Chapter 61 - Chapter 61 — The Meow Goddess Strikes Back

The prank call ended with Laddu wiping tears of laughter 😂and Candy rolling on the floor like a dying beetle.

Cousin:"I cannot believe she actually MEOWED."

Maya:"She meowed with emotion…that's the scary part."

Mochi sat frozen, staring at the wall like life had blue-screened.

Mochi:"Why…why am I still here…?"

Then—

KNOCK!KNOCK!KNOCK!

The universe paused.

Father opened the door.

And standing there—

Red-faced 😡Breathing hardHair slightly messyEyes full of betrayal

Was—

TEACHER ROSY.

The house froze solid.

Candy whispered dramatically:

Candy:"The meow goddess has arrived…"

Rosy marched inside like a police officer raiding a crime den 🚨.

Rosy:"WHERE IS MR. LOTTERY?!"

Father didn't hesitate for even one second.

He pointed.

Father:"Those two."

Laddu and Candy instantly sat side by side on the sofa.Back straight.Hands on knees.Perfect "caught in class" posture 😇.

Rosy stood in front of them like a volcano about to erupt 🌋.

Rosy:"DID YOU—MAKE ME—MEOW—ON THE PHONE?!"

Candy slowly pointed at Laddu 👉.Laddu slowly pointed at Candy 👈.

Rosy's eyebrow twitched.

Rosy:"You tricked me!I shouted like a cat!THREE TIMES!"

Maya whispered to Cousin:

Maya:"She's going to murder them."

Cousin:"I hope she starts with Laddu."

Rosy turned to Laddu, furious.

Rosy:"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!WHY WOULD ANY ADULT DO THIS?!"

Laddu cleared his throat politely.

Laddu:"Madam…it was a verification process."

Rosy's soul cracked.

Rosy:"VERIFICATION FOR WHAT?!A ZOO APPLICATION?!"

Laddu nodded seriously.

Laddu:"Yes."

💀💀💀

Cousin collapsed laughing.Mother covered her mouth, fighting a smile.Mochi buried her face in a pillow.

Rosy threw her hands up.

Rosy:"You are INSANE!"

Laddu bowed slightly.

Laddu:"Sorry, madam.I thought you were a fun person.My mistake."

Rosy gasped.

Rosy:"I AM a fun person!I just—YOU MADE ME MEOW IN PUBLIC!"

Candy raised her hand politely ✋.

Candy:"It was actually very cute, miss."

Rosy glared.

Candy instantly hid behind Laddu like he was a human shield 🛡️.

Rosy leaned very close to Laddu.

Rosy:"And WHY were you acting as Candy's parent at PTM?!WHERE is her REAL father?!"

Before Mochi could explode—

Laddu spoke calmly.

Laddu:"I am Candy's single father."

Mochi screamed internally.

Mochi:"HE IS NOT—"

But Rosy froze.

She looked at Laddu.

Then at Candy.

Their eyes met—

Same color.Same calm intensity.

For one terrifying second…

They actually looked related 👀👀.

Rosy's expression melted.

Completely.

Rosy:"Oh…oh no…I'm so sorry…"

Mochi slapped her own forehead.

Mochi:"HE IS NOT HER FATHER—!!"

Ignored.

Rosy sat beside Candy gently.

Rosy:"You sweet child…I didn't know you were from a single-parent home."

Candy nodded with Oscar-level drama 🎭.

Candy:"Yes miss.Life is tough."

Laddu nodded too.

Laddu:"Very tough.Sometimes noodles.Sometimes air."

Rosy gasped again.

Rosy:"No…no child should suffer like this!I came here to help Candy!"

The family stared.

Stunned.

Mochi whispered to Maya:

Mochi:"I can't believe it…he tricked her again."

Maya:"At this point, Rosy needs therapy."

Rosy held Candy's hands emotionally.

Rosy:"From today on, I will personally make sureyou get special attention, kindness, and care."

Candy's jaw dropped.

Candy:"So…no homework…?"

Rosy smiled warmly.

Rosy:"No homework.Only happiness."

Candy shot her arms into the air 🎉.

Candy:"LADDU!WE HAVE WON AGAIN!"

Rosy blinked.

Rosy:"…Won what?"

Laddu stood proudly.

Laddu:"Respect."

Mochi screamed into a pillow.

At that exact moment, Big Brother walked in.

He saw Rosy.Saw Candy.Saw Laddu.Felt the chaos.

He turned around.

And walked right back out 🚶‍♂️.
