The more this night goes on, the more I marvel at the way it's so heavy for all of them. It's a blow after a blow and as the hours go on, the reactions to it are getting either too drastic or downright illogical. Basically I just want all to shut up, go to their respective room and SLEEEP! For at least 24 hours, don't get out of the bed and sleep it all off. Then get up and react, at least they will make sense then.
Manik's green eye Monster won't let anything happen for Dhruv. The most this breakup will do for Manik is to realize that he just can't function without Nandini anymore. The way he so smoothly steered Dhruv away from Nandini and took it upon himself to drop her home..I was chuckling there. I am astounded by the way all this has happened in one night only. He went on from being all grief stricken to grasping at final chances of engraving her in his mind as he says the final goodbye to him downright and non-guiltily forgetting his promise to himself of letting her go for Dhruv and being, once again, the only person for Nandini. And all this time, Nandini hasn't even been given the proper time to mourn. Manik is just always so there that she has simply given in to the fact that he isn't going anywhere, hence the precap (not gonna talk about it here except just to say ke I am glad for a one day break only. If stretched stupidity is all we're gonna get then Imma enjoy it fully, like a boss š )
I liked how she didn't flinch when Manik hit his hurt hand and just stared at him. Her angry growl, "Why do you always touch me?!" followed by her blank reaction.. aaah! Bliss. Yes, be human Nandini. Take some sadistic pleasure after all that he made you go through. If Manik was being all "I know her" to Dhruv, Nandini was also the same. She knew ke he wouldn't stop pestering her so she just sat in his car and drew away. Manik and Nandini might not know the little things about each other, like their favorite color, food, or little everyday habits. They got attracted to each other for all that deep stuff which mostly gets ignored in aaj kal ke relationships. When Manik was being all knowing in regards to Nandini that she would've gotten off his car, she wouldn't receive his calls, stating that she has some deep self respect and shit, it got me wondering. We get attracted to other person because of the superficial wala stuff, like their music choice is same as ours or they like the same books as us. But unless we know and connect to them on a deeper level, like knowing what makes them tick or what their possible reaction could be to something, and accepting them for that, that relationship doesn't go anywhere. MaNan did that, it was a meeting of souls when they were together. What their shells' preferences were, they wouldn't have mattered much. Had they been together and not gone through this separation, I can so see Manik laughing at Nandini's lack of knowledge about driving followed by him teaching her and Nandini randomly asking for coffee at any time of the day and Manik all attuned to it and obliging of it. Basically, just perfect. And I believe it will be. Because I know they are meant to be, I know they will find their way to each other ultimately. Just like I know ke their souls have met and they are restless for the other half to feel at home. If this whole track is about a MaNan restart, god I hope it is, then it's all about them now connecting on the surface level. Knowing more about the others' normal habits and antics and falling for that...
I've always called Mukti as the most dependent on Fab5 and usually I have said that it a condensing way but today I realized that if she expects Fab5 to always stay the same then she herself also prioritizes them. This time she was all kinds of broken, I doubt it can get any worse than this for her. She was ready to die but one word of knowing that Cabir is hurt and she stopped. This girl has no reason to live for her own. She is alive and breathing only for the sake and due to her friends. Her struggle is every day.. seeing Alya and trying consciously to not associate her with Harshad. She has all the right to be mad and hateful towards Alya, she's just a human. But she fights against it all. Mukti is all shades of weak and strong and God, I want the best for this girl. And the best doesn't come in the shape of a manly man guy who'd sweep her off her feet and never hurt her. But something which would give her the high she seeks from the drugs. A passion like that...I don't see her settling down, not after all this pain. She's so far away from normal. As much as twisted things intrigue me, it would be a bloody tragedy of the worst kind if she gets back with Harshad. God, no. If everyone else's journey is to find a purpose or someone to complete them, Mukti's is to break free. From all this and everything and fly. Away from the hurt and the ease. Like I said, she's all shades of strong and weak and I want her strong to take charge now. Strength to see people in a new light, to forget, to move on, to take the best and leave the rest..
Cabir's mom's reaction was shocking for me but not unbelievable. Being cool is one thing but to be accepting of a social taboo, that's another ball game altogether. I can understand her. She's already a single mom and she has lived all her life to givr her son a life where he wouldn't feel lonely or think that he has an incomplete family life. She is his mother and friend, someone who allowed him to live as he wanted with his friends because she knew that she couldn't provide him everything on her own. Yeah, Cabir has a broken family but unlike others, his only family didn't leave him to his devices only and took an active and supportive part in his life. But that doesn't make Cabir's mom be the most liberal minded person on earth. She let him go free like that so that he wouldn't feel suffocated in the incomplete house of his. Fab5 misunderstood her intentions of being all cool like that. But fact remains, she's everything for Cabir and I would hate it if he's deprived of her. It would be heartbreaking but true as well..coming out comes with all kinds of consequences. Losing the support of the family is the most common one.
All this brings me to the point that CabiNi NEEDS to happen, okay?! Cabir NEEDS Nandini as a friend! And she needs Cabir. These two are fated to be friends AND CVS BETTER NOT FIGHT DESTINY!!!
Chacha and Chachi are the best! God! Murthys are all bursting with adorableness! Nandini sooo needed that cake and hugs. They were assurance for her that she isn't completely alone in the world, there's always family for her. * furiously protects the Murthys* All of them are my babies, okay?!
Navya...tu soti reh. Apne ais dream like reality which only you see, tu uss mein hi soti reh.
