Chapter 519 - The gunshot...

He was walkling calmly with a huge smile on his face towards a counter, which was serving live sea food. The counter was just a few meters opposite to the italian counter, with Rhehan's back towards the man. 

The chef who was currently cooking live prawns, walked upto the man and smiled. "Hello there! Interesting patterns on the face. I am liking the look!!" 

"Ahh!! Yess! I am in a party mood today. How about a grilled fish, right over there. Looks very tempting!" The man pointed towards an open griller, where several fishes were hung, getting grilled. 

"Sure!! They are one of a kind. You will love the taste. Give me five minutes, till they get grilled and I shall serve it with our best mint salad." The chef spoke ecstatically yet in a professional tone.

"Ahh!! That is perfect! Can not wait to dig in!" The man smiled at the chef, and took the corner most stool, around the U-shaped counter, from where he could see Rhehan's back very- very clearly. He was still judging if he should go for the poison trick or just aim the bullet straight from here on his head's back. 

He observed Rhehan from a far away distance, who was simply lost in his wife, Rose sitting on his right hand side. He was not even bothered to look, what was happening on his left, as he was so much into her. 

"Perfect! The protector wife, will now be the cause of death!! Haha!!" The man smirked mockingly, looking at the couple, who did not look like they had any plans, to get up from the counter anytime soon.

"Hmm! Good! Just have to wait for the right opportunity now!" The man smirked yet again.

Soon, the chef approached, placing before him the freshly roasted fish in a fish shaped platter, along with a green colored vegetable and cheese salad, in another round bowl. "Here you go! Enjoy your meal!" The chef nodded happily.

The man smiled back looking at the chef. "Just the face of it tells me, that it is amazing. Thank you!" 

Chef bowed a bit again and walked away happily, towards other people, sittimg at thr counter stools. The man with painted face, took a bite of the dish and closed his eyes savouring the taste of the juicy and fresh fish. "Ummmm!!" He took another bite and side by side, slowly took out a gun from his pocket amd placed it on his right thigh. Since it was pretty dark now, the gun was hardly visible and besides everybody was busy in themselves, to give a notice to was anybody else was upto. He casually took another bite with his one hand, while his other hand now held the gun straight, and aimed it straight towards Rhehan, sitting in front of him, across the counter. 

Meanwhile....

Another man dressed in white knee length shorts and a sky blue tee-shirt approached the party. He seemed to be in a hurry as if looking for somebody, not wanting to waste a single moment. He was wearing a cool black and white bandana on his head, making him look party ready, apt for the beautiful and wild atmosphere. He quickly walked towards the neon paint artists, who were sitting in several corners. 

"I want to cover my face, with something really cool and sassy!" The man smiled, looking at a blonde girl, holding a thin shining brush. 

"Sure! How about a dragon and a fire?" The girl smiled looking at the handsome man.

"Wow! Sounds cool. But I am in a hurry!" The man smiled.

"Two minutes, and it will be done." The girl dipped a brush in neon orange color and drew skillfully a dragon shaped figure strarting from his temple reaching upto his chin. She then highlighted it with, bright green color paint. The dragon was supposed to be emittimg flames from its mouth, which she drew till the other side of the temple, covering his other half chin. She then picked up a mirror and showed it to the boy and smiled.

The boy was actually stunned to see the fabulous speed and artistic style of girl. "How cool is that!! I loved it. How much?" 

"30 dollars!" The girl smiled looking at the handsome boy and blushed. 

"Here 100 dollars! Since I loved it too much. Thank you dearest!" The man smiled and got up instantly, walking quickly towards the dance floor. The man was now totally unrecognizable after bandana on his head and the dragon print on his face. 

He then swiftly walked amidst the crowd looking for the couple. His suddenly cheerful mood had gone all sour now. He coukd now sense it!! He could sense the danger approaching. His head and heart was giving him severe warnings now! 

"Oh! shit! I feel it!! He is going to die." The man ran like a mad man, looking for the couple. The beach was so large and over crowded that, it was almost impposible to search for them amidst the chaos. He looked and looked and his heart was sinking more with every passing minute. "Fast!! Fast!! Fast!! Come on!!" 

The man then started approaching the eating joints, which were spread along a long distance on the sandy shore. He was running like a mad man, alomg every eatimg joint, looking for them. 

The more he delayed, the more he could sense the danger approaching. But he knew, he was running in the right direction, it was not far away. He moved his head left and right, when suddenly he spotted a white colored counter underneath which man had pointed a tiny gun straight towards the other counter. 

The man gaped at the gun in horror and looked at the other counter, towarfs the aim of the gun and saw Rhehan and Rose laughing talking to each other. Rhehan was munching and side by side speaking something in Rose's ear, making the girl giggle and blush a bit. 

The man then again looked at the raised gun in horror, aiming straight towards Rhehan's head. The man who was holding the gun had his face painted entirely just like him and could not be recognised at all. He seemed to be waiting for the right moment to shoot Rhehan, when the coast was clear and the people moved away a bit. 

There was still some distance left for him to reach the italian counter so he sprinted towards the couple shouting Rhehan's name. "Rhehan!!!! Get a aside!!!! Rhehan!!!!!! Move away!!" He was waving his hand like a maniac, but Rhehan had his back towards the man and due to the loud music he could not sense anything at all. He ran faster as much as he could, but his speed was slowed down due to the sinking sand and due to the large crowd bumping in him again and again. He shouted again, waving his hand. "Rhehaaaannn!!!! Get aside!!!!! Rhehaaaan!!! 

Just then the running man saw that the man with the gun in his hand, had pressed the trigger, aiming the bullet straight towards Rhehan's head, who was oblivious to just everything that was happening behind his back...
