But was ever a monster to begin with? I saw him as an alpha male, protective of his loved ones. He would ruthlessly punish the people who came in the way of his people but if you keep your distance and let him and his friends be in peace, he would return the same favor to you. His heart was then filled with anger and pain, leaving no room for regret,love or hope. She entered his life, with just one punch she brought out the suppressed anger, his hate to surface and took it all in . She was pulling away his mask, forcing him to repent for his actions. So he lashed out on her, he tried to scare her away. But she slowly tore his mask off, taking in all his hate and filling his heart with her warmth. She gave him strength to feel the emotions. She gave him the strength to be himself.Loved the whole mother- son conversation. She laid the bait, hoping that he would fall for it.But curbed his impulsive anger, heard her taunts, told her it was neither the age nor any other external element can stand in the way of their love. He never once lost his faith in his love, in their love. I am so proud of him.The slap!! It was ultimate. Never did I think that two people slapping each other would give me so many feels But loved the writer's thought behind the slaps. It was slap of reassurance for him and the slap was a reminder for her. Her slap told him that the fighter in her is still there, fighting against those dark shadows while his slap made her realize that no matter what she would always fight for herself. She was a fighter and she would never bow down to those haunting memories. He would always be there to remind her, to stop her from numbing down her feelings and from escaping the hurt. She would have to face it all to let it go.The CaVya scene was brilliant. Loved that he pointed out the difficulties she would have to face in the upcoming months. The reality check was much needed.That hug was everything!! Loved it!!When she asks him if it hurts, and touches his cheek, he was so surprised and her initiating the contact. He slightly tilts his head to kiss her palm and she withdraws her hand. I loved this scene.Her fear of not being able to play veena, of not going back to being the girl she was before was so well portrayed. Loved how she spoke her thoughts.And the hug He needs it, he needs her to give him the strength to fight for her, so that he can be her strength the next day. And she understands his need and gives it to him. And he is so scared and surprised to fully embrace her, he tentatively holds her by her shoulders. His smile then, it was so beautiful and serene. The whole scene was so poignant. Loved it.
This was just terrific!! Got to be one of the most beautiful piece of analysis I've read on MaNan! Brilliant babe! <3
I exceptionally loved your first paragraph...the way you described the protective nature of Manik and how that was always the cause of his uncontrollable anger. It's almost like his defence mechanism...to protect his loved ones from any pain or danger. You know they always say that whilst Lions or other wild animals may be dangerous in appearance, aggressive and powerful in their acts and strength, their heart are rather weak. They fear the outside world...they fear trespassers because they're afraid they will be harmed. And hence they always roar louder, they fight stronger to block out the outsiders and protect themselves and their family. That was Manik Malhotra...as strong and fearless he may have seemed from the outside,his heart was just as fearful and weak from the inside. And Nandini was the first one to see that fear, to see past his mask and notice that little boy who had been forced towards darkness at such a young age who was scared of their world, the darkness, the people, the emotions. He was scared of smiling for crying out loud. Scared of the whole idea of life. And hence he would always push everyone away using his anger so he never gets hurt, so no one could mock his weakness...so no one could ever realise that he actually feared life.
Today...he understands Nandini's fear better than no one else because he's lived with that fear for the last 19 years. This wasn't how he had hoped to reveal the truth to her...he had wanted to show her the ugly side of panditji, but only when he was sure that she would be brave enough to absorb the truth. He had wanted to hold her in his arms when the truth would have been revealed so he could prevent her from shattering. But today, as much as he's trying to stay strong for her and fight for the both of them...his guilt is still rising every time she flinches or she goes in shock. He is hurting inside thinking that he could have lost her completely to darkness like he lost himself back as a child. And whilst he will pull her out of the darkness in the upcoming days...he needs her to fuel his strength because he is lifeless without her. Like you said...that hug...he needs it...possibly every night so he can wake up the next morning, ready to fight this battle again.
Saying it again...this post is really frame-worthy! I can't thank you enough for writing a lengthier response! Just marvellous!! đ¤
