This time…
Her name was engraved inside.
Mochi's eyes widened 😳Her lips parted.Her entire world paused.
Mochi:"M-My… name…?"
Laddu showed the ring gently, like he was revealing something sacred 🤲.
Laddu:"You found my name in the first ring.So you should also have your own."
Behind them—
Everyone collectively lost their minds.
Everyone:"OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!" 😱🎉
Maya shoved Cousin.Cousin screamed into a cushion.Candy spun like a tornado 🌀.Big Brother whispered in shock:
Big Brother:"…They are basically married now."
Mochi's hands shook as she lifted the ring.
She didn't know what to do.Her brain was gone.Her heart was doing parkour 🫀🏃♀️.
She looked at Laddu.
He looked back.
Soft eyes.No teasing.Just honest.
Laddu:"Put it on."
Mochi swallowed hard.
She lifted her hand—
And in pure panic…
She put the ring on her pinky finger.
💀
Silence.
Then chaos.
Maya:"SHE PUT IT ON THE DIVORCE FINGER!!"
Cousin:"Oh no— OH NO—!"
Candy:"Mochi why are you divorcing him before dating him?!"
Mochi turned BRIGHT RED 🔥.
Mochi:"I—I DIDN'T MEAN—I PANICKED—!!"
Mother marched forward and lightly smacked the back of Mochi's head 👋.
Mother:"Index finger, you fool!"
Mochi almost cried from embarrassment 😭.
She yanked the ring off her pinky—
Hands trembling—
And slid it onto her index finger.
The relationship finger.
Silence.
Then—
EVERYONE SCREAMED.
Cousin:"SHE DID IT!!"
Maya:"THE RELATIONSHIP RING IS ON!!"
Candy:"WE ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO MARRIAGE!"
Big Brother saluted Laddu 🫡.Father smiled like this was already settled.Mother clapped proudly 👏.
Mochi hid her face.
Mochi:"…I can't handle this…"
Laddu stood up casually.
Stretched.
Like he didn't just emotionally destroy everyone.
Laddu:"Okay.Mother, I'm hungry."
And he walked into the kitchen 🍜.
Calm.Normal.Menace.
Leaving Mochi there with a racing heart and shaking knees.
Cousin (whispering):"He proposes and then goes to eat.This man is dangerous."
Mochi stared at the ring.
Her name.His choice.
And whispered:
Mochi:"Why does he make it so hard…not to love him…?"
Then—
Mother tapped Mochi on the head again.
Mother:"You idiot.The second ring is for Laddu.Not you."
Mochi froze.
Mochi:"…WHAT?!"
Maya and Cousin EXPLODED laughing 🤣.Candy dropped her juice box 🧃.Big Brother covered his face.
Mochi panicked.
Mochi:"I—I didn't know!He just gave it— and I— and then—!"
Mother shoved the ring back into Mochi's hand.
Mother:"Put it on Laddu's index finger.Now."
Mochi looked at the ring…
Then at Laddu.
Who was casually eating noodles like nothing in the world mattered 🍜😌.
She walked toward him slowly.
Laddu noticed.
Smirked.
Laddu:"Oh?Another ring ceremony?"
Mochi almost died.
Mochi:"S-Stop teasing!Give me your hand—!"
Laddu hid his hand behind his back.
Laddu:"No."
Mochi:"What do you mean NO?!"
Laddu:"I am a shy boy."
Everyone watching:"LIES." 😑
Mochi reached again.
Laddu switched hands like a ninja 🥷.
Maya:"He's doing this on purpose."
Cousin:"He wants her to chase him."
Candy:"ADORABLE IDIOT!"
Mochi leaned closer, voice soft but desperate.
Mochi:"Laddu…give me your hand…"
Laddu:"I don't want to get married today."
Mochi:"IT'S NOT MARRIAGE!IT'S A RELATIONSHIP RING!"
Laddu:"Ohhh.Then I definitely shouldn't give my hand."
Mochi grabbed his wrist.
He slipped away.
She grabbed again.
He dodged again.
Mother finally snapped.
Mother:"LADDU!GIVE YOUR HAND BEFORE SHE BREAKS IT!"
Laddu froze instantly.
Laddu:"…Yes mother."
He extended his hand obediently ✋.
Mochi swallowed hard.
She held his hand.
Warm.Steady.Way too much.
He looked at her and smirked.
Laddu:"Oh no.I feel shy."
Mochi's face exploded red 🔥.
Mochi:"STOP IT!"
With all her courage…
She slid the ring onto Laddu's index finger.
Slowly.Carefully.Her fingers brushing his skin.
Everyone gasped 😮.
Cousin:"THE COUPLE HAS MATCHING RINGS NOW!!"
Maya:"They're officially OFFICIAL!"
Candy:"This is better than TV!"
Big Brother (softly):"I must protect both of them now…"
Laddu lifted his hand, admiring the ring.
Laddu:"Oh.It fits perfectly.My future wife chooses well."
Mochi nearly fainted.
Mochi:"LA—LADDU!!"
He stood up.
Stretched.
Walked toward the kitchen again.
Laddu:"I am hungry.Relationship makes me hungrier."
Mochi stood frozen.
Soul buffering.Heart racing.
Maya hugged Cousin.Candy danced 💃.Mother whispered happily:
Mother:"Finally…she put a ring on him."
Mochi looked at Laddu's hand.
The ring shining.
Matching hers.
And her heart whispered:
Mochi (soft):"…So we really look like a couple now."
Mochi stood there, face burning 🔥, heartbeat doing Olympic gymnastics 🤸♀️💓, staring at the ring now resting perfectly on Laddu's index finger.
Everyone admired the moment.
It was sweet.
Romantic.
Emotional.
Until—
Laddu made a tiny sound.
"pfft."
Then a small laugh.
Then another.
Then—
He LOST IT.
Laddu:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA—!!"
He clapped his hands like a circus seal 🦭👏👏.
Candy saw him laughing and instantly joined like it was her life mission.
Candy:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Now there were two idiots laughing.
Louder.
And louder.
And louder.
Everyone blinked in confusion 😶.
Cousin:
"Why are THEY laughing?!"
Maya:
"Did something snap in their brains?"
Mother:
"I'm scared…"
Big Brother:
"They must be drunk again."
Laddu laughed so hard tears pooled in his eyes 😂💦.
Candy fell to the floor, rolling.
Mochi stared at him, embarrassed and confused.
Mochi:
"W-Why are you laughing?!"
Laddu pointed at her hand, still laughing like a machine gun.
Laddu (between laughs):
"Mochi… HAHAHA…
you PUT TWO RINGS…
on YOUR OWN HAND—!!"
Mochi froze.
She looked down.
Ring one: Laddu's name.
Ring two: the ring meant for Laddu.
Her face turned nuclear 🍓☢️.
Mochi:
"THAT WAS— THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT—!!"
Laddu bent over laughing harder.
Laddu:
"WHO DOES THAT?!
Who proposes to THEMSELVES?!
HAHAHAHA!!"
Candy screamed while rolling:
Candy:
"MOCHI GOT ENGAGED TO HERSELF!!"
Cousin collapsed onto the sofa 🤣.
Maya couldn't breathe.
Mother had to sit down.
Father hid behind the newspaper.
Big Brother whispered gravely:
Big Brother:
"…Even the army doesn't train you for this level of stupidity."
Mochi covered her face with both hands 🙈.
Mochi:
"S-STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!"
Laddu finally slowed, laughter softening.
He lifted her hand gently 🤲.
Laddu (teasing, soft):
"It's okay.
If you want to put rings on your own hand…
I won't stop you."
Mochi wanted the floor to open and swallow her.
Mochi:
"I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE—!!!"
He squeezed her hand playfully.
Laddu:
"You're very cute when you panic."
Mochi's heart combusted 💥💓.
Candy shouted:
Candy:
"DO IT AGAIN, MOCHI! PUT A THIRD RING!"
Mochi:
"NOOOOOO!!"
Laddu laughed again, softer now, warm.
Laddu:
"Don't worry.
Next time I'll help you put it on the right hand."
The room froze 🧊.
Candy fainted dramatically.
Cousin screamed.
Maya threw a pillow into the air.
Laddu wiped a tear, trying very hard to calm down.
Laddu:
"Okaaay… okay… I'm done laughing now…"
He inhaled deeply.
Straightened.
Serious face 😐.
Mochi glared at him, tomato-red.
Mochi:
"Good.
Please stop now."
Laddu:
"Yes.
I'm calm.
Completely calm."
Everyone exhaled in relief 😮💨.
Candy sipped juice like she was watching live drama 🧃.
Big Brother massaged his temples.
Cousin whispered:
Cousin:
"He's finally normal again."
Maya leaned in.
Maya:
"Wait for it…"
Laddu turned his eyes to Mochi.
Really looked.
Her red cheeks.
Her nervous lips.
Her panicked eyes.
He froze.
Two seconds.
Everyone held their breath.
Then—
Laddu:
"PFFT—HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!!"
Chaos returned 💥😂.
He clapped again.
CLAP! CLAP!
Candy instantly joined like his laughter sidekick.
Candy:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Mochi stomped her foot.
Mochi:
"STOP LAUGHING AT MY FACE!!"
Laddu couldn't breathe.
Laddu:
"I CAN'T—HAHAHA—
YOU LOOK—
LIKE A SCARED STRAWBERRY—!!"
Mochi covered her face again.
Mochi:
"STOPPP!!
DON'T LOOK AT ME!!"
Every time she hid her face…
Laddu tried to stop.
Every time she peeked out…
BOOM — laughter rebooted.
Laddu:
"HAHA— you're— so dumb—HAHAHA—!!"
Mochi:
"S-STOP CALLING ME DUMB!!
STOP LAUGHING!!"
Mother tried to scold him.
Mother:
"Laddu, behave—!"
Laddu pointed dramatically.
Laddu:
"How can I behave—
when she keeps looking like THAT—HAHAHA—!!"
Mochi grabbed a pillow and threw it 🛋️💥.
Laddu dodged, laughing.
Candy cheered:
Candy:
"TEAM LAUGHTER VS TEAM MOCHI!"
Cousin wheezed.
Maya collapsed laughing.
Father sighed:
Father:
"They should get married before they destroy the house."
Laddu forced himself to stop again.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Serious face… again.
He turned slowly.
Mochi glared.
Mochi:
"…Don't."
Laddu bit his lip.
Tried.
Really tried.
Then—
Laddu:
"PFFT—HAHAHAHAHAHA—!!"
Mochi screamed:
Mochi:
"LADDUUUUUU!!"
