If Nandini doesn't want to be touched for the next two weeks or two damn months. It is HER decision. It is her body, her right, her decision to permit touching.
But it has been violated -- someone who she thought was a mentor -- a person who you give respect to and who gives you knowledge and helps you grow -- mentally/emotionally/physically and damn well sexually violated her . Touched her body like it was his right to do so.
Last night she was in shock and she would have let anyone touch her. Victims tend to react to their abuse later in many cases -- they react after coming out of shock and it could be weeks, months and years after an incident. Some people never come out of it.
Yes, the girl is damn strong if she tries to keep her feelings and emotions, her reaction on bay to get shit done -- which is to get her abuser behind bars.
She faced her abuser second time -- just a day after it happened.
She came out of shock, she will react ... it might be irrational, intense and brutal. If people can't deal with it then GTFO.
It is her wanting to regain her right, her control over what is hers and only hers -- her body. And Manik will be there for her but he is also the only guy who is allowed to touch her like that, who she has given the right to touch her romantically/sexually.
Right now if she is coming out of shock and behaves violently, expect it.
If you want her to swoon and fall in the arms of her rescuer and be romanced - Again,
Thank you for these words! I guess i need to copy and save this emoji tooπ
This. each word of this.
I agree with you!
Her body, her mind, her heart, her BLOODY LIFE.
LET HER LIVE IT HER WAY.
She needs to deal with it, come to terms with it: her mistakes, her beliefs that have taken a rough beating, her experiences to learn from.
I am glad they showed what they did today.
Today, I'll just leave it at that.
