@jaya the call was official. Radhika confirmed it from Prathiba bua. For me the child is stabilized but was in critical condition in ICU. And Abhi was the only person there. Anything can go wrong if you have someone in ICU.
if he had to take the call he should have informed someone a nurse and told he is outside any issue just come outside. You do that. You dont rush like that.
Talking from experience of staying in front of ICU ward continuously for 3 days and then in ward for another 3 weeks continuosly when my mom had pace maker.
My mom was fine at 7am in the morning when she was in observation in ICU. They were supposed to discharge her. My dad had come home to take breakfast. Only thing he did was he gave my number and his number in case of any emergency. He told he will be back as our house is just 5 mins drive from hospital.
When he was having breakfast the call came from hospital telling my mom's condition is serious her BP was moving towards zero and they were moving her to temporary pace maker and they need someone urgently out there. We literally rushed to the hospital where many demands were made on us including some medicines, signature of papers etc..
Whenever I used to come in the morning after staying over night in hospital if my dad has not reached I will inform staff nurse. My dad used to do the same when he has to leave in the evening and my office bus is late. Reason is the people should know where you are especially in delicate situations.
It was not about father sitting or mother sitting. It was about responsibility. You are the only one there. You have taken the responsibility. It is a delicate situation, please inform the concerned person.
In professional sphere we call it back up plan when just one of us is responsible for something critical. A back up plan is expected. Do you go and tell in office when things burned, I had to do this or that. You will go only after back up plan right. Every responsible professional does it. It is the same in personal life. Whenever you own something, you have to be responsible.
Did Abhi had any issue in just telling the nurse , if there is issue with Diya I am just standing outside. Please come there and call me. The nurse instead of standing and searching would have walked out and contacted him. Simple.
He took the official call because that might be important. I am fine with it. But he should have kept the back up plan for the task in hand. No excuses there.
I have seen many guys who wants to take responsbility but the moment something from office comes they forget it. Your husband may be different. But if you entrust such a responsibility with a man who forgets the surroundings when something official comes result is mess.
Same is with Malini. If you forget the surrounding when you are engrossed in gossip chatting what happened to Diya is the end result.
Just like Malati fumbled with outside world, Abhi is fumbling with domestic world. Problem lies with Keshav as he didnt introduce her to the outside world, Problem lies with Radhika as she didnt make her husband realize the domestic problems. So it happens.
It was not about who will sit near the sick child. It was about you were the only one near the child at that point.
