Parth And Niti (PaNi FF): Professionals At Work

Chapter Two: Alienated.

  I couldn't thank my stars enough.

Irrespective of the fact that I had tried hating him for his professional talk yesterday, I needed just a timely hug before I could bid adieu to him and all my hopes of ever reconciling with him..Thank you Richa ma'am for this scene ! It was needed.

MaNan were supposedly going to have a break up on Musicana day and this hug at 3 am in the night was like their good bye hug. Manik was supposed to take a step for Dhruv and sacrifice his potential soulmate because Dhruv loved Nandini .

Just like Parth's goodbye hug to Niti.

Initially this track didn't make sense to me but then Richa ma'am made it a point to explain all the intricate details of this track.

Apparently Dhruv was closer to him than Nandini was ! Yes, Nandini was his soulmate, the love of his life, who had begun transforming him into a human, but he hadn't realized that yet.. but Dhruv..he was like his childhood buddy who was so very important to Manik, more than anything else ! His bond with Manik went deeper than Manik's bond with Nandini did, at least at that particular point of time and hence Manik had made this decision of drifting apart from Nandini. This was exactly why he wanted to come and hug her at the middle of the night because next day they were going to call their relationship off. He couldn't get enough off Nandini.

Something just got me to think regarding my bond with Parth. We were close ! No doubt about that, we were close before , before he decided to cut his ties with me and designate me as a thorough professional and himself as a thorough co-professional. Just yesterday we had had this professional talk and today I was hating this word.

I had to tell myself that the reason he had done this was because his girlfriend mattered to him more than I did. I was just his friend before and his girlfriend was umm way more closer to him than he ever was to me ! He was bound to take her side and do stuff to make her happy. Just the way Manik did with Dhruv and in turn hurt Nandini.. The same way Parth took his chance and spoke to me, and obviously hurt me in the process. In the story Manik was supposed to be suffering equally bad as Nandini was, but in reality did Parth feel the same ? Both the situations had him or his character giving up something for someone who was close to them, and in return hurting the third person but did Parth feel the same way as Manik did ? I didn't know. I knew he had considered me to be a very good friend back then, but did he really feel the same way now ? His words didn't really seem to go with that.. Really..Maybe that's where Manik and him differed. Manik was suffering badly, but maybe Parth wasn't ? Maybe..

Words can't express the intensity of that hug ! We had hugged before on the show, of course but this one midnight hug took me to a different world ! I had to be happy as Nandini because Nandini was already in her dreamworld of having found a soulmate in Manik but on the other hand he was going through the pain of separation which he hadn't told about, to Nandini, yet ! The way his hands wrap around me and the way he encompasses me into his frame makes me forget all the sadness around myself in a jiffy and experience that one feeling of warmth , contentment, security, happiness ! It almost feels as if he's there as my protector, no matter what..uh.. Nandini's protector, I corrected myself.

"Niti, here these people want to take a small byte. Tumhara and Parth ka." The spot dada said and I went over to the interviewee. Parth and I gave a small segment and I noticed him being tired ! Damn these night shoots !! When are they going to get over ?
