Blockbuster episode if one needs to define it in terms of the quality of script writing 👍🏼
Mesmerising words Eveline 👏 Yes a mirage indeed...Buddy, best friend, Dhruv... The good one, the mask to the monster. The perfect guy for any girl. Dhruv was more than a friend, as u said he was Manik's blessing, the sole purpose of his survival. His need to protect Dhruv at all times made him an unlikely hero. Dhruv was the epitome of everything good unlike the darkness in his life.He gave up on his love for his best buddy Dhruv without much thought. He knew Dhruv will make her happy, bring a smile to her face. " Jo usne kiya tumhaare liye main kabhi nahi kar sakta tha "But the mask slipped. And emerged a stranger who was getting suffocated with this protection, this unconditional care and this friendship. Dhruv felt he was living in the shadows of Manik. He wanted to break free, undermining the very basis of this pure relationship. For him Manik had become an opponent, an adversary, someone who was coming in the way of his happiness and a stumbling block in his relationship with Alya.Manik became the misunderstood here. His protective instincts being termed as dominating. The guy who never once thought about his own life or happiness, always stood there for his friends. Today he walked alone in those very corridors. Broken, weak, shocked, lifeless.Yes Eveline, he had lost the cause to fight. What traumatised him most was that it was Dhruv, not Cabir Alya or Mukti... Someone whom he looked after like his own child. Ignoring the darkness in hugs own life, spreading cheer in his buddy's life. His music doing the healing...These fresh wounds will take time to heal. But Manik will never be the same again...Eveline, what a beautifully written episode. And a word on the last scene and precap. The monster finally gives in. He is shattered. And cannot hide it any more. He needs her and doesn't shy to accept it. And she is right there waiting for him, her arms is where his home is...Parth Samthaan you are Manik Malhotra. Nobody I repeat nobody can replace you. The wide range of expressions and the wonderful transitions; shock, anguish, sadness. Well done 👏 And the " I need you "
