You know how much I agree with what you wrote! I actually failed to draw out anything out of last episode and this spoiler..Having this messy head.. I am glad you wrote all this because it feels better now..
Talking about Trust which is been in talks a lot, such a superficial meaning of it, yes that's what I can see in form of blames Nandini is getting. Trust isn't that superficial that it can build overnight and break in fraction of second. What we do or say can never be mirror of it. It lies deep down, somewhere unknown and unquestioned, it is the love and absolute you feel, its there when you are at your lowest. Manik doesn't have it. No! He doesn't! His fear of getting hurt doesn't let trust stay. I don't know why but I still have hopes that tonight episode is going to reason well his actions. I am refusing to believe that its that superficial only..i wish there is more to it. Because human grows and this character has grown..I don't know if he still is capable to give it up to his biggest fear. When he was drunk, all he talked about Nyonika. She is the most sensitive spot in his life. She has shaped him, she has made sure that he grows this fear, distrust and inability to get out of this. Nandini happened to him, she changed him. She was the one who made him feel those emotions which were so meaningless to him..he constantly needs her. Bit what if she fails to deliver, she fails to protect him. Does he feel cheated? Yes I guess! How come she couldn't do it?! She always does. In all this, her emotions, her pain and her right to be vulnerable get retrenched. Where any person would sit down and wanna feel self absorbed, she has to collect herself and stand up again to mend things, mend him. I protest this. I totally complain to makers for this.
Manik's vulnerability is not an issue. Insensitivity to Nandu's vulnerability is. She isn't allowed to be because she carries a lot on her young shoulders. Its beautiful to see her mending Manik. Both the characters are so perfectly cased. They fulfill each other. But Nandini has been carrying a bit more than Manik in this relationship. She has equal rights to be vulnrbale, broken and unreasonable. She is human too who can commit mistakes. Majority audiences already want her to be perfect and if spoiler comes true then Manik would join the majority. Even in his books, she cannot faulter.. She has to be what he needs..
Not fair!

Word with you on everything because the purpose of this post was to ask the CVs for balance which indeed lacks in MaNan relationship. Even during and post musicana break up, the root of solution which led to their sorting out everything eventually came from Nandini's side ( in the form of her figuring out and getting Manik to confess that he sacrificed for DHruv). Then new year followed and she was acknowledged as his shinning star but definitely this tag does become too much for her to carry, where she sometimes is made to feel weighed down by it, causing her to stumble badly. That is what happened in frontof the magistrate. Even then, by recounting all of the above, I don't intend to anyway count the 'give n take' of MaNan relationship because Manik and Nandini love each other so they can afford to take each for granted and b themselves with the other. They certainly get that freedom to express themselves as violently or as happily as their instinct guides their emotions to be in a certain moment. Mycomplan is only that, if observed in a certain pattern, the growth in their characters is off balance where Nandini seems to carry the onus around, just because she has somewhat of a lesser damaged history than Manik.
Anyway, Aditi, CVs have answered your hopes by showing a justified reaction from Manik today. He seemed more hurt and focused on only one fact, that Nandini could think him capable of murdering someone or anyone, even if it was only for a micro second that betrayed Nandini but IF YES, then that's what he expressed his hate for. CVs did really well to portray the reproach and his resenting Nandini for betraying this trust he had in her. Manik clearly asked her to answer YES or NO, which she couldn't. Her answer was YES and that's why she didn't mouth out the words fearing that saying it out loud will put a certain finality to Manik's heartbreak, an end for them altogether.
Niti and Parth nailed this scene. Nandini's dilemma, of knowing her mistake and feeling it's guilt burying her more into the ground with every second in Manik's presence, thus rendering her incapable of coherent speech was depicted superbly by Niti.
Manik's hurt, like a slow twisting of knife right into his heart, unable to listen to any explanation of Nadini whether it was Nyonika or Cabir's words or the video...He listened but didn't absorb any of her words, any of her justifications because he was just too hurt imagining that Nandni, who held his hand and guided him out of the darkness (Nyonika), somehow still doesn't have complete faith in his goodness. Parth was excellent.
Writers are good this way, then lend so much credibility to this track and Manik's hurt. Now Manik's character has room to internalise it all, regret and come around. He couldn't see beyond his hurt momentarily because he is so fixated on the idea of being thought a murderer by Nandni. It's only later, when he introspects, that he will realize and be struck by the enormity of what happened to Nadini behind his back.
