It was three'o clock and the road was busy since it was time for the students to go home. Though there was so much noise from the outside the inside of the car is cold and silent which was irking Janu. They didn't talk since he slapped her. She never expected him to raise his hand against someone that too a girl but then again she never expected him to be already in love.

"I'm sorry" He heard Janu "I didn't know what she meant to you and I'm really sorry that I crossed the line" making him nod.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have slapped you but you just make me lose all my patience" Raghav apologised making her glare.

After a few seconds of silence she spoke again "Will you welcome her if she comes back?"

"It doesn't matter" Raghav ignored her question.

"What if she wants to see you? I still remember the speech she wrote for her Award function" Janu reminded him.

"We're like sun and moon. If one has to shine then the other has to disappear and the worst part is the eclipse will not be enough to bring us together" Raghav thought back to their last goodbye at the airport.

"I really wish that you shouldn't have gone through such pain" Janu honestly said even if she was hurting worse than anything she has ever felt for his broken heart.

"Didn't you try meeting her even once? Atleast one glance at her?" Janu asked as he took a right and drove into a colony.

"Why are you asking all of this?" Raghav asked.

"I'm curious. I mean you loved each other since childhood and all" Janu shrugged.

"No!" Raghav denied making her frown as he continued "I don't think it's love".

"Wh..what? You don't love her?" Janu asked as her eyes sparked.

"I never said that" Raghav was talking in circles now.

"I don't understand" Janu was confused now.

"She was a child when she became my wife. She didn't know anything. Don't you think it's kind of weird calling our relationship love" Raghav said.

Janu frowned "But she literally named her company after you. What do you call it then?"

"Affection and respect" Raghav replied.

"What if it's out of love? She still has your name attached to hers" Janu reminded him.

"She can change it once she falls in love and get marr-" Janu scream cut him off "Shut up" and closed her eyes turning away from him.

"Excuse me?" Raghav looked at amused.

"How could you...how could you think of her love as affection? She must be really into you otherwise you would have loved me back" Janu mumbled with tears in her eyes as she thought back to the night he slapped her.

"If she really loves me then I'll accept her" Raghav stated.

"So if she doesn't tell you that she loves you then will you let her go?" Janu asked making him nod while she turned towards the car window and rested her forehead to the glass closing her eyes to control her tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks.

Janu immediately got down when Raghav stopped the car at the school and wiped her tears before he could see her crying and started pretending to look around for Aaryan.

'I know you're hurting Janu but I can't be with you and hurt you ten times more. That's why I'm doing this to make you forget me' Raghav sighed as he rubbed the middle of his chest.

"Darling..." Aaryan ran to Janu and hugged her waist making her kiss the top of his head.

"Let's get going. I got something for you" Janu opened the back door of the car for Aaryan but that little devil sat in the passenger seat which made her take the back seat.

"Why are you sitting here?" Raghav asked.

"Because I always do" Aaryan rolled his eyes as Janu handed him chocolates.

"I don't like chocolates little darling" Janu shook her head when Aaryan shared a bar of chocolate.

"Mavayya (mother's brother) doesn't like chocolates either. You are both the same" Aaryan shook his head making Janu look at Raghav's reflection in the mirror while he started driving off the school premises.

'But he doesn't want me to be the same as him' Janu sighed leaning her head back on the head rest.
