When no one was watching 👀❌When Laddu was busy arguing with Grandpa about salt levels 🧂When Lie was pretending he wasn't dying inside 😐When the waiter thought the danger had passed…
💥 Mochi made her move. 💥
🍶 Sip three.🍶 Sip four.🍶 (A sip she definitely did not need.)
She placed the glass down carefully…too carefully…
Then—
She hugged Laddu from the side, cheek pressing into his shoulder, arms wrapping around him like he was the last stable thing in the universe 🤗💖
Laddu froze.
System error.Brain.exe stopped responding. 🧠💥
FAMILY REACTION — SLOW MOTION EDITION
Mother's smile froze mid-breath 😳Maya's chopsticks slipped from her hand 😨Cousin whispered, "Oh no… it's starting…" 😱Candy leaned forward like this was the best show of her life 🤩Granny adjusted her glasses 👵Grandpa squinted suspiciously 👴Lie felt his competitive spirit die a second death 💔⚰️
Mochi smiled.A soft, dangerous smile.
Then she picked up a dumpling 🥟…and fed Laddu with her own hand.
Laddu's soul left his body, waved goodbye, and applied for asylum elsewhere 👻
Laddu (weak):
"…Mochi… did you drink?"
Mochi straightened immediately.
She lifted her chin.Eyes sharp.Confidence unlocked.
Mochi:
"That is my RIGHT." ✋"I am TWENTY-ONE.""I am an ADULT."
She poked his chest.
Mochi:
"And YOU are TWENTY-THREE.""So uncle… shut up." 🧓❌
⚡ CRITICAL DAMAGE ⚡Laddu's eyes widened so hard even Lie flinched 👀Candy SCREAMED laughing 🤣Maya fell backward off her chair 💀Cousin slapped the table 🫠Granny started chuckling 😭And Grandpa—
Grandpa burst out laughing, pointing proudly.
Grandpa:
"That's my girl!" 👑🔥
Lie quietly died a little more inside.
THE STRANGER INCIDENT (A.K.A. PUBLIC DECLARATION ARC)
A girl from the next table approached politely 😊She had no idea she was walking into history.
Girl:
"Excuse me… you two look so cute together."
Mochi lifted her head slowly.Wine confidence at MAXIMUM. 🍷💯No hesitation.No filter.
Mochi:
"Thank you. He is my husband." 💍😌
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀Laddu choked so hard Candy had to smack his back.
Candy:
"WHY DOES HE KEEP DYING?!" 😆
Maya spit out her drink 🤯Cousin wheezed 🤣Grandpa shouted: "WHAT?!"Granny whispered: "Already? We missed wedding?"Lie felt like the universe personally bullied him 🥢💔
Girl:
"Oh— congratulations?" 😳
Laddu waved his hands frantically like an airplane about to crash ✈️
Laddu:
"No no no no— not husband— she's drunk— this is not legal—"
Too late.
Mochi had already grabbed the bottle again 🍶🔥
Mochi:
"Cheers to marriage!" 🥂
Laddu:
"Mochi NO— STOP— THERE IS NO MARRIAGE—"
She hugged the bottle possessively.
Mochi:
"Let me drink for our honeymoon." 🌙💕
Laddu:
"HONEY— WHAT— THERE IS NO MOON—"
Mochi:
"Then create moon." 😌✨
Laddu nearly fainted again.
The girl slowly backed away like she just witnessed an exorcism.
Girl (whisper):
"…Good luck." 🏃♀️💨
THE PROPOSAL THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST
Mochi leaned closer.Voice soft.Eyes glowing.
Mochi:
"Then marry me."
🧨 TOTAL TABLE COLLAPSE 🧨Candy screamed.Maya collapsed.Cousin slapped herself.Grandpa searched for a priest.Granny clutched Grandpa's arm.Lie stared into the void.
Laddu whispered, barely alive:
Laddu:
"…Tall flower, please stop before I actually say yes." 😭
Mochi giggled.
Mochi:
"Then don't stop me." 😇
DRUNK WIFE MODE: FINAL FORM 🌀👰♀️
Mochi clung to Laddu's arm like a koala 🐨
Mochi:
"Husband… take me home." 🏠
Laddu:
"I am NOT— okay stand up, we're leaving." 😵
She wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mochi:
"Carry me." 💖
Laddu sighed like a defeated hero 🫠…and lifted her bridal-style 💪👰♀️
Candy jumped up:
"BIG BROTHER IS RESCUING PRINCESS MOCHI!" 👑
Maya grabbed her coat:
"I need front-row seats!" 🎥Cousin:
"This movie is illegal!"Mother:
"Support her head!"Father paid the bill in silence like a man questioning life choices 😐
Grandpa waved dramatically:
"TAKE THE DRUNK EARTHQUAKE!" 🌪️Granny:
"KEEP HER AWAY FROM ALCOHOL AND KNIVES!" ⚠️
👏 ENTIRE RESTAURANT WATCHED 👏Someone clapped.An old lady blessed them.A kid shouted:
"CONGRATULATIONS ON MARRIAGE!" 🎉
Laddu nearly dropped her.
Mochi giggled:
"See? Everyone knows you're my husband." 😌
Laddu (whispering):
"If you say that again I will actually die." 😵
MEANWHILE… LIE (SIDE QUEST: SUFFERING)
Lie sat alone.
Waiter:
"Sir, your family left. Who pays?"
Lie stared at the bill 💸Then at the empty chairs 🪑Then at his life.
Lie:
"…They weren't my family." 💀
He paid anyway.Because fate hates him.
Outside, he saw Laddu carrying Mochi away, her arms around him like she belonged there.
Lie exhaled slowly.
Lie:
"…I never stood a chance." 😞
🚗 A car passed.The masked man glanced out.
Masked Man:
"Should we take him?"
Jalebi:
"No." ❌
The car drove away.
