It was a large antique painting, with a beautiful bride dressed in a white gown holding a man"s hand, who was dressed in a black attire. They were looking at each other and in the back ground could be seen a beautiful church. The frame of the painting was made of antique gold.
Everybody gasped looking at the giagantic painting, even Rhehan could not help but gape admiringly at the beautiful 7 feet painting. "Wow! I did not expect it to be so good!" Rhehan whispered to himself, looking at the painting again and again.
The man holding the microphone looked at the painting and spoke up. "This painting was excavated by our company few years back. It is supposed to be created around the world war 2. The painting depicts the ever-lasting happiness for a couple in love. May I hear the price for the painting!"
Somebody from the audience raised his card. "20, 000 dollars!"
Another man raised his card speaking in a thunderous voice. "30, 000 dollars!"
"40,000 dollars!" Spoke another man.
Rhehan who was still looking at the painting, had decided to buy it. He wanted it to gift it to Elizabeth before she goes to her trip, since she loves to paint. "Perfect!"
The count had already reached 80,000 dollars, when suddenly Rhehan held up his card, coming out of a trance. "1 million dollars!"
Their were loud gasps from the crowd and everybody sat down quietly.
"Do I hear any more bids? Anyone? Ohk! Sold!! To Mr. Jobs for 1 million dollars!"
Rhehan smiled, looking at the painting. He was happy to have a perfect gift for his mother.
The second item for the auction, was brought to the stage. Rhehan gaped at it in amazement. A large bronze statue of atatched pair of lions, with a small cub on the back of a one lion, was being ushered in a wooden trolly.
"These are the bronze statues estimated to be atleast 300 years old, weighing 29.8 kgs. These two lions depict our Imperial lions, one female and the other a male. The imperial lions have been a part of our chinese culture from past many centuries. Do I hear the first bid for the statue?"
"10 million dollars!" Spoke a man.
"12 million dollars!!" Stood up another man.
Rhehan was mesmerised to see the statue once again. It"s carvings and detailings were simply too perfect for Rhehan to not buy it. He wanted to gift this one to his master. Rhehan was sure that Xio Lee would love it!
"50 million dollars!" Rhehan raised his card again, looking at the gigantic and artistic statue. Everybody was once again left clean bowled by the man and even the bidder was now left stunned by the man.
"Do I hear any more bids? Anyone! Sold! To Mr. Rhehan Jobs again for 50 million dollars!!"
Everybody clapped again for the man, while Rhehan smiled looking at the statue. He did not expect to like the auction items so much!
Soon the next item for auction was being brought to the stage. It was a beautiful necklace with uncut precious stones on it. The necklace was simply too beautiful to take ones"s eyes off it.
"Our next item is one of the egyptian queen"s necklace, which was supposed to be her favourite. It consists of pure precious stones uncut rubies, emeralds, uncut diamonds and blue and green saffire. As you can see, the necklace has hand engravings on its gold joints, which is attatching the stones together! Do I hear the first bid for this beautiful piece!"
This was probably the most beautiful piece of jewellary Rhehan has ever seen in his life. "How beautiful and natural!" He was still imagining it to be worn by Rose, when the bid for this one had already reached 100 million dollars.
"150 million dollars!" Spoke a lady from the crowd.
"200 million dollars!" Spoke another man.
"220 million dollars!"

After Rhehan was fully convinced that this will be a perfect birthday gift for Rose, he pulled up his card. "500 million dollars!!!"
