Dharmesh and Esha were talking to each other when a man with a microphone stepped in front of everyone and began to announce, "The moment you have been waiting for has arrived. The best games of the evening are about to begin. The love couple who wins this game will receive a fantastic prize." The man said, and everyone started clapping. "Today's first game will be Paper Dance, where you will have to dance on a piece of paper with your partner. The paper will get smaller over time. The one who manages to dance until the end will win," he continued.
Then some people brought paper and placed it on the ground. After that, the man asked everyone to stand on it. Initially, the paper was quite large, allowing everyone to stand on it easily. But as time passed, the paper was going to get smaller.
Esha and Dharmesh were given a piece of paper to stand on, and as soon as the music started, everyone began to dance on the paper. Dharmesh and Esha were also dancing.
During the first song, there was quite a gap between them, but when the second song started, the paper was halved, bringing Dharmesh and Esha closer together. However, they were still able to dance.
Kiran Mehra was also dancing with her boyfriend near Dharmesh and Esha, occasionally glancing at them.
When the next song came, the paper shrank even more, forcing Dharmesh to hold Esha's waist to prevent her from falling.
At first, Dharmesh wasn't very good at these things, but since coming here, he had seen so many things that he felt he could do anything now.
"If you're not comfortable, we can stop," Dharmesh said to Esha.
"No, I want to win this," Esha replied, holding onto Dharmesh tightly. But when the next song started, the paper became even smaller, requiring Dharmesh to hold Esha even more securely while continuing to dance. However, Dharmesh was managing it. He had put the super points he earned from completing the level into his strength, making him feel even stronger.
When the game began, there were 20 people dancing, but now only four remained. The others had fallen off. Among those four were Kiran Mehra and her boyfriend, along with another couple, and Dharmesh and Esha.
Dharmesh felt very good about all this because it was the first time he was so close to a girl. He was eagerly waiting for the song to end so the paper could shrink further, allowing Esha to come even closer to him.
Then the song ended, and the paper was made even smaller. Now, only one person could stand on that paper, so Esha stood on Dharmesh's feet, and he held her tightly. There was hardly any space left between them.
But Kiran's friend couldn't hold on for long and fell down. With her fall, only three couples remained. However, one couple got distracted, causing them to fall as well. After their fall, the music stopped.
Now only two couples were left, and it would be revealed who the lucky couple was today, the man said, further reducing the size of the paper.
After the paper shrank, they were asked to stand on it again, but this time no one could stand properly. Dharmesh lifted Esha into his arms. Seeing Dharmesh do this, Kiran's boyfriend did the same and lifted Kiran. Kiran's boyfriend's watch showed a strength of 40, but Dharmesh had hidden his watch.
Then the music started, and Dharmesh began to dance slowly. He could feel Esha's breath, which made him even more anxious. He was silently thanking the creator of this game. But now Dharmesh was having trouble dancing.
Kiran's boyfriend was also struggling because Kiran was heavier than Esha, making it difficult for him to lift her. He managed to hold her for a while, but then he fell down with her. However, Dharmesh was still dancing with Esha, and then the music stopped.
The man then came and announced, "Esha and Dharmesh have won this competition!" Kiran shot an angry glance at Esha and then started smiling ominously. "Now the real game will begin," Kiran thought to herself. "Today you both have won this couples game, but before you claim your prize, you must complete one final task: you have to kiss your girlfriend. Only then will you be declared the winners," the man said, and everyone began to clap.
But upon hearing the word "kiss," Esha's eyes widened, and she looked at Dharmesh. Dharmesh was also looking at Esha. He hadn't expected anything like this.
Dharmesh pulled her aside and asked, "What is this? You said it would just be a game, so where did this kiss come from?"
"I don't know; this wasn't mentioned before," Esha replied.
"Then tell me what to do. I'm ready to do whatever you say," Dharmesh said with a slight smile on his face.
"We have to kiss because I told everyone that you are my boyfriend. If I don't kiss you, it will spread widely, and everyone will find out that this was all a show. I will be severely embarrassed, and so will my family," Esha explained.
"I should let you know that I have never kissed anyone, and I don't know how to do it," Dharmesh said with a smile.
Dharmesh was very happy yet anxious because he didn't know what he was doing or what to do next.
"Don't worry; you'll learn it. I hadn't done it before either, but you must have seen it in movies, just do it like that," Esha said, glancing at Kiran, who was standing nearby.
Dharmesh nodded in agreement and returned to where Esha was. Kiran stood to the side, smiling, as she saw everything unfolding as she had envisioned. But Kiran's happiness was short-lived. As soon as Esha and Dharmesh returned in front of everyone, Kiran was taken aback.
After stepping in front of everyone, Esha approached Dharmesh, and he moved closer to her as well. Dharmesh placed his hand on Esha's waist and pulled her close. His heart was racing; he felt like it would burst if he did anything more.
Esha felt the same way; she was also doing this for the first time. Although Esha typically wouldn't act like this, she was willing to do it with Dharmesh because she liked him.
Then their faces began to come closer. Dharmesh could feel Esha's breath, intensifying his anxiety. Everyone was watching them, and today was going to be Dharmesh's first kiss, filling him with a strange joy.
Dharmesh then gently touched Esha's lips with his own and began to kiss her. Esha had closed her eyes and was kissing him back. Everyone was watching them, smiling, but Kiran Mehra's face turned red with anger, and she stormed away because she couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Dharmesh and Esha kissed for a minute before they pulled apart. Dharmesh felt ecstatic, and Esha had a faint smile on her face, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment from the kiss.
Dharmesh realized what Esha was feeling, prompting him to decide to leave with her.
"Now that everything is done, can we leave? I have some other work," Dharmesh said to the man.
"Yes, of course! You have won this game and have become the true love couple of this party. Here is your prize," the man said, handing Dharmesh a box that contained a necklace.
Dharmesh opened the box to reveal a beautiful blue necklace inside.
"Would you like to put this necklace on your girlfriend Esha here in front of everyone so that everyone can see its beauty?" the man asked.
Dharmesh didn't say anything and took the necklace out of the box. He then approached Esha, who turned to him without saying a word, so he could put the necklace on her.
Dharmesh brushed Esha's hair aside and placed the necklace around her neck. The necklace looked even more beautiful on her. All the girls present were envious of Esha because the necklace was very precious and beautiful, now belonging to her.
Afterward, Esha and Dharmesh stayed at the party for a while before stepping outside. Once outside, Dharmesh couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
He exclaimed with joy, "I can't believe what I did today! At one time, I was so timid, and now I'm speaking freely in front of so many people. And today, I had my first kiss with the most beautiful girl here!"
Esha listened to Dharmesh, smiling. She could understand his happiness because she was just as thrilled inside; it was also her first kiss. However, she couldn't express this properly to Dharmesh.
"Are parties like this held every day?" Dharmesh asked.
"No, such parties happen only occasionally, and I rarely go to them. But I had to come here; it was a necessity. I didn't think we would win this game. I'm very happy today," Esha said, smiling at Dharmesh.
"Let's head back to military school now. It's getting late, and I don't know what will happen to me there tomorrow," Dharmesh said, starting to walk back to the military school with Esha.
Dharmesh still had a lot to learn and needed to level up. He wanted to improve his level, which had been stalled because of all these events. Dharmesh also wanted to find the professor. "After tomorrow's class, I'll go look for the professor," he thought, saying goodbye to Esha as he returned to his room.
What will happen next?
