I got caught with weed by my parents (it was an imported maal) I planned on selling and making some money out of it but ended up this way
Okay, before anyone judges me — yes, I know I messed up.
A few weeks ago, I somehow got my hands on some imported maal. Not the shady local “bhaiya wrapped it in newspaper” kind. This stuff came vacuum sealed, smelled expensive, looked expensive, and honestly had more packaging than my Amazon orders.
Now, I’m broke. Like checking bank balance before ordering momos broke.
So my genius business brain kicks in:
“Why not sell a little and make some easy money?”
Fast forward to the day everything went downhill.
I had hidden it inside an old shoe box in my cupboard because apparently I have the criminal IQ of a cartoon villain.
That afternoon, I came home and noticed something terrifying.
My room was… clean.
Like too clean.
My mom had done that cleaning — the one where Indian moms suddenly become CID officers and inspect places you forgot even existed.
Cupboard folded.
Bed arranged.
Random missing socks suddenly reunited.
And then I saw it.
The shoebox.
Out.
In the open.
On my bed.
Closed.
But somehow looking at me like:
“Bro… we’re cooked.”
At this point my heartbeat became Dolby surround sound.
I slowly walk to the living room.
Mom is silent.
Dad is watching TV.
But not really watching TV.
You know that dangerous parent silence? The one where they’re acting normal, which somehow feels more threatening?
Mom casually asks:
“Beta… anything you want to tell us?”
Immediately I start overthinking.
Did they find it?
Are they testing me?
Should I lie?
Should I confess?
Should I fake a fever and disappear?
Before I can answer, Dad says, without even looking at me:
“Imported hai?”
My soul left my body.
I froze.
Because there are many things you expect your Indian father to say.
But that?
Not on the bingo card.
Then he slowly reaches behind the sofa…
…and pulls out the packet.
But here’s where things got weird.
Because sitting next to him on the table was something that absolutely should NOT have been there.
Something that made this situation 100x worse.
And the moment I saw it, I knew I was completely finished.
