Laddu suddenly lay down on the floor, flat on his stomach, arms folded under his head like this was the most normal decision ever 😌🛏️
Mochi blinked.
"…What are you doing?" 🤨
He turned his head slightly, serious eyes on her.
"…Are you really my wife?" 👀💍
Before Mochi's brain could catch up, Candy jumped in instantly ⚡
"He wants you to walk on his back." 😏
Mochi froze.
"…Why?" 😳
Candy shrugged with authority.
"Indian love this thing." 🇮🇳✔️
Maya burst out laughing 🤣
"WHY IS THAT TRUE."
Father looked away 🙈
"I refuse to comment."
Mother sighed 😮💨
"This house needs supervision."
Laddu added calmly, like stating a fact,
"If Candy was the same age as you, I'd choose her." 😐
Candy threw both hands in the air 🎉
"YAY!"
Mochi's face turned red instantly 🔥
Not embarrassed.
Jealous.
"…Excuse me?" 😠
Cousin shook his head.
"This conversation is illegal in at least five ways." 🚨
Maya laughed harder 😂
"She's jealous."
Mochi crossed her arms, cheeks burning.
"I am not." 😤
Candy leaned toward Laddu.
"See? It works." 😎
Laddu stayed on the floor, relaxed.
"…So," he said,
"are you walking or not?" 👣
Candy didn't wait.
She stepped straight onto Laddu's back like she owned the place 👑
Laddu flinched.
"…Right there."
"Yeah. That spot." 😌
He let out dramatic sounds.
"Ahhh—haa—yeah—" 🎭
The house exploded 💥
Maya screamed 😱
"WHY DOES THIS LOOK WRONG."
Father stood up instantly 🚶♂️
"I AM GOING BLIND."
Mother rubbed her forehead 🤦♀️
"This is not massage."
Cousin covered his face.
"I refuse to process this." 🫠
Candy marched proudly.
"Doctor Candy." 🩺
Mochi stared.
Her face turned red.
Then redder 🔥🔥
"…Get down," she muttered.
Candy grinned and stepped once more.
Laddu sighed in relief.
"Perfect." 😌
Mochi snapped.
"THAT'S ENOUGH." 😡
Candy jumped off laughing 😂
Laddu rolled onto his side, relaxed.
"…See. Very effective."
Mochi hesitated.
Then stepped onto his back herself 👣
Careful.
Controlled.
Laddu exhaled.
"…Good."
"That's the spot." 😌
Mochi froze.
"…This spot?" 😳
"Yes," he said seriously.
"That one."
Then he added, very unhelpfully, with playful groans,
"Ahh… haa… yeah…" 😵💫
The house lost its mind 🤯
Maya screamed.
"STOP MAKING SOUNDS."
Father turned his chair to the wall 🪑
"I AM FACING THE WALL."
Mother covered her ears 🙉
"This is not a message."
Cousin shut his eyes.
"I resign from this family." 📄
Mochi's face went fully red 🔥
"DON'T TALK," she hissed, pressing harder.
"Ouch—okay, okay," Laddu laughed.
"Too much love." 😂
He stretched and smiled.
"That's better."
"My back is fine."
"Your legs have magic." ✨
Mochi blinked.
"…Okay."
Suddenly Laddu raised one hand ✋
Mochi looked.
"…What?"
He took a deep breath.
"Candy," he said,
"give her hand to me." 🤝
Candy guided Mochi's hand into his.
Laddu pulled.
Nothing happened.
Mochi didn't move an inch.
"…What are you doing?" she asked.
Laddu let go, deeply disappointed.
"…I failed." 😞
Then he turned and walked out.
Door closed 🚪
Silence.
Mochi stared.
"…What happened?"
Candy sighed like a commentator 🎙️
"He wanted to pull you into his arms."
"Romance moment."
"But he missed."
Everyone turned to Candy.
"…How do you know?" 😐
Candy shrugged.
"Laddu taught me." 😎
Mochi sat slowly, hand still warm.
"…Oh." 💔
Maya softened.
"He didn't leave because of you."
Cousin nodded.
"He hates missing timing."
Mother said gently.
"He tried."
Candy added seriously.
"When real life doesn't match, he gets embarrassed."
Mochi whispered.
"…Am I too strong?" 🫣
Mother shook her head.
"No."
Maya smiled.
"Very clumsy effort."
Mochi's sadness softened 🌙
Candy suddenly said,
"She just has to say—
'You are the best husband.'" 💡
Silence.
Then laughter 🤣
Father nodded.
"Painfully true."
Laddu walked back in with ice cream 🍨
"What's up, family?"
Mochi gathered courage, cheeks warm.
"…Next time, I'll let you pull." 💗
The room froze 🧊
Laddu blinked.
"From two week I know you don't have enough brain cells to understand emotional state."
Dead silence ☠️
Mochi stood up slowly.
"…Please repeat that." 😈
Chaos erupted.
Maya shouted.
"ABORT."
Father sighed.
"This is unsafe."
Candy clapped.
"Fight or kiss?"
Laddu reached for Mochi's shoulder—
Missed.
She was too tall.
He adjusted smoothly and rested his hand there anyway.
Mochi paused.
Then started walking 🚶♀️
Laddu matched her pace instantly.
They walked out together 🚪
Inside, the family exploded.
"Conflict resolution: walking together," Cousin said.
Outside, quiet street 🌃
Mochi's hand rested on Laddu's shoulder.
"I know we're not married," Laddu said softly.
Mochi stopped.
"…Then why stay?"
He replied calmly.
"My Nokia phone has only important numbers." 📱
"And your name is saved as My Love." ❤️
Her anger melted instantly.
He stepped closer.
"I can't," he said gently.
"You're not my wife."
"…You can," Mochi whispered.
They stood close.
Choosing.
"…Do you love me?" Laddu asked.
"Yes," Mochi said.
"I do." 💞
He smiled and whistled softly 🎶
Slid his hand to her waist.
"…What are you doing?" she asked.
"Your shoulders are too high," he replied calmly.
"…You don't like it?"
"No," she said, cheeks warm 😊
They kept walking 🚶♂️🚶♀️
