Chapter 109 - Chapter 109 — Letters, Lipstick, and the Lap of Judgment

Laddu sprinted down the hallway like a terrified rabbit 🐇💨

Feet slipping.

Heart screaming.

Life flashing before his eyes.

Behind him—

Mochi chased like a lioness who had tasted blood 🐆🔥

Furniture trembled.

Curtains suffered.

The house knew what was coming.

Finally—

Mochi cornered him near the living room sofa.

She was panting.

Not tired.

Just angry breathing.

Mochi (dangerously calm):

"STOP. RUNNING."

Laddu froze mid-step.

Hands up.

Shoulders shaking.

Laddu (trembling):

"O-okay… okay…"

"Don't kill me… please…"

Mochi grabbed his collar and dragged him to the center of the room like evidence 🧷

Mochi:

"You flushed twenty-two letters."

"Fine."

She leaned closer.

Eyes sharp.

Mochi:

"Then tell me."

"WHAT."

"WAS WRITTEN."

"IN THEM."

Laddu blinked rapidly.

Laddu:

"Written?"

"In what?"

"I don't understand English suddenly."

Mochi's eyebrow twitched.

Mochi:

"LADDU—"

Laddu raised both hands like surrendering to police 🚨

Laddu:

"No letters exist!"

"The toilet ate them!"

"They're in heaven now!"

Maya leaned toward Mother.

Maya:

"He thinks flushing equals safety."

Mother nodded.

Mother:

"Poor child."

"He forgot Candy exists."

Right on cue—

Candy skipped in happily, holding a fresh packet of letters, tied with a sparkly ribbon 🎀

Candy (innocent smile):

"Mochi Didi!"

"Look what Laddu had under the bed!"

Laddu's soul left his body permanently 👻

Laddu:

"CANDY NOOOOO—"

Candy proudly dropped the bundle into Mochi's hands.

Candy:

"These didn't get flushed!"

Maya collapsed laughing.

Cousin clapped like she was watching stand-up comedy 🎭

Mother covered her mouth, failing not to laugh.

Mochi stared at the letters.

Slowly.

Calm.

Terrifying.

Mochi:

"…These are the ones you RECEIVED?"

Laddu backed into the wall.

Laddu:

"Mochi… baby… oxygen provider… please—"

Too late.

Letter 1 — The Mommy Incident 💀

Mochi opened the first letter.

Her eyes widened.

Then narrowed.

Mochi (reading aloud):

"'Come to mommy tonight.'"

The room exploded.

Maya:

"OH MY GOD."

Cousin:

"MOMMY?!"

Candy:

"She's not his mommy!"

Mother:

"Laddu."

"Explain yourself before God intervenes."

Laddu sweated like someone turned on a waterfall.

Laddu (panicking):

"That one was weird!"

"She called everyone mommy!"

"Even dogs!"

Mochi didn't respond.

She opened the next one.

Letter 2 — Sexy Tiger 🐯

Mochi (reading):

"'Hello sexy tiger.'"

Silence.

Then—

Maya:

"I AM CRYING."

Cousin:

"Tiger WHERE?"

Candy:

"He doesn't roar!"

Mother shook her head.

Mother:

"He looks more like confused goat."

Laddu:

"WHY GOAT?!"

Ignored.

Letter 3 — The Lips Incident 💋

Mochi (reading):

"'I miss your lips.'"

GASP.

Maya:

"He's never kissed anyone— HOW are they missing his lips?!"

Cousin:

"Collective hallucination!"

Mother:

"He better not have."

Laddu waved his arms like a drowning man.

Laddu:

"I DID NOT KISS ANYONE!"

"MY LIPS ARE PURE LIKE TAP WATER!"

Mochi turned slowly.

Mochi:

"You think I'm stupid?"

Laddu:

"No— you're dangerously smart…"

Letter 4 — Dreams Without Permission 🌙

Mochi (reading):

"'I dream about you every night.'"

She looked up.

Mochi:

"Every night?"

Laddu:

"THEY DREAMED WITHOUT MY CONSENT!"

Cousin cried laughing.

Maya rolled on the carpet.

Candy cheered.

Mother sighed happily.

Mother:

"My son-in-law's past is premium entertainment."

Mochi closed the packet.

Took one step forward.

Laddu took one step back.

Mochi:

"Laddu."

"We're not done."

Laddu (whispering):

"I should have gone to the Himalayas…"

The Lap of Judgment 🪑🔥

Chaos resumed.

Running.

Screaming.

Curtains abused.

After ten minutes—

Laddu slipped on a sock 🧦

Fell forward—

Straight into Mochi's arms like a defeated potato 🥔

Mochi:

"Sit."

Laddu:

"Mochi—"

Mochi:

"Sit."

"On."

"My."

"Lap."

The room gasped.

Maya:

"This is interrogation chair."

Cousin:

"Boss level unlocked."

Candy:

"Mochi Didi is CEO!"

Mother nodded approvingly.

Mochi pulled Laddu onto her lap firmly.

One arm locked around him.

Escape impossible.

Laddu:

"This is humiliating—"

Ignored.

Letter 12 — Perfume Apocalypse 🌸💄

Mochi pulled out letter twelve.

The smell alone committed crimes.

Perfume.

Lipstick.

Glitter.

Mochi (monotone):

"'The way you talk to me… you stole my soul.'"

Silence.

Maya:

"WHAT LINES IS HE USING?!"

Candy:

"Why smell like aunty deodorant?"

Mother:

"How many women did you confuse, boy?"

Laddu:

"I SAID 'HI'!"

"THAT'S IT!"

Mochi:

"Why lipstick?"

Laddu:

"NOT MY COLOR!"

Letter 13 — Sugar Mommy Application 🍭

Hot pink paper.

Heart stickers.

Five lipstick marks.

Mochi (reading slowly):

"'Laddu baby… I want to be your sugar mommy.'"

The house exploded.

Maya:

"NO WAY—"

Cousin:

"I'M DYING."

Candy:

"What sugar mommy?"

Mother:

"I cannot breathe."

Mochi (reading):

"'Let me spoil you.'"

"'Feed you grapes.'"

"'You rest on my lap.'"

Everyone stared.

Laddu.

Sitting.

On Mochi's lap.

Maya:

"She predicted the future."

Cousin:

"Prophet."

Mochi:

"'Just smile for me.'"

She stared at him.

Mochi:

"Smile for WHO?"

Laddu:

"I DIDN'T SMILE!"

"SHE SAW ME AT A BUS STOP FOR THREE SECONDS!"

Maya:

"That's enough for trauma."

The Verdict ⚖️

Mochi read more.

Each worse than the last.

• "You are my destiny."

• "Let's run away to mountains."

• "Call me baby or I cry."

• "I choose honeymoon."

She closed the packet.

Leaned close to his ear.

Mochi (dangerously soft):

"Laddu."

Laddu:

"Yes… tall flower…?"

Mochi:

"You are in…"

"SO."

"MUCH."

"TROUBLE."

Laddu whimpered.

Mother (proud):

"She truly loves him."

Maya:

"She'll kill him gently."

Cousin:

"Romantic."

Candy hugged Mochi.

Candy:

"Don't kill him. I like him."

Laddu:

"PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CHILD."

The chaos wasn't over.

Not even close.

Mochi flipped through more letters 📜📜📜

One after another.

Faster.

Sharper.

Her glare upgraded with every page 😐 → 😠 → 😤 → ☠️

Mochi (reading):

"'I hope you liked the gift I sent.' 🎁"

"'Use this whenever you miss me.' 💕"

"'I bought something special just for you.' ✨"

"'Did the package reach you, cutie?' 😘"

She closed the final letter.

Slowly.

Very slowly.

Like a judge lowering the gavel ⚖️

Laddu swallowed.

Hard. 😰

Mochi leaned her chin on his shoulder, voice dangerously calm 😇🔪

Mochi:

"Gift." 🎁

"Gift." 🎁

"Gift." 🎁

"Gift." 🎁

She tapped his forehead lightly 👆

Mochi:

"Laddu…"

"Except me…"

"You said you never gave any girl a gift."

Laddu nodded so fast his neck almost snapped 🫨

Laddu:

"YES! Correct! Absolutely correct!"

"I never gave anyone a single thing!"

"Zero! Negative! 🚫"

"I gifted YOU more than all fifty-one combined!" 🫶🔥

Maya smirked 😏

Maya:

"But Mochi didn't ask what you gave girls."

"She asked what YOU received."

💥💥💥

The room went silent.

Even the air stopped breathing 😶‍🌫️

Mochi's eyes sharpened like a knife that pays rent 🔪💳

Mochi:

"Exactly."

"Where are the gifts you received, Laddu?"

Laddu froze.

Full Windows shutdown 🖥️💀

Laddu:

"…I… I have to go."

"I have a meeting."

"With… um…"

"PM Modi." 🇮🇳

Maya SCREAMED laughing 🤣

Cousin collapsed again 💀

Candy clapped like it was a festival 🎉

Candy:

"He knows Modi?!" 😲

Mother stared at him like a disappointed CEO 👩‍💼

Mother:

"Boy."

"Say something believable."

Mochi leaned closer.

Closer.

Too close. 😈

Mochi:

"Laddu."

"Where."

"Are."

"The."

"Gifts."

Laddu's soul folded like cheap paper 📄💔

Laddu (tiny voice):

"…Okay."

"…They're… in your house."

BLINK.

BLINK. 👁️👁️

Mother:

"…In this house?"

Maya dropped the popcorn 🍿⬇️

Cousin:

"IN HER HOUSE?!"

Candy:

"Hidden treasure in our house?!" 🏴‍☠️

Mochi leaned forward slowly 🐍

Mochi:

"My house."

"Storage room?"

Laddu nodded.

Zero dignity left 🫠

Laddu:

"Yes…"

Mother folded her arms 👀

Mother:

"What exactly did you hide there, boy?"

Laddu stared at the floor like it betrayed him 😔

Laddu (whisper):

"…Twenty-three toys."

⚡⚡⚡

EVERYONE:

"WHAT?!"

Maya nearly fainted 😵

Cousin screamed into a cushion 🛋️

Candy jumped like fireworks 🎆

Candy:

"TOYS?! Like MY toys?!" 🧸🚗

Mother looked personally offended 😐

Mother:

"Why would grown women send you toys?"

Laddu threw his hands up dramatically 🙌

Laddu:

"THEY ASKED WHAT I LIKE!"

"I PANICKED!"

"I SAID TOYS!" 😭

Maya died laughing 🤣

Cousin wheezed on the floor 😭

Candy hugged Laddu proudly 🫂

Candy:

"He baby!" 👶

Mother pinched the bridge of her nose 🤦‍♀️

Mother:

"So let me understand."

"You received twenty-three toys…"

"From adult women…"

"Because you like toys."

Laddu nodded with full confidence 🧠❌

Laddu:

"Yes!"

"Remote cars 🚗"

"Buses 🚌"

"Mini trucks 🚛"

"A supercar model 🏎️"

"Two boats 🚤"

"A flying drone 🚁—"

Mochi's eyebrow went VOLCANIC 🌋

Mochi:

"You hid…"

"TWENTY-THREE TOYS…"

"In MY storage room?"

Laddu raised one finger weakly ☝️

Laddu:

"Technically twenty-four."

"One fell behind your painting."

💀💀💀

Maya pointed at him dramatically 👉

Maya:

"He's a menace."

Cousin:

"Kindergarten playboy."

Mother:

"Child brain."

"Adult flirting skills."

"Very dangerous mix."

Candy:

"Can we play with them?!" 🥹

Mochi didn't blink.

Didn't smile.

Didn't breathe. 😶

She just held Laddu tighter on her lap 🪑🔥

Mochi (deadly soft):

"Laddu…"

"Why did you never give anything to them…"

"But accepted toys FROM them?"

Laddu gulped 😰

Laddu:

"Because toys don't count as romantic!"

"Toys are… universal happiness!" 🌈

Mochi leaned closer, eyes burning with jealous fire 🔥👀

Mochi:

"And YOU were universally happy…"

"With OTHER women's toys?"

Laddu SCREAMED 😱

Laddu:

"NOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!"

"I COLLECT THEM!"

"I LIKE MACHINES!"

"MOCHI PLEASE DON'T KILL ME—"

"I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED MY BREAKFAST!" 🍳💀

Mochi's grip tightened.

Mochi:

"You're going to show me."

"EVERY."

"SINGLE."

"TOY."

"Right."

"Now."

Laddu whispered desperately to Maya 😭

Laddu:

"Call ambulance."

Maya:

"No."

"Suffer."

Cousin:

"I'm bringing popcorn." 🍿

Candy:

"I want the drone!" 🚁

Mother smiled warmly 💕

Mother:

"This is love."

"Chaotic love."

"But love."
