"You know what, I think this is a sign." Alia spoke up. After convincing Pihu & Ishaan to keep Meera's identity a secret, they both went back to the office where they were talking in Meera's cabin.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Annika aunty coming to Mumbai, Pihu and Ishaan find out the truth....maybe this is all a sign that we should reunite Shivaay uncle and Annika aunty quickly."

"Yeah, you're right. Ma wont agree easily, Papa will have to apologize and convince her and for that they have to meet first. I'll think of something."

"Think of something for what?" Meera & Alia jumped at Kabir's voice. Turning they saw him standing at the door.

"Why do people always sneak up behind us when we are talking?" Alia mumbled under her breathe so that only Meera could hear.

"What are you doing here?" Meera asked Kabir trying to change the subject.

"Im not here to meet yoy, just incase you forgot this is my friend's office, Dev's cabin is right there. I came to meet him but looks like he is on a conference call."

"Then come inside, you can just wait here." Alia smiled.

"Thanks....at least there is someone here who isnt rude." Kabir walked in and gave a look to Meera.

"I have work to do." Meera rolled her eyes and got off the couch to go to her desk just as Kabir sat down.

"So Kabir...I heard your recent album. Is it about some ex girlfriend?" Alia leaned foreward on the couch and asked.

"Nah...none of my girlfriends are that important that I'll release an album about them, infact I wouldnt even write a song."

"Really, but all of them are about heartbreak so I thought someone prob broke your heart..."

"Yaar, I am the heartbreaker....nobody can break my heart. I never get that attached to my girlfreinds, they usually only last for about a week or so anyways."

"Why am I not surprised." Meera scoffed from her desk as Alia looked at Kabir in surprise.

"A week? Really?"

"Yep."

Knock! Knock!

"Dev...come in." Meera said as she saw Dev standing at the door.

"Hey...sorry Kabir. I was in a conference call. Lets go."

"Where are you guys going?" Alia asked.

"Kabir has a song recording, main uske saath jaa raha hoon cause I dont have anymore work to do today. Tum dono ko aana hai?"

"Yeah...that will be fun." Alia got excited.

"No thanks, I dont want to."

"Oh come on Meera, pls?"

"Yeah come. You'll send your friend alone with two guys?" Dev joked.

"Haan...a young girl is like an open treasure and the world is very bad, its not safe." Alia joined in holding her laughter. 

"Are you guys done with the drama?" Meera rolled her eyes and walked towards them, "I'll go, okay? Happy?"

"Okay guys lets go now." Kabir said.

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

"Hey Harman." Kabir greeted a guy as they walked into the studio. "Sorry I'm a little late."

"Its fine," Harman then turned to the others and gave Meera and Alia a look that made Meera kinda uncomfortable and from the way Alia looked around, Meera could tell it was creeping her out too. "And who are they?"

"Oh, these two are our friends. Alia & Meera. And girls this is Harman, Kabir's manager." Dev introduced and the girls politely shook his hands.

"Why is he staring at you like that?" Alia whispered to Meera as we followed them into one of the recording rooms.

"Dont know, lets just try to avoid him." Meera whispered back. Kabir started recording his songs, and the rest were offered some snacks and drinks.

Ring! Ring!

"Who's that?" Dev asked. Meera looked at her phone and saw Saahil Mama written accross the screen.

"Uh...the manager from my Dehli hotel." Meera lied and then got up to answer. "I'll just talk and come"

Meera left the room and answered the call.

*Phonecall*

M: Hey Mama.

S: I just read your message. Pihu and Ishaan found out everything?

M: Yeah, they saw us when Alia & me were having lunch with Ma. Alia thinks its a sign, that we should plan something to reunite Ma & Papa.

S: Well she isnt wrong, you know what I think Di is going to the mandir (temple) tomorrow. Try to send SSO there too. It will be perfect because thats where they met for the first time.

M: That does sound perfect.

S: Ok I have to go, bye.

M: K bye Mama!

*Phonecall end*

Ending the phonecall Meera turned back and came face to face with Harman....who was standing a little too close for comfort.

"Sorry," Meera said and tried to walk around him only to be blocked. She moved the other way but he again blocked her way.

"What are you doing?" Meera glared at Harman.

"Who me?" Harman walked closer to Meera, "Nothing,nothing at all. I was just thinking...this Kabir is just so lucky. He is a  celebrity so he can get sexy girls like you easily."

"I dont have that kind of relation with Kabir...now move."

"Acha? Very good, then make that kind of relation with me." Harman came closer and backed Meera in a corner.

"Not...Interested....move." Meera pushed him out of the way and started walking back to the room. Harman grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her into an empty room and slammed her against the wall, "What the hell! LEAVE ME!"

"Babes...This is a music studio. All the rooms are soundproof so no matter how loud you yell, nobody will hear you." Harman smirked, "Now...I was being very polite, you are the one note agreeing...Okay, if not a relation then you can just....you know, for one night. Thats fine with me, I am very accommodating."

SLAP!

Meera slapped Harman with such force, he fell to the ground holding his cheek.

"HOW DARE YOU! What kind of girl do you think I am? You jerk!" Meera yelled then went to the door to leave but Harman had already gotten up and pulled her back with her hair.

"Hey! You havent even seen me being a jerk yet, but no worries I'll show you." Harman pinned Meera against the wall and held her mouth close. At that moment a hand punch Harman in the face making him yell in pain and fall to the ground again..

"Meera, are you okay?" Kabir asked turning to her.

"Yeah...one sec." Meera bent and pulled Harman up by is collar, "You...what were you about to show me?"

"Meera..."

"Now I will show you...how much of a mistake you made messing with me."

PUNCH!

"AHH!" Meera punched Harman in the nose and then kicked him in his stomach.

"Woah woah! Meera!" Kabir grabbed Meera from behind and held her back. "Relax."

"Relax? Do you know what he tried to do?"

"Yeah, I know but the police will handle him okay....."

"Police? Kabir come on man, your seriously gonna call the police on me?I'm your friend and you have had so many girlfriends before, it was never a problem then."

"Friend? If I knew what kind of person you are then forget friend I would have hired you as my manager, and as for my girlfriends....I have never treated any girl with disrespect, never forced myself on a girl so dont compare us." Kabir took Meera outside where Dev and Alia met them.

"Meera! Where were you?" Dev asked.

"I was so worried." Alia added hugging Meera.

"Im fine."

"Dev call the police." Kabir said.

"Why what happened?" Kabir then told Dev & Alia everything that he saw and Meera told the rest.

"What? Harman did that? I cant believe he was actually our friend." Dev took out his phone and called the police while Kabir got security to take care of Harman until they got there.

"Hey..." Meera walked upto Kabir, "Thanks."

"Did you get a concussion? You are saying thanks to ME?" Kabir looked around, "Did somebody get that on video?"

"Kabir....dont make me regret it." Meera said and Kabir smiled at her.

"No problem, seriously I didnt know Harman would do that."

"Yeah....I believe you." Meera looked into Kabir's eyes and they both got lost in each other.

"Guys." Dev's voice snapped Meera & Kabir out of their trance, "We should go home now. Lets go."
