Part 11

"Happy birthday princess!" Mini and Neil wished Arya who had just woken up from her sleep. "Mumma, papa! Thankyou." Arya almost jumped in their arms. "Where are my gifts?" Arya asked excitedly. Mini and Neil both laughed at her. Mini like every year handed over to her a big teddy bear. Arya hugged him happily and decided to name him 'Golu' while Neil took her in his arms and placed his one hand on her eyes so that she cant see anything then he took her outside and made her sit on a bicyle. Arya opened her eyes and shouted in excitement. "Papa, you are the best. Wow...my first bicycle. Its so amazing." Arya became busy in opening the other gifts given to her by her nanu and naeem bi. While Mini started instructing Rani di about all the preparations to be done for Arya's birthday celebration in the evening.

"Today is the best birthday of my life." Arya declared. "Why is that?" Hanuman Singh asked. "Because today my mumma and papa both are with me and it will be my first birthday party where I'll cut the cake with both of them by my side." Arya explained as she again hugged both her parents. "Hmm..matlab hamari toh koi importance hi nahi hai is ghar mein." Hanuman Singh complained. "Nanu, you are the best." Arya said and came to sit in his lap.

All were having breakfast when Arya came running holding her two photographs. "Papa, which one is the best?" She asked. "Both are good. Why do want to pick one?" Neil replied. "Because madam ki demand hai ki unhe aaj sham ki party ke liye special cake chahiye with her photo on the top." Rani di explained. "Tell me na, which one is best." Arya asked again as she held both photos in her hand. Neil looked at both the photos. Arya was holding them in such a way that her eyes and nose were visible from first photo and beneath it there was second photo in which her lips and chin was visible. Suddenly something struck in Neil's mind as he looked at both the photos and remembered Bobby Bhatia's photo. That mark on his forehead which he thought he has seen somewhere.

"F**k!" He stood up suddenly from the breakfast table as he finally realized whats the mystery behind Bobby Bhatia. "Neil...language." Mini remind him while glaring at him and gesturing towards Arya. "Mumma, what does that means?" Arya asked innocently. "Nothing princess...it means nothing...forget about it." Neil tried to cover up. Mini glared him one more time while Hanuman almost choked on his breakfast as he tried to control his laughter.

"Dad, come we need to go immediately. I guess I found out who is Bobby Bhatia." Neil said and almost pulled Hanuman Singh with him. Both of them quickly got in the car while Mini ran behind them and finally managed to stop them at last moment. "Neil, today is Arya's birthday party. Be there on time...don't mess this up....I am warning you or else....." Mini made her intentions clear. "Of course, I wont miss it for anything. Just like Arya said, its her best birthday because both of us are here. How could I miss it." Neil assured her and gestured the driver to start the car.

"Tell me something at least now or else I'll die of suspense." Hanuman said as he followed Neil into the police station. "Bring me the files of all the victims." Neil ordered and an officer put the files in front of him. Mickey and other team member also came there to know whats the matter.

"Remember I was telling everyone that the face of Bobby Bhatia seems very familiar." Neil said. "Yes, it almost felt like we have seen him somewhere but none of us could really put our finger on it." Mickey replied. "Yes, exactly. And there were no records about him anywhere." Hanuman said. "Yes, Now look at the photo of Bobby Bhatia." Neil said and placed his photo on the table. Then he opened the victims file. He took the photo of one of the victim Jackie Chaddha and placed it on the table along side Bobby's photo. "Look at both of them....the same mark on forehead....same eyes....same nose and now...." Neil took a pause and put photo of another victim Kishore Singh beneath Jackie's photo. "...now see...again same chin and smile." Neil completed his sentence.
