Their were loud noises of surprised gasps in the hall. This time even more louder than the previous ones. Rhehan pursed his lips, feeling a bit embarrased fron all the attention he was recieving.
He had not planned to be a centre of attraction at an auction ever, but this time he was utterly helpless. He was simply in love with all the three items they had presented. Each one fitting to gift his family members, thus he could not help but buy them all.
"Do I hear any more bids? Anymore bids? Anyone?" The bidder slammed the hammer happily. "Sold! Once again to Mr. Rhegan Jobs, for 500 million dollars! Thank you Mr. Jobs."
The crowd errupted in thunderous claps, this time not ceasing at all. Rhehan blushed under everybody's gaze, looking down at his hands shyly. "Gosh!! Please stop starring at me. I only like it, when my hubby looks at me!" Rhehan whispered to himself, closing his eyes as if in distress.
Rhehan was determined to not buy anything else now, no matter how good it was. Not that he could not afford to buy anything else. The already spent amount was just like taking out a drop from a vast sea, but he did not want to look like a typical show-off CEO, who barged in a random auction, just to show- off his wealth and power. "Ohk! That's it!! No more!!"
Soon, the next item was brought on the stage, placed on a trolley again and everybody gasped again in surprised. Rhehan was determined to not even take a glance at the next item now. He kept starring at his hands, not even looking at the stage even once.
The bidder started speaking on the microphone again. "This precious artifact is actually a sword, made of an unknown metal. We have tried very hard, with the help of various scientists to decipher the kind of material used in this sword, but each time failed. The sword is believed to have been belonged to a majestic egyptian king and was found in the excavation process, inside the king's grave. While his body remains in his coffin have been duely, burried back, the sword was taken out for further study. Its amazing engravings and stone work, makes it one unique sword, which was unlike the swords of the other rulers of that era!!"
Rhehan who was listening to the entire decription spoken by the bidder, almost skipped his heart- beat hearing the man's words. Found inside the grave of a majestic king? Egyptian king? Metal unknown? Rhehan covered his face in horror and finslly gathered the courage and looked up at the stage.
His eyes popped open, to see the familar shining metallic sword, kept in a transparent glass box. It was exactly similar to what he saw in the dream that morning. "Oh! God!! It can't be! It was just a dream." Rhehan whispered nervousely, wiping away the sweat from his forehead.
He then carefully unbuttoned his shirt from his wrist, slightly revealing his bracelet. The quality and style of the engravings on both was exactly the similar. The color and shape of stones on both were also the same. "Metal unknown? Ashes of an enchantress!" Rhehan whispered, looking at the sword again! "So it is all true!! The dream that I saw, was all true! The sword was meant to come to me!!"
Rhehan took deap breaths, trying to calm himself down. "Ok! Ok! Relax! You can not panic here! It's ok! It's ok! Think about Rose...Just think about Rose and nothing else. Ok!"
