Mochi walked into the living room with calm confidence.
Too calm.
Suspiciously calm. 😌
She brushed her hair behind her ear.
Cleared her throat softly.
Prepared herself mentally.
Mochi:
"Laddu… can you pass—"
Before she could finish—
The baby made a tiny sound.
Baby:
"Baah."
Laddu snapped his head instantly like a soldier hearing his commander. ⚡
Laddu:
"Yes? What do you need?
Milk? 🍼
Blanket? 🧣
A throne? 👑
A private jet? ✈️"
Mochi blinked.
Mochi:
"…I was talking."
Laddu looked genuinely confused.
Laddu:
"Oh.
Sorry.
The baby talked first."
Mochi stared at him.
The baby snorted happily. 😌
From the corner—
Candy (whispering loudly to Maya):
"Big sister losing to baby.
Baby too cute."
Mochi's head turned slowly.
👁️👁️
Candy hugged a pillow and hid behind it like a criminal avoiding arrest. 🛑
THE FAMILY COMMENTARY BEGINS 🎤😂
Father leaned back, observing the situation like a documentary narrator.
Father:
"Mochi is jealous of the baby."
Mochi:
"I am NOT."
Grandma nodded instantly.
Grandma:
"You are."
Mochi:
"I— I am absolutely not."
Cousin:
"She is 100 percent."
Mochi:
"Cousin, I swear—"
Mama laughed softly, sipping her tea.
Mama:
"It's normal.
The baby is new.
Laddu is excited."
Grandpa stroked his beard thoughtfully.
Grandpa:
"He is behaving exactly like a father."
That sentence landed.
Mochi paused.
Just for a second.
Her eyes softened.
Her shoulders relaxed.
Her heart… warmed. 💗
Only for a moment.
Then—
THE FRONT DOOR EXPLODES OPEN 🌪️🚪
BANG!
Big Brother stormed inside like the house was on fire.
Big Brother:
"WHERE IS MY LITTLE BROTHER?!"
Everyone pointed.
Big Brother's face lit up like he'd seen a miracle. ✨
Big Brother:
"My little brother!! Come here!!"
Mochi thought he meant LADDU.
She was wrong.
Very wrong.
Big Brother ran straight past Laddu—
And grabbed the BABY.
Big Brother:
"AWWWWW!!
My sweet potato prince!! 🥔👶"
He lifted the baby like a trophy.
Laddu didn't even resist.
Laddu:
"Be careful.
He is… delicate."
Big Brother puffed his chest dramatically.
Big Brother:
"I SHALL PROTECT YOU WITH MY LIFE!!"
The baby burped.
Big Brother:
"He is speaking to me."
Meanwhile—
Candy leaned toward Mochi and whispered with fake sympathy.
Candy:
"Good news, big sister.
Now Big Brother is here.
You can get attention."
Mochi's eyes lit up slightly.
Candy grinned.
Candy:
"Just kidding."
Because Big Brother and Laddu immediately sat on the floor together…
And started playing with the baby like two oversized toddlers. 🧸👶
Mochi stood there.
Invisible.
Ignored.
Emotionally attacked by cuteness. 💔😂
Maya leaned closer.
Maya:
"You lost to two idiots and one potato."
ONE WEEK LATER — FAMILY STRATEGY MODE ACTIVATED 🧠📅
One full week passed.
• Laddu and Big Brother fighting over baby-holding rights
• Candy drawing moustaches on baby photos ✍️
• Grandma teaching the baby "ancient wisdom"
• Cousin taking 200 photos a day 📸
• Mochi losing every single battle for Laddu's attention
Finally—
Mama called everyone into the living room.
Mama:
"We need to discuss something."
Everyone sat.
Except Candy, who sat upside-down on the sofa. 🙃
Mama looked serious.
Mama:
"It has been one week.
The baby is healthy.
The house is stable."
Father nodded.
Father:
"So what's the issue?"
Grandma cleared her throat dramatically.
Grandma:
"The issue…
is that we should LEAVE."
Everyone blinked.
Maya:
"Leave where?"
Grandma raised a proud finger.
Grandma:
"To OUR house."
Cousin (gasping):
"You want to leave Mochi and Laddu here ALONE?!"
Grandma nodded calmly.
Grandma:
"Yes.
They are not children anymore."
Mama raised her hand.
Mama:
"They need space to… figure things out."
Grandpa sipped tea.
Grandpa:
"Too many eyes ruin confessions."
Father shrugged.
Father:
"…She's not wrong."
Candy jumped like she won the lottery.
Candy:
"We LEAVE big sister and big brother ALONE?! YAY!!"
Mochi nearly choked.
Mochi:
"WAIT— WHAT?!"
Laddu froze mid-baby-burp.
Laddu:
"…Alone?"
Grandma clapped triumphantly.
Grandma:
"Pack your things.
We leave tonight."
The house exploded into chaos.
Except Mochi and Laddu.
They looked at each other.
Silence.
Heat.
Awkwardness. 🔥
And something new… quietly beginning.
TWO DAYS LATER — THE RETURN 🚗🏠
The front door opened.
Father stepped in first.
Mama followed with bags.
Maya carried candy wrappers instead of luggage.
Candy dragged her backpack like a dying snail. 🐌
Father:
"Finally home."
Mama:
"I hope the house survived."
Maya:
"I bet Mochi cooked Laddu alive."
Candy:
"No, big sister too soft."
They stepped into the living room—
And froze.
THE SCENE THEY NEVER EXPECTED 💥💗
On the sofa—
Mochi was watching TV calmly.
And on her lap…
Laddu.
Asleep. 😴
Head resting comfortably.
Arms wrapped around her waist.
Breathing peacefully like a cat after lunch. 🐈
Exactly like before the breakup.
Like nothing had ever gone wrong.
Like the world healed itself quietly.
Mochi's hand rested on his hair, gently brushing it without thought.
She didn't even notice the family.
Candy gasped.
Candy:
"Big sister and big brother… SAME AS BEFORE!!"
Maya's jaw dropped.
Maya:
"They fixed everything WITHOUT drama?!
Without fire?!
Without police?!"
Father whispered:
Father:
"Are we dreaming?"
Bob (standing near Jin):
"I thought this was impossible."
Mama stepped closer.
Then she noticed something else—
The ring on Mochi's finger 💍
The necklace on her neck
The matching ring on Laddu's hand
Mama smiled widely.
Mama:
"…They put the rings back on."
Maya:
"OH MY GOD THEY DID!!"
Candy ran in circles.
Candy:
"They married again!!"
Father:
"They're not married—"
Candy:
"Emotionally married!!"
Mama folded her arms proudly.
Mama:
"My daughter tamed him."
Laddu shifted in sleep, tightening his arms around Mochi's waist.
Mochi looked down at him with a soft smile.
Mama (whispering to Father):
"Look at him.
Completely domesticated."
Father nodded.
Father:
"Very obedient husband."
Maya smirked.
Maya:
"No more ignoring Mochi."
Candy:
"Big brother is Mochi's pillow now!"
Mochi finally noticed everyone and blushed slightly.
But Laddu didn't wake.
He snuggled deeper into her lap.
Like it was home.
Because it was. ❤️
