. Today he told her and himself that he's a monster, that she deserves better. Not a man like himself, never a degraded, disgusting man like him. Today he taught her his worth, the worth he has given to himself, the worth he thinks belongs to him, and that's worth nothing. Today he shattered her dreams into a million pieces because that's who he is supposed to be. He's supposed to burn so he can give light to his friends, he's supposed to sacrifice because they're the only family he's ever had.
Today he clenched his mouth with his fingers to stop his own muffled screams, his hiccups, his tears, he rubbed at his face again and again because he had a part to play. Today he became ruthless again, but his eyes told another story.
Today he let go of her.
But his heart wasn't ready.
Today a little piece of him died inside like a flower shriveling to its death.
Today he watched her crumble and her dreams break.
Today he destroyed her and himself.
Today he did what he thought was right at the cost of his life and hers.
But I cannot wait for tomorrow.
Because every tomorrow that'll turn into today he'll learn a lesson.
Tomorrow he'll learn that love cannot be forgotten nor denied.
Tomorrow he'll know that every action has a consequence.
Tomorrow he'll learn that he's not invincible.
Tomorrow he'll watch her break and mend again.
Tomorrow he'll know she's not just his love, she's his life.
Tomorrow he'll learn how wrong he was.
Tomorrow he'll learn that he is incapable of living without her.
Tomorrow? Tomorrow he'll just love her a little more.
So sit back and enjoy the ride.
Because this story is anything but ordinary.
