The broken will always be able to
 love harder than most.

Once you have been in the dark,
 you learn to appreciate everything
 that shines.

She turned to him as he stood there leaning on the door.

"I got a call from your principal, Aarush", he spoke glaring at the little boy who gulped looking down.

"What happened?", she asked him looking at the little boy who was almost in tears.

"Aarush", he called a little harshly as the boy started sobbing. Kimaya felt her heart hurting looking at the heartbreaking scene of the boy crying.

"Baby", she cooed wrapping her arms around him as he wrapped his arms around her hiding his face in her neck.

"I didn't do wrong, Bhabhi", he sobbed as she rubbed his back.

"Aarush", Randhir called as the boy wrapped his arms tighter around her.

"Please calm down", she whispered softly looking at him as he gave a hard look to her before taking Aarush from her.

"What happened?", he asked as the boy sobbed softly.

"He was using bad words for a girl that's why I slapped him", Aarush spoke as Kimaya wiped his tears.

"Slapping was not the right thing to do, right?", Randhir asked as he nodded looking at Kimaya.

"Your Bhabhi is not going to say anything. If anything like this happens again, you are going to tell your teacher or tell me directly", Randhir spoke as he nodded trying to get into Kimaya's arms again. She took him from Randhir kissing his forehead as he hid his face in her neck.

"Baby, you were hungry, right? Don't think about these things", he told him as he mumbled a small yes. She looked at her husband with a hard glare which made him raise his eyebrows.

She fed Aarush with her hands as he silently went to his room with his books.

"Bhabhi, I could literally imagine your child in your arms in place of Aarush", Shantanu said in surprise making Kimaya look at him.

"It is your study time, Shantanu. Shouldn't you go and study", she told him strictly as he cleared his throat before excusing himself.

"Don't you know how to speak to a kid? He did less if it was me, I would've never stopped on a single slap", she told him angrily as he walked to his room while she followed him not liking the idea of being ignored.

"He is a kid. He needs to learn", he spoke entering inside his room losing his tie.

"That is what I mean. He is a kid. You should explain to him in a friendly way. Didn't your heart melt when he was crying?", she asked him as he turned to her removing his expensive black coat putting it on the bed.

"I just want to say that I know you are right. He shouldn't be using violence but still, he is a kid", she stated reminding her words sitting on the bed.

"You packed for our little visit", he told her as she nodded.

"It's Aarush's winter vacation. After this we won't be able to visit", He spoke as she nodded again.

"Now what is it with you and your nodding", he said sitting beside her.

"You don't know how bad I feel. He was crying", she whispered her own voice choking as she felt tears forming in her eyes.
