DAY 57 & 58! - Result!
"Result? Result kya hai yeh mai tumhe ab khud bataata hoon...she turned the monster you had created, into a human"
She's turned him to become the Manik he could be...he should be...Nandini's Manik.
Confused Nyonika? Don't be...because like you were told today... "Love is beyond you"
It requires a heart for it to be felt. It's necessary for someone to possess a soul in order to live love, breathe love and feel its presence. And you seem to be the one we all pity today because, you have neither one of these to recognise the true strength of true love.
The true love which holds the capacity to remain standing, blossom and continue to flourish even in the harshest conditions of mother nature. Be it you, that demonic pandit, any living Harshad or upcoming Mogambo...they've passed every test with flying colours of their love and the results have always been a stronger and an even more trustful bond.
A horrific night may have resulted for some temporary clouds of gloominess to overshadow their happiness, but their true love vows to out-bright all the darkness that dare cross their path. A devil's attempt to snatch her away from herself may have resulted in the loss of a smile, it may have resulted in some seeds of fear to have dug up their own pods in her heart, it may have resulted in the disappearance of some self-confidence, self-esteem and trusting abilities...but their true love promises to reintroduce her to her lost self so his heart can breathe a sigh of relief too.
They say everything happens for a reason, and they also say that whatever happens is always for the best.
Her panicked state on DAY 57 was indeed that first quake which awoke her lost state to react as the Nandini he's always known. The Nandini he can so proudly say to as "that's my girl". It crushed his soul to see his words have no affect on her that day! Her traumatised eyes failing to recognise him as her home. The attack! It compelled him to reach out and shake her to reality. The attack! It forced him to raise his voice in an attempt to make her aware that it was his love that was calling out to her. The attack! It resulted him to take that one step for which he died a 100 deaths himself.
The result; His slap! A result followed seconds after; Her slap!
His patience today is the result of her unconditional love. His ability to fight the darkness is the result of her promise to shine for him every day. His belief in true love is the result of her assurance that their love will live for hamesha.
Her love has taught him to seek happiness for himself. Her love has taught him to trust on the emotions of the heart. Her love has taught him to believe that there was never a monstrous side to him.
Now the journey begins for his love to conquer all battles of darkness and teach her that their love can never be lost. That she will never lose.
She smiled a little today...the result of his love-filled words in an attempt to describe what she means to him. His words will never do the rightful justice...she is someone who cannot be weighed amongst other beings Yet "special" is what will have to do for now. Her smile is special to him in its own mesmerising way. Her soul is special to him in its own priceless form. Her heart is special to him in its own loving ability. Her presence is special to him in its own peaceful act. Her tears are special to him because they are for him to wipe every time they are shed. Her stubbornness is special to him because it means he can see her joy at every victory where he lets her win. Even her anger is special to him because it reflects the Manik that lives deep down in her and surfaces from time to time when she becomes frustrated.
She made her way down to the gate today, spoke a few words of her inner fears...the result of his unconditionally patient love, slowly and steadily making her aware of her own self. She's always been patient with him. Patient with his rage, patient with his wounds, patient with his irrational thoughts even. And today he wishes to gift her that same understanding patience. "I understand". He understands that it's not his touch she fears, it's the haunting memories that make her shiver. He understands that he's not the one she's running away from, she's running away from her own self. He understands that it's not his love that she doubts, she's afraid to trust her own heart and its emotions.
A few moments of hesitation, a couple of minutes of fearfulness but when the eyes flutter open they sigh a breath of relief upon seeing his arms open as a patient gesture. How could he not...how would he not...he's promised her a lifetime's worth of wait. He's promised her himself for their hamesha and with himself, he's promised her all his time, all his care, all his understanding, all his hope, all his patience, all his courage, all his love...but more than everything...all his respect.
She closes the few step-full distances...the result of her own needs of his warmth. "I need a hug". They are two halves of the same heart so how can her need ever differ from his? The mutual need of some comforting solace in each other's arms. The mutual needs of being able to feel the realness of their love. The mutual need of some soothing effect for the wounds aching inside their hearts. The mutual needs of just being there...in each other's arms...at home...where they belong.
Her love has always pulled him out of the darkness whenever he's feared losing himself to pitch blackness. Today he wishes to walk inch by inch, step by step as her shadow so he can catch her whenever she is fearful of losing her balance. He wishes to glow like her fireflies today so the result is she never utters the words "I'm so lost" again.
Her love has always forgiven him for every blunder that the heart may have unknowingly done. Today he cares to fulfil every wish of her, live by every demand of her because there is nothing that remains in his life that belongs to him any more. He wishes to bring her back home in the coming days so the result is that they never have to feel so lonely again even whilst beside each other.
Her love has always kept him in her prayers, she's always wished for his well-being from her Aiyappa. Today he's ready to bow down before every god to have her smile back. Today he's ready to go to any corner of the world to find that sparkle that danced in her eyes once upon a time so the result is his heart can resume beating again once her ringing laughter returns.
"Manik"...that's the result of her love.
Today he wishes to scream, yell and announce this result to the whole world...that he may be human, but he isn't alive until he sees his own god smiling...

Heard of the saying "Slow and steady win the race"? Then there's no doubt that their Hamesha waala love is not going to loose either. Amidst this race too...some beautiful relationships are developing. Chaachi and Manik have always had an adorable bond, but can I just say it was so heart-warming to see chaacha and Manik bonding yesterday! Especially the scene he puts on his own Tamil accent to respond to chaacha's question of who out of the two should be consoling who? What a beautiful scene!
Quite a cute scene when Navya makes some gujiya for Cabir "as a result" of her happiness and a thankyou gesture for standing up for her and her baby. It will be interesting to see how they both come to the mutual decision of keeping the baby. And in all honesty, I can just foresee the attachment that Cabir will grow with this baby as he will tread on this journey with Navya and then refusing himself to give up the baby for adoption..
So another new journey awaits us. We've always seen Nandini assuring Manik and filling him with the realisation that music is an inseparable part of him...now it's Manik's turn to enlighten Nandini that she was always a born musician too. That she can never let go of music because it's a part of her just like he's a part of her too!
NOTE: So sorry for the superrr delay for this update. But mother nature seems to be liking me now and hence the rain has ceased and my wifi is back lol!
Love All <3
