Two hours later ⏰
Mochi walked in 🚶♀️✨
"Hey," she said calmly 😌
"You two. Stop playing." ✋🎮
⏸️
The screen paused.
Laddu and Candy turned together 👀👀
Mochi crossed her arms 😤
"Candy. Laddu. Eat." 🍛
Laddu frowned dramatically 😞
"After Vani arrived, you never look at me."
"You never smile at me." 💔
Candy nodded like a lawyer 👩⚖️
"Same. You even shouted at me."
Mochi blinked 😐
"Oh… actually—"
Father cut in calmly 🧓
"They're emotionally blackmailing you." 🧠⚠️
Mochi protested 🙅♀️
"No, they're not."
Laddu clasped his hands 🙏
"If you love me, please let me play." 🎮💖
Candy joined instantly 🙏
"Please."
⏸️
Silence.
Mochi stared at their identical faces 😑😑
"…Okay," she said finally 😮💨
And walked toward the dining table 🍽️
🎮💥
Behind her, the game resumed instantly.
"YESSS!"
"SHOT!"
"HEADSHOT!"
Maya burst out laughing 😂
"She fell for it."
Cousin nodded 😌
"Perfect execution."
Mochi stopped mid-step 🚨
Realization hit 💡
"…Wait."
Too late.
She turned around slowly 😐
Too calm.
She walked back 🚶♀️
Raised her fist ✊
THUNK. THUNK. 💥💥
One on Laddu's head 🤕
One on Candy's 🤕
Exactly like Shinchan's mother 👩👦🔥
"Ow!"
"HEY!"
🎮 Controllers dropped 🎮
💥 CHAOS 💥
Maya screamed laughing 🤣
"CLASSIC MOVE!"
Cousin nodded in approval 😌
"Discipline executed."
Father coughed to hide his smile 😏
"Necessary force."
Mother didn't even look up 😐
"Eat first. Trauma later."
Laddu rubbed his head, offended 😠
"You hit me."
Candy copied him 😤
"She hit me too."
Mochi crossed her arms 😤
"Dinner. NOW."
They stood up instantly 🧍♂️🧍♀️
No rebellion.
No negotiation.
Laughter filled the house 😂
Laddu muttered while chewing 🍚
"…I forgot she can do that."
Order restored ✅
"Ouch," Laddu whispered 🤕
"Giraffe hit hard."
Candy nodded seriously 🧐
"Very hard."
Mochi looked up 👀
"Eat. Or I'll hit you again."
⚡ Instant obedience ⚡
Food vanished at record speed 🍽️💨
Maya pointed, laughing 😂
"Fear works."
Cousin nodded 📊
"Consistent enforcement."
Father smiled 😌
"Peace restored."
Mother ate calmly ☕
"Good."
Laddu whispered to Candy 🤫
"…Worth it."
Candy whispered back 😏
"Totally."
Mochi heard that 👂
They ate faster 🫣
Candy suddenly looked up mid-bite 🤔
"How old is Vani?"
"One year," Laddu replied calmly 👨👧
Candy nodded 🧠
"Oggy is two months."
Her eyes lit up ✨
"Let's marry Oggy and Vani when they grow up."
⏸️
Silence.
Laddu didn't even look up 😐
"They choose. Not we."
Maya burst out laughing 🤣
"Consent lesson at dinner!"
Cousin smiled 😊
"Good principle."
Father nodded approvingly 👍
"Correct."
Mother sighed 😌
"Finish your food."
Candy pouted 😒
"…Fine."
Vani babbled 👶💬
Oggy kicked his feet 🦶
The house laughed again 😂
🔔 Doorbell rang
Two men carried in a new sofa 🛋️
Placed beside the old one
Mother blinked 😳
"Who ordered this?"
Laddu raised his hand proudly ✋
"I did. So Vani won't fall."
No arguments.
🔔 Another bell
A parcel 📦
Laddu jumped up 😄
"Finally!"
Inside: silver anklets ✨
The room softened 🤍
Laddu gently slipped one onto Vani's tiny leg 👶
Then one onto Oggy's 🐣
Candy squealed 😆
"Matching gear!"
Laddu grabbed Candy's ankle dramatically 😈
"Bonus child."
"HEY!" 😂
Then he placed the last anklet into Mochi's hand 🤲
"For you."
⏸️
Maya gasped 😲
"Oh."
Cousin smiled 😊
"Symbolic."
Father nodded 👍
"Good."
Mother watched, satisfied 😌
Mochi's smile came slow… real 💖
Mochi bent down and slipped the anklets on ✨
Laddu scoffed 😤
"I was about to do that, but you hit me."
Mochi didn't look up 😐
"Put them properly,"
"or I'll give away the toy you hid in the storeroom." 😈
Laddu froze 🧊
"…How do you know?"
Before she answered—
He dropped to one knee 🎭
Grabbed her leg
"HEY—" 😳
As her shoe came off 👟
The anklet slipped—
Clink. 🔔
Dead silence.
Candy leaned in 👃
"…It smells."
💥💥💥
Maya SCREAMED laughing 🤣
"I'M DONE."
Cousin turned away 😭
"Too much information."
Father rubbed his temple 😩
"This house has no shame."
Mother closed her eyes 😮💨
"…Wear socks next time."
Mochi went RED 🔥
She smacked Laddu's shoulder 💢
"OUT."
Laddu retreated 🙌
"Okay okay!"
Mochi paused 😐
Smelled her leg 👃
Once.
Twice.
"…It doesn't smell."
⏸️
Then EXPLOSION 😂😂😂
Maya pointed 👉
"PRANK!"
Cousin nodded 😌
"Executed by idiots."
Candy giggled 😆
"It was Laddu."
Laddu raised a finger ☝️
"Team effort."
Mochi stepped forward 😠
Laddu and Candy HID behind Mother 🫣
"She is the real boss," Laddu whispered 😰
"You're the mini boss," Candy added 😵
Mochi's eye twitched 👁️⚡
"LADDU."
He stepped out fast 😅
Carefully fixed the anklets
No jokes
No rushing
When done, he stepped back 🤍
Mochi looked down
Silver shining ✨
Her anger melted 😊
Maya sighed happily 😍
"Aww."
Father smiled 😌
"Well done."
Mother nodded 👍
"Now behave."
Candy clapped 👏
"Boss happy."
Mochi smiled at Laddu
"…Idiot."
Laddu grinned 😁
"But your idiot."
🔔 Anklets chimed softly
The house laughed again 😂
Dinner ended 🍽️
Plates empty
Noise warm
Maya asked casually 😏
"So… where will Vani sleep?"
"With me," Mochi said instantly 👩👧
"On the bed," Laddu replied 🛏️
"Me and Vani."
"No," Mochi said flatly ❌
"Okay," Laddu nodded 😌
"We three sleep on the sofa."
Cousin blinked 😳
"So you want to sleep with Mochi?"
"Yes," Laddu said honestly 😇
"I used to sleep in her lap."
💥 SILENCE 💥
Mochi turned RED 🔥
"We can sleep on the bed. My room."
Laddu blinked 😳
"Wow. Slow down."
💥 LAUGHTER 💥
Mother raised her hand ✋
"Enough."
"Vani with Mochi.
Laddu on sofa."
"No debate."
"Yes boss," Laddu saluted 😁
Night passed 🌙
Morning came ☀️
Candy rushed to school 🏃♀️
Others left for work
Mother fed Vani 👶
Laddu watched quietly ☕
"Ma… can I?" he asked softly
She handed Vani to him 🤲
He fed her slowly 🤍
After a while, he smiled 😊
"Ma… after Mochi and I marry—
will you live with us?"
Mother didn't hesitate 😌
"Sure."
They walked outside together 🚶♂️🚶♀️
