Laddu finally stopped laughing long enough to breathe.
He wiped his eyes, looked around the room…
And then his gaze slowly slid toward Candy 😏.
A silent conversation happened.
Candy's eyes sparkled ✨Laddu's lips curved 😈
Candy:"Mission time?"
Laddu:"Mission time."
🚨 DANGER CONFIRMED 🚨
Candy sprinted like a ninja 🥷 straight to Mochi's room.
Everyone blinked.
Cousin:"What is she doing now?"
Five seconds later, Candy returned—
Holding Mochi's phone 📱.
Mochi (horrified):"CANDY! GIVE THAT BACK—!!"
Too late.
Candy proudly handed it to Laddu, then ran upstairs giggling like a gremlin 👹.
Laddu dialed a number with the calm confidence of a villain mid-plan.
He handed the phone to Mochi.
Laddu:"Here.Talk."
Mochi blinked, nervous sweat forming 😰.
Mochi:"T-Talk to who…?"
Laddu leaned back, arms crossed.
Laddu:"My first crush."
⚡ CRITICAL DAMAGE ⚡
Mochi:"F-FIRST CRUSH?!"
Laddu nodded seriously.
Laddu:"Yes.My first love.My mother."
Everyone exhaled at once 😮💨.
Mochi turned red for an entirely new reason.
She slowly lifted the phone to her ear.
Mochi (polite panic):"H-hello, aunty…?"
From upstairs, through the speaker—
Candy (fake old-lady voice):"HELLOOO BETA HOW ARE YOUUUU 👵📢"
The voice sounded like a grandmother possessed by a dying goat 🐐💀.
Mochi didn't notice.
Mochi (full panic mode):"I-I am good aunty! Namaste aunty! Good morning aunty! Thank you auntyyyy!!"
She bowed to the phone 🙇♀️Then bowed again.Then changed angle and bowed again.
The room watched in disbelief.
Mother:"…Why is she bowing to the phone?"
Cousin:"She's auditioning for daughter-in-law of the year."
Candy continued, accent getting worse.
Candy:"GOOD CHILD.NOW STAND ON ONE LEG."
Mochi instantly lifted one leg 🦩.
Mochi:"Like… like this, aunty?"
Candy cackled upstairs 😆.
Candy:"GOOD.NOW DO TEN PUSHUPS."
Mochi dropped to the floor IMMEDIATELY.
Mochi:"Yes, aunty!"
Everyone's jaws hit the floor.
Big Brother stood up and saluted 🫡.
Maya collapsed laughing 🤣.Cousin rolled off the sofa.
Mochi did ten pushups like her life depended on it.
Candy was not finished.
Candy:"NOW DO TWENTY SECONDS PLANK."
Mochi went into plank position 💪Sweating.Shaking.Determined.
Mochi (breathing hard):"A-Aunty… is this… good…?"
Candy nearly choked from laughter.
Candy:"VERY GOOD.NOW SAY:'I WILL TAKE CARE OF LADDU FOREVER.'"
Mochi froze.
Her face turned crimson 🔴.
Her voice trembled.
Mochi:"I-I will take care of Laddu… f-forever…"
🧠 Laddu's brain stopped working.🔥 His ears turned red.😳 He definitely did NOT expect that.
Everyone stared at him.
He looked away pretending to be cool 😎Failed completely.
Candy ended the call dramatically.
Candy:"OKAY BYE CHILD.BLESS YOU.MARRY MY SON."
CLICK.
Silence.
Mochi stood there, panting, hair messy, still half-plank.
Laddu lost it.
He laughed so hard he fell backward 🤣💀.
Candy ran downstairs waving the Nokia like a trophy.
Candy:"SUCCESS!!"
They high-fived ✋🔥 like criminals after a perfect heist.
Mochi stood up slowly, legs trembling.
Mochi (soft, serious):"…I talked to Laddu's mother."
The room froze 🧊.
Mother stepped forward.
Calm.Dangerously calm.
Mother:"Wait."
She looked at Laddu.
Mother:"Laddu told me…his mother doesn't speak English."
💥 TOTAL SILENCE 💥
Mochi blinked.
Looked at the phone 📱Looked at CandyLooked at Laddu—
Who was already running away laughing 🏃♂️😂.
Laddu (yelling):"GOOD JOB, CANDY!RUN BEFORE SHE KILLS US!"
Candy sprinted after him 🏃♀️💨.
Mochi (screaming):"LADDUUUU!!DID YOU MAKE ME DO PUSHUPS FOR NOTHING?!"
Laddu (from hallway):"IT WAS FOR YOUR FITNESS!!"
Mochi grabbed a pillow and launched it with god-level strength 🛋️⚡.
DIRECT HIT.
The house echoed with laughter, chaos, and one very embarrassed future girlfriend 💍😵💫.
