Bani.... Eat something ... Fast.. Meera said sitting beside her on the bed to which veer and Tapish agreed.

Bani peeped into the food tray Tapish held infront her and scrunched her face. Tapish and Meera glared her when they saw the reluctance on Bani's face.

Eeww... Meera di ... Tapish bhai... I don't want soup please ... And khichdi...? Hehe... Please na... I don't want to eat anything right now , just now only the drip finished na..? Bani pleaded trying hard to skip her big bro and big sis 's food torture. Veer looked at the dramatic trio infront of him and rolled his eyes. He grabbed a bowl of soup from the tray , took a spoonful of soup and kept it near Bani's mouth, and narrowed his eyes urging her to open her mouth.

One second veer ... Meera took another bowl of khichdi and brought it infront of veer. Bani atleast had drips to remain stable , but you have nothing in your system right..? As far as I know , the chance that you had your food yesterday is almost nil . She then looked at Tapish to confirm her words to which he nodded positively.

Bani glared at veer for skipping his meal and for being so careless to which he passed her a nervous grin.

Meera .. but look ..Bani is having bandaid wrapped on her hands na .. how is she supposed to eat alone..? I will feed her and then will have mine later.. veer tried scratching out excuses just to avoid eating khichdi.

Don't worry veer... I will manage that ... Tapish said with a smirk while taking the bowl in his hand all set to make his stubborn little sister have her food.

Veer glared him and then back at the khichdi. He made a face to which Meera shook her head in disbelief . Both of you are just too much ... She said taking a spoonful of khichdi and stuffing inside veer's mouth.

I love you Meera di... Bani said before giving her a flying kiss. Make him eat just like that only... He never eats anything good.. no kheer..no khichdi...what is this veer...chi...chi.. bani said teasing veer and veer narrowed his eyes at her and then made a pleading face at Meera who was ready to stuff in another spoonful of khichdi in his mouth.

Oohoo...too much laughter..? Wait... Tapish said before making bani have a spoonful of herbal soup to which her laughter died at an instant and she made a ew face . Tapish patted her head controlling his laughter seeing the flashing expressions of Bani while veer smirked at her and Meera covered her face to avoid laughing out , seeing the adorable plight of her little sister.

Veer and bani slowly slipped into teasing and glaring each other while Tapish and Meera occasionally made bani and veer have their soup and khichdi respectively.

Tapish and Meera looked at each other and smiled gazing their happy brother and sister, who were simply immersed in teasing eachother throwing different looks and dramatic dialogues. how they wished both were this peaceful and happy without any problems which are a constant knocker at their doorsteps.

Also Meera was able to feel a completely different vibe radiating from bani when she was teasing and talking with veer than the one which meera had observed earlier.

she was somehow able to feel the shift in bani's feelings. meera shook her head and kept that doubt apart to be cleared when bani is alone and continued giving khichdi to veer who made a grumpy face occasionally but obediently had the food he was being fed without causing much trouble to his dear sister- in - law unlike Bani who was constantly making all excuses and dramatic expressions she could just to avoid the soup tapish was forcefully making her eat . She then agreed to help Tapish with the soup in return of the promise Tapish made , that is to make aloo poori when bani is fine.
