there is a difference between liking each other physically and liking each other emotionally as people. the latter hasn't happened yet. not to get into romantic novel territory but who is to say that physically it wasn't unpleasant but instead confusing for both of them. that when they touched, there was unexpected sizzle? 🔥 thats why we are perhaps seeing conflicting emotions happen.
I will share a story I heard on radio years ago which I thought would have made an interesting drama. so this lady ended up having a one night stand with her brother-in-law. all of a sudden her husband died in accident and she was in deep depression. her brother-in-law is about 10 years older than her, divorced but was close to his younger brother. so he was trying to look out and would keep checking in on her to make sure she was alright. one night, him trying to comfort her while she was bawling ended up with both of them spending the night. as the lady put it, was super confusing because it wasn't unpleasant and threw both of them for a curveball. while the husband had been very alive, it had been a very formal relationship with distance. that night obviously changed their dynamic.
fast forward a year later, the brother-in-law was now head over feels for her and wanted to marry her. she meanwhile is just confused, feeling guilty and freaking out about what people would say. so she had written to the radio station to ask what she should do and it was interesting to hear very different views from listeners. some thought the brother-in-law took advantage of her. others thought they just bonded over their grief. some were like it is fine to go for a new relationship but just make sure you are ready. many were quite sympathetic to her.
like you and others have mentioned, katha was hardly in the right frame of mind to enjoy the night given her stress over aarav. but then neither was this lady from the radio story. so what happened that night? thats why I was thinking of something like 5% where it wasn't awkward on some level. hence the very domestic vibe between viaan and katha since the night...
I have only one confusion
IC just don’t happens like stories esp when some one has a soul mate .
How can it be !
Either husband or wife / partner was unable to satisfy sexual needs of the other!
The story you told both should be at fault being in a relationship and having sex out side it is very complicated character issue!
It is not like those scenes for some movies “ rain, thunder , or light went off kind of scenario ...It is simple cheating when husband no more , then they can get marry .
She feeling guilty is not needed since it was simply cheating ! If he had raped then it would have been a diff story !
Coming to Katha
Katha went to ONS knowing that what she is going to face .! Viaan was very polite and gentle he even was hoping she would walk out asked her no need to pursue it if not comfortable !
Yes there could be a weired connection between them !
Women have different sexuality than men where they can just withstand sex without feeling any thing .
There incidents where they just take their consciousness or soul out of the situation ! My thinking is that Viaan was gentle and considerate ( definitely enjoyed ) but Katha didn’t !
I mean when the child is facing death no woman with sanity will be in a mood for it !!!!
That is one reason Katha take it “ very hurtful “ but Viaan now trapped . He feels Katha he already awe of her , he needs or love her to be around him.
Now Katha is not thinking of Viaan’s point of view it is all about her ! Slowly once the son is back to normalcy she will start thinking about Viaan's perspectives
Slowly they will understand each other better
This one part which is great about Indian version
emotional connection, depth of the leads , their feelings guilt , blaming self & each other , trauma and hatred , every thing is a way more complicated .. I am loving this !
Viaan at times behaved over dramatic because of this inner conflict ... every inch of his body wants convey what he wants to say !
Katha slowly will feel a pull towards Viaan sooner or later so that story will progress , hopefully the marriage will by stormy as it is suppose to be !
