Chapter 88 - Chapter 88 — Curtains, Compliments & Chaos

Mochi and Laddu were still on the sofa.Close enough that their breaths tangled softly between them.

Her cheeks glowed pink 🌸His eyes glowed with confidence he absolutely did not have this morning 😌

Neither of them noticed…

👀 Three heads peeking from behind the wallMaya.Mother.Cousin.

All silent.All invested.All holding imaginary popcorn 🍿

Cousin (whispering):"They're finally doing romance."

Maya (dramatic whisper):"Shhh. Don't breathe. We'll scare them."

Mother (experienced authority):"Let them be… I need to know how far he goes."

They leaned in further.

💥 The Compliment Explosion Continues

Laddu gently took Mochi's hand like it was treasure 💍

Laddu (soft):"Mochi… your eyes are like stars."

Mochi blinked rapidly.

Mochi:"L-Laddu—"

Laddu:"When you look at me… it feels like the whole sky is paying attention."

Behind the wall:All three women screamed silently into their palms 😱

Mochi's ears burned 🔥

She tried pulling her hand away.Laddu held it softly.

Laddu:"Mochi… your hands are like cotton."

Mochi (covering face):"Wh-what does that even mean…?"

Laddu:"Soft. Warm. Perfect to hold."

Mother bit her lip, smiling proudly 😊Cousin nearly fainted.Maya whispered:

Maya:"If someone said this to me, I'd marry them on the spot."

Mochi's heartbeat started parkour 🏃‍♀️💓

🌈 Hair, Height & Critical Hits

Laddu brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Laddu (soft laugh):"Mochi… your hair is like a rainbow."

Mochi (red):"Rainbow?! It's just black!"

Laddu:"Rainbows aren't always colors.Sometimes they're just something you can't stop staring at."

Behind the wall:

Mother:"This boy is dangerous."

Cousin:"Flirting Level 7."

Maya:"No. 8.5."

Then Laddu scooted closer.

Laddu:"Mochi… your height makes you the hottest."

💥 CRITICAL HIT

Mochi grabbed a pillow and hid.

Mochi (muffled):"STOOOP—!!"

Laddu gently pulled it down.

Laddu:"Strong. Beautiful. And very, very attractive."

Mochi forgot every language she knew 🧠❌

🚨 Spy Failure

SNEEZE!!

Maya fell out from behind the wall.Mother stumbled.Cousin tripped and collapsed forward.

All three froze mid-fall.

Silence.

Mochi's soul left her body 👻Laddu stared.

Mother (smiling innocently):"We were… passing by."

Cousin (saluting):"Carry on."

Maya (thumbs up from floor):"Don't mind us."

Mochi screamed into her hands.

Laddu:"Next time I flirt, we need curtains."

🍽️ Dinner Chaos Begins

Dinner was unusually quiet.

Only women at the table.

Mochi was still red like emergency lights 🚨

Candy:"She's in love syndrome."

Door opened.

Laddu entered, whistling like he didn't drop emotional nukes earlier 🎶

The moment he saw Mochi blush again—

His ears twitched.

Candy:"He's blushing too!"

Laddu:"It's cold!"

💣 Mother Drops Bombs

They sat across from each other.Silent ping-pong of eye contact.

Mother smiled knowingly 😌

Mother:"I was thinking…"

Everyone froze.

Mother:"Maybe you two should move to an apartment."

💥💥💥

Maya:"MARRIAGE ARC?!"

Mochi turned into a supernova 🌋

Mochi:"M-M-MAA!!"

Laddu froze mid-blink.

Laddu:"ok."

💣 SECOND BOMB

Mother lifted her hand.

Mother:"But I decided."

Silence.

Mother:"You two will NOT go anywhere until marriage."

Mochi collapsed on the table.

Mochi:"Maa!! WHY—?!"

Laddu's voice went small.

Laddu:"Marriage… already…?"

Mother wasn't done.

She looked at Mochi calmly.

Mother:"What if you get pregnant?"

💀💀💀

Laddu fell off his chair.Candy screamed laughing.Maya choked.Cousin clutched her stomach.

Mochi:"MOTHER!!!"

Laddu (from floor):"I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING YET!!"

Candy:"Yet."

🌪️ Chapter Ends With…

Mochi hiding her face 🙈Laddu laughing nervously 😅

Laddu:"Marriage… apartment… pregnant… nice…"

Mother smiled, fully satisfied.

Mother:"Eat properly, my little little sugar ball 🍬You're growing children."

Both:"WE ARE NOT CHILDREN!!"

Mother:"You will always be for me."

She winked 😉
