The Next Day...

"Kabir....what are you doing?" Meera asked as she watched Kabir walked back & forth outside of Shivaay's room.

"I was thinking...Shivaay uncle must be busy na? Anika aunty & him are together after so many years....lets give them some privacy. We'll talk to them later." Kabir said and started to walk away. Meera got annoyed & grabbed his collar pulling him towards her.

"You are...such a big fattu (coward). If I knew from before then-"

"Then what? You wouldnt fall for me?" Kabir asked.

"Definetly not." Kabir frowned making Meera chuckle. She released his collar and slung her arms around his neck. "But since I already have...what can I do?"

"Nothing.." Kabir caged Meera against the wall and leaned in with a smirk, "You're stuck with this fattu."

"What the hell is going on here?"

Startled, Meera pushed Kabir away from her so hard he fell to the ground. "Papa!"

"Shivaaywhat happened?" Anika came out of the room behind Shivaay when she noticed Meera & kabir there. "Meera? Kabir? You two here?"

"I...um...we..I..uh..." Kabir stammered as Shivaay glared at him. Meera finally decided to step in.

"Papa."

"What?" Shivaay looked at Meera.

"Papa actually...kabirandIloveeachother." Meera said all in one breathe.

"What?" Shivaay asked looking confused whereas Anika looked like she understood.

"Kabir...and I love eachother." Meera replied. Seeing her father just stand there, Meera got worried, "Papa? You dont have a problem with that right?"

"Yeah...I do have a problem." Shivaay said. "You & Kabir? Its not happening...absolutely not, never. Come here."

As Shivaay pulled Meera away from Kabir, Anika tried to calm him down. "Shivaay..."

"Shivaay uncle...I really love Me-"

"Shut up! Just shut up. I dont want to hear another word....you just stay away from my daughter."

"Papa what are you saying?" Meera asked.

"Kabir leave." Shivaay said. Lowering his head, Kabir left and then Shivaay let go of Meera's arm and walked back into his room with Anika following. Meera stormed into the room after them.

"What was that Papa? Why did you talk to Kabir like that? Why do you have a problem with him?"

"Ive said what I had to. I dont want you to have any relations with him." Shivaay responded.

"But why?"

"Because I said so...and Im your Papa so if I say stay away from Kabir...you stay away from him. Got it?"

"No...I dont get it." Meera replied.

"Meera...calm down." Anika sensed her daughter was loosing her temper.

"One minute Mumma." Meera turned back to Shivaay, "What did you just say Papa? Because you said so? Really? Im not 5! Because I said so, isnt going to work on me."

"Enough...Go to your room." Shivaay said.

"Im not done yet Papa...and what else did you say? You are my Papa so I have to do what you say hai na? Yeah you are my Papa which is why Kabir & I came to tell you about us. You are my Papa which is why despite how you reacted I came her to talk to you....to know the reason. But that doesnt mean Ill listen to everything you say...especially when you dont even have a good reason. I'm an adult and you cant take my life's decisions for me."

"Meera! Is this the way to talk to your Papa? I didnt raise you like this. This is not right at all." Anika scolded Meera.

"And what Papa is doing thats right? Im 25...older than both Dev & Jai. Jai has already gotten married to a girl of his choice. Sona & Jai dated for years Ma....and Im not even allowed to love someone?"

"Your Papa didnt mean that...."

"Then what did he mean? Thats what I want to know. Kabir grew up in this house...he is a good friend of Dev & Jai's then why...why does Papa not like this? All I want is one good reason but Papa doesnt want to give any reason and just ordered that I stay away from Kabir....Well thats not going to happen." Meera said firmly, "Papa you do whatever you want but Im also your daughter so i'll do what I want."

"Meera!" Anika called after Meera, jumping slightly as she slammed the door behind her.

Bang! (LOL I dont know what sound it would make)

Anika jumped again at the sound of something breaking behind her. She turned around to see Shivaay's phone on the floor in pieces. Sighing, Anika quickly went after her daughter.

"Meera wait!" Anika followed Meera into the main sitting area. Ignoring Anika, Meera went upstairs towards her room.

"Bhabhi?" Anika stopped as Om & Rudra came upto her.

"What happened? Why was there shouting from your room?" Om asked.

"Haan and why was Meera so angry?" Rudra asked.

"What happened is that Im stuck between this Father and daughter....I dont understand what to do?" Anika said.

"Bhabhi first sit down." Om lead her to the couch. "Now tell us...what happened?"

"Meera and Kabir love eachother"

"YES!" Om & Anika looked at Rudra as he suddenly cheered with his fist up in the air. "Sorry...I knew it! Remember O when we found her in Kabi'r closet? I told you..."

"One sec...is Kabir's closet? What are you saying Rudra?" Anika asked confused.

"Uh...nothing bhabhi. Tell na, whats the problem if Meera and Kabir love eachother?" Om said.

"Nothing...at least I dont have a problem, but Shivaay got very angry. Then Meera got angry and she went to her room while Shivaay is sitting in our room. What do I do? Handle my husband or my daughter? Ill go crazy."

"Aare bhabhi, when will your two awesome devars come handy?" Rudra said. "Do one thing, You talk to Shivaay bhaiyya because only you can control his anger. And we will talk to Meera."

"Rudra...Meera's anger isnt any less." Anika warned.

"Its okay bhabhi. Meera is our niece na? We will talk to her, you go to Shivaay." Om replied.

"Okay." Anika smiled at her devars, "Good luck."

"Haan...you too bhabhi." Om said. After Anika went back to her room, Om & Rudra went upto Meera's room where they saw her walking back and forth in her room upset.

Knock! Knock!

Om knocked on the door.

"I dont want to talk Ma." Meera said not even bothering to look.

"Ok...we'll talk you can listen" Rudra replied. Meera turned towards her door hearing his voice.

"Om Chachu...Rudra Chachu....you two. I thought Ma came."

"Hmm....she was coming but we said we will speak to you." Om replied as he walked in with Rudra, "She told us....what happened."

"I realize....I shouldnt have talked to Papa like that." Meera sat down on her bed. "But what Papa is doing its completely unfair...and uncalled for. It not like main Im a 15-15 year old teenager...Im an adult."

"Meera I understand." Om sat down on one side of Meera, placing his arm on her shoulder while Rudra sat on the other side. "But I also get Shivaay's point of view....Im also a daughter's father na."

"Really Chachu? You wont let Pihu date? She's 18." Meera asked.

"Haan yaar O....I didnt know you were so old fashioned." Rudra added.

"Shut up Rudra." Om glared at Rudra then looked at Meera, "Nahi...I would let her date."

"See..."

"But not happily...." Om said, "After all she is my little girl and dating, falling in love means growing up...especially for a girl it means, eventually leaving your house. I know you are an adult but Shivaay just got you....I was with Pihu since birth and even I dread the day she will come and say ke Papa Im in love. On top of that....you know Kabir's reputation right? He has had many girlfrend....so Shivaay's overprotectiveness makes sense."

"Dont worry Meera, Bhabhi has gone to talk to Shivaay bhaiyya and I think if you also go and calmly explain to him, he'll understand. I mean, if both of you get so angry how will this get solved?" Rudra said. Om looked at Rudra weirdly and then leaned over Meera to feel Rudra's forehead. "O...what are you doing?"

"Checking to make sure....are you ok?" Om asked in a concerned voice, " How are you suddenly giving such wise advice?"

"Very funny O."
