Mochi woke up with one mission:
Don't think about the ring.
She failed in the first three seconds.
Because the very first thing she saw when she opened her eyes…
was the ring on her index finger,shining softly like a tiny sun ☀️💍.
Mochi (whispering):"…Why does it look even prettier today…?"
She turned it.Stared at it.Touched it.Tilted it toward the light.Stared again.
Her heart did backflips 🤸♀️💓.
🍳 Breakfast Chaos (Ring Edition)
Mochi walked into the kitchen, trying very hard to act normal.
She failed again.
Cousin saw the ring instantly and screamed:
Cousin:"EVERYONE!!THE ENGAGED GIRL HAS ENTERED!!"
Mochi nearly dropped the milk packet 🥛💥.
Mochi:"WE'RE NOT ENGAGED—IT'S JUST—INDEX FINGER—RELATIONSHIP—STOP—!!"
Maya slid next to her, smirking like a villain 😈.
Maya:"So you and Laddu are officially dating?"
Mochi:"N-No… I mean…he was drunk…and Mom forced…and—"
Maya:"He still put the RING on your finger."
Mochi covered her face 🙈.
Candy burst in wearing sunglasses 🕶️.
Candy:"HELLO EVERYONE.I AM MOCHI'S FUTURE BRIDESMAID."
Mochi died internally ☠️.
🛋️ Laddu: Still Asleep, Still Dangerous
Laddu was still sleeping on the sofa,hugging a pillow like it was Mochi 💤🛋️.
He murmured softly:
Laddu (sleep-talking):"Mochi…don't go anywhere…"
Mochi's heart exploded 💥💓.
Mother giggled.
Mother:"I think someone is already your husband."
Mochi turned red like a ripe tomato 🍅🔥.
🧼 Mochi Tries to Work — Fails Spectacularly
Washing dishes?👉 stared at the ring
Sweeping floor?👉 stared at the ring
Drying clothes?👉 stared👉 at👉 the👉 ring
Maya whispered to Cousin:
Maya:"She's been staring at that thing for 40 minutes."
Cousin:"True love makes people stupid."
Mochi heard that.
Mochi:"I AM NOT STUPID—!"
She walked straight into the wall 🧱💥.
Candy clapped 👏.
Candy:"Love makes you blind also!"
🔍 The Discovery
Later, alone in her room,Mochi slowly twisted the ring again…
And then—
She saw it.
A tiny engraving inside.
Her breath caught.
Her heart stopped.
Inside the ring, in delicate letters:
"LADDU"
Mochi's eyes widened 😳.
Mochi:"…His… name…?"
She touched the engraving gently with her thumb.
Why was his name there?
Did he plan this…?Did he choose this ring…?For her…?
Her cheeks burned.
Her chest felt tight.
Mochi:"Did he… choose this ring… just for me…?"
She buried her face in her pillow immediately 🛏️🙈.
🚪 Cousin & Maya: Investigation Mode
Cousin barged in.
Cousin:"MOCHI! I KNEW IT!"
Mochi:"Knew WHAT?!"
Cousin pointed dramatically 👉.
Cousin:"That you're staring at the ring again!"
Maya popped in too.
Maya:"Let me see it! Show me!"
Mochi:"No— it's embarrassing—!"
Cousin gently grabbed Mochi's wrist.
Both gasped at the same time 😱.
Cousin:"THERE'S A NAME INSIDE—!!"
Maya:"Oh my god.He literally marked it.LIKE A CLAIM."
Mochi nearly evaporated.
Mochi:"It's not— it's not like that—!"
Candy ran in.
Candy:"I heard there is branding involved?"
Mochi:"CANDY GET OUT!!"
😴 Meanwhile… Laddu Wakes Up
Laddu finally woke up, stretching like a lazy cat 🐱.
Messy hair.Sleepy eyes.Zero memory.
Laddu:"Why is everyone screaming today…?"
Then he saw Mochi.
She instinctively tried to hide her hand.
Too late.
A small smile formed on his face.
Soft.Warm.Knowing.
Laddu:"You looked at the ring a lot today, didn't you?"
Mochi's soul left her body again 👻.
Mochi:"N-No… I… wasn't…"
Laddu leaned slightly closer.
Laddu:"You found the engraving?"
Mochi froze.
He smiled like he had been waiting.
Laddu:"I put it there on purpose."
Mochi forgot how to breathe 😵💫.
🍽️ The Melt Bomb
Laddu walked past everyone and sat at the dining table.
Picked up his glass of water.
Looked at Mochi casually.
Laddu:"Eat before it melts."
🧊💥🧊
The room FROZE.
Candy's jaw dropped.Cousin grabbed Maya.Big Brother held his chest.Mother gasped.
Mother:"Wait… it's chocolate?!"
Mochi's eyes shimmered.
Mochi (soft):"M… melt…?"
She touched the ring again.
Her heartbeat thundered 🌩️💓.
Laddu chuckled.
Laddu:"It's a boyfriend joke.Relax."
EVERYONE SCREAMED INTERNALLY.
Cousin:"BOYFRIEND JOKE?!!"
Maya:"He's not even hiding it anymore!"
Candy:"She is melting before the ring melts!"
Mochi covered her face, trembling.
Mochi:"S-STOP EMBARRASSING ME!"
Laddu gestured calmly.
Laddu:"Mochi.Come here."
Her legs felt weak.
Mother whispered loudly:
Mother:"Go, idiot."
Mochi walked toward Laddu slowly, like gravity was pulling her 💫.
She stood beside him.
Hands shaking.
Laddu reached into his pocket.
Slow.Careful.Serious.
And pulled out…
✨ A SECOND RING ✨
Real.Elegant.Different.
The room stopped breathing.
Candy covered her mouth.Cousin grabbed Maya.Big Brother stood up straight.Mother's eyes filled with tears.
Laddu looked up at Mochi.
Completely sober now.
Laddu:"The first one was for teasing.This one…"
He opened the box.
Laddu:"…is for choosing."
Mochi's knees almost gave out.
Her heart beat once.
Then twice.
Then lost its mind 💓💥.
Laddu:"Mochi…do you want to wear this one…for real?"
And for the first time—
Mochi didn't run.Didn't hide.Didn't deny.
She looked at him.
Eyes shining.
Hands trembling.
And nodded.
Just once.
Slow.
Yes.
