Once I was told by someone that usually when a child is deprived of the mother's touch , he keeps searching it all through his life in various forms and relationships . Because that touch assures an unconditional love which makes that baby selfish for that selflessemotion.Thinking about it when you took me back to the lonely child Manik, it makes sense, he wanted that parental care, the guidance , the love, something so unconditional and absolute. This is why when he was time and again disappointed by his biological family, he sought out to create his own little one. Where he gave his friends, the protection, care , love and his unconditional . Yet the child in him longed, pined and wanted of his own conditional.It is not to say fab5 doesn't love him or care for him , they do just that they realize that he needs to be the leader, the protector, because it makes him happy. And that is why they let him be, with his anger, rage and silence. They will cheer him but not question because for them he is always right.Then came this girl,who flipped his world. She challenged, fought her way through his fortress. She made herself heard, gave him the truth , told him how he was hiding . He is not noble, he is a monster.Fearless- that was her. For the boy who was taught that fear is the most potent weapon , this chit of a girl proved it all wrong. Even with all his might, always it was him who stood there vulnerable, little broken . She was piercing through his mask and fast, before he could stop her. Somewhere he let her do so to, because for once , someone was talking to him, questioning , fighting and making him the sole focus of her world.It was the touch ,her hand stopping him from egging Navya to the time ,She herself gave her hand in his to show her trust in him, the punches demanded he stopped pretending and unmasked him.Touch has changed their dynamics,always - hug the one which told him that she calms yet strengths his spirit, to the first brushes of attraction. it was the kiss which assured that she trusted him completely . it was her almost submission to his touch that made him realize that she too desires him. It was his hand , she held in her own and worried .Heck their journey started because of a touch- the fates danced with glowing fireflies at that touch even when they were so near and yet so unaware of each other.So now when she puts her finger on his lips and shushes him, he calms down, because she willingly touched him, letting him know that she is there with him, even now.Care, concern and love, unconditional and that is what her touch has become for him. The unconditional that touch brings assures him that she will be close to him , that she will never give up on him and shine forever. It is his way of expressing her what he is never able to say to her. The touch is his security cover.But then when she expresses , demands more from him as her haq, he understands , he respects and he desires it too. If she wants his friendship , he will give her that, because he cannot deny her anything. Her smile, her big button like hopeful eyes will always have him wrapped around her little finger. As long as she is with him, he is ready for this leap of faith - he will try the "friendship" thing. Where he will learn to make her laugh, smile- the thing he always thought he couldn't do. This will teach him that even when she is not around him, his star will shine for him. And perhaps , give the confidence to confine in his new special friend about how much he loves her .Flamey - Rida and you make me so proud every freaking day. I adore you babies. You love, just keep blazing this gloriously , shine away my sun. This magic is powerful and so needed. I be such a happy soul today.
