Candy, now fully committed to destruction, reached for the next envelope. 💌😈
Mochi grabbed her wrist mid-air.
Mochi:
"Candy.
Stop.
I am begging you—" 🛑
Candy sniffed the envelope dramatically.
Candy:
"But Mochi boss… it smells like perfume!" 👃💨
Before anyone could stop her—
✂️ RIP.
A wave of expensive, rich-people perfume flooded the room. 🌸💎
Cousin coughed violently.
Cousin:
"Oh this is RICH-RICH fragrance." 😷
Maya leaned back like she was watching billionaire gossip.
Maya:
"Who is this one? Miss money?" 🤑
Mother adjusted her seat.
Mother:
"I feel danger." ⚠️
Father crossed his arms.
Father:
"I am emotionally prepared." 🧍♂️
Candy cleared her throat and began reading.
💌 LETTER — "THE ISLAND WOMAN"
Candy (reading):
"'Hello my sweet Laddu…'"
Everyone cringed instantly. 😬
Candy:
"'You are young…
beautiful…
and full of fire.'"
Maya:
"OH LORD—" 🙈
Cousin:
"She started like a romance novel!" 📖
Mochi's jaw tightened.
Mochi (low):
"Who… is… she…" 😡
Candy continued.
Candy:
"'I am older…
wiser…
and very rich.'"
The room froze. ❄️
Cousin:
"OH NO— SUGAR MOMMY ALERT—" 🚨
Maya:
"I KNEW IT— MONEY WOMAN—" 💸
Father:
"I'm not paid enough for this family." 🧾
Mother hid a smile.
Mother:
"This will be entertaining." 😌
Candy's eyes widened as she read the next line.
Candy:
"'If you choose me…
I can give you your own PRIVATE ISLAND.'"
💥💥💥💥💥
Maya:
"A PRIVATE ISLAND?!?!?!?!" 🏝️😱
Cousin:
"WHY IS LADDU GETTING OFFERS LIKE A MOVIE STAR?!" 🎬
Father:
"WHERE WAS THIS WOMAN WHEN WE NEEDED PROPERTY?" 🏠
Mother slapped Father's arm.
Mother:
"FOCUS." 👋
Mochi whispered, horrified.
Mochi:
"…A private island…?" 🫥
Candy nodded proudly.
Candy:
"Yes! Island! With water!" 🌊
Candy kept reading.
Candy:
"'I will take care of you.
Buy you anything.
Make your life soft and sweet.'"
Maya:
"She's trying to BUY HIM LIKE ICE CREAM." 🍦
Cousin:
"AND HE KEPT THIS LETTER." 💀
Mochi's eye twitched.
Mochi:
"WHY IS THIS
UNDER
MY
BED." 🔥
Candy read the last line.
Candy:
"'If you ever want to escape the world…
come to me.
We will build our kingdom alone.'"
☢️ NUCLEAR REACTION. ☢️
Mother clapped laughing.
Mother:
"She wants to make him ISLAND HUSBAND!" 😂
Father paced like a lawyer.
Father:
"This letter must be destroyed." ⚖️
Maya:
"MOCHI YOU ARE COMPETING WITH AN ISLAND." 😭
Cousin:
"THE GDP OF THIS LETTER IS HIGHER THAN MY LIFE." 📈
Mochi SNAPPED.
She grabbed the letter.
✂️ RIP. RIP. RIP.
Mochi:
"NO ISLAND.
NO SUGAR MOMMY.
NO KINGDOM.
HE IS NOT FOR SALE." 🔥🔥🔥
Candy whispered:
Candy:
"…Island sound fun." 🥺
Mochi glared.
Candy hid behind Maya. 🫣
Meanwhile…
Laddu slept peacefully on Mochi's lap. 😴
Warm.
Safe.
Clueless.
He had just survived:
• being a rabbit stepfather 🐰
• being a cat father 🐱
• being offered a private island 🏝️
• emotional execution by a sugar mommy 💄
Laddu (sleep-talking):
"Mochi island… with tall flower trees…" 🌸🌴
Mochi covered her face.
Mochi:
"I'm going to FOLD this boy." 😤
The room was still vibrating.
Cousin lay on the floor laughing.
Maya couldn't breathe.
Candy clapped like fireworks.
Mother wiped tears again.
Then—
Father stood up. 🚶♂️
No words.
No jokes.
He picked up EVERY LOVE LETTER.
Perfume.
Lipstick.
Insanity.
Islands.
Rabbits.
Cats.
He walked into the bathroom like a priest.
🚪
🚽
📜📜📜
FLUSH.
FLUSH.
FLUUUUUSH.
Maya whispered:
Maya:
"He's performing an EXORCISM." 👻
Cousin nodded.
Cousin:
"House purification ritual." 🕯️
Father returned.
Calm.
Holy.
Father:
"It is done.
This house is clean." 🙏
Candy clapped.
Candy:
"Bye bye letters!" 👋
Mother smiled.
Mother:
"You protected Mochi's heart." ❤️
But Mochi…
She didn't laugh.
She didn't shout.
She didn't move.
She just sat there.
Laddu sleeping on her chest.
Trusting.
Happy.
Her fingers brushed his hair.
Slow.
Gentle.
Cold. ❄️
Mochi (quiet):
"He hid all of that.
Under my bed."
She looked at him.
Mochi:
"He lies.
He runs.
He causes chaos…"
She pulled him closer unconsciously.
Mochi:
"…and then sleeps like an angel."
Silence.
Heavy silence.
Maya (whisper):
"She's in silent mode." 😨
Cousin:
"That's the FINAL BOSS." ☠️
Mother placed a hand on Mochi's shoulder.
Mother:
"Whatever you decide… we're with you."
Mochi didn't answer.
She stared at Laddu.
Holding him.
Protecting him.
Judging him.
The storm was coming.
And somewhere…

The MONK BAG was waiting.
