If you're happy...

Day 41! - If you're happy...

If you're happy...my life is complete! If you're happy... my soul is satisfied. If you're happy...my mind is at piece. Because if you're happy Nandini...then I'm happy!

Your smile...it's infectious. It triggers my heart to grin, my soul to fill with joy. It initiates the formation of my own content smile. Your laughter...it's the most melodious piece of music I've ever heard. I could listen to it every day. And I wish to replay it for the coming years of our togetherness. When you're happy...my fears escape because your smile will outshine their nervous nature any day. I long to see you happy every day of my life because it fills me with the strength to fight against this cunning world. If you're happy...I know you trust me unquestioningly. You believe in me, in my decisions, in my actions and so I no longer fear whether I'm battling it out with a devil or I'm in war with a wicked witch. If you're happy...I know it will all eventually fall in place. The bubble of optimism you possess around you, the ray of hope you carry inside your heart, the boundless love you have to spread amongst people at every stage of life ensures that you're happy. And if you're happy... I know I can never fall weak because you will become my biggest strength.

When you're happy...I begin to understand the real meanings of life. When you're happy...my heart craves to start accepting and experiencing the emotions of life like your heart does. Your happiness symbolises love, life, purity, honesty, joys, trust, excitement, hope, victory, optimism and so when you're happy...I know at some point of life I will be able to experience this delightful emotions too. Our hearts are one, our souls are moulded together too. I can't seem to understand where I finish and where you begin in my life. But I know for a fact that if you're happy...I can let go of myself to you...because you are my shore, your arms are my home, your eyes will enable me to walk the remaining stretch of life and your love will empower me to continue living every day.

"Suddenly I've affected you...you are behaving like me." But isn't that the whole point Nandini? Recently, your actions have been reflecting my personality. But I don't even remember when I lost myself completely to become like you. This story seems too old of a tale. From the day you've stepped into SPACE, till today when we're finally ready to take our first steps together as a couple. My stubbornness escalated because your level of stubbornness was unbeatable and I could and still can do anything to lose any stubborn argument against you, just to see your smile perform a little victory dance. You kept accepting my challenges fearlessly and I kept imposing challenging demands upon you so I could witness that beaming smile of yours when you would win against me every time. I would always trip you over because you would always seem to fall in my arms, and when our eyes used to lock, they used to smile in reunion too. Many times I was the reason for your tears, but sometimes I don't regret those moments too much because my shaking fingers would reach up to your wet cheeks and lightly brush away the pearl of salty water, making you smile a little warm smile of thankyou and in return my heart would smile a grin of relief too. I may have only taught you how to hide behind trees effectively. Or how to unexpectedly turn up at my door step in the middle of an anxious night. Or how to react a little impatiently and irrationally in the emotions of love. But you...you taught me how to smile Nandini. You taught me how to live. How to love.

When you smiled...I smiled. When you cried...I cried. When your heart ached...my heart pained too. When this separation became intolerable for you...my patience shattered too.

You taught me how to be happy. And today I know that if you're happy...the whole world knows I'm happy too. "Manik kitna change hogaya hai na. I mean look at him. Nandini ne sach mai isse bahaut change kardiya. Strange." I know that if you're happy...your heartfelt feelings towards me are no different to what my heart feels for you. I know that if you're happy...there's a part of you that is just as eager to confess your words of love as I am to hear them. I know that if you're happy...I will discover the courage to fight every battle of life. "Finally! Finally your day is here pandit! Aaj raat...it's all over!" I know that if you're happy...it means our hope hasn't vanished yet, it means our dreams, our wishes will be fulfilled. Our hope will win tonight! I know that if you're happy...I will remain happy. I will remain breathing. I will remain alive.

If you're happy...it means that I have utilised my time well in these nineteen years to learn the serpentine skills that were often used by the people living in the world weaved around me. If you're happy...it means the danger for now is leashed and my Nandini is safe from your evil spells. If you're happy Nyonika...it means my talent of portraying myself as a Monster, hasn't faded yet. "But the only regret I'll have for today is ke...somewhere down the life...that I'm going to make you...happy!" I have to lie to keep you happy. I have to continuously divert your "detective aankhein" to keep the truth hidden so you continue to stay smiling. I have to repeatedly name my true love' towards Nandini as true hatred' so your smile doesn't falter for a single second. Because if you're happy...it means I can consistently concentrate on the devil's planned steps. Because if you're happy now...it means the chances of you staying happy by the completion of today's drama-filled night is null.

"Aggar tu khush hai na...mere bina...I won't take that happiness...from you. Mai woh khushil...I won't take it...from you. Never." If you're happy without me Dhruv...I will forget that there was ever a brother, a buddy that I loved more than myself. If you're happy without me...I will tread away as far as I can from your life, so even our shadows never cross paths again. Your presence was the only means of my survival when I had felt I had lost myself completely to this dark world of hell as a child. "Mere tricks kya...mere bare main sabse zyaada jaanta hai." If you're happy to live a life without me...I will walk away as if I never existed. You seem too unpredictable these days. You seem to be gradually transforming into a hateful, unrecognisable individual whom everyone seems to loathe except for me. I can't see you become someone you're not. Just like you claim that you're aware of every thought of mine, I'm aware of every inch of you. You're trying to be someone who you never were. Someone who you can never be. You can never become a monster because we're brothers. You were, are and will always be my first family. Nandini made me realise that my own identity was a lie my whole life. That the monstrous mask I wore was all but a fable. And so if I can't be a monster, you can't qualify as one either. I want to see you smiling, not in pain. I want to see you achieve every success...every gain. If my constant attempts to welcome you back in my life; boils your blood, I will turn around and promise to never look back for the sake of your happiness. If you're happy with this refreshed, independent start of your life, I will never force you to return into the crowdedness of our lives again. If you're happy...I'm ready to sacrifice our brotherhood for the sake of that smile.

If you're happy Nandini...I'm ready to go to any extent to safeguard that smile of yours. If you're happy Nyonika...I know I can stop worrying about you and focus on the devil's evil intentions instead. If you're happy Dhruv...I'm ready to sacrifice my happiness for yours.

If you're all happy...I'm ready to move on with the battles of my life.

...Manik Malhotra

Okay, what was that ? WOWWW. Maybe because I have been so deprieved of your beautiful words, that today I find them extra beautiful . or maybe you are just so immensely talented that your words are sheer beauty. Seriously. I don't know how you understand Manik Maltorta so well and enlighten all of us in this beautiful magical way. I bet this week you did your best week cause like, if the epsidoes were good, you can bet Nandu's fireflies that my Twinkie bear matched them with her kickass writing

Okies...I am so freaking excited to finally be able to rant about me babies. I am pretty sure you know already but still. I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITEDDD. Shall we get this show on the road? Let's go.

Manik Maltorta, a man who is all heart, a man despite being so unloved in his early days holds the capacity to love endless, to selflessly. Such a precious gem he is. He will always put others before himself, their happiness before his own happiness. His friends, his family. His love, his shining star. They will all come before him, this selflessness this man has makes him so special, and so vulnerable. One would wonder how he become the man he did surrounded by such evilness and harshness ? Children are the shadow of their own parents, their upbringing, their values, they gift them to us as they help us grow. But Manik Maltorta had no parents, he wasn't blessed with parents who gave him the right values, the love a young boy needs. No, he learnt to stumble, fall, pick himself, all by himself. Then how did a young boy become a monster ? Because we are our parents' shadow, a reflection of them, a part of them will live on in us. And Nyonika Maltorta has passed on her monstrous ways to her son, taught him how to play mind games. And Manik learnt them, initially just so he could survive and now he plays them so he can beat her at her own games.

For Nyonika Maltorta, he shall wear his Monster Manik mask. Such a smart, sassy lad .With her, he must go down to her level, become the monster she adores so much because this time it counts for everything, his Nandini has to win and for her, he will do anything ! He has a plan, everything has to go according to plan and tonight he has to defeat two evils and let his love win and shine today as he sings his best today with the girl he loves so. Nandini Murthy, his reason for being, the light that illuminates his life; he can do anything for her ! Beautful job with tying in their entire journey and how they have become so much like each other. That's the beauty of love; one tends to bring out the best in each other. Manik has unleashed Nandini's inner courage, he taught her how to be brave, how to stand against the evil of the world, but he has preserved her innocence, her goodness. Manik, Nandini has brought Manik Maltorta to life, literally. She has brought out the tenderness, the goodness in him out for the world to see. She has taught him to live, to smile his beautiful honest smile, taught him how precious his rare laughter is. They have helped each other find themselves while they were finding each other.

Nandini Murthy, this girl reads his heart so well. There is no need to pretend in front of her. He can be himself, he can tell her that he gifted his estranged friend a gift just because he wanted to show his affection. And today Nandini can be bold enough to pull a Manik' and drag her Manik aside. Actually you wrote about their role reversal so well, I don't think anything more should be said.

They say if you truly love someone, set them free. If they are yours, they will retrun. Today, Manik Maltorta has put a stone on his own heart, has put his best friend before himself once again and set his buddy free. No plans, no pleads, no tricks nothing. Today Manik will do something he has never done before, he will walk away. Walk away for his friend, sacrifice his own happiness for his friend yet again. This person Dhruv is becoming, this bitter selfish man. Manik is unable to recognize him, he can no longer see his buddy clearly . Manik wants to remember and cherish his sensitive buddy he always knew. So now, he won't chase him. Manik will always want his buddy to be happy, even if he has walk away from him

When we have someone in our life, we can't appreciate them the right way. But when you lose your someone, then you realize their importance. Today Manik walks and Dhruv is stunned. How can Manik walk away ? Manik is suppose to be his buddy, they are suppose to be buddies for life. Manik has given his free rein, to go off onto his own path, to rediscover himself but does Dhruv really want venture down this new path by himself ? Has Dhruv started ti realize how wrong he has been ? Yeh Dosti, does he really want to lose it ? This fragile, beautiful bond of friendship, brotherhood, does he really want to break it ?

OMGGG, Harshad is back. Manik's harshad, Harshd, Harshad. Well, this promises to get interesting and surely messy. Harshad's return promises to both complicate and simplify lives. His return to Navya and Mukti's lives will leave both the girls a little rattled, waiting to see how the ladies handles themselves. And simplify the past tangles of Harshad, Manik and Nyo for the viewers. We are finally going to get a blast from the past and loopholes shall be closed off.

The monster vs. the devil. It's the night of the final battle. Aaj ratt, one long raat it shall be but both the opponents are ready to give it their all. And am I.

Okies, this feels so damn good. I have missed this so much. So here is my first rant, I hope that you enjoy it :P And you know you were more fab than usual and I can't wait to read all the other responses for this week.

Love as always,

- Reya aka Your Sunny <3

p.s this may have gotten too lengthy, haha, got carried away with my rant.

If you're happy...my life is complete! If you're happy... my soul is satisfied. If you're happy...my mind is at piece. Because if you're happy Nandini...then I'm happy!

Your smile...it's infectious. It triggers my heart to grin, my soul to fill with joy. It initiates the formation of my own content smile.

You believe in me, in my decisions, in my actions and so I no longer fear whether I'm battling it out with a devil or I'm in war with a wicked witch. If you're happy...I know it will all eventually fall in place. The bubble of optimism you possess around you, the ray of hope you carry inside your heart, the boundless love you have to spread amongst people at every stage of life ensures that you're happy. And if you're happy... I know I can never fall weak because you will become my biggest strength.

When you're happy...I begin to understand the real meanings of life. When you're happy...my heart craves to start accepting and experiencing the emotions of life like your heart does.

When you smiled...I smiled. When you cried...I cried. When your heart ached...my heart pained too. When this separation became intolerable for you...my patience shattered too. When you love someone, you want to see them happy..smiling in front of your eyes..remember when cabir went to go suicide and then manik and nandu..manik says in his mind..i want you in front of my eyes happy always.. so he wants to see her smile and anything that will cause her tears or pain..he will eliminate that from her life.. nandu was the first girl to ever withstand his tortures and that caused a challenge for manik himself.. like why isn't she breaking..why isn't she bowing down to me.. and that strong headed belief caused manik to fall for nandu.. so you know how we are in love and we challenge the people we love and we happily lose just to see them happy.. smiling.. like okay tumhari khushi kiye liye main ek to kya sau baar harne ke liye taiyaar hoon.. love how nandu is becoming like manik Malhotra and manik is being all shy type like nandu...so cute!! The tree scene ws aswesome..no one had known that manik gifted the guitar but nandu knew...she could read manik like a book no matter how much he tries to hide it in his eyes or in his smile or in his naughtiness...nandu can always catch him... I think for this FC their hope will actually win.. Manik will take dhruv's place and perform with nandu..making nandu smile in a way that no nyyo or pandit can take it away.. however I did read somewhere nandu gets kidnapped by pandit..even better..aayega maza.. pandit gets some dishum dishum from manna..he needs it..

I do have one concern..soha track needs a closure..manik needs to find out how his devilish mother and that soha dad planned all this ...when do we get to see that..

You taught me how to be happy. And today I know that if you're happy...the whole world knows I'm happy too. "Manik kitna change hogaya hai na. I mean look at him. Nandini ne sach mai isse bahaut change kardiya. Strange." I know that if you're happy...your heartfelt feelings towards me are no different to what my heart feels for you. I know that if you're happy...there's a part of you that is just as eager to confess your words of love as I am to hear them. I know that if you're happy...I will discover the courage to fight every battle of life. "Finally! Finally your day is here pandit! Aaj raat...it's all over!" I know that if you're happy...it means our hope hasn't vanished yet, it means our dreams, our wishes will be fulfilled. Our hope will win tonight! I know that if you're happy...I will remain happy. I will remain breathing. I will remain alive. Manik went from being a heartless monster to a romantic lover to a protector..these changes are showing and glowing in him... like a bright light..a guy who was always covered in darkness is shining like the sun..he shines even more when he is with nandu.. her light is rubbing off on her while his mischievous ways are rubbing off on her.. as for pandit...pandit=3 not bad for a anari khiladi but bechara pandit does not even know what is going to hit in these next two weeks.. that girl is coming pandit to teach you a leasson that YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE BEAST'S BEAUTY.. pandit is like what do I say.. pandit thinks that by having goons hit manik is gonna cause his big win..but if you want to honestly hurt someone and put them in their place. You don't act so rationally..you take your times..in manik's word..planning karne padti hai.. soch na padta hai..kya kya tortures nikaloon.. so manik is not attacking because like a Captain jack sparrow, he is waiting for the opportune moment to attack.. manik is a born player..he does not do anything rationally... he does with nandu but with devils..he plays with them.. he lures them out makes them take the first step.. takes a few hits here and there.. few punches then BOOM!! He attacks and when he attacks jahan bhi chupoge...it will not help you..u will get attack and it WILL HURT LIKE HELLL!! That's how manik plays his games... he loves to toy with his enemies..let them make mistakes while he is preparing then when the time is right.. he hits and attacks and those attacks are full blown hits

If you're happy...it means that I have utilised my time well in these nineteen years to learn the serpentine skills that were often used by the people living in the world weaved around me. If you're happy...it means the danger for now is leashed and my Nandini is safe from your evil spells. If you're happy Nyonika...it means my talent of portraying myself as a Monster, hasn't faded yet. "But the only regret I'll have for today is ke...somewhere down the life...that I'm going to make you...happy!" I have to lie to keep you happy. I have to continuously divert your "detective aankhein" to keep the truth hidden so you continue to stay smiling. I have to repeatedly name mytrue love' towards Nandini as true hatred' so your smile doesn't falter for a single second. Because if you're happy...it means I can consistently concentrate on the devil's planned steps. Because if you're happy now...it means the chances of you staying happy by the completion of today's drama-filled night is null. Loved this scene...ACP nyonika..love how manik always outsmarts her.. and she did believe it.. lets hope she keeps believing it until we get a ilu scnee.. loved the last part where manik says "iss detective ki aankon se kuch bachta nahi hai" nyo has prying eyes on manik and nandu.. bc if she loses manik..she loses her profit and benefits na? these are alwys a treat to watch.. I agree with you that manik still has shades of monster in him which he can easily put on in front of nyo even if nandu has taken all those mask away from him... manik still has his old tricks up his sleeve which saved it for situations like this and in the future with harshad..bc harshu doesnot know that manik and Aliya broke up and nandu is with him..so how manik and nandu gets through this will be awesome to watch but agar separation dekhana hai do it after we get a proper feeling confession from both side..

"Aggar tu khush hai na...mere bina...I won't take that happiness...from you. Mai woh khushil...I won't take it...from you. Never." If you're happy without me Dhruv...I will forget that there was ever a brother, a buddy that I loved more than myself. If you're happy without me...I will tread away as far as I can from your life, so even our shadows never cross paths again. Your presence was the only means of my survival when I had felt I had lost myself completely to this dark world of hell as a child. "Mere tricks kya...mere bare main sabse zyaada jaanta hai." If you're happy to live a life without me...I will walk away as if I never existed. You seem too unpredictable these days. You seem to be gradually transforming into a hateful, unrecognisable individual whom everyone seems to loathe except for me. I can't see you become someone you're not. Just like you claim that you're aware of every thought of mine, I'm aware of every inch of you. You're trying to be someone who you never were. Someone who you can never be. You can never become a monster because we're brothers. You were, are and will always be my first family. Nandini made me realise that my own identity was a lie my whole life. That the monstrous mask I wore was all but a fable. And so if I can't be a monster, you can't qualify as one either. I want to see you smiling, not in pain. I want to see you achieve every success...every gain. If my constant attempts to welcome you back in my life; boils your blood, I will turn around and promise to never look back for the sake of your happiness. If you're happy with this refreshed, independent start of your life, I will never force you to return into the crowdedness of our lives again. If you're happy...I'm ready to sacrifice our brotherhood for the sake of that smile. I wrote somewhere on some one's post that if you are happy without me...than I wont stand in your way.. I will walk away without looking back...I will not take your happiness away from you.. manik matter of fact gave up his happiness for dhruv..he gave up his spot at the fc, he gave up to sing with that girl who is in love with him for dhruv..or yeh baal ki dukaan samajhta hi nahi...but the last look on dhruv's face say he got a shock..that wow manik is seriously leaving me? But in the precap I think dhruv finds out that the plan is fake that's why he said that I know ur plan and you are not suppose to fight for real or hit him for real but hahaha loved how it backfired on dhruv's face like buddy this fight is very much real..we were given money to kick manik's behind..loved how dhruv got pushed by one of the goons...hopefully dhruv gets a reality check tmrw that this fight is not for him or to bring him back..this fight was for manik only so that he can get hurt and pandit can win.. loved how dhruv was bleeding..hopefully he sees the light tmrw...I predicted somewhere that since dhruv is bleeding he will step down from the concert and manik will take his place which will shock pandit.. but not sure.. you know the famous saying..when you keep taking things for granted...one day it will leave you...so same thing with manik and dhruv...dhruv keeps thinking that I can insult manik and he will keep coming back but never did he thought that manik will one day walk away from his best buddy.. the look that manik gave..man that was heartbreaking..as for dhruv.. his last scene seemed like it affected him. Especially when manik says all the best..my heart broke and dhruv expression seemed a little sad if you noticed it... he even remembered during the fc performance..manik gave up his spot for him.. remember manik says "that's dhruv's spot" thoda sa to gaya hai uski dimaag mein.. ab bas baki uski dimaag mein agar jaye na..i will be the happiest person..upar se..HARSHAD IS BACK...LOVE him..missed him soo much.. the old harshad vs manik...the fighting ufff kya fight tha...yeh nyo and harshad are the most aweomest villain in the history of hindi serials..kya style kya class..kya attitude hai.. finally aliya's brother is back... so lets see how everything unfolds... also I think tmrw's episode will be only about fab 5 plus harshad since niti was off.. it will focus on them only.. since manik is getting beaten up..dhruv gets a smack on the face.. cabir Aliya and mukti will come..since the guy pushes mukti..so that should get into dhruv's head rigt.. I just wanna see dhruv's face when he finds out that pandit has done this for manik to separate him from nandu... imma scared bc manik is getting hurt..my dil to bahut royega...manik has been hurt so much and I wonder what will nandu do when she finds out about this... that pandit has sent goons for manik.. hopefully all goes well and to add spice harshad enters.. so bahut drama hone wali hai bhai.. so get some popcorn and enjoy it..also I wanna add this part when manik gives him the gift of a new guitar.. it was the most sweetest scene ever... how he wishes his friend despite having so much hatred thrown at him.. thank god nandu knew about it but what dhruv did was just too much.. but still manik didn't say anything..all he said was that this was is ur new beginning and I want to wish you all the luck in the world.. all the luck... you are going solo for the first time without your group.. you are going to perform in my spot with MY GIRL so wish u all the best yaar... this is from me to u as a good luck gift.. so sweet of him... dhruv is gonna regret BIG TIME..

If you're happy Nandini...I'm ready to go to any extent to safeguard that smile of yours. If you're happy Nyonika...I know I can stop worrying about you and focus on the devil's evil intentions instead. If you're happy Dhruv...I'm ready to sacrifice my happiness for yours.

If you're all happy...I'm ready to move on with the battles of my life. The battle that manik Malhotra is talking about fighting is for nandu and nandu only..not for his friends not for dhruv or nyo..its gonan be for nandini..its their fight to be together amongst all these villainous venomous devils that are lurking in the shadows to separate them.. his battle is with the devil for his love... so after making sure all these other "side people" are happy... he can finally move on and fight the real battle that is waiting for him in the battlefield..

Loved reading your posts like always... However do share what is your view about dhruv tmw...😳😳😳
