"Meera Didi!" Pihu cried as she ran and hid behind her saviour.

"How dare you!" Meera yelled at the guy on the floor.

*Flashback: a few minutes ago*

The older kids were dancing on the dance floor when Meera noticed Pihu going towards the washrooms which was at the other side of the club with another girl her age.

'What is Pihu doing here? She is only 19...how did she even get in?' Meera thought to herself. 'I should go check.'

"Meera...where are you going?" Sona asked as she noticed Meera starting to leave.

"I....I just need to make a phone call...its important, I'll just be back." Meera lied as she didnt want to worry anybody.

"Okay...come quick!" Sona replied then continued to dance with Jai. Meera quickly looked and saw that Alia & Dev were busy dancing with each other and flirting....while Kabir had about three girls sticking to him like magnets. Meera scoffed at the sight and then went in the direction she saw Pihu go. When she finally reached the washroom hallway....what she saw made her blood boil in anger.

*Flashback End*

"That was a BIG mistake!" the fouth guy who wasnt holding anyone walked forward angrily. "You have no idea who we are!"

"Really? Please do tell?" Meera looked with a fake curious expression, "Who are you guys? What identity do you have that makes you think you can behave like an animal with girls?"

The guy opened his mouth to say something but Meera didnt let him, "Actually you know what I dont even care....you are probably some big shot's spoiled sons....makes no difference."

"Hey! What are you standing there and talking to her for, catch her !" The guy on the floor said finally managing to get up. Meera moved the sobbing Pihu to the side before making her hands into fists. The fourth guy came forward to catch Meera but all he got was a punch on his face. He cried out in pain as a loud crack indicated that his nose was now broken. One of the other guys let go of Kajal to come at Meera...She quickly grabbed his arm twisted it behind his back until they heard another crack and kicked him in his back...making sure to dig her heel in.

"Ahh!" The guy yelled as he knocked the other guy over who was holding Kajal. Kajal finally free ran towards Pihu who was behind Meera and covered her with a scarf.

"Why you little b-" The first guy looked at his fallen friends and then at Meera.

"Bitch na, I'm a bitch? How sweet of you to say!" Meera smiled sarcastically and motioned for him to come at her. He ran towards her, Meera lifted her right leg high and side kicked his head knocking him unconscious. She then turned to look at the last guy....he looked terrified and unsure of weather to attack Meera or not.

"Ok...I'll give you two options...first apologize...and take your friends to the hospital, and never treat another girl like this again! Second, you can try to attack me.... and face the same fate as them. Take your pick."

"Sorry sister!" The guy whimpered to Pihu & Kajal with his hands together and backed away in fear.

"Lets go Pihu." Meera took Pihu out of the hallway and under a stairway. "What are you doing here?"

"Meera D di-di..." Pihu sobbed, "Those...the....th- guys...they...tr....I..."

"Shhh..shhhh...relax, Pihu relax...justcalm down...dont cry okay" Meera sweetly wiped Pihu's tears and hugged her rubbing her back softly. "Nothing happened...I'm here na..everything is okay."

"Pihu?" Ishaan came to see what was taking Pihu & Kajal so long came with their two other friends behind him.

"Meera Didi...you...here." Ishaan gulped as he knew he was in trouble.

"Didi? I thought Pihu was your only sister?" His friend asked confused.

"No, she isnt our real sister....she is Bade Papa's business partner....we just call her didi." Ishaan explained.

"What are you guys doing here? How did you even get in? This is not the age to be going to the club....what if something had happened to Pihu?!" Meera asked Ishaan....she was very angry.

"Pihu? What happened to Pihu?" Ishaan asked concerned. Kajal quickly explained what happened and Ishaan hugged Pihu.

"Pihu...tare you okay...I'm so sorry this was my idea...you were right, we shouldnt have come."

"Pihu? Ishaan? What the hell are you guys doing here?" Ishaan turned around and saw Dev, Jai, Kabir, Sona & Alia standing there....they were looking for Meera when they saw Ishaan.

"Bhai...." Pihu cried and went to hug her brother, "Pihu why are you crying? What happened?"

"And what are you guys doing here?" Jai asked. Kajal again told everyone what happened and to say that Jai & Dev were furious would be and understatement...even Kabir was angry cause he treats Pihu like a younger sister.

"How dare they! I wont leave them...I'll kill the jerks!" Dev yelled and was about to go towards the washroom with Jai and Kabir behind.

"You dont have to do anything! She beat them up so much...they learnt a good lesson." Kajal replied.

"Who did?" Jai asked confused.

"She did." Kajal repeated pointing to Meera.

"Her!? How??" The boys looked at Meera in shock while Sona & Alia both just smirked as they both knew very well what Meera is capable of.

"Hey..you dont need to look so shocked." Meera said.

"Meera is a black belt in Karate...and she knows a bit boxing" Sona explained.

"The way she protected Pihu...I seriously thought she was Pihu's older sister but then Ishaan said they have no relation....I cant believe it." Meera and Alia gave each other a knowing look as Kajal said that.

"Its nothing like that....I would do this for any girl." Meera replied with a smile.

"Thats so sweet...I have become a fan of yours...The way you beat those guys....it was awesome!" Kajal replied.

"Woah! Meera did you do that!" Everyone turned around and saw Dev pointing towards the washroom hallway where the last guy had called for some help and was now taking his three unconscious friends to the hospital.

"Dude, she seriously is a gundi!" Kabir whispered to Jai who nodded in shock.

"Pihu...Ishaan...we are going home now...you two shouldnt have come here!" Dev said strictly.

"Sorry bhai....we just wanted to have some fun...It wasnt Piu's fault. It was my idea." Ishaan hung his head in guilt.

"Dev...dont scold them anymore....already so much happened, Pihu is scared. Lets just all go back now." Meera spoke up.

"Bhai are you going to tell everyone at home?" Ishaan asked.

"We have to....we cant hide this." Jai replied. They then took Pihu & Ishaan and drove back to Oberoi Mansion.

"Meera, we will go tell our parents...would you mind staying with Pihu?" Dev asked. Pihu was currently clinging to Meera and everyone could tell she felt safe with her.

"Why would I mind? You go, I'll stay with her." Meer replied and sat down on the couch with Pihu.

"Guys....you should go to sleep now, Its late....and Baby...Kabir you two are def drunk." Jai told the others so Sona, Alia & Kabir went back to their rooms while Jai & Dev went upstairs to tell the parents what happened.

"This is all my fault...." Ishaan said as he sat down on the other side of Pihu.

"I said yes too...I knew that we shouldnt go but I agreed...I am older. I should have known better." Pihu cried. "Those....their faces are still infront of me....I cant forget it."

"Shhh shhhh....Pihu....enough....no more crying. You are safe, in your own home." Meera consoled her.

"We were so stupid..." Ishaan said.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Meera said with a warm smile, "This stupidity na....I have also done this."

"What do you mean?" Ishaan asked.

"I mean...that we are all human not a machine that no mistakes can happen. We can learn from these mistakes." Meera replied, "Now...Im only telling you guys this so you dont feel too bad...but you cant tell this to anybody..okay?"

"Okay..." Ishaan & Pihu agreed.

"When I was 18, once Sona, Alia & I ....we snuck into a club too." Ishaan & Pihu looked surprised as Meera said this.

"But you look like a responsible type..." Ishaan said.

"Like I said, humans make mistakes...I did too. Like you...we wanted to enjoy with our friends, so we got fake IDs and snuck in."

"Then what happened? Did your parents get angry?"

"My Mom....my Mom got very angry...that day I returned home in the middle of the night and completely drunk. Even my Mama (maternal uncle) couldnt save me that day. My Mom generally doesnt get too angry but that day she did...because she got scared when she didnt find me in my room in the middle of the night. I was only 18 after all. See...I know that you guys want to go out...have fun with your friends, and its not like you can't but everything has a proper age. There is a reason that clubs have an age limit, its for our own safety. Dont think that whatever happened was because you guys snuck in....because that could happen to any girl, even me. But... sneaking into the club was wrong....It was wrong when I did it, and its still wrong today. That day, my mom punished me...today your parents will probably punish you.." Ishaan looked down at that and Meera affectionately ruffled his hair. "Don't worry, Parents love their kids....at the end of the day what they say is for their child's good so dont feel too bad, okay?"

At that moment Gauri came and hugged Meera tightly with tears in her eyes. Shivaay, Om, Gauri, Bhavya & Rudra all came down after Dev & Jai told them what happened and they heard the whole conversation between Meera, Ishaan & Pihu.

" Aunty...." Meera got up as she wasnt expecting a hug.

"Thank you so much Beta....Dev told me what happened, if you werent there today then...."Gauri sobbed. Meera hugged Gauri again this time even she had tears in her eyes.

"Aunty pls don't cry...nothing happened to Pihu..and I taught those guys a good lesson."

"Im sorry Mumma....Papa..." Pihu said looking down, "We shouldnt have gone there."

"Im also sorry....it was my idea. Whatever punishment you decide....we wont say anything." Ishaan replied also looking down.

"Of course you will be punished." Bhavya angrily said. "Do you have any idea what coukd have happened! Pihu is your sister!"

"Bhavya, Pihu is at fault too.....she is not a child, In fact she is older than Ishaan." Om replied.

"Omkaraji...Bhavya pls let it go...they have gone through enough already....why more punishment?" Gauri asked.

"Its Ok Mumma....We were at fault so we should be punished....thats how we will learn. Papa, we wont do this again....I promise!" Pihu replied. Omkara hugged her and kissed her head.

"Are you okay?" Om asked his daughter. Pihu nodded her head.

"Mom....sorry." Ishaan looked to Bhavya with tears in his eyes, "Im really very sorry."

"Okay...now everyone go to sleep. We will talk about punishments in the morning." Shivaay spoke up. As everyone left to go to their rooms, Shivaay stopped Meera.

"Meera...thank you." Shivaay said.

"Pls dont say thak you....Pihu is my-I mean she is like my younger sister. What I did, I really dont need a thank you for that."

"Acha ok...." Shivaay smiled, "You should go to sleep too, its late. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Meera replied with a smile back and left for her room.
