Mochi was still glued to Laddu in the back seat, arms locked around him like gravity personally reported to her for duty 🌍🔒Her eyes were half-closed.Her mind was floating somewhere between noodles, wine, and chaos.But her mouth?
Running on pure, unfiltered honesty 🎙️🔥
Suddenly, she lifted her head.
Mochi (very serious drunk voice):
"Laddu… Komal told me…""…to beat you from time to time…""…so you stay in control."
💀💀💀💀💀
The entire car DIED.
Candy:
"WHAT?!" 😱
Maya exploded into laughter 🤣Cousin nearly dropped her phone 📱💥Mother covered her mouth 😭Father muttered from the front seat:
Father:
"Not again… I just want peace…" 🚗😵
Laddu stared at Mochi like she had just unlocked a new horror DLC.
Laddu:
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
Mochi blinked innocently.
Mochi:
"She told me. Komal said you act too much.""So I must keep you in line."
Laddu threw his hands up dramatically.
Laddu:
"YOU BREAK CUPS!""YOU LIFT ME WITH ONE HAND!""If you beat me, I will be in HOSPITAL!"
Mochi frowned.
Mochi:
"I don't break cups."
Candy instantly raised her hand.
Candy:
"You broke two this morning." ✋😐
Mochi nodded thoughtfully.
Mochi:
"Those cups were weak."
Laddu pointed at her like a courtroom lawyer.
Laddu:
"YOU ARE STRONG LIKE MILITARY TRUCK!" 🚛"One slap from you and my ANCESTORS will feel it!"
Mochi grabbed his collar.
Mochi:
"You don't trust me?"
Laddu:
"I TRUST YOU!""I DON'T TRUST YOUR HANDS!" 🙌💥
Maya was dying laughing.
Maya:
"Mochi, please don't beat him. He's too small."
Laddu:
"THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!" 😭
Mochi ignored everyone and leaned her forehead against his.
Mochi (soft, dangerous):
"I'll beat you gently."
⚰️⚰️⚰️
Laddu's soul exited his body and went for tea.
Laddu:
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GENTLE BEATING FROM YOU!"
Mother wiped tears of laughter.
Mother:
"She's drunk. She won't remember."
Laddu looked HORRIFIED.
Laddu:
"BUT MY BODY WILL REMEMBER!"
Mochi hugged him again, warm, clingy, terrifyingly affectionate.
Mochi (murmuring):
"Don't worry…""I'll take care of you…""Even if I beat you."
Laddu:
"THIS IS THE SCARIEST COMFORTING LINE I HAVE EVER HEARD!"
Father shouted:
Father:
"STOP THREATENING EACH OTHER AND LET ME DRIVE!"
Mochi traced a finger down Laddu's cheek, eyes heavy, voice soft.
Mochi:
"If you misbehave…""I'll beat you…""Then I'll hug you."
Laddu melted.
Laddu:
"…This is emotional torture."
Mochi smiled warmly.
Mochi:
"Husband."
Laddu:
"I AM NOT— okay fine, whatever, JUST DON'T HIT ME!"
💥 The car exploded into laughter again 💥
Home Base: No Escape Zone 🏠🐼
The car finally rolled to a stop in front of the house.
Mother sighed in relief 😮💨Father wiped sweat from his forehead 😓Candy jumped out happily 🏃♀️Maya and Cousin grabbed bags like survivors 👜
Grandma, Grandpa, and Lie had already taken a taxi earlier —retreating like soldiers escaping a battlefield 🚕💨
But Mochi?
Still glued to Laddu like he was oxygen itself 🫂
Mother:
"Okay, we are home. Let go of him."
Mochi:
"No."
Father:
"Mochi, let the boy breathe."
Mochi:
"No breathing unless he stays with me."
Laddu:
"I— I need oxygen— please—"
Mochi growled softly and tightened her arms.
Mochi:
"Mine."
Cousin whispered:
"She's like a drunk panda hugging bamboo." 🐼🎋
Maya nodded.
"And the bamboo is dying."
Laddu gathered his remaining courage.
Laddu:
"Fine… I'll carry you inside."
Mochi's face lit up like fireworks 🎆
Mochi:
"Good husband."
Laddu:
"STOP CALLING ME— forget it. Let's go."
He slid one arm under her legs and the other behind her back, lifting her bridal-style again 💪She relaxed instantly, eyes half-closed, content like a sleepy cat 😴🐱
Mother opened the door.
Mother:
"Bring her in carefully. She bumps her head easily."
Laddu nodded and stepped inside—
THE NEAR-DISASTER 😱💋
Mochi suddenly cupped his cheeks with both hands.
Mochi (soft, deadly):
"Laddu…"
Laddu froze mid-step.
Laddu:
"…Yes?"
She leaned closer.
Closer.
Dangerously closer.
Mochi:
"I want to kiss you."
💀💀💀💀💀
Laddu almost dropped her.
Laddu:
"WHAT— NO— YOU'RE DRUNK— STOP— DON'T—"
She leaned in again.
Closer.
Mother gasped 😱Cousin screamed into her scarf 🧣Maya covered Candy's eyes 🙈Father almost fainted 😵
Laddu panicked, twisting his head left, right, up, down —but Mochi followed like a heat-seeking missile 🎯
Mochi:
"Stay still…""Husband…""I'm kissing you."
Laddu (broken voice):
"I AM NOT HUSBAND— EVASIVE MANEUVERS—"
Her nose bumped his cheek 👃Her lips grazed his jaw 😵Her forehead hit his chin 💥
PURE CHAOS.
Mother whispered urgently:
Mother:
"Stop moving! She'll bite your ear!"
Laddu:
"EXACTLY WHY I'M MOVING!"
Finally, Mochi grabbed both sides of his face.
Firm.No escape.
Mochi:
"Got you."
Laddu gulped.
Laddu:
"Mochi… don't— you'll regret— this is not logical—"
She leaned in—
And at the last second—
Laddu turned his head so fast she kissed his ear instead.
Mochi:
"Mmm."
Laddu (internally screaming):
"THAT WAS MY EAR!!"
Cousin collapsed laughing 🤣Maya took a picture 📸Candy yelled:
Candy:
"SISTER KISSED HIS EAR! EWWW— CUTE!"
Mother covered her mouth 😭Father whispered:
Father:
"I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything."
Mochi sighed happily, still hugging him.
Mochi:
"Husband tastes nice."
Laddu:
"I AM GOING TO DIE IN YOUR ARMS—"
Mochi rested her head on his shoulder, peaceful.
Mochi (soft):
"Good. Stay with me."
And Laddu carried her inside…Breathing like a man who had barely escaped fate, destiny, and a drunk panda's love 🐼❤️
