That morning the Goenka and Gupta's left for the farmhouse right in the morning. Sudha, Aravind, shantanu and Pratibha were going in one car, Divya nd Aakash in another car since they wanted spend some time together after their huge fight, leaving Ishika, Aman, Arjun and Meera for one car. Sakshi and Vivek were also coming along with their kids

"I didn't know your friends were coming" Arjun whispered to her as they got out of the car

"Dadu invited them yesterday" She whispered back, with the little coldness and indifference that she had been replying to Arjun with

"Do you have to be so indifferent!" Arjun hissed

"Do you have to be so dramatic" Meera rolled her eyes

It was almost as if their personalities had been switched, but Meera was there still struggling to make peace with her grandfather and at a certain end even her parents, still confused about Mr. Satish's behaviour towards her even after Arjun's assurance, unsure if Arjun and her dragging the meaningless relationship had any rationality attached to it, yes she saw it, the only rationality was Dadu. It all came down to only Dadu. It twitched that she was unable to spend as much time with him as she wanted. Suddenly there was also a loss of comfort zone that she had built up with Arjun over a few months. In the most right sense, Meera wasn't herself, she just couldn't get herself to make a joke out of this situation. She needed a drink.

"Meera!" Pranav shouted out to her as he come running towards them, but instead of hugging Meera first, he hugged Arjun.

"What the fuck was that you asshole!" Meera gaped at Arjun and Pranav in horror "You are my friend first!"

"Awe you mished me" Pranav said as he pulled Meera's cheeks as Meera slapped his hands, Rohan, Mihir and Nitya walked behind him greeting Meera and Arjun.

"Hi" Nitya said putting her hand out for Arjun

"Arjun, Nitya, rohan's fiancee" Meera introduced them as Nitya stared at him in awe. Meera nudged her and whispered, "you're staring!"

"Oh sorry, Meera never told me that you were this handsome" Nitya said

"But Meera did tell you that you have a fiancee" Rohan said from behind noticing Nitya to be in awe

"Well I am sorry but you might know right, Meera's problem, her vision is blurred by her short temper and her sarcasm and impulsive decisions" Arjun said mocking her for her cold behaviour expecting something sarcastic in return, but instead she just rolled her eyes. Arjun soon got called by one of the family members as he went ahead, Mihir, pranav and Nitya walked ahead laughing at something, as Meera brought out something from the car that Rohan was helping her with.

"What's up with you and Arjun?" Rohan asked

"How does it matter" Meera snapped

"Meera thats rude, I've been noticing you for a week now and you've been snapping for no reason!" Rohan projected his observation

"I guess I am sorry" Meera said slamming the boot of the car

"What's the matter?" Rohan asked this time calmer

"Nothing" she said as she passed a basket to him

"Meera"

"Nothing, I swear!"

"I am going to ask you once again or else I am going to drop this carton chase you and then tickle you till it doesn't stop"

"Well guess what, I wont let you chase me cuz i want run!"

"Alright I'll tickle you" Rohan said as he wriggled in fingers in the air

"tch, no Rohan please, don't" Meera said lethargically
