I rewatched Ayesha’s IV and felt every word she spoke. The writers are portraying Mannat’s current situation in a deeply poetic manner. A child born out of hatred, left on the seashore to die, is protected by a god-sent angel and entrusted to Shruti, who ultimately gives her life for her. Just moments earlier, Shruti learns she is pregnant, and within moments, both god sent people are taken away from her one due to hurt and anger, and the other brutally killed. Once again, on a stormy night, a lifeless Mannat is given a new life in the form of Dua, whom Babaji sends into her world. Unknowingly, Vikrant transfers his title of Babaji da banda for their daughter to Mannat. With Shruti’s death, Mannat buries her love for Vikrant deep within herself, leaving only anger and pain visible on the surface. Dua will be the only key through which Vikrant can open Mannat’s heart again. Mannat may reconcile for the sake of the child, but her heart remembers the pain of loss, the years Vikrant was absent, and how she alone carried both her role and his responsibility for the family. During those seven years, Vikrant has crossed the first stage of losing his family. Now he will enter stage two where he meets all of them again. His changed world, and their separate yet parallel lives, will create a continuous push and pull of emotions. This stage will redefine equations and emotions for everyone involved. It will be interesting to see how Vikrant reacts upon meeting Rotu, how Gagan responds after learning about Mannat’s daughter, and how Rotu reacts upon discovering Vikrant’s new life and so-called family. Mannat’s words while standing before Shruti’s body apne eham ko side mein rakhna apne bache ke liye were a promise she made to Shruti. That promise will be fulfilled and will set the stage for phase three of Manvik’s journey. Dua will bring her parents back under one roof, though Mannat will resist, while Vikrant will be determined to win her back from the depths of her heart. As Addy mentioned, Vikrant’s love was taken away without his knowledge. And as Moor pointed out, decisions were made on his behalf his people were removed from his life one by one, and he was trapped in fake family bonds. The writers beautifully contrasted how Rotu’s fake family turned real once Vikrant entered their lives, while Vikrant’s life for seven years was bound in fake relationships the moment Vish entered his world. Purely based on what Addy and Ayesha shared through their IVs, all tracks will remain interconnected, unfolding gradually in phases. The leap brings freshness, and I hope the makers do not disappoint. The layers added to the story are strong when viewed through the lens of seven years so much changes in everyone’s life over such a long period, and the same has happened with Vikrant and Mannat. Let’s welcome this phase with positivity.
