The rich family reached the Harry's restaurant in their Mercedes. They stepped out of the car and gazed at the majestic look of the restaurant. The Harry's restaurant was a grand five-star hotel and it was one of the best hotels in the city. If you go to this hotel, you will have the tendency to eat all the dishes. Franklin, who tried to look normal, admired the beauty of the hotel. This became his favorite hotel, when he was a youngster. He knew that he should not have come here. But he forced himself to come to celebrate his granddaughter's birthday. He knew that today might be his last day in this beautiful earth. But he remained silent. He went closer to Milan and said, "Where is Marin?"Milan nodded and said, "She will be inside". Franklin nodded and the family members entered the hotel.
The entire restaurant was air-conditioned. There were many places to eat. At one end of the hotel, a girl was sitting on a chair. The dining table contained nearly ten chairs. She was sitting on the first chair. She had her mobile phone in one of her hands. She was sitting there for nearly thirty minutes and she was sad. Because, after her arrival to this hotel, her father informed her that her grandfather had became unconscious. She was too worried about that. She was Marin. Marin noticed the entry of her family. She was excited to see her grandfather .She realized that they were searching for her. She rose from her seat and waved at them. Jake was the first to notice her. Soon they went closer to her. Marin hugged Franklin and wept .He was the hero in her life.
They sat in their seats and started to order their food. Franklin ordered his all time favorite, fish biryani.

After a few minutes, Lavan reached the building which was opposite to the restaurant. The building was incomplete. It was a two-storey building.
There was a tea stall closer to the building. When he approached the basement of the building, the man at the stall called out his name.
Lavan was surprised to hear his name being called by a stranger .At first, he thought that it would be the man who had contacted him when he was in his house. He went closer the man. He was the owner of the tea stall. The man came closer to Lavan and whispered, "Show me your gun."
Lavan froze on hearing that. He twisted around to see whether anyone noticing them or not. Next he took the gun out from his shoulder bag. He showed it to the man. The man nodded and asked Lavan to keep it with him. The man showed Lavan the way to the terrace of the building. Lavan grew angry at this man. They are using him to kill Franklin. He raised his voice and said, "Who are you?" The man chuckled and said "That's none of your business. If you want Marin, kill Franklin. The security cameras will be hacked by my boss so that you will not be arrested. Now go up." Lavan couldn't tell anything. He came to know that the man who was standing opposite to him was not the man who had contacted him. He also came to know that a gang was ready to kill Franklin and Lavan became the scapegoat. To save his bestie's life, he went to the terrace of the building with the gun.
*********
Marin's eyes were searching for her bestie. More than thirty minutes had passed, after the beginning of the party. Lavan didn't come yet and that made Marin sad. She wanted to see him. He told her that he would give the second gift to her at the party. But nothing had happened. She tried to smile and tried to look excited. She barely enjoyed the party.
*********
Lavan could feel the gentle breeze touching his skin. He made a plan. He didn't know anything about the gang who wanna kill Franklin. Actually, something told him that the boss of the gang was not there. So he couldn't know whether Lavan killed Franklin or not. The only threat was the presence of the tea stall owner. Lavan stood at the terrace of the incomplete building. He took his gun out and held it firmly. He decided not to shoot Franklin. After a minute, the boss of the gang made a call to him. Lavan attended it without any second thoughts.
"Are you ready?" the man asked. Lavan knew what he has to tell .He said, "Yes. You have to keep up the promise."
"Sure. Marin would be released the next second when you shoot Franklin.", the man said. That made Lavan a little happier. The man cut the call.
Lavan prepared a plan. He decided to shoot somewhere else and that might make the man release Marin. He didn't bother about the tea stall owner.
After thirty minutes, the family came out of the restaurant. Lavan stood rooted to the place on seeing the two people coming out.
His heart stopped for a second. He was holding the gun in his hands to kill an old man to save his bestie. But his bestie came out with her grandfather. His instincts told him that he was cheated. What did he do? He received a message. He read it,
Kill Franklin or I will kill you!!!
Lavan made his decision. He decided to shoot up. He didn't bother about the man and the message. He let out a deep breath and raised his hands up and pressed the trigger.
Lavan heard a girl screaming. He recognized the voice. It came from Marin, who was holding one hand of Franklin and getting out the hotel. Lavan saw blood trickling out from Franklin's shirt. Lavan was baffled to see this. He shot only towards the sky. He couldn't believe anything at all.
Suddenly he felt a bolt of pain in his chest. He bent down to see his chest. Like that of Franklin, blood poured out from his shirt. He trembled and lay still. He came to know that he was tricked by someone. Like the words on the box said it was his fate's order to die.
