Rihhane Of Story's
Saving a Painter

2 Days passed.

Rihan's condition is back to normal. The guests who stayed at the villa since yesterday have returned to their respective places, including Julian Antarik with Ayu, the Alexander family, and the Samantha family.

Before their return, Jhack, daddy Rihan accidentally gives a lot of baggage to the three families. I don't know what the man in his 40s is planning.

As for Ariana, Rihan just let her get away with it. Although there is a waiter who saw and reported Ariana's behavior to him, but Rihan let it go. There will be a time when Ariana's actions will be accounted for.

Yesterday, Jhon the uncle had a press conference and explained that the girl who looked like Rihan or Mentra's lover in disguise was not their son. Accurate evidence so that the public believes it.

Rihan also did not elaborate on his plans to his family, as he did not want to overload their minds. Rihan only asks Alex to explain the outline that is easily understood by his family.

...

Since there were still a few more days before their return to France, Rihan wanted to relax his body a little after 3 days of being confined in a room.

Riha wears a plain white oversized short-sleeved t-shirt, long black cargo pants, white sneakers, and also a black hat. He's ready for Alex's walk.

Although Rihan initially wanted to walk alone, but this time Alex did not want to be cheated again so the man forced to come along. Not to mention the possessive behavior of his family who are still worried about his health so they support Alex to take Rihan for a walk. Rihan just resigned and followed the wishes of those dear ones.

Alex is now driving a car at a speed splitting the streets of New York City, United States until Rihan suddenly asked him to stop at a painting gallery that looks very crowded outside.

It seems to be being held an exhibition, judging by the number of congratulations to the person who held the exhibition that was paired right in front of the building.

Rihan then got down and walked in there. His calm and cold carry, not to mention his relaxed appearance further added to his charm. Many eyes looked at him in amazement. Rihan is just being ordinary.

Rihan and Alex are already in the gallery. See the number of paintings plastered on each wall with a distance of each painting ranging 3 meters.

"The object in the picture looks very lonely. Although all the things he already had, but he still did not feel happy. He tends to be aloof, living in simplicity despite having a lot of wealth." Alex comments when looking at a painting size of 100×100 cm which shows a girl sitting with a sad face in a park. Though behind him there is a luxurious house, with complete facilities, there are also people who are active or sitting with their friends, family, and their respective spouses.

"It could be that they were his family who didn't want his presence so leave it alone" Reply Rihan who had come to assess the painting's situation.

"I don't think so, sir. Look at how it has grown and its struggles to be as successful as it is now. They were just people around him who didn't care about him." Alex said because it was in the painting depicted the growth of the girl and her struggle without family by her side.

"It seems you understand very much about painting." Praise Rihan confirming Alex's comments.

"Not really, Sir. I just accidentally read a book related to the painting and the meaning of each so that when I see this painting, I understand a little the viewpoint of the painter." Clearly Alex was calm as he stared at the painting in front of him.

"Hm."

"You're so great, young man. The point of view you are referring to is correct." A voice praised Alex's comment.

Rihan and Alex turned their eyes to a middle-aged lung man with two men by his side approaching them.

"Include me, I'm Evanino Walton."

"You are the one who held this exhibition, as well as the famous painter. Nice to meet you, Mr. Walton. I've seen some of your paintings. And that's so awesome." Alex then smiled faintly extending his hand.

"It's nice to meet a young man like you. You seem to understand the meaning of a painting." Praise Mr. Walton to Alex for welcoming Alex's hand size.

"Not really, Sir. I've only read a few books about you in my spare time." Reply Alex potluck.

"I see, if you have time, maybe you can look at my other paintings and leave a comment. This is my business card." Mr. Walton gave me his card.

"Thank you, Mister. It's an honor to know such a great painter like you. I will visit if I have time. I have to accompany my employer for a walk." Alex then received the business card and kept it.

"You must be the famous Young Master Rehhand. Nice to meet you." Mr. Walton looked towards Rihan who was just staring flat at the painting in front of him.

"Yes." Yeah." Rihan replied briefly then glanced at the face of the famous painter.

After that, Alex said goodbye to Mr. Walton because the master would see other paintings.

Both of them looked at the row of other paintings installed on the gallery wall. Many people came to see the exhibition. From the way they dress, it seems like they are classified as rich people who like paintings to be displayed in their homes.

Without feeling almost an hour Rihan and Alex were in the gallery with Alex who always commented on some paintings and only responded to a nod by Rihan.

"Let's go back!" Rihan said after seeing his watch.

"Good, Sir."

Both of them then get out of there. When they arrived at the exit, they passed Mr. Walton who was about to get into his car.

Rihan briefly stared at the middle-aged lung until he suddenly frowned and approached the middle-aged lung.

"Can I help you, young man?" Ask Mr. Walton who hasn't been able to get in because he saw Rihan approaching him.

Sreth!

"PROTECT MR. WALTON!" Shouted a guard standing there.

They were shocked by the bullet that almost penetrated Mr. Walton's head, if only Rihan had not moved quickly by pushing the middle-aged lung to the side, so the bullet missed the glass of the gallery building. The people inside the building instantly broke out and ran out in fear.

"Close!" Rihan's orders are flat on Mr. Walton.

"Are you all right, sir?" Alex asked who approached Rihan with a worried face.

"Yes. Give me your gun!" Peech Rihan flat.

Still with an anxious face, Alex took the gun behind his jacket and gave it to Rihan.

"You have a rival painter?" Rihan asked as his hands were busy putting bullets into the gun.

Rihan, Alex and Mr. Walton are currently taking shelter next to the lung car. Mr. Walton took refuge in another car while searching where the snipers had shot their employers.

"Yes. How do you know, young man?" Ask Mr. Walton confused.

"A rival won't let his opponent stand on it!" After replying, Rihan then stood up and focused his gaze onto the 10-story building in front of him. Exactly a room window.

Dorian

One shot, Rihan believes it hit the target, because Alex's gun has a mileage far enough, so that the target just a few meters in front of him is easily disabled.

With the lens used, Rihan's vision is clear enough to be able to see up to a certain distance. And make it easy to find the sniper's position.

"You.. go and see!" Rihan's orders are flat on a bodyguard of Mr. Walton. With his obedience the man nodded and crossed the road towards the building in front of him.

"Thank you, young man. From what I've caught from what you say, if all this was done by my rival?" Mr. Walton asked after thanking me.

"It turns out you can deduce it yourself." Rihan nodded and returned the gun to Alex.

"To my knowledge, Mr. Marshall is a friendly man. We always compete in a healthy way. There's no way he's doing this." Mr. Walton still doesn't believe it.

"I'm just guessing. Believe it and not, it's up to you." Reply Rihan and look towards the opposite building where the bodyguard he told was walking back while looking at a man beside him.

"He's the one who shot you, sir." Report the bodyguard after taking off the sniper and falling in front of Rihan and the others.

"Is he dead?" Ask Mr. Walton when the sniper didn't move.

"The bullet that hit him didn't make him die. He just fainted. An hour later, he was conscious. You can take him and ask who told him." Rihan then walks back to the car followed by Alex.

"Thank you, young man. Next time I'll buy you a meal." Said Mr. Walton and smiled faintly at Rihan's back.

Rihan who had slightly moved away, only raised his right hand waving at that middle-aged lung.

"How are things, Rei? It was already two days after that incident," asked Neo who was sitting in his big seat in the company.

"I just called Mr. Jhack's Mmansion, and he said he's cured. Now he's on a walk with his assistant." Reply Logan who stood looking at Neo.

"Good! I didn't have time to call him directly, so busy with these files." Neo turned to look at the pile of files that must be signed because they were left piled up to Indonesia.

"You seem to care a lot about that boy. You like her?" Logan asked putting on a seductive face at Neo.

"Do I have to hate it?" Ask Neo back.

"Not really, it's just that you're very attentive to her. With Ira alone, you don't show it" Cibir Logan won't lose.

"He helped Ira. He helped me too. What's wrong with me paying attention to him? Very strange!"

"I understand. But, don't you like it in any other sense, do you?" Logan asked still with his opinion. Logan still clearly remembers how Neo teased Rihan at that time.

"I'm still normal. Don't make me throw you with these files." Threatening Neo stared intently at Logan who was still putting on a seductive look.

"It could be because of the old effects of being single, you change direction. Look how light her body, slim her waist, and her pretty face outweighs a girl." Logan this time teased Neo with Neo's words at that time to Rihan.

"You..."

Sreth!

Bugh

A file finally landed right on Logan's face. The man did not get away so he hit his handsome face.

"Am I wrong? If I were in your position, I would probably like it too. Haha..." Logan then ran as fast as lightning out of the room before Neo threw him with a file that still mounted their overtime results last night.

"YOU RANCID SON OF A BITCH LOGAN!"

See you in the next chapter.

Thank ye.
