I abhored the lucky charm, star, firefly , protect, need of NYE so much because it was pulling them down. It never eased their fear but gave it an escape. So for all it's worth FC atleast cleared it for Manik that he is the one for her, repeatedly, so he is so secure and doesn't even care if she doesn't verbalize it immediately. The patience, the healing, he is giving to her is amazing. The role-reversal is brilliant. That NYE hugs were ruined for me- I blame both Box and you for it, but I am so glad we had that so much i can cherish this.
As much as challenges be their MO, I am so glad that they have moved away from it. There is proper unconditional or the closest thing they can have right now. The toxic thing she spoke during Hospital - the only time she voiced her fears. Gah, this is amazing, the way you see their journey.
Her fear was him leaving her and today even at her lowest , he is there for her. This is assuring to her. And she is not all gone, the little thing today when she closed her eyes gathered that strength and did that finger thing with him- Sigh, loved it . Makes it so mutual. The subtle, yet assertive actions.
What? Why me? I loved NYE then, I love it now and always will regardless. Because I don't view it like you guys do. Yes, I've always wanted more for Nandini specifically but not for MaNan, not at that point. See, at the time it was the best they were capable of and I cherish it as such. He needed an ideal to cling to cuz he was in a very dark place and she needed to be the one who got him out of there no matter the cost/risk to self (a throwback to our early days, would you say?๐)
So even if it was co-dependent and unhealthy, yet still effective as the need of the hour.
I wouldn't say moved away from challenges, so much as evolved from it.. their relationship is in a higher place, they no longer require a stabilizing condition to sustain their equation.. they have learnt to find the balance between themselves..
The toxic track while accurate on paper had too many execution issues and so the intent never carried effectively. This time around the CVs have definitely done better by Nandu, so kudos to them for that.
This unabashed, understated yet very natural way they put each other first now, so openly above and beyond everything else is just so touching.. that precap.. LOVE๐ณ
Showdowns when I'm PMSing pliss.. It will be outright war then๐
@P: LOL.. always happy to entertain๐
