Real life caregiving. - Page 2

I think So too. She looks at it as a need that she can address easily. She has probably got experience taking care of her dad in past too and medical students are often just instinctually better able to attend to sick people’s needs. Like I don’t think any other family member would have stopped Virat from laughing. But Sai did it because she noted that the laughing was causing pain at the surgical site. She was very careful about looking at which medicine was for what reason. The sponge bath was just another in a list of chores. And she felt that a family member should do it rather than a stranger. I thinnk she was very respectful in the way she did the sponging with nothing romantic about it. It was Virat that was lost in her and admiring her doing her task in a focused way.

But I do want them to realize the gravity of these moments in their relationship. Sai should see that Virat wanted her to take care of him not anyone else. She was the first person on his mind when he woke up. Virat should realize that his health and welfare takes priority over all else for Sai. Even people stopping her physically didn’t make Sai budge. She still came, still did everything haq seh. And hopefully the magnitude of how intimate of a moment it is to take care of someone in this vulnerable state in hospital will hit them both.

Yes, infact when Virat asked her why she insisting on giving him a sponge bath when the nurse can do it and he doesn't have a problem. She said she has a problem. And, then he said being a doctor she's doing what a nurse does and once again her reply was before being a doctor she's a wife. But, still nothing has got registered in her mind about the physical intimacy or maybe she's simply ignoring these things. And, even though Sai never felt awkward but I felt Virat did feel awkward.

She felt possessive and took the job and when he asked her she said she has a problem and said that she wasn't in the hospital for nothing and she doesn't want people to talk that she couldn't take care of him. These were things that I believe she told to herself and him without realising the actual reason for her to have taken it up. She didn't want to ponder or analyse her feelings, not because of her denial alone, also because he wasn't feeling well and these weren't her priorities at that time. If it was home, some other time, she might have asked herself if she did it because she feels for him just like how she asked on the day she had applied Alta or on the day she was missing him when he didn't return (Samrat hospital).

Virat probably became conscious because he has feelings for her, he has started to like her proximity, tries to get close to her, is attracted to her, so he started to feel awkward for him to let her do it, he couldn't stop her too though he had tried.

He also kept trying to see if she was feeling uneasy to ensure she doesn't force herself to do it thinking it as a duty, but he noticed that she probably did it as a care taker, as a medical student and so wasn't feeling uneasy.
