Since the precap for this week started airing on Saturday, i have been heart broken thinking about Sai leaving Virat. The ring flashback was specially poignant. Based on the BTS shared afterwards, it does look like Sai doesnt leave the ring, i hope that is true because it makes sense to me, or at least i can justify that based on the sairat conversation at Sai's birthday 😊
I remembered the scene but not the details of their conversation so i watched that episode again to refresh my memory. Even though Virat had bought the ring with different feelings but when Sai wanted clarification on that he said it was a birthday gift and not a husband's gift of love. I am going to ignore the unnecessary miscommunication this added and focus on the fact that it was a birthday gift.
Also, Virat was very clear about her wearing the ring even when they have fought or he has disappointed her. This seems to have been foreshadowing for the current situation. She is disappointed in him and they are fighting.
Something else that Virat said in this conversation which makes more sense now is that if Sai decides to leave him then he wont meet her again. He says he doesn't live in the past and would not look back at their relationship. Hearing this conversation really explained Virat's current behavior. He will not force her to stay with him if she has made up her mind to leave him. I think Virat now needs Sai to make a move towards him, after the anniversary fiasco he will not risk his heart again.
So i am hoping Sai leaves wearing the ring. I am prepared to witness more heart break this week by Sai's resigned determination and Virat's indifference and hope the sairat magic will return when Sai needs Virat after the accident and Virat will be there for her.
