DAY 65! - "Forget it!"
"Don't take her call...forget it".
Forget it Nandini...forget Navya's call for a second. Forget it Mukti...forget Harshad for this lifetime. Forget it Cabir...forget your struggles on this trip. And just let it go...let yourself go...let all worries go...let all the pain go...
Forgetting was difficult for him too...he fought with his clouded mind to forget all his dark memories. He fought with his broken heart to forget the pain of his disjointed childhood. He fought with himself to forget his impolite anger...and she fought with him at every step in order for him to embrace love. In order for him to discover emotions. In order for him to believe in trust. In order for him to love life. He forgot his past when she reminded him of his present...And today he wishes for her to forget it all. Forget her recent past...so they can step into their dreamt of future.
Forget it Nandini...forget the fight with yourself. Forget the pretentious mask you're struggling to hide behind. Disregard every voice of the mind because it's lying to you. And listen to what my heart has been wanting to whisper to you since yesterday. Listen to what my heart wishes to confess to you today. Listen to what my heart has in store to promise you for our tomorrow. Forget the annoyance my teasing words have been causing you...and instead let our eyes carry the conversation. Forget all the times I lied for you not being the reason for my travel to Mangalore...and listen to the truth; "Ke I've come all the way...for you"
Forget it Nandini...forget the distance you're trying to maintain between us. Forget that "you want to stay alone...away from me". Forget that you had asked me not to follow your footsteps. Forget that you had plead that I leave your heart to beat alone. Forget that such a promise ever existed, which could become the reason for you to pull yourself apart from me. Forget that I'm in pain...and let me calm your terrors. Forget that my finger was bleeding minutes ago, forget that my heart is aching upon your ache, forget that my delinquency is slaughtering my inner self with sharp knives...and let me bandaid your grooves, let me numb your throbbing heart, let me rescue you from your self-blames. Just once...just this time...just forget that you have to take care of me...and let me attend your shattered state.
Forget it Nandini...forget the veena which was once your musical companion...and find a new beloved in the strings of my guitar. Forget the horrendous tune that your music reminds you of...and hum a new song with this new music you wish to embrace. Forget the classical tune which will repetitively redeem the nightmares you're trying to forget...and discover a new passion in the contemporary melody of my music. Forget that our music ever differed, forget that our voices every sung alternate songs, forget that we ever played distinct instruments...let's combine our music, let's hum the chorus of our new song in harmony, let's play a mutual tune on these strings...together.
Forget it Nandini...forget the eerie sounds. Forget the haunting reminiscences. Forget the ghastly tortures. You don't have to rush, I promise to never demand that of you. You don't have to attempt alone, my love assures you of that. Forget that you'll ever have to struggle alone..."Listen...main hoon na tumhare saath". Forget that you'll have to face darkness alone...my love will glow for you. Forget that you'll ever have to confront your fears single-handedly...I'll eradicate all roots of fears with my own hands. Just don't forget to trust me...don't forget to hold me beside you...don't forget to keep me intertwined in your soul...
"Manik sorry...tumhara guitar...I broke it"...
Forget it Nandini...forget that you broke a mere guitar today. It's not more precious than you. "Let it be...you can't fix it". Forget the guilt which is pushing you to be so hard on yourself. Forget what seems to have broken and instead peep in yourself to notice what's being fixed. Forget that your hands fumbled and caused a blunder and instead realised how your heart courageously attempted to find what you had thought to have ost...music..."what matters is, you were trying to play". Forget that we've lost my guitar today...rather joy that we have found a part of you today.
Forget it Nandini Murthy...just forget it! Forget your stubbornness for a few minutes and listen to me carefully. Forget your guilt trip of "I'm feeling worse", and concentrate on my syllables. Forget what we're fighting for at this stage and consider why are we even arguing? Forget who's right and who's wrong for now and pay heed to why are we even in discrete teams. Forget that angry glare which somehow is reflecting my own frustration and focus...focus on your smile...your..."hasi"...
You want to let it go...don't bluff, because I can see it in your eyes. You want to tear apart the transparent mask you've worn to conceal your hearty emotions. You want to forget about that blank promise and come running back into my arms. You want to forget about the crease you've chalked between us yourself and let our love reunite once again. You want to forget about your battle with yourself to walk a few steps ahead of me and let me catch up so we can walk hand in hand like old times.
Then why the hesitancy...why bother with the exertion of keeping yourself apart from me...just forget it Nandini...forget all your worries and come back...
Forget we were ever stormed apart...forget a villain ever intruded into the lives of our perfect love story...forget that we were on the brink of losing the gift of our touch...and come back. I promise our love will only inch us closer so it would seem as if we never separated. I promise our love will erase all distances, so there remains no room for any future interruptions. I promise our love will re-strengthen the beauty of our touch, so we never have to fear losing it again.
You've always been that tad bit more stubborn than me. And so I know you won't forget so easily. But what if I make a promise to forget my sorrows as you begin your attempts to forget yours? What if I say that just like we've promised to smile together, cry together, fight together...let's both tread on this journey to forget...together...
Forget we ever shed tears whilst being away from each other...forget that destiny pierced our hearts when we couldn't see each other in front of our eyes that dark night...forget that fear which drowned our hearts upon the possibility of never being able to see each other again...forget that we're both hurting...we're both bleeding...our hearts...they're both weeping...
Let's forget Nandini...and start afresh...
Let's forget old tears and grin healed smiles...
Let's forget old wounds and kiss them wishes of a speedy recovery...
Let's forget old fears and embed seeds of hope in each other's hearts...
Let's forget old guilts and search for positive laughter...
...Forget yourself today Nandini...and merge yourself into me...
You said it yourself... "tum mujhe akele kahan rehne doh ge Manik...I have to live with this...aise hi tumhe jhel na padega, and it's...okay"...
So forget your tears today Nandini...and make me your smile...
Forget treading towards an unknown direction today...and let me take you home...
"Kya khoob rab ne kiya...bin maangein itna diya...
Warna hai milta kahan...hum kaafiron ko khuda..."
Forget all I've ever showered you with till today...and let me shower you with much more now...
Forget that I may be a blessing for you...and let me worship you like my own god...
Forget how much I had professed to love you yesterday...and let me proclaim to you the new depth of my love...
"Haan hasi ban gaye...haan nami ban gaye...
Tum mere aasmaan...meri zameen ban gaye..."
Forget how we had fallen in love before...and let's fall in love again today...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like Nandini said in the episode "uff"...this episode...it was too much! Too many feels...too many emotions...and whilst they drowned in each other's needs...I drowned in MaNan pheels!
Uff...that kiss he smooches on her fingers when she tells him how she would have bandaged him...one kiss miss...but this one definitely hit! š
Uff...Harshad and his plans...Not good not good...
Uff...Aryaman may just be melting a little more...me likes me likes...
And as I say my toodles...tomorrow will be another "uff" moment...as our Nandu's memory will be flooded with tormenting images. But the beauty of it is the ratio of her "good memories" with water is definitely greater than that "one bad memory"...so this time...she'll definitely listen to the heart to "forget it"...forget that one bad memory and embrace those good memories gifted to her by her Manik!! ā¤ļø
