I understand his position and guilt. It is high time for him to be stern with her all the time. The day when Sai was stopping Virat, Pakhi stopped Sai, he should have stopped Pakhi to come in between him and Sai before Sai had stopped Pakhi saying Bas. He needs to show Pakhi, her place especially when she interferes in the matters of him and his wife even if that means that she is his brother's wife. He has stop feeling guilty to some extent. Guilt is something one has to come out on their own, it is very difficult to come out of otherwise.
Also, I have always thought that even if she wants to go to her maayka, he should let her. Even in the past, it was the right thing to do because he was stopping her from moving forward in her life for his brother's sake. In the present, he knows that she has absolutely no feelings for his brother, so he should let her leave if she wants to. We all know that she is trying to use that as a weapon but her going to her maayka could also help her get rid of the feelings she has for him. If he lets her go, she will also be compelled to think that she doesn't matter to him at all (not as Samrat's wife but as his lover), she will be made to face a harsh reality. At the moment she keeps discarding everything that he is saying thinking his feelings might get rekindled or that he might again develop some feelings for her looking at her care and concern for him. If he lets her go to her maayka, she will know that he doesn't want her anywhere hear him and her not staying in the house doesn't matter to him.
I am not blaming Virat but Virat cannot decide for her. She is not just his brother's wife, she is a woman who deserves to move on in her life if her husband is MIA and especially when she has hardly lived a day with her husband. In real life, parents would have taken their daughter away. Some might wait and some might not and in this case Virat knows that Pakhi has no hopes or interest in her marriage, so it doesn't make sense to stop her from leaving to her parents place. She will have more freedom in her place. Even if she decides to wait for Samrat, it should be her decision, not Virat's wish.
Also, it is not just enough if Virat draws a line with Pakhi or acts stern whenever he is upset with Sai. He should be strict and stern with her even when everything is going on smooth between him and Sai. He should not be trying to provide any emotional support to her until he is not sure that she has no feelings for him. He should let other people including his Aai to help Pakhi or to convince or console Pakhi even when something goes wrong. He cannot act like a friend with her when she has feelings for him, he just cannot. It is not going to help him.
