Disha couldn't speak, as she was in a romantic zone because of her Euphoria Diamond. She nodded her head slightly.

"All night, I want to cuddle and sleep with you on our bed. All morning, I want to see your radiant, glowing face snuggling into my chest. I want to nuzzle your neck with my face when you are in bed. I desperately wanted to do this right now. Shall I?" Manik elaborated on his desire, waiting for her approval.

Disha nodded in response, giving him permission with shyness on her face.

"Oh!" Disha mumbled when he nuzzled her neck with his nose.

Disha has never experienced it in her life. Manik was flattered to see Disha's neck area. Disha couldn't control her emotions. Her calves felt too weak to stand. Her lower body was shivering because of him.

"Manik!" Disha murmured as Manik pressed his lips on her neck.

Manik twirled her again and came back to the starting position. The music had stopped playing as the song was complete.

"Manik, we need to stop dancing as the song stopped. We can't dance without music." Disha was gazing at the collar of his shirt as she felt too shy to look into his eyes and speak.

"Yes, Indeed. But I am dancing to the beat of your heart." Manik uttered, staring at her blushed face.

"Could you hear my heartbeat?" Disha questioned naively.

"You bet! Whenever we shared a proximity, I could hear your heartbeat." Manik denoted possessively, clutching her waist.

"So, are we dancing to the beat of my heart?" Disha asked, encircling her arms around his neck.

"Yes, the best beat music I have ever heard," Manik said, moving gently from left to right.

Manik couldn't stop adoring her. His hand was already on her waist. Slowly, he leaned, placing her forehead against his.

"There is just one minute left for your birthday to end. Make a wish! I will pray for it." Disha pronounced as Manik closed his eyes.

I want Disha in my personal and professional life. I want her by my side. I don't know what bond we are sharing, but I need her in my life forever.

Her glittering eyes were the first thing he witnessed when he opened his eyes. Her pinkish lips were more attractive than her eyes.

Manik reached near her lips with his lips. She was shivering at that moment. He halted for a second, asking for her permission. She closed her eyes, submitting herself to him. Manik was satisfied by her decision with his half-closed eyes.

Manik pecked her upper lips, creating an inferno sensation inside her body. He decided to close his eyes and get involved with her.

But suddenly, his phone's ringtone distracted both of them. Disha detached herself as he searched his phone in his pocket to halt the ringtone.

Disha couldn't handle the embarrassment. She sat on a nearby sofa. Disha glimpsed at him, who was busy talking with Krish. She touched her lips.

Did my husband kiss my lips?

No, sweetheart. He pecked your lips.

Mastermind, I liked it. I like the feeling he created inside my heart.

What about the rules you and he created?

Her heart refused to answer questions from her brain. Disha rubbed her forehead with her index and middle fingers together. Manik sat beside her, opening his bag. Disha understood that Krish had placed a gift inside Manik's office bag to surprise Manik.

Manik was busy unwrapping it. Disha yawned, closing her eyes as sleep drifted her to another world. Manik realized Disha's head was on his shoulder. Her snoring sound made him gaze at her.

I am always ready to be a pillow for my angel!

Manik gently picked her up in his arms. He placed her on his bed. He changed his birthday dress into a night dress, deciding to sleep with his angel.

The next day, when Disha woke up, she saw him peacefully cuddling her. His hands were possessively clutching her bare waist. A grin appeared on her lips to see him in a sleepy state.

Disha could never stop staring at him. She placed her ear near his chest. Disha found tranquility when her ear heard his heartbeating sound. She imagined that his heart only beat for her.

His alarm made him wake up reluctantly. Disha smiled when he snorted, swiping the alarm on the phone with his index finger at the nightstand. His eyes didn't even open. Manik did everything with his eyelids shut.

Again, his hand landed on Disha's waist, creating a tingling sensation in her body.

"Good morning, Euphoria Diamond!" Disha whispered as Manik pulled her so close.

"Get up! You need to hit the gym." Disha said, lying on his chest.

Manik grunted, but his morning turned splendid when he witnessed her with a broad smile.

"No, I wanted to sleep five minutes more cuddling you," Manik uttered as Disha giggled.

"I had my best birthday celebration with you. Krish was jealous when I was praising your birthday celebration surprise." Manik said it with a charming smile.

"What was your favorite moment?" Disha enquired.

"My dad told me that he loves me. He gave me my childhood photo. That was one of my favorite moments. It will always be close to my heart. Thank you!" Manik pronounced with a satisfactory smile at the end.

"Manik, I agreed to cuddle you and sleep. But in return, I wanted to..." Disha halted as air blocked her throat in embarrassment.

"Feel free to express. I won't think anything bad." Manik mumbled.

"I wanted to hug you from behind on the bike while we were traveling to and returning from the office. If you are comfortable, we will do it. Otherwise,..." Disha paused as Manik placed his index finger above her mouth.

"I was waiting for this day. I am always comfortable with you. Remember that always. I agree." Manik expressed this as Disha replied with an endearing smile.

"Fine, it is time for you to go to the gym. I also need to do the workout. Get up!" Disha got up from the bed, tugging him also from the bed.

Manik went to the gym while she went to Mahima's house to do a workout session. Disha expressed her every feeling for Manik, and Mahima teased her. But, as usual, Disha tackled it brilliantly.

Disha came back to the house. She tried to remove the LED decorative string fairy rice light for birthday decoration, which had a warm golden light color.

Disha turned off the light. She gathered every LED light Safely, removing it from the living area. She twirled everything together.

But at the door exit point, she couldn't remove the string at the door calling bell hook. She had dreaded that a calling bell might fall upon her. She decided to ask for help from Manik once he returned from the gym.

Making the string golden light in a circle shape, she placed it above the door in the calling bell hook. She turned on the LED decorative light as it spread some happiness and joy in her life.

Disha rushed to the bathroom as it was getting late for the office. After a shower, she came outside the bathroom, caressing the towel in her wet hair.

Disha wears a crepe-printed white collar neck with a full-length, multi-colored butterfly design gown. She sprayed jasmine perfume on her wrist and neck area.

Suddenly, she heard a screaming sound from Manik in the living area. Taking a long step, she reached the hall from her room. The screaming sound appalled her at that moment. Disha burst into laughter while viewing Manik's state.

"What have you done to me?" Manik voiced out as he wrapped in a string of serial lights.

When Manik came inside the house, he closed the door with a bang. It resulted in a string of fairy-golden light falling on him. From top to bottom, Manik covered with LED decorative lights.

Disha halted her chuckle as she was startled to see a bright, radiant face. Even if the bright LED light surrounded him, Disha could feel the LED light vanish around him, turning dark, making Manik's face glow brighter than light.

"Disha, I know I am the most handsome man in India. You are allowed to stare at me all day if you want. Currently, we need to untangle me from these LED decorative lights. Come near me." Manik's ordering tone made her frown.

"Is the great Rajwat heir asking for help from a poor architectural designer like me? Impressive!" Disha teased, walking towards him.

"Wait a second, I didn't ask for help from you. The mistake was on your side. So I gave you a chance to rectify your mistake. Walk fast and remove these LED decorative lights from me." Manik argued like a kid with Disha.

Disha was near Manik, searching for the beginning point of the string of LED lights. She was busy scanning his legs.

Manik was completely blank after meeting with her aura and perfume. He moved a little bit closer, so that distance reduced between them. He remained silent, admiring her baffled situation.

"Manik, I couldn't find the starting point!" Disha lifted her head, receiving a mischievous smirk appear on his lips.

"The great architecture designer like you can't find a starting point! So sad!" Manik teased her, which annoyed her.

"Ok. Let's see who finds the starting point. If I find it, we will go on an ice cream date. If you find it, we will go on a coffee date. Deal?" Disha asked him.

"Deal! I will win it." Manik expressed it with a smile while She shook her head, denying that she would win.

Both were searching from top to bottom. Disha was revolving around him, but she could not find the starting point. But his facial expression turned to joy.

"I found it." Manik's eyes flickered at Disha and the floor simultaneously.

The starting point of the string in the LED light was lying on the floor. Manik tried to grab it, but he couldn't, as it was difficult for him as he was wrapped up in LED lights.

"I am the winner. You couldn't touch it." Disha beamed, trying to touch it.

Manik couldn't accept the defeat. He tried using his power and energy to grab the string. But, he fell on her. Disha turned into a statue when he was lying on her.

Manik spotted her hand gripping the string and realized they had both grasped it. Both were able to get up fast. Both noticed they had become entangled in the LED serial golden light threads.

"How could you just tangle me with you?" Disha blinked a few times.

As the endeavor got more difficult for them, Manik snorted. When they try to move apart, their proximity only grows. Their energy levels were both depleted.

"I think we should call Mahima." Manik gave an idea.

"No way! Mahima will tease us both if she sees us in this situation." Disha fevered.

Manik examined the position they shared at that time. Her palm was placed on his chest. He had encircled his arms around her waist for balance. He again heard her rapid heartbeat, speculating her breath level increase, which was driving him crazy.

"Disha! Shall we continue the dance that we halted yesterday?" Manik whispered in her ears, making her blush.

Manik came closer to peck her lips, but she had a different idea. She hid her face in his chest. As it always seemed the best safe place for her in this universe.

"You asked about my favorite moment on my birthday. I liked our dance part also." Manik mumbled, resting his chin on her head.

"Hmmm..." Disha responded, saying she couldn't forget the moment when he pecked her lips while dancing.

"Disha!" Manik murmured with a crack in his voice.

Disha lifted her head when he detached his chin from her forehead. His face had a radiant glow still after coming from the workout.

"Manik! Are you fine?" Disha panicked when he called his name with a cracking voice.

"Yeah! Disha, I feel delighted when you are near me. I like the moments we share like this. If you are uncomfortable, you can stop me." Manik expressed this as Disha's eyes became watery.

"I am comfortable with you," Disha uttered, glimpsing at his eyes.

"How do I look with these golden lights around me? Do I look more handsome?" Manik asked her.

He was sure that Disha would tease him or make fun of him. But he was stunned when a reply came from her.

"Your radiant face looks brighter than the sun. These lights are nothing in front of your glowing face. You are my eternal sunshine who gave me light when I was in my dark world." Disha expressed, staring into his eyes.

Manik was startled for a few seconds. Her praised words were making him fall for her.

"Ok, tell me, how do I look with these fairy LED golden serial lights?" Disha asked him, waiting for his response.

Manik didn't respond, as his hands were busy traveling from her waist to her neck. From the neck area, he lifted the string of LED lights from her neck to her head with difficulty.

Disha was baffled for a moment by his strange activity. But her heart was waiting for his reply. Her head area was encircled with a string of LED golden lights. Manik did that perfectly.

"A celestial angel appeared on the terrestrial surface to make the Glumness Diamond into a Euphoria Diamond!" Manik replied, leaving her bewildered.

Disha slowly understood his sentence. She blushed when Manik saw her as the celestial angel. She grinned at his words. The smile on her lips was making him mad.

Manik pressed his forehead against hers. He desired to kiss her, but he thought that it would be crossing the limits, so he decided to control his feelings as she was so close to him.

Her aura and smiling face were making him feel out of control.

"Alexa, call Mahima." Manik declared it on his smart device.

Mahima opened the door, witnessing the love birds standing cuddled each other, wrapping around the LED decorative golden light in front of the house entrance.

"Wow, a rare sight of a Gamophobia couple sharing a romantic moment. I can't believe it. Am I dreaming? Is it true?" Mahima was perplexed, glimpsing at them from top to bottom.

"Mahima! Stop teasing us! Help us!" Disha pleaded as Mahima grabbed Disha's phone on the sofa.

"Before helping you, let me take a photo of my favorite gamophobia couple together. Say cheese." Mahima announced.

Disha was blushing while Manik was enjoying the teasing section of Mahima.

"Mahima, tell me, how is this pose?" Manik asked, pressing his forehead against hers.

"Perfect!" Mahima said, clicking photos on Disha's phone.

"It is getting late for the office," Disha screamed at Mahima.

Mahima rescued them from the string of decorative LED lights. After completing their morning routine, Disha and Manik came to the parking lot in the apartment.

Manik climbed onto the bike as Disha climbed on behind him in the bike. Both wear their helmets. Disha was startled to know that he hadn't started the bike.

"Is the bike engine at fault? Why have you not started the bike?" Disha curiously asked him.

"The bike rider needs some fuel," Manik uttered, making her blank.

"What? I can't understand. Do you drink fuel? It's weird. How do you live alive by drinking fuel?" Disha fevered.

"Relax. I didn't mean it that way." Manik elaborated, but Disha assumed something.

"Is there no petrol on the bike?" Disha eagerly asked.

"No. Stop predicting wrongly. I think you will get what I meant." Manik, denoted as Disha, recalled his word.

Disha encircled her arms around his waist while sitting behind him on the bike. She could speculate that he had a charming smile on his lips.

"Did the bike rider get some fuel?" Disha inquired, resting her head on his shoulder.

"The empty fuel tank is full now." Manik placed his right hand on the left side of his chest, close to his heart.

Manik's heart was filled with joy and happiness when she hugged him from behind. He started the bike, taking his hands from his chest and placing his palm on the accelerator.

His immense joy came to an end when they reached the office gate. Both went to their respective working cabins.

Disha was in full swing for the preparation of the competition. Krish checked and worked to ensure everything was going perfectly on her projects.

In twilight time, Disha completed the presentation, documentation, and construction design work. She did deep learning for her entire project.

After returning from the office, Disha was also examining her presentation again. She wanted everything to go well. But fear was increasing every moment.

Manik's motivational words helped her a lot to focus on the work. Though she cuddled Manik while sleeping at night, she couldn't sleep as competition pressure affected her precious sleep.

She woke up at 4 a.m., slowly detaching herself from Manik, as she didn't want to disturb Manik's sleep. She started to read the presentation and view the design again in her study room.

Her eyelids shut when it was 6 a.m. When her eyelids opened, she saw Manik standing with a teacup in his hands. She examined the time in panic. It was 7 a.m. She sighed, and Manik handed over the tea in her palm.

"Is it your scrapbook? What do you have in it?" Manik witnessed a black-colored scrapbook.

"The reason for me to choose the architectural field as my profession," Disha mumbled, sipping the tea.

"Ok, Krish told me that he would come and pick you up at the competition place," Manik confessed to her, gazing at the scrapbook.

"I thought you would also accompany me." Disha worried.

"I have some work. So Krish will take care of you like your brother. All the best for the competition. There is no doubt for me as my celestial angel will win this competition by giving her best design to the world." Manik declared, giving lots of confidence to her.

Disha nodded. After an hour, Krish's car appeared before her apartment. She was astonished to see Krish and Maya inside the car.

Krish gestured for her to sit in the back seat with a genuine smile. Maya forced a smile toward her, which was fake.

Reaching the competition spot takes place at the Luxury restaurant. A dread appeared on her face when she learned that 500 people had enrolled in the competition.

When the contestants submitted their designs, the first round began. Disha handed over the pen drive to the competition's organizing committee.

Even though it began at 9 a.m., the first round ended at 1 p.m. Following lunch, the committee members chose ten people for the second round.

Disha refused to look at the list on the screen at all. Krish instilled confidence in her, prompting her to gaze at the screen. In the first five, she couldn't find her name. Finally, her name came in tenth place on the list.

The name 'Disha Rathore from Jaidev Construction' flashed on the screen. She exhaled, knowing she'd been chosen for the second round.

Krish called Radha and Manik to tell them the good news. However, Disha was not in the mood to celebrate until she had won the challenge.

Disha began outlining a preview of her presentation, which was on her phone. Krish moved away from Disha so that she wouldn't hear the talk between him and Manik.

"Mr. Adidev, Do you want to make any changes to Disha's presentation?" Krish asked him.

"No, I have viewed it completely. Disha had a unique style. We don't need to change anything. Please make sure everything goes smoothly for her." Manik contended.

"So, we have reached a new achievement in Jaidev Construction because of Disha," Krish pronounced.

"Yes, you are correct. Though we have participated in the competition for the past five years, we were not selected for the second round. As a chairman and founder, I felt delighted and spellbound to know Disha got selected." Manik announced.

"Ok, the second round is going to start. I will call you back later." Krish said she was disconnecting the call.

Krish requested Disha to relax. After settling down, the ten participants selected for the second round were asked to go to the meeting hall in the hotel.

Disha composed herself while sitting in the place that was allocated for her. She sighed when she saw Krish sitting on the spectacular side.

The committee started the competition, welcoming the judges for the second round. When the host announced the first judge's name, her entire body trembled upon hearing the name.

When the lioness of the construction industry walked onto the platform, Disha recognized her name.

Her legs shuddered as she speculated that the lady standing beautifully and sassily before the audience had caused an impending dread to emerge forever inside her heart. Her biggest admirer was standing in front of Disha, but she couldn't adore since her dread had multiplied tenfold.

The host revealed the second judge's name as he stepped onto the stage, waving his hands and marveling at the crowd like an actor or a politician. She remembered something that occurred to him a few months ago.

When she saw the man, she panicked. She was certain she would not win the competition because of the two judges in front of her.

Will Disha win the competition?

Who are the female and male people who appeared on the judging panel?
