Cousin fainted laughing.Maya wheezed.Candy rolled on the floor.

Laddu was still sitting comfortably on Mochi's lap, legs dangling like a spoiled prince 👑

He peeked at her phone and grinned.

Laddu:"Tall Flower…you're going viral too."

Mochi's eye twitched.

She grabbed his cheeks and squeezed.

Mochi:"This.Is.YOUR.FAULT."

Candy hugged them tightly.

Candy:"You stay forever!"

Father nodded like a general.

Father:"Correct.Otherwise he will make new news."

Mother agreed instantly.

Mother:"That boy will become an international mascot."

Laddu, however, looked DELIGHTED.

He adjusted deeper into Mochi's lap like a cat preparing for winter 🐈

Laddu:"So… we live together now?"

Mochi blushed but stayed firm.

Mochi:"No mall.No café.No school visits.No flirting with teachers.NO wearing my face outside."

Laddu gasped dramatically.

Laddu:"But that's my brand!"

💥 PILLOW TO THE HEAD

Mochi:"SHUT UP."

Everyone laughed again.

THREE WEEKS OF LOCKDOWN 🏠⏳

And so…House arrest began.

• Laddu worked from home 💻• Mochi guarded the door like a bouncer 🚪• Candy delivered snacks 🍪• Maya and Cousin teased daily 😏• Mother observed relationship growth 🧠• Father gave random wisdom 🧙‍♂️

Social media still buzzed:

📱 "Is that the Mochi Boy?"📱 "Marry him please."📱 "Where did he buy the outfit?"

Father shook his head.

Father:"He's more popular than movie stars."

Mother sighed.

Mother:"They'll make posters next."

Laddu puffed his chest.

Laddu:"I'm a celebrity."

💥 Cushion to head.

Mochi:"No.You're a homebound disaster."

But Laddu smiled.

He liked being stuck with her. 💖

THREE WEEKS LATER 🌅

The headlines vanished.Trends changed.Peace returned.

Mother announced:

Mother:"It's over.The story died."

Cheers erupted.

Mochi sighed in relief.

But Laddu hugged her waist like a clingy cat.

Laddu:"…Can we stay locked in longer?"

Mochi:"No."

Laddu:"Please?"

Mochi flicked his forehead.

Mochi:"Idiot."

He smiled softly.

Laddu:"But I'm your idiot."

Mochi turned red again.

Mother whispered to Father:

Mother:"She lost."

Father nodded calmly.

Father:"She lost long ago." 😌💍
