Candy blinked as another page unlocked. 👀✨
Candy:
"There is one more!"
Mochi braced herself like someone about to be hit by destiny. 😤🛡️
Maya grabbed a cushion.
Cousin leaned in like a certified drama addict. 🎭
Father and Mother exchanged looks—emotional, but curious.
Candy read carefully.
📖 ENTRY: "THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED"
Candy (reading softly):
"'After I beat the senior…
he was in the hospital.
And I was in the police station.'"
The room went silent. 🫢
Not funny silence.
Heavy silence.
Mochi's hand tightened around Laddu's shoulder. 🤍
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'I thought my life was finished.
No job.
No future.
No dignity.'"
Mother whispered, voice tight.
Mother:
"He must've been terrified…"
Father nodded slowly.
Father:
"But he still stood up.
That takes courage."
Candy resumed.
Candy:
"'Then… Bob came.'"
Maya blinked.
Maya:
"Bob?
The watchman Bob?"
Cousin gasped.
Cousin:
"The Bob who drinks tea and tells weird stories?!"
Candy nodded and read on.
Candy:
"'Bob came with a lawyer…
and saved me.'"
Mochi's eyes widened. 😳
Mochi:
"Bob… saved him from jail…?"
Candy kept going.
Candy:
"'From that day…
no one dared to bully me again.'"
Cousin snapped her fingers.
Cousin:
"That explains everything!
That's why Laddu and Bob are besties!"
Mother frowned in confusion.
Mother:
"But why a watchman…?"
Candy flipped the page.
Candy:
"'People think Bob is poor.
People think Bob is simple.
But truth is…
Bob is partner with the chairman.'"
💥💥💥
Maya:
"I— I'm sorry WHAT?!"
Cousin:
"THE WATCHMAN IS CO-OWNER?!"
Father's eyes widened.
Father:
"That's… insane."
Mother covered her mouth.
Mother:
"Then why is he a watchman?!"
Candy read calmly.
Candy:
"'Bob and Chairman started company together.
Chairman studied.
Bob worked physically.
Driving, shifting, lifting, fixing… everything.'"
Maya nodded slowly.
Maya:
"So Bob built half the company with his hands."
Cousin:
"And the chairman built the other half with degrees."
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'Bob likes being watchman because he has a fantasy.'"
Everyone froze.
Mochi panicked.
Mochi:
"CANDY DON'T READ THAT PART—"
Too late.
Candy:
"'He likes when people insult him…
then find out he is partner.'"
🔥💥🔥💥🔥
Maya:
"OH MY GOD— HE'S A CHAOS KING JUST LIKE LADDU—"
Cousin:
"He hides his net worth for FUN?!"
Father blinked again and again.
Father:
"This is… a different breed of rich."
Mother laughed through shock.
Mother:
"He enjoys drama.
I respect that."
Mochi shook Laddu lightly.
Mochi:
"You befriended THIS kind of person?!
No wonder you're insane!"
Candy read the last lines.
Candy:
"'Bob always said:
Never show your power first.
Show your smile.
Power comes after.'"
The room softened.
Mochi exhaled.
Mochi (whisper):
"…So that's why he acts weak first.
Just like Laddu."
Mother nodded warmly.
Mother:
"Your boy learned from the best."
Father added:
Father:
"And chose his friends wisely."
Maya smirked.
Maya:
"No wonder Bob treats him like family."
Cousin nodded.
Cousin:
"Two weird people.
Dangerous weird."
Laddu murmured in his sleep. 😴
Laddu (sleep-talking):
"Bob… my hero…"
Candy giggled.
Candy:
"He really loves Bob!"
Mochi stroked his hair gently. 🤍
Mochi:
"He should've told me all this…
I would've understood him better."
Mother smiled at Mochi's softened expression.
Mother:
"You already understand him.
Better than he understands himself."
Candy tapped again. 👆📱
Candy:
"Another one! Another one!"
Mochi grabbed the sofa edge like she was preparing for impact. 😵💫
Maya whispered:
Maya:
"Let's see what nonsense comes next."
Cousin:
"If this is emotional again, I might cry."
Mother:
"If it's funny, I might die."
Candy cleared her throat.
📖 ENTRY: "THE BARFI ORIGIN STORY"
Candy (reading):
"'Today I decide to take a trip.
Needed fresh air.
Needed peace.
Needed to reset my brain.'"
Mochi nodded slightly.
Mochi:
"At least he knows self-care."
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'Then I meet Barfi.'"
The room leaned in.
Maya:
"Oh this will be good."
Candy read.
Candy:
"'We had eye contact for 2 seconds.
And became brothers.'"
💥💥💥
Maya:
"WHO BECOMES BROTHERS IN TWO SECONDS?!"
Cousin:
"That's faster than Wi-Fi!"
Father nodded seriously.
Father:
"Men bond fast.
This is scientifically accurate."
Mother rolled her eyes.
Mother:
"That is NOT normal."
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'Barfi's life suck.
Really suck.'"
Cousin:
"He's brutally honest."
Candy read on.
Candy:
"'But I tell him to have patience.'"
Mother softened.
Mother:
"He lifts others even when broken himself."
Father nodded.
Father:
"That's real character."
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'In India two male friends hold hand,
put hand on shoulder… very normal.'"
The room braced.
Maya:
"Oh no."
Candy read.
Candy:
"'But I found out this is not INDIA.'"
Mochi choked.
Mochi:
"WHAT DID YOU DO, LADDU?!"
Candy read faster.
Candy:
"'Me and Barfi walk like Indian bros…
hand on shoulder… very normal.'"
Maya screamed laughing.
Maya:
"I CAN'T—"
Candy read the final part.
Candy:
"'Then one guy ask us…
If we are also gay.'"
💣💥💣💥💣
The living room ERUPTED.
Maya screamed into a pillow.
Cousin rolled on the floor.
Father covered his face.
Father:
"OH MY GOD—"
Mother laughed so hard her makeup smudged.
Mother:
"They thought he was Barfi's boyfriend!"
Candy finished.
Candy:
"'That day…
we laugh until stomach pain.'"
Cousin:
"They got mistaken for a couple AND JUST LAUGHED?!"
Maya:
"Emotionally allergic, both of them."
Father sighed.
Father:
"These boys are cartoon characters."
Mother wiped tears.
Mother:
"I swear they're animated."
Mochi looked at Laddu, then gently rubbed his hair. 🤍
Mochi:
"You really attract chaos wherever you go."
Laddu murmured in sleep.
Laddu:
"Barfi… my brother…"
Candy hugged his arm.
Candy:
"He loves Barfi!"
Cousin teased:
Cousin:
"Mochi, you're dating a man who forms brotherhoods through eye contact."
Maya added:
Maya:
Honestly?
That's the least surprising thing about him.
Mochi leaned back, exhausted but smiling.
Mochi:
"I need a holiday.
Alone.
Without these idiots."
Mother smiled sweetly.
Mother:
"No.
You stay.
This is entertainment." 😌🎭
