Shruthi sorry for not responding to your posts for quite some time. Was totally tied up and couldn't write reviews. Here yes, its critical as the child developed some reaction to the drug administered but how can a well known advocate didn't realise that Abhi in fact went out to take the call so that the call frequency should not affect the performance of the machines attached to the patient. Why did the hospital didn't administer the antidote immediately and then took the replacement? That's supposed to be the procedure right? Yes I do agree Abhi was involved in his call but at least they should have heard him right? True the lapsed few minutes were crucial but why no one even thought what made him leave the child alone.
I really feel pity for Abhi than Radhika now as even she did not understand her husband even after living with him for so long.

What exactly he needs to do to show that he was sorry and regret? Some people are so genuine that they don't know how to project themselves and fall prey to Misunderstanding.

Hello Jaya I was so much missing you😃. I knew you were busy but then didnt even see likes for Seven Vows. So was wondering what happened to you 😃.
Welcome back and what a comment. See the MUs happen. Because the indifference affects the wife also and sometimes more than a wife a mother kicks in.
It's a different thing what he did or he didnt do, but then what would have happened to the child. If it happened we can discuss " n" number of things, but then you cant compensate for the loss.

Certain responsibilities there is no margin of error.

Shruthi, I know a mother hops in before a wife but at the same time a wife should hop in before a friend is all I say. the fact here is Radhika doesn't trust Abhi or even if she trusts, its not enough to even listen to his words. If Abhi volunteered to take care of a child and then had to move out to take a call, it had to be of grave importance. the fact there was that the girl was doing fine and as per doctors was supposed to wake up only after few hours. She was operated for broken skull and was supposed to be attached to crucial machines which might get affected with high frequency instruments and that is one reason why we area asked not to use mobiles in hospitals.

Yes, I can understand Keshav & Malini have such feelings towards Abhi but the words Radhika used to him were too strong and would have uprooted his soul. A father will look calm even when his child is sick is not because he has no feelings for his child nor he doesn't understand the importance of the presence of his parent with the ailing child. It is because he knows very well that a sick child feels more solace in the presence of its mother than father and a mother's heart can't stay away from the child at such times and it will affect the child's health, if both the parents are hovering over it and showing restless ness. He was also a child once and he knows what a child needs at such situations and he too had a mother and he knows how she used to feel on those moments. A father don't stay with his child when it is sick for 2 reasons. One, he has confidence in his wife's capability to handle the situation and the second is because he is not that strong hearted as he show cases himself and know that he may breakdown with a mere disturbance in his child's health.

Abhi left without giving his justification not because he was guilty but because he felt there is no point in him giving his side of the story when the ruling has already been announced. When his wife didn't even allow him to finish his sentence, what will she understand about his work load or his actual reason for staying away from the hospital ward? The call he attended could have been from the school about their child and not necessarily from his office? I just hope Radhika realizes this sooner and rectifies her mistake.

Sorry, for my long rant but I just could not accept Radhika's outburst. I know this from my personal experience as it was and will always be me who will have to stay next to my daughter, if she is sick and my husband will be off to his office but not because he care any less for her but he can't she her sufferings. But he would have suffered the same pain or more than his daughter was undergoing and by the time he comes back, he will have developed headache and fever and I will have 2 patients in hand. Not only that, they prefer their wives to be with their parents also, not because they love parent any less but because they have more confidence in the lady of the house than themselves.

@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.

Shruthi sorry to differ but even I am saying these from my personal experiences. Whether there is an attendant or not, it is the duty of the hospital to keep screening on the ICU patients. And since the doctors and nurses knew that it was medicine reaction, they were supposed to administer the antidote without waiting for anyone. I can understand with your mother's case as such medicine cost heavily, the hospital will try to check with family before using to know whether they can afford the cost. Even I have faced such situations while my father was admitted and also when my FIL was admitted for his heart problems. But they never waited till we bought the medicine but asked us replace the ones they has used.
And about phone number, for sure the ICU will readily have the contact information of the family.

Yes I am not justifying what Abhi did was right but all I say is she should have given him a chance to give his point or views. If she could hear it from Prathibha Bus, why not from him? Instead of calling but, she could have called him right? Sorry to say but She never trusted him to even consider him to think that he may not be at fault.
Sorry if you differ as it is your brain baby (story) but I just couldn't agree with her out burst.

@jaya I dont know what to say. I dont know whether the theme of imperfect emotionally void marriage is coming out or not as far as Radhika-Abhi or Keshav-Malini is coming out. Because that is theme to take up a social issue.
If that theme is not coming out please tell. Because if that theme is not felt when the social issue is taken people might feel uncomfortable
