Marin was too excited to celebrate her birthday. She woke up at 8:00am. She took her smart phone and checked all the messages .All was birthday wishes. Her family members were much delighted. Marin felt as if she were flying in happiness. It was Sunday and so her cousins, Cole and Silvio were present in the house. She got blessings from her parents and from Jake and Saggy. Also she got blessings from her hero, Franklin. To her surprise, Franklin offered her a blank cheque! She felt happy. Marin became very delighted on seeing the birthday wishes from Lavan. Interestingly, he sent the message at 12.00 am.
She put on her new clothes and felt like a princess. Like most of the girls, she took many selfies and posted them in social networks. Time passed away. She was waiting for the party. She had her delicious lunch.
By 6:00 pm, she decided to get ready for the party. She would be the center of attraction in the party. Just 90 minutes left!
*********
Franklin was standing in front of the huge mirror to admire his beauty. Though he was in his eighties, he felt himself young and handsome. He was wearing a costly white coat and a black tie. He applied some talcum powder to his face to steal others' hearts.
He had finished his dressing. He took his white cane in his hands and decided to go downstairs. His family would be waiting for him. He turned his back to the huge mirror and decided to go to the wooden door.
When the door was several feet away from him, he noticed that the door was being opened by someone .He thought it would be his family members.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Franklin, who wore spectacles, was taken up on seeing the person who came in.
It was a lady.
It was not Rossy or Saggy. Not Marin. He knew her. The woman also knew him.
Franklin couldn't believe who he had seen. He barely breathed. The woman might be in her late fifties. She had brown hair and there was a scar on her forehead. She was wearing a brown coat. Her name was Paigne.
She was the daughter of Franklin.
The one who was found dead in her friend's house due to a leakage in the gas cylinder was standing alive in front of her dad! And she was the one who lived in the brown painted two-storey building and who stared at a photo frame when she moved to the kitchen.
"Hey! You, how did you come here?"Franklin asked in fear. As a dad, he should have embraced her. But he didn't do that. Instead he held his white cane tightly and decided to hit his own daughter! Before he could go closer to her, Paigne took out a gun from her pant pocket.
She fired it.
Instead of a bullet, a dart, which had tufts of violet feather, at one end headed towards Franklin's chest. It didn't contain any poison in it. It was an injection to make Franklin dizzy. It was fired to make him unconscious. Franklin sensed a bolt of pain in his hand. He trembled. Paigne, the daughter of Franklin went closer to her dad and murmured something to his ears .Franklin heard it:
"ORDER OF YOUR FATE"
Franklin's eyes widened out on hearing those words and all of a sudden he went unconscious.
