"Yaar yeh Bhaiyya bhi na, he ruined all our effort. Pura raita phaila diya." Rudra complained. "We worked so harrd to convince Meera to go talk to Bhaiyya and what did he do? He told Kabir to leave."

"Exactly, your Bhaiyya is so stubborn. He isnt ready to listen to anything."

"Jiji..." Gauri came down with Bhavya. "We tried telling Meera to eat but she refused and she is very upset. Sahil is up there right now, trying to convince her."

"I told you Chutki....this would happen. I dont know what to do...Meera will get sick like this."

"Bhabhi relax, nothing like that will happen. Ill send Dev & the others to her, maybe Meera will listen to her cousins?" Om consoled Anika and then left towards Dev's room.

"And once Shivaay returns, Ill talk to him. Whats wrong if my granddaughter loves Kabir?" Pinky said.

Meanwhile Meera was in her room, crying in Sahil's lap.

(Imagine Meera laying in Sahil's lap like the pic above)

"Meeru calm down, SSO will agree. Everyone is on your side na? Di also doesnt have a problem with Kabir so the family will all help convince SSO. But you have to eat something na?" Sahil caressed Meera's head slowly.

Knock! Knock!

Sahil looked to Meera's door & saw Dev, Jai, Pihu, Ishaan & Mishti standing there. Nodding, Sahil told them to come in.

"Di..." Mishti ran to Meera and climbed onto the bed beside her. "Om unclesaid that you arent eating. Thats not a good thing. Once I didnt eat and my tummy was hurt so much, yours will too."

"Meera look...Pasta, I made it myself. Try some and tell me how it is." Dev held a plate up to Meera's face.

"I dont want to." Meera said and pushed the plate away.

"Arre par...its so yummy." Jai took a fork and ate some pasta to show Meera, "Mmmm!"

Meera sat up and glared at Dev & Jai. "What am I, 5? Like, you think thats really gonna work on me?"

"We hoped...." Dev said.

"Well its not...I dont want to eat means I dont want to eat."

"Di...please eat something. Everyone is worried about you." Pihu begged her.

Next Day...

The next Morning Shivaay came out of his room and saw everyone sitting worried. Looking around, Shivaay didnt see Meera.

"Anika, Where is Meera? Did she eat anything?"

"As if you're actually worried." Anika replied sarcastically.

"What are you saying Anika? Meera is my daughter, of course I am worried about her."

"Acha? You're daughter? I thought she is your enemy."

"Anika..."

"Shivaay.."

"Guys Stop! This isnt the time to argue." Om stopped the fight and turned to Shivaay, "Shivaay...Meera didnt eat since yesterday and she went off to work."

"Kya? She hasnt eaten and you let her go to office?" Shivaay asked.

"Shivaay bhaiyya....we tried to get her to eat but she just wouldnt. What could we do?" Bhavya said.

************

Meera was working on her computer when Alia walked in with some files.

"Meera...here are some files. They need your sign."

"Haan do." Meera took them and started signing.

Ahem!

"Kabir!" Meera stood up smiling and ran to Kabir hugging him. "You came."

"I had to, you literally threatened me." Kabir joked, "Vaise... Meera...are you ok? You called me suddenly."

"Haan Haan...what would happen to me? I just missed you." Meera lied.

"Kabir....Meera has been on a hunger strike since yesterday." Alia told him.

"Kya?" Kabir looked at Meera worried while she glared Alia. "Meera...what is she saying?"

"Its nothing...not eating for a day wont kill me." Meera turned to walk towards her desk when the room started spinning infront of her. Gasping, she stopped and reached out to hold onto the desk.

"Meera!" Kabir held onto her arms while Alia also helped from the otherside.

"Dekha....you're feeling weak, hai na?" Kabir asked. "You're feeling dizzy?"

"Im fine...Im fine..." Meera mumbled and then suddenly fainted.

"Meera!" Kabir caught her before her head hit the floor.

"Meera!" Alia started tapping Meera's cheeks to wake her up as Kabir also called out to her. "Oh no...Kabir she is unconscious. Ill call the doctor."

"Haan call him right now." Kabir lifted Meera up and placed her the couch. "Meera...open your eyes. Come on jaan, open your eyes na...pls. Alia where's that damn doctor?!"

"I called him Kabir...it will take time to get here. Be patient."

"I cant be patient...cant you see her condition? Aur by the way, how could you guys let her come to work without eating?" Kabir panicked seeing Meera like that.

"You know how she is. Meera doesnt listen to anyone, she does what she wants." Alia replied.

A few minutes later a man knocked on the cabin door. "Excuse me? Im Dr. Das....I was called here?"

"Finally! Pls...check her. She just fell unconscious, and she hasnt eaten since yesterday." Kabir told the the doctor. The doctor checked Meera and then turned to Kabir.

"No need to worry, its just a bit weakness.."

"No need to worry? Are you serious? She just fell unconscious all of a sudden and she is still unconscious. Of course Ill get worried....and if she has weakness then give some medicine na...so she can get better quickly. Instead of giving her medicine your saying I shouldnt be worried? What kind of doctor are you?" Kabir snapped. The Doctor got a bit scared and looked at Alia.

"Do I have to continue?"

"Huh?" Kabir asked all confused.

"No you dont." Shivaay walked into the cabin at that moment.

"Shivaay Uncle...."

"Thank you Das...you can go now." Nodding the doctor left the room as Kabir just stared at Shivaay & Alia, not sure whats going on.

"Did you see that, Papa?"

"Meera!" Kabir turned to Meera who was sitting up on the couch and hugged her tightly, "Are you okay?"

"Haan." Meera replied with a smile, "Nothing happened to me."

"Wha-I..you...Im so confused."

"I'll explain." Meera chuckled, "But for that you need to go in a flashback....just about 10 minutes before you came....So what happened was-"

*Flashback to about 10 min before Kabir came*

"Meera, I dont like fighting with you. and not eating is not the solution to this." Shivaay calmly explained to Meera as he sat in he cabin with Alia standing there.

"I dont like to fight either Papa lekin aap-" Meera stopped and then suddenly smiled, thinking of something, "Idea!"

"What?"

"Papa you love me right?"

"Of course I do." Shivaay replied.

"And you want my happiness, right"

"Haan...."

"Then Papa give me just one chance....one chance to  prove ke Kabir loves me alot. And if , after that you still dont trust him.....then....Ill do whatever you want me to do." Meera said. Shivaay looked at Meera reluctant to agree. "Papa pls...for me...pls."

"Ok....fine. One chance." Meera smiled and hugged Shivaay as he agreed.

"Thank you thank you Papa!" She squealed happily. Shivaay smiled and hugged her back.

"Lekin...how will you prove it?"

"With a little bit of acting. Alia...Ill need your help for this and Papa, do you know a doctor who will lie for us?"

"Haan....I do." Shivaay replied.

"Great so call him and wait in your cabin. Ill call Kabir here." Meera said.

"Ek minute...how will I see whats happening here if im in my cabin?"

"Simple...I'll keep my webcam on and Ill video call you....so you will see everything that happens here."

*Flashback Ends*

"...And you know the rest." Meera finished.

"Toh...you fainting....its was all fake. Meera I was so worried. Who does that?"

"Im sorry Kabir...but I needed to show Papa how much you love me thats why  you freaked out when I just fainted."

"And I did see." Shivaay spoke up. He walked upto Kabir and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Im sorry Kabir...I should have given you a chance to speak. I had a pre-concieved image of you in my head and because of that I forgot you are also a part of this family. Then I saw your panic when Meera was unconscious. Its exactly what my reaction would have been if I hadnt already known she is acting . So I know now that you love Meera just as much as I do....and thats what every father wants."

"So....you dont mind?" Kabir asked, happily.

"For now....no."

"For now matlab?"

"Matlab for now I dont mind...but...if you ever hurt my daughter, you will see the worst of me." Shivaay warned.

"Shivaay uncle....your daughter, is a completely crazy...gundi type girl. Im not brave enough to ever even think about hurting her." Kabir said. Meera, Alia & Shivaay chuckled. Shivaay held his arms open to Meera and she ran to him for a hug.

"Thank you so much Papa. Im so happy!" Meera said.

"Acha now I agreed na? No more crying." Shivaay wiped Meera's tears & kissed her on the head. Then he turned to Kabir and held his other arm out. Smiling Kabir joined the hug while Alia took a pic and sent it to Dev.

GRRR!

Everyone looked to Meera which was where the sound was coming from.

"Vaise....fainting was fake but I seriosuly havent eaten since yesterday...Im so so hungry." Meera said sheepishly.

"I never knew what a big dramebaaz you really are." Kabir said.

"Mmm...what to do. She us also Anika's daughter so of course she will be a bit of a dramaqueen." Shivaay joked.

"Haw! Papa! Are you saying that Ma is a dramaqueen? tsk tsk tsk. Very bad."

Everyone laughed.
