"Manik music is the most important thing in your life for you. Apne gusse ki vajeh se usse kharaab mat karo"... How true would have these words been if Manik Malhotra wouldn't have met Nandini Moorthi. How precise sense would these words have made if she wouldn't have taught him the meaning of life, beauty of dreams and warmth of smiles. How non-arguable would the meanings of these words be if he hadn't fallen in love. But times have changed, priorities have changed, his life's aim has changed. Once upon a time, he was merely a college sweetheart, now he's a complete lover. There was a time when he played music through his guitar, his music now originates from his heart. There was a time when his songs were for his fans, now there is only one song in his life; Nandini. Music may be the most important part of his life, but it's merely a part. She...she is his life. The entire reason for his existence. He wakes up every morning with confidence that he'll see her today and sleeps every night with the assurance that there is a morning after every night. She's the reasons for his madness at times and the calm relief for the same madness. His care is for her, his anger is for her. His annoyance is for her, his forgiveness is for her. His tortures are for her and his antidote is for her. She already knows his love is for her... now it's time to learn that his music is for her too.
He had once said that he could die for her. And so when his heartbeats belong to her, what is the worth of music in his life when the one who he plays for isn't in his life. Let me share with you all a little secret today. This fusion concert will not just be any concert. It will be the concert that will witness the victory of true love. It will be a moment when it will proved to all those witnessing, that no battle is too hard of a fight when never-dying love resides withing your hearts. We will not just witness two talented musicians, showcasing their talent in front of an audience... we will be the spectators to the reunion of two heartbeats, two hearts, two minims, two souls. And when they finally reunite, it will be like magic. No longer will there be two of anything, it will only be the echo of one heartbeat, the existence of one heart, the reality of one soul and the playing of a single semibreve.
How can we forget? How can she forget that he's the same Manik who so unselfishly ran out of the auditorium room on the day of his album release. He's the same Manik who sacrificed his future, his friends' future just to be able to see his lady love in front of his eyes unharmed and safe. He's the same Manik who continuously was trying her number amidst of his performance that very same day, with no fear whatsoever of being caught and disqualified. She might not be able to figure out him just yet... but the time isn't far when she'll realise that it is this same music which will become the reason of their homecoming.
Manik had quite a mind-dominating start to his morning today. He had agreed to be a part of this concert with the prime mission of "Torture Nandini Moorthi Part 2" but it wasn't soon after when his guitar played its tune and the lyrics flowed from his heart that his mind seemed to have disappeared from within him altogether.
Yeh Dooriyan
Yeh Dooriyan
Yeh Dooriyan
In Raahon Ki Dooriyan
Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Hum Rahon Ki Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan
As he sung, the pain of separation returned. As he played, the urge to hold her in his arms once again began to weaken him.
Kyun Koi Paas Hai
Door Hai Kyun Koi
Jaane Na Koi Yahan Pe
Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Mein Ja Raha
Janu Na Mein Hoon Kahan Pe
Yeh Dooriyan
He closed his eyes in the hope to find the answers from within his inner-consciousness. The answers that the mind had banned him from asking her. It was almost as if he was searching for these answers in his music. His music, his passion, his love; that had cheated him, and he was almost begging for an answer to his miseries now. Should he listen to his heart or to his mind? What if he welcomes her in his life again and she breaks his trust again? But then what if he let's her go and loses every chance of having her back? He was demanding for the answers to all his distresses. Just one sign... he needed just one sign from his music, his passion, his love that she wouldn't abandon him again... she wouldn't distrust him again... she wouldn't darken his world again. And then there came a point where he got some answers. That heart-melting look of his returned as agony washed through him again as his eyes landed upon her crying face. Her tears were his answers. Her tears once again brought tears in his eyes. Her pain was his answer. Her pain was once again felt by him. Her loneliness was his answer. Her state of loneliness once again overshadowed his need of revenge. Her longing for his was his answer. Her longing of his presence in her life healed the heart a little bit more today. But then when she couldn't live without him, why did she abandon him in the first place? Why did she let the darkness obscure her ability to shine forever for him? Why did she inflict him with such pain that she wasn't able to bear herself. Some questions remain. But that's the beauty of love. Love teaches us to be patient. It teaches us to love unconditionally despite the flaws and faults of our partner. Love teaches us to forgive. It teaches us to drown and then rise again.
This may not be the time for their love to rise just yet... but at least it has begun to surface. It has begun to accept that some moments of pain are necessary in order to earn a lifetime of smiles. Their time will surely come when they will learn to trust again, forgive again, start afresh again.
Now I can absolutely not fullstop and post this write up without mentioning the precap. He claims he can't live with her. But he also accepts that he can't live without her. She is elated at the thought that there is still hope. But instantly he warns her to not keep her hopes high. But she remains confident. "Bring it on Manik. Dekhtein hain keh kaun jeet-ta hai. Mera hope ya tumhari hatred" And so the battle returns... but this time his mind has challenged her heart. In the heat of the moment however, he forgot that she has an advantage. She rules his heart. He may have the memories of her painful betrayal to avenge his revenge but she has the possession of two hearts to fight this battle with; hers and his. And with his heart, she also has his love to prove her own love. His love will infact be her biggest strength in convincing him that it's only him who has the right to rule her own heart.
So as they say guys... let the battle begin! And may the best man win. The only exception in this case will be that it will neither be his win or her win. They will win!
Well here i am. first i was thinking of combining all the comments we have running into one but then i realized how massively long it would get...lol
The sassy, badass Manik Maltorta is back ! since his heart ruled his actions last night with the ice cream love. His mind gave hia heart a hard scolding so today..With this brand new day, the monster is back in form ready to torture ! Despite the fact that Nyo has told Manik to do this 'fusion concert'. Manik is just acting out, acting the role he is suppose to be playing. His sassy, cocky attitude was so typical Manik Maltorta and I have kinda missed him.
Manik and Pandit. I love it when two stubborn people clash and Pandit brings out Manik's sassiness so this is a treat for me. I definitely want more of these two. And Pandit challenges Manik and Manik Maltorta loves challenges. And he respects his music, he doesn't take it lightly and hence he tells Pandit to judge him solely on his music merit. Hope Pandit makes both Manik and Nandini's music careers flourish
And Manik's expressions when Pandit is telling Nyo was such a treat and his dialogues..lol. Loved my boy today.
Cue the role reversal people ! Nandini is doing the pulling and locking them into the class to talk. I don't care what Manik acts like. She totally threw a curve ball at him. There has been too much of uproar on the forum about nandini not respecting his music and such. On the contary, she knows how talented he really is and she doesn't want him to ruin it in the fit of his anger. That is her love for him ! He wants to protect his music, he wants to protect him from himself !
"Manik music is the most important thing in your life for you. Apne gusse ki vajeh se usse kharaab mat karo"...
And you said it. she couldn't be more wrong about it about it 'now'. Music may have been a vital part of his life but since she came, she has turned his life upside down. She should have realized that she is his life now, he already proved it by walking out of his potential album performance. And somewhere the mistrust still lures, she doesn't fully trust him and that's why she believes that he joined the fusion concert just to 'torture' her. She should realize how his previous attempts have already failed making him more miserable and frustrated.
You have a beautiful voice..lovely he says. He may seem like he was mocking her but in reality he couldn't bear another moment with her with his mask on. He couldn't bear listening to her beautiful voice full of concern and false accusations and not want to draw her into his arms. So he walks away first and Manik never walks away from Nandini, ever. Not that i can remember. He spends the last second possible with her, even during the Valentine disaster, He tells her to walk away because he simply doesn't have the strength to walk away from her.
Random moment i loved. The Veena moment. When Manik walks in and he is mesmerized by her and then plugs it to get back to normal..
The guitar strap scene may have seemed a little childish on Nandu's part but there was a deep meaning associated with it for me. Because when Manik so rightfully dives into his girl with the familiarity only a boyfriend would have knowing his girlfriend carries safety pins. I found the scene to quite adorable because i felt like that was the point of it. And since when have Manan been mature that way ?
We are really sadist sisters because even today my beautiful moment is Manik's look to Nandini, one look full of love and pain. Angst wrapped in love. One of Parth's greatest acting talent is his lip syncing. He sings the lyrics like dialogues, emoting the perfect emotions and expressions. Oh the love. The song sequence was rather short but it served the purpose. Manik's heart was back on top !
He is not just singing the lyrics, he is asking her. Kyun Koi Paas Hai..Door Hai Kyun Koi
..Jaane Na Koi Yahan PeWhen he sings, the pain is back, the love is pouring out through his lyrics. The feelings..all of them..were reawakened in his heart, The memories overwhelmed him so he closes his eyes to compose himself but the urge to see her overpowers. And that moment, he opens his eyes and doesn't see her right away. A glimpse of panic. Then sees her in tears and as he sings, he weeps with her..Yeh Dooriyan. This separation. This distance from you is tearing at my heart, it breaking me into pieces. Her tears are his undoing and he knows ! He is hurting just as much. Yeh Dooriyan. This seperation. This distance is from him is painful for her too, she is so lonely without him. And she misses him too !
I am so tempted to bold your entire section on the song sequence because it is all so beautiful. You analyzed them perfectly and wrote it beautifully.
Precap. I am tempted to on about it but something tells me to wait for the entire scene so I shall go on about it on Monday but a huge declaration of Manik's part: "I can't live with you but I can't live without you." Looks like another battle of the mind and heart. Monday will be a treat for us.
Loads of love,
Reya aka Sunny <3
